| Mapleshade versus Stealth OK: I received the Mapleshade Double Helix digital cable yesterday and have been running it for 24 hours (with very little sleep:-) - First impressions are that of jaw dropping musicality combined with fine detail. If you have not viewed the micro... | |
| Power Chords and Line Conditioning Hi Tom: I use both though neither the conditioner or PC are expensive ones (Monster HTS 2000 and HT Pro 11 PC). I have made a fairly thorough assessment (with my ears and brain, not electronic test equipment) of their impact on my system and have ... | |
| CD Recorder that has decent sound? Ramstl: Your not my tax accountant are you? Santa Monica Blvd. near Gower. | |
| Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$ PS: I will be using The Cable Company (as soon as some new stuff in my system settles in) to audition digital cables. My only other alternative is to buy used and sell which I feel is too much of a bother. They also have many used cables as well a... | |
| Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$ Metaphysics: The debate is so wide over cables in general, you really should use your ears to decide. I have never upgraded the PC on my amp, because it is still under warrenty and the PC's (two pieces) are integral. I did use an inexpensive PC by... | |
| Mapleshade versus Stealth Thanks for the info Carl, and now there is the new Homegrown Silver Lace IC at approx. $190.00. I wanted to order the Mapleshade IC's with their digital cable but need to upgrade the PC on the new DAC more and could not swing both. I just got a ni... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations Doug: Good. They have a good rep., glad to hear that it was not a design flaw. Anyone that has ever worked on an assembly line knows that "stuff" happens. | |
| Best Digital Cable around $100 used Thanks Mike: Funny, I am using a borrowed Canare cable today (the one that is kind of a faded purple/pink). I was told by the guy who loaned it to me that it is not very good, but I just wanted to hook up the DAC that has been setting on the shelf... | |
| Results of granite platforms for Silverl Sorry: I thought that I was posting to the "Shelf Material" thread. | |
| Results of granite platforms for Silverl I discussed the use of Maple for shelving with Pierre of Mapleshade and was told that gluelams are fine as long as the seams are vertical (visibal from the top or bottom of the shelf like butcherblock). Horizontal layered seams I was told ruin the... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band I just picked up "The Best of Pete Townshend, Cool walking, smooth talking, straight smoking, firestoking" today. These are modern renditions of some of his older songs. They do not have the wild resonance of concerts played at race tracks, stadiu... | |
| Best Digital Cable around $100 used Mikesiowa: What did the Mapleshade do better in your system? There are not a lot of customer reviews on these cables and I would be interested in hearing your take on the cable if you have the time. PS: I have one on order (the Double Helix). Thanks. | |
| Wrong direction? When I wrote the above post, I did not think of the fact that the selection of my Musical Fidelity amplifier was based on a review by Hi-Fi Choice. I could not audition the amp locally and had the option of returning the amp less shipping within 3... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations Doug, you were having problems with your Melos a while back. Was it just some stupid assembly mistake that was causing the problem? | |
| Velodyne Sub Trouble The low E note on a bass guitar is around 40-41 htz, I beleive. |
