| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll Has anyone successfully used class D amps with 16 ohm rated speakers? I've tried a few versions of the cheap Sonic Impact amps as well as the Sharp SD-EX111 mini system with such and the sound of the mid's on up is odd/wrong. Both were fine with... | |
| RIP Christine McVie mbennes: Wonder why she did not receive credits for a few albums? Perhaps she was still under contract from another label? I saw them live first in late 1970 (I think) and she was there on stage. I lost interest in FM when Nicks joined as her ... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp Funny... I purchased a TOTL P&S orange outlet back then (maybe $20+ years ago) and it sucked for HiFi use. I gave it to a neighbor to use in his cellar located wood shop. This thread has been a positive mental exorcise for me as I have not ... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp jea: Great info, thanks. As the OP just brought up copper content I recall that the early 5262 and/or 5263 used a high percentage of copper in the brass used. This said, many things have changed since then (so many design/material changes). Tr... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp Here's are pics of a Porterport using a Hubbell 8300HI (per the ad). I recall that Albert also used 5262 & 5362 as a base for the Porterport. Beryllium is typically used in small quantities to enhance/strengthen copper (it's extremely toxic... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp Most of my 8300's are not plated (there were different versions). Pretty certain the 5362's are not plated, but not 100% sure. Also, as mentioned, mine were purchased 20 years ago. The plain 8300's may have a letter following the #, but I can't... | |
| Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp I use both 5362 and 8300. Two 5362's in wall and 8300's in my power conditioners. They were all manufactured 20+ years ago. When trying them in wall the 5362 was slightly richer sounding with the 8300 sounding a little lighter/brighter. I use ... | |
| The Right Speaker Cables Try these as an inexpensive experiment. Been running them in a "mini system" for a few months now and they come close to my 47 Labs, Neotech and other cables. DeKay | |
| Hi-fi installation in a cave? "In the Garden of Eden" - baby! I heard the one @ Scotty's Castle when I was a kid, but this thing looks amazing. DeKay | |

| Hi-fi installation in a cave? Found the cables, but the speakers are a bit iffy. http://www.bearlabsusa.com/NEXT/SILVERLIGHTNING.html DeKay | |

| Hi-fi installation in a cave? Balanced Audio Technology for the electronics, but what cables and speakers? DeKay | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? jerry: Winwood is spot on (listen to him often). DeKay | |
| Are solo efforts ever better? Lou Reed, though he wasn't the star. The Fab Four sans Ringo. George Gobel, after he parted with The Knaut so Knotty Boys, is a no brainer. DeKay |
