| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options temmple & mesch: Have you tried the Micca cables yet? I like them but do not have a system suitable to review them in. Aside from the mini-system the living room rig doesn't use a woofer or a tweeter (just and unaided wide band driver).... | |
| Best sounding portable CD player/radio....some would call it a boombox I looked at them 10 months ago (wife wanted something simple to listen to CD's in the spare computer/bedroom) and after sorting through hundreds of reviews I came to the conclusion that most/all of them were unreliable crap. I then pulled out m... | |
| What cables to use. 15’ should not be a problem for a decent HDMI cable. I’ve used a 30’ Monoprice a few times to directly connect our Internet modem to the cable box (usually run WiFi, but it craps out from time to time) and it worked fine. This said, our previous... | |
| Cost break down of hifi system Pick up a pair of these speaker cables to compare to others you audition. DeKay | |
| What cables to use. HDMI. May or may not make a sonic difference over optical (depends upon the quality of the TV/cable provider), but you will be good to go with any improvements down the line. Think they are around the same price, so HDMI. If you shop Amazon or ... | |
| Bottlehead moreplay vs Audio research reference 5se (early impressions) I'm flush (just saved $1700, or so, by purchasing 2 pairs of the Micca speaker cables mentioned in another thread;-). DeKay | |
| Bottlehead moreplay vs Audio research reference 5se (early impressions) Great... Been researching the heck out of a SS integrated (this past year) to replace my 20 year old Bottlehead Foreplay/Paramour combo and now I WANT a Moreplay. Just great. DeKay | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? I would start by pulling and reseating all the tubes (rectifier included) when the amp/tubes are cold. If the popping persists replace the new tubes with the old ones. If there is no popping after this systematically swap in the new tubes one @ ... | |
| Surge protection I purchased a couple of the PST-8 units earlier this year and they sound fine. However, when researching them asking prices were all over map. I purchased 2 units for around $200/shipped while some venders listed single units in the $200-$240 ra... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options The Micca 14 gauge sound pretty good (20 hours playing time). They sound more like my solid core copper cable (47 Labs/Neotech than the stranded (Kimber/Canare) I’ve tried. I’ll probably order another 6’ and a couple of the 12’ to have around. ... | |
| Q. re Gemme Tanto Tweeter Replacements Let us know if the purchase works out (they have gobs of parts listed). Wish I could post photos as the RED microwave went back to the car trunk 2+++ years ago (purchased a replacement/white Sharp unit as the color was driving me nuts) and it's s... | |
| I don't get LRS and cheap Ayima AO7 amp Once everything breaks in it will sound really bad. DeKay | |
| RS6001 at a garage sale Depends upon the condition (prices are all over the map). Go to hifishark and run a search of current and sold/expired listings. They scan/document listing @ numerous sites (including A'Gon). DeKay | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options Lak: Ordered a 6’ pair for the mini system we use in the spare bed/computer room. Used Canare 4S11 for 6+ months (now trying Neotech 22 gauge solid Cu). The setup (sans surge protector/power cord) cost less than $100 so $33 including tax seems ... | |
| Why would a moderator remove a cable review? Did you post anything bad about Miss Jenkins? That'l do it everytime. DeKay |
