Can I replaced an attached power cord?
As for cost, it all depends on if it's worth it to you.In my examples, I spent about $50.00 making a DIY 83802 & installing an IEC jack on a relatively inexpensive DVD player; about $20.00 ea. (x2) for a Volex & strain relief to replace th... 
how do you determine what to upgrade next?
The obvious question that needs to be addressed is, "what do you want to change/improve/adjust?"Once you have a plan of action, you can move in that direction but I'd suggest optimizing what you have now in order to obtain a reference point.By thi... 
Can I replaced an attached power cord?
You can go about it two different ways. Cut out an opening for an IEC jack or put in another captive PC.I've done both styles & they took about the same amount of work, as I had to enlarge the opening for a bigger strain relief when going to a... 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
I don't know when I'll stop making upgrades but for the time being I'm going to stick with my Ayre V-1x & VR4 GenIII's.I'd also like to mention I've had Luminous Audio cables in my system for the last three years, which is 2 yrs. & 9 mo. b... 
Anyone know anything about Eleanor McEvoy?
I picked up her self titled CD in '93 or '94 & it's good to hear the word is getting out about her. 
Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality
I've found that any cord (or wall receptacle) using silver has an inherent quality that I perceive as brightness, regardless of what position I use it in the system. I also have dedicated lines but that didn't do anything for brightness; rather it... 
Powercord to tame brightness and add musicality
I auditioned many PC's before I settled on the TG Audio 688 for my CDP.You'll get a lot of different recommendations & this is what worked best for me. 
More on the VR4seIII
I reviewed my VR4 GenIII's a few yrs. ago & recently did an update here that you may find interesting.With an amp big enough to deliver higher SPL's w/o distortion you don't need to bi-amp, although that gives you more headroom. I can easily p... 
Tweaks That Don't Work
Like several other posters, I've had a variety of PC's that didn't do anything or even worse, had a negative affect. I have some now that I like but only after doing the DIY thing for a few years.The other tweak that at first I thought made a huge... 
Max. dB level at break in w/ VR4jr
I think I mentioned during one of our conversations that I played my GenIII's loud enough during the first 100 hrs. that I couldn't stand to be in the same room with them & not because they were so loud, rather they just sounded so bad. I woul... 
Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll
I think everybody has valid points with everything said, which bears out that the market controls itself. You get the occasional great deal but like so many have mentioned, you have to be quick on the trigger. I've been the 3rd to respond to an ad... 
Dead 83-yr old sued by recording industry
I wonder what the story would've been like if the RIAA went to court & a subpoena was issued? 
Powercords $1000 that beat VH Audio cords
The Flavor 4 is flexible enough that you don't have to manhandle it to make bends. Mine completes a 90 degree turn from the amp just by gravity around 8", although I could do it in a shorter space if I had to. 
Do Any High End Speakers Boogie/Rock? BW 804 Blues
I second the Von Schweikert line. Size wise the VR2 is pretty close to your 804 yet excels in regards to bass. 
Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR4 Gen III Speaker
Time for another update. I have again moved up in the Ayre line, this time to the V-1x and have upgraded from the ChrisVH Flavor 2 to his Gold Flavor 4. I have also moved up in the Luminous Audio line to the Synchestra Reference XLR. The biggest d...
