| Cable confusion Houndog:"My general approach to purchases is to buy quality once and then stick with it, rather than buying something that's less expensive and then upgrading every few years."I generally agree with that, except I have found "less expensive" is no... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables Jayctoy: Looking forward to hearing about the results of your comparison. Got two pairs of the ICs also. The music sounds great here.Sean: It makes a lot of sense what you are saying. My approach for this system is putting the $$$ in the right pla... | |
| Speakercables : cool cold and frantic drive. " I have also learned that only 5 out of 50 answers are something to read." Maybe, but you have to read them all to know which five were worth it. Try Speltz Anti-Cables if you haven't already. Ask if there is a trial period (I think there is) du... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables Sean (or anyone),What would be a good rate of twist per foot for these solid wire cables?thanks,Gary | |
| Speltz Anti Cables Yeah, I know my cable supports are ugly, but didn't mean for them to kill the thread. It was going so well! | |
| Speltz Anti Cables In order to keep the cables closer, I used clear tubing as a spacer with a short piece of cable wrap to hold it together. This photo shows the previous setup compared to now. The cables are higher off the carpet as well as closer together. Bass is... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables This is how I have the cables spaced about 1.5" and raised above the carpet about 5". They are the myrtlewood bases with electric insulators I used as supports for the previous cables with a dowel to adapt them to hold these separate wires. It's a... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear Cellorover: Any loss of satisfaction for not being the one who has the mods done would likely be offset, for example, by scoring DNA-1 Rev A monoblocks for $2600 or some similar bargain. For those who have taken a couple of minutes to actually rea... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear LOL, no worries. Now I never actually paid out the big dollars for a custom pistol, but I do appreciate the quality workmanship that goes into them. A good quality item just keeps on giving and is difficult to take for granted. I have found this t... | |
| Selling McCormack Upgraded Gear Before you send a stock unit to be modded, make sure it is going to fit the needs of your system well into the future and expect to get the value from using it. You probably won't recover the cost if you decide to resell, but the real reward is fr... | |
| McCormack Silver vs. Gold revision for DNA-125? Dawg, My advice would be to get as much done as possible with one trip back to SMc Audio. The minimum upgrade I would consider is the Gold. If you get the Silver, you will always wonder...."How much difference will it make?" and "is it worth it?" ... | |

| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 "SE" upgrade - worth it? It would be worthwhile to find out the vintage of the Tesla tubes and, if they will do the upgrade without them, what is their value. It was suggested to me the pair of tubes that have the most impact on sound quality are those at the LV1 and V2 s... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Line 3 Mod by Parts Connection? I do not know anything about the PCx upgrade, but I did own a new Line 3 SE that was built at the factory before it closed. It was an excellent preamp, but found I prefer the Placette Passive in many ways. The Line 3 is very well designed, a true... | |
| Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R? I'd try the Bel Canto you are talking about. I read the specs and looks like it has plenty of high current and power for the 3.6s. Never heard a Bel Canto amp, but suspect it will be more musical than the Bryston from all the reports. |
