| DIY PCs I made my own PCs with Furutec components from Cable Co. I bought heat shrink tubing and cable covering from Amazon. I was able to make custom lengths for my five cables. Good luck. | |
| Getting into Stevie Ray Vaughn And If you ever get to Austin, there is a really cool statue of Stevie Ray down on Town Lake or "Lady Bird Lake" near the 1st street bridge. I was born in Austin and he was an icon back in the 80's. It was a really sad day when he died. I often wa... | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? Sold all of my analog about25 years ago and went digital. At the time my analog was mostly McIntosh. I went with Nakamichi and enjoyed it for years. Atsome point I got out of audio and stored all of my cd's till about a year ago and started buildi... | |
| Build a wooden crate or use a cardboard box for Amplifier. Contact Krell and ak if they will sell you a packing box for your units. A lot of manufacturers will do this. I know McIntosh does. You would pay for the boxes but they are designed for your particular units. FWIW | |
| Hearing aids for audiophiles. FWIW I have worn hearing aids for over 15 years. I started with "in the canal" versions. They are ok but the my current are behind the ear and give the best possible audio experience. They are Starkey Audibel Via. They a rechargeable bluetooth and... | |
| Considering an integrated jutish you are brave for mentioning McIntosh. I agree the MA5300 is a great amp and I had one. Most folks around here do not care for Mc but I do and own a great setup with separates. | |
| Ignored Offers Over a year ago I made a very reasonable offer on a Mc amp and never got a response. The amp is still for sale. I would be nice to at least get a "no thanks" or a counteroffer. | |
| How to find the min and max bending radius of a cable. Why did I read through this...? | |
| eBay / PayPal: Beware - enough is never enough. I just sold several photography items. I have been paid through the new payment system for my last two items and one of the has clearly not been delivered. I guess I am confused when some folks say that they are not getting paid by ebay till the i... | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? I have two nephews in their twenties that are into vinyl so all is not lost. Their mother buys them 70's albums all the time. | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? If you don't mind no words but just music, then try Beauty of Love by Shardad. It is a very compelling cd especially "Connies Butterfly" | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB I have both the cd and vinyl. the vinyl is hard on the cart and tonearm as it will jump out of the groove during the canon shots. | |
| Power cable education needed FWIW I built my own PC's with Furutec components from CableCo. I was able to make custom lengths and they all hook into my power controller. Are they better than the ones provided? Yes. Are they better than a lot of the custom ones for sale? Who ... | |
| Do you have ways to ease use of vinyl? Like hobo1452, I sold my vinyl over 30 years ago or rather traded them all in for cd's. About a year ago I decided to get back into vinyl. I had already built a rack and there was this very convenient place on top for a turntable. Of course that l... | |
| Lessons learned about packing for shipment "Shark fin" I remember when my McIntosh speakers arrived on a pallet the dealer had strapped a small box well packed right on top of one of the speakers. McIntosh packs their equipment very well especially heavy speakers (200 lbs) for the pair. I ... |
