| Remote volume control for preamp? Jolida has unit (JD50A) that I used with a 502B for a while...couldn't tell it was in the system & worked very well. | |
| Speltz Anti-cable needs break-in period? Sean,If they used pigments in the fiberglass that are similar to those used in coatings (I suspect they would be very similar as the pigments are cheap commodities & would have the same function in fiberglass...color & hiding the substrate... | |
| Power conditioners and amp dynamics??? I recently put together a DIY AC power conditioner (Risch design) and have the pre, amp, & CDP plugged into it. I did do A-B testing on several dynamic CDs and there's no change that I can hear. It cleaned up the sound nicely too. | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue Forgot to mention, I just ordered "Someday My Prince Will Come"...you may want to look into this one. | |

| Stupid question about power cables ... Subaruguru isn't answering emails any longer..at least not mine. turbo,Do a search on google for "bob crump asylum" and you'll end up at diyaudio (I think), it'll give you all you need to know about building a pretty reasonable PC. Another option ... | |
| FM Antenna Godar vs. Magnum Dynalab I tried the Godar unit..can't remember the model (bat wing one that's about 50-60 inches). I found it no better than a simple $2 dipole. I'm about 25-30 miles from the transmitter. | |
| Isolation transformer -low cost power conditioner? Go over to AA on the Tweaks forum and search for the Jon Risch isolation transformer & ac filtering projects.

| Acoustic TReatments - What, How much, & Where? BJ,I wouldn't go with the auralex foam either, but the drawing you'll get from auralex will give you an idea of room treatment placement. From that point you can address the areas any way that suits you. I'll be building my room treatments this wi... | |

| Info on Snell C-lll Speakers I posted to this yesterday..but it didn't make it through for some reason.You might want to check out the type D's or the C-V's. Both have great sound & are an excellent buy. I run a pair of E-IV's and Type A's. The E-IV's are also a very nice... | |
