| best DIY power cord? For what it's worth, a quick Web search shows that Take Five Audio sells Belden 83802 by the foot for $3.55 (Canadian). That's a little more than $2.25 (US) a foot. | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? Interesting discussion. I "discovered" Ms. Krall just a couple of years ago and immediately took a liking to her work. In my view, having since acquired and become familiar with all of her releases a trend has seemingly emerged. I'm curious if any... | |
| Amp upgrade recommendations At the risk of nit picking I'd like to add a minor addition to Stehno and Asi_tek's dialog: Based on discussions with Steve McCormack and a variety of others the SMc Rev. B modded amps are "similar" to the newer production models. That's because s... | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III The following is a bit like shooting in the dark since nothing about listening space, equipment or musical preferences was shared. Nonetheless, I also own Revelation Threes and they DO take up a lot of space and not just because of their size; the... | |
| What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3? Marakanetz, don't get me wrong. My main interest was in passing on my first hand experience with a component from the same line as Semi's, not to get into a debate about design philosophies or the drying up of the NOS tube supply. The former is ou... | |
| What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3? In this case, Marakanetz, it's a combination of the current production, tizzy-sounding Sovtek 6922 tubes being put into equipment that was not intended to have a "tubey" sound in the first place. It is certainly not because Sonic Frontiers' produc... | |
| Soprano's Stereo & Music??? Do you think the band's name helped them get the gig? | |
| What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3? Have you considered that it may not be the amp? I know there are differences between the models, but in my SF Line 1 replacing the stock tubes with NOS 7308s changed the sound from similar to what you describe (I called it dry and somewhat brittle... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Here's a very cheap tweak; it cost me nothing!After posting a write up of my 2-channel only system on Audiogon, which included pictures of the room, a couple of readers suggested removing the television from between the speakers. It's now in a dif... | |
| Leveling spikes for speakers Chuck, if I owned this place that would probably be the best solution. Especially since the carpet is getting close to needing replacment, too. Unfortunately, I am a renter, so that ain't gonna happen.Dogpile, ML's are noted. | |
| Leveling spikes for speakers Thanks, Bob. Didn't see anything on those sites about BBC's products, but did find that Polycrystal has three sizes of cones that appear to come with adjusters. | |
| Leveling spikes for speakers Interesting responses thus far. Except Ernie's. He missed the obvious: this is a hardware problem and I only do software. Actually, we used to work together and I've come to expect such shennanigans from him. ;-)The ideas on using nuts and washers... | |
| Good Audio Dealer in San Francisco There are few things worse than a well informed Bozo, right Blw? ;-)Add another positive vote for Bay Area Audio and a negative one for The Audible Difference. BAA was responsible for a fair portion of my early education in audio (Audiogon gets th... | |
| Vandersteen 3ASigs amp? Bigtee, are your DNA-.05s stock or modded by SMcAudio? | |
| Cable Comparison-Stage 1 Thanks for responding, guys. Am looking forward to your review of the new digital cables. Oh, and sorry for any inconvenience my "reviews" might have caused, Viggen. ;-) |
