| Toslink vs. RCA Called Steve at Great Northern Sound this morning. Found him to be very friendly and helpful. He has three different AT&T ST cables available. The first two were out of my price range ($400 & $900 as I recall). The third was the 3 meter Wa... | |
| The best way to design an audio system. Though lacking the experience and expertise of the respondants thus far, the beginning of my audio journey nontheless encompassed a lot of their suggestions. My current system replaced a mass market one, so I lacked a usable reference for how an a... | |
| Toslink vs. RCA Thanks, 6chac. Will call him in the A.M. | |
| Toslink vs. RCA 6chac, what you wrote parallels other's experiences I read. The REAL question is "Where can I buy a decent AT&T ST cable?" For instance, where did you buy yours? Any particular info I need for ordering? TIA. | |
| Toslink vs. RCA Talk about timely topics. I spent a fair amount of time last weekend searching through Audiogon's archives for information on AT&T ST. There were lots of opinions on whether Toslink, coax, AES/EBU and AT&T ST was the best digital connectio... | |
| Maggies damaged in transit questions Given you have the dealer's agreement to pay all costs incurred (except that portion you are willing to absorb) and you have the option to talk to Magnepan after they examine the speakers to confirm the repairs will meet all expectations (i.e., th... | |
| How often do you upgrade your other passions? The answer to this, after thinking it over, kind of surprised me as it's the same for all my "disposable big ticket" items. The main ones are cars, girl friends and hang gliders. Across the board, 3-5 years and it's time for a new one. Not sure if... | |
| Black Diamond Racing Products I'm confused A nice feature of Audiogon is the listing of manufacturers available on the home page. From it I found http://www.dynavector.com/black.htm. Hope that helps! | |
| Anyone else like to Listen in the Dark? That's easy. Lights off at night, eyes closed during the day. The hard part is to not get too relaxed and fall asleep!Albertporter, for a real treat give the Springbank 25 a try. Sensational by most anyone's standards."Scotch is like women; it's b... | |
| Has your system changed the music you listen to? For background, my current system began taking shape ~3 years ago. It replaced a ten year old mid-range receiver system used to play mostly rock and jazz; in that order. The rock albums seldom come out anymore, except on those occasional retro ins... | |
| New tubes for SFL-1 / SFS40 Looked it up and now understand the 6DJ8s are for the amp, not the pre. My mistake. A synopsis of the characteristics of a variety of 6DJ8 tubes is located on the Audio Asylum at http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/joes-tubes.h... | |
| New tubes for SFL-1 / SFS40 Seanchau,Which pre-amp do you need tube suggestions for, a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 (http://www.anthemav.com/pics/sfl1big.jpg) or a Line 1 (http://www.anthemav.com/pics/line1big.jpg)? These are two very different products. Your most recent reference ... | |
| Can you overdamp the front wall? Rives,Your perspective on the CARA CD piqued my interest. Any comments on the usefulness/accuracy of the Stereophile Test CDs? | |
| CAL Alpha DAC - Cool Tubes? You did ask originally ask about tweaks, didn't you? My Alpha sits on BDR cones and Those Things which cleans the sound up a bit. The top end gets a little fuzzy when they're removed. The original PC was replaced with a Synergistic Master Coupler.... |
