Are silver cables on the way out? Tim; well said, I agree. You might want to check my thread on the FIM 880 outlet (It's still on the front page). I wrote a review that pretty much compared a good copper AC outlet to a good Silver plated one. Cheers. Craig | |
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I haven't tried the PS Audio outlet but would like to-- I have Hubbells, Acme, hospital grade P&S, and now a FIM. Galen Carol's web site has a bunch of testimonial statements about how good the FIMs are though. Sure hope it's not true that the... | |
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard Sherod; glad to hear that Galen Carol is carrying the FIM outlets-- I'll check his website. I've done business with him before and agree he is very pleasant to deal with.Brulee; I'ts nice to see some others have had success with the FIM outlets. I... | |
If your System can Speak "I'm a $45K 'nose in the air' audiophile system, and YOU'RE playing JERRY LEE LEWIS through my high strung private parts all the time???....Puhleeeesssee". Cheers. Craig | |
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard Ligi; we were posting at the same time-- availability is noted above-- I got mine directly from FIM. Craig | |
FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard .......should also have noted. FIM outlets are available directly from FIM at www.fimpression.com ($70.) or www.eaudionet.com (an A'Gon dealer) for $60. Also, I'm in no way affiliated with FIM.My only FIM outlet was put into a dedicated AC system ... | |
Using a hidden reserve price in auctions. Hi Steve; I've done several eBay auctions and have usually used a "hidden" reserve-- eBay explains the benefit (reasons) for using it: paraphrasing, a lower minimum bid (than reserve) will attract more bidders, but may not be the minimum price a s... | |

The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them Thanks '61. I think I can cobble together some verbiage to lobbby Oregon legislators. I too would hate to lose the right(s) to use "paid for" digital music to make GOOD sounding copies, and especially compilations, for my own use. And I'll check o... | |
NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700?? Hi David; just an observation regarding soundstage differences: if the Krell inherently projects a laid back soundstage, the distance the speakers are from the wall behind becomes very important. OTOH, if the NADs natural soundstage is more forwar... | |
The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them '61; I've been thinking about this all day. Do you, CFB or others who have a good grasp of the issue-- which as far as I know is proposed "watermarking" of all new digital music so that it can't be copied or manipulated in any way-- have some sugg... | |
How many levels are there? Bishop; as I've made upgrades to my stereo system over the last ten years, I give each new "level" reached a numerical designation, eg I started with "Stereo Rig #1" (SR#1) which was a $250. boombox (each upgrade had to be "significant"). Now, 10 ... | |
MUSIC THAT CHANGED YOUR LIFE Ben; nothing to compare to your story, but music didn't mean much to me until Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Rick Nelson, The Everly Brothers, Gene Vincent, Carl Perkins and many others invented ROCK and ROLL (of... | |
Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 .......any "negotiating" of what is included in a genre has to be done with the Horned Bugger. IMO, Alison Krauss is one of those artists who successfully performs in Blue grass, C/W, Folk, and probably Pop too. Best of Luck. Craig | |
Please explain what balanced out puts are. ........I'd just add to Jfrech's comments that XLR is the type of connector that balanced outputs/inputs uses. RCA connectors (the most common kind) are the kind "single ended" outputs/inputs use. The XLR inputs you see on your amp would be inputs... |
