| cable connector cleaner/contact enhancer bcowen, I agree with you on the rubbing alcohol. I mentioned "rubbing" alcohol previously but yes I too look or isopropyl or a high purity alcohol. Everclear is a pretty good choice :)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everclear_(alcohol) | |
| Equipment Rack agear, now that I've stopped laughing and can finally sit in front of a keyboard and type, I'd be remiss if I didn't indicate that I'm glad I'm not a big boy! :) | |
| cable connector cleaner/contact enhancer I have found that the following in some capacity achieves "cleaning". (1) I use bare speaker wire. Perhaps once a year or so I will clip off the ends and create newly unshielded ends.(2) in the case of rca or xlr, simply unplug and replug the conn... | |
| High-Resolution Audio: You Can Hear Me Now Uh, not so fast....Note the operative word in the article. The answer APPEARS to be yes... the article further states that while it defines high res as greater than CD, it does not define what low resolution means. And even then, only 60% of the t... | |
| Cable Controversy From a purely scientific perspective cables are primarily and overwhelmingly a function of their resistance. Can the type of conductive material, insulation material, capacitance, the rest of teh audio gear and some other variables effect the over... | |
| help a Die hard ANALOG guy choose a budget CDP If you r interested in redbook cd playback only and want extremely high value (i.e. low cost, high quality) look toward the Emotiva ERC-3. It can be had new for under 500. Otherwise go Oppo 105 | |
| Subwoofers.... one 10" or two 8"? I think whatever you decide you want to go with one sub, not two. Here is one to consider: http://goldenear.com/products/supersub-series?gktab=1 | |
| Corner Placement Very recently have placed my Golden Ear Triton Ones in the corners, spaced along the narrow wall (room is 12 feet by 25 feet, and the speakers are approx 9.5 feet apart) and am very happy with the results thus far. I was expecting some bass emphas... | |
| Cable Controversy devilboy, your statement is well articulated and very likely completely true; not only where cables and equipment are concerned, but in source material as well. The same lack of double blind testing has been indicated in cases where different digi... | |
| What makes an amp sound more direct ? I’m not sure what "direct" sounding means.... I have a Musical Fidelity M6si. I previously looked for information on the manufacturers site as to its design type and couldn’t seem to find the data. At one point I asked the dealer who replied "Clas... | |
| Atmasphere amps trustable? atmasphere, I found this article interesting. I do not claim to understand much of it, but appreciate and like what I do read/understand. It speaks even more specifically to your specific implementation of Circlotrons. There is even a blurb about ... | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Here is something I found interesting which in all likelihood would be well received info for customers and potential customers of this product. While I was doing some reading - completely unrelated to cables - about the Synergistic Research Black... | |
| Which integrated amp would you pick? melbguy1, only one potential problem with your recommendation as compared to the MF M6si. It's four times the MSRP. So instead of spending $3,000 by all means have it your way and spend $12,000. :) | |
| McIntosh On a different note (no pun intended), deceased now for 25 some odd years is an old friend of mine - Eddie Layton. He was the organist for the NY Yankees and a musician in his own right. His audio equipment consisted of nothing but McIntosh - and ... | |
| McIntosh When I purchased my Musical Fidelity M6si this past December I auditioned it along with Krell Vanguard and the McIntosh MA6700. While I liked that the MA6700 has more inputs, I honestly wouldn't make use of all of them and found the inputs on the ... |
