| Scott Nixon Tubedac = WOW Jult52, I have the 3xac power supply and I think it's more than adequate. It's not a wall wart, but it's own toroid in a matching ABS case. I suspect he 4xac is similar, but with higher current.You've given me an idea though...since I already have... | |
| Audio and the "jet set" - please help Since you'll be stationary for 2-3 years at a time, I would suggest you bring your stereo along. You'll be glad you did.Here's what I do. I bought some bookshelf speakers and integrated amp in NYC. The amp is 120V as is the player.I lived in Cypru... | |
| What time do you wear? TAG only for me. My first Tag was given to me by my wife. It's an Aquaracer, stainless with white face.Since then I've picked up a Grand Carrera Calibre 6, white face, brown strap. Also more recently, a Carrera Calibre 16, black on black leather s... | |
| Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD Hi Mclsound, the DVD Standard, to me, is a great sounding unit. From all my research, not many DVD Standard units required repair. I live overseas and having it shipped may have contributed to the laser being out of whack.Aside from having Krell u... | |
| Krell SACD, DVD Standard, Showcase, KAV 280CD Hi Jussy1254, this thread is a little old, but to be honest, I ended up sending the DVD Standard in for repair as well.Turns out the DVD laser needed adjustment or something. It would play CD's just fine. They replaced the DVD ROM for free since I... | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil same as ????? I thought about moving to the Heimdall's and even upgrading my Red Dawn SC to Heimdall's as well. I've searched the classifieds and found a 7M pair for sale. I need it longer than 1M, but 7M is WAY too much cable. I'll have a look over at the cabl... | |
| Nordost Quattro Fil same as ????? Keep in mind, I very much like the Nordost "house sound" or lack of so I'm really looking to stay with Nordost.Just need to find a comparable IC that matches what the Quatto Fil brings to the table.Depending on my set up, the Quattro Fils have bee... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Thanks for the recommendations. I think that at the moment, a move up the Nordost line would be best. I'm in the middle of a move, going to be about a month before I set my system up again.Heimdall or Frey is what I have in mind. | |
| Cable Elevators - What do you use? On youtube, Cardas has a few videos on everything from shielding to construction to forged spades.Anyway, I found the video on "Current thru a cable" very interesting. If a lantern battery can cause those two wires to vibrate, then imagine what AC... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Xti16, would you say the difference between the heimdall's and frey's is worth the few extra hundred? Even with heimdall's, I'm quickly approaching the price of my integrated amp on cables alone. I'm from the school of thought that there is a bigg... | |
| Apple TV vs. Apple Mini When researching ATV audio playback, I found a website out of Hong Kong called Odyssey Audio, I think, that created a small USB dongle filter for the ATV.Basically, the USB power is shared internally with the toslink transmitter in the ATV. The Do... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? The more I think about it, the more I would rather stick with Nordost as I don't want to significantly change the sound of my system. I'll have a look at Heimdalls and SPM. I'm using QuattroFil XLR between the DAC1 and 400xi, so I think my interco... | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? Funny you mention the Heimdall's because I'd been looking at those as well. I may just move up. I think if I get 3 meter cables, with more slack, the wiring would be more manageable.Jmcgrogan2, I'll have a look at Stealth as well. | |
| Stereophile Class Recommendations for Cambridge Think of it like school grades. The 740 might have "scored" and 89 and the 650 an 80. Both "B's," but one still better than the other. |
