| Building Speaker Cables just a note: The actual amount of silver in electronics solder varies, with common lead-free alloys like Sn96.5/Ag3.5/Cu0.5 containing about 3.5% silver, while older tin-lead alloys, like 62/36/2, contain approximately 2% silver. Is that enou... | |
| Case in point: a $90,000 power cord by ASUNZ As for if its worth it to someone that’s up to them. But I agree this item has zero engineering backing to justify this type of price. There is not $90,000 worth of tech in a cable that can justify the price. Other then for bragging rights in a co... | |
| Old Vs New ..... Transport and dac. My thoughts are also the newer DAC will sound better and if its a nice vintage system i would look for an R2R DAC. Also to consider can you get replacement for that CD transport, specifically the drive and optical parts. I do not know what that c... | |
| Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room +Audio Note AN-J , maybe even the Herasy's but the Audionote speakers are made for this type of set up. The wall/corner position is what they are designed for. more musical then the Herasy by a long shot. | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down Hbarrel. I was thinking the exact same thing. | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers "Indeed, the Cayin A100T has 8 and 4 Ohm taps, and I’m sure it can drive 86 dB speakers, however, since I couldn’t find information regarding its 4 Ohm output," Tube amps do not increase power at lower impedances like SS amps do. The output tr... | |
| Jay’s Audio Lab is shutting down He said in the video he's moving his family to another state and will have a much larger place to listen in, in two different rooms. He also said he will continue to focus on the upper levels of gear in Jays Audio lab 2. More to come he said. S... | |
| Will these subwoofer be enough ? “601 mono blocks with new Klipshorns mk6" wow talk about over kill. you may not be getting the bass you expect due to never getting that amp out of idle. Regardless, after years of trying to find a sub for LaScala’s I would recommend a serv... | |
| SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp In vintage SS amps I find the ones that use capacitor couple output stages sound more tube like then the later SS designs. | |
| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers your amp has 4ohm taps so just hook it up to those and you should be fine at low to moderate levels. | |
| Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp You’re not changing anything electrically in the amp itself. Chances are there is a motorized version of the volume pot that’s in there now. You would just add a little board with an outboard wall wort power supply to run it. This could all be ex... | |
| Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp Do you know of someone that’s a DYI’r, or yourself. You could buy a motorized volume pot and the kit to go with it and add it to the amp. Not that hard. Partxpress has the pots and kits. | |
| Thorens 160MKII BC Grace 707 + F9???? The 707 is a rather light weight arm and needs a hi compliance cart, not overly available anymore. If you have a lightweight cart already (hi compliance) then it should be fine if not I’d look elsewhere. Most modern carts are medium/lowish complia... | |
| Cable Enthusiasts. When it comes to cables it’s about quality and matching. THOUGHTS? I think many of you forget or don’t know cables are part of the circuit and depending on the resistance, capacitance and inductance of the cable that circuit is affected. EMI is just a very small part of it. I know of amps that have zero protectio... | |
| Do I need a MC cartridge now? Or an attenuator? not sure why your stuck on using a MoFi MC , there are so many MC carts out there to pick from. many are going to be much better sounding as well. |
