| All Quiet on the Oppo front? I received my e-mail from OPPO on 8/27. Not planning to purchase but I thought I would get in the system. I believe the purchase window closed on 8/30. | |
| Timbernation Rack - Very Pleased I also have a custom TimberNation Rack. For the money it can't be beat. I would give it an A- for finish. There are a couple of minor finish flaws that prevent it from being perfect but they are minor. | |
| Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money I am currently using a twisted pair Duelund 12 ga. for my speaker cable with Kle banana plugs. Was using them without connectors, but for switching components I decided to add the connectors with no sound degradation. Previously, I had been usin... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? A lot of the older rock recordings are not very good. I am a huge Zepplin fan and I was always surprised by the poor quality of their recordings. A lot of it is due to the compression of the dynamics which sucks the life out of recordings. Even... | |
| Dahlquist DQ10 I owned the DQ-10's back in the day. I would be concerned with the amount of power you have. I had a Macintosh amp that put out 200 to 250 watts per side and I could have used more power / current. | |
| KLE Innovations Silver HarmonyRCA's - not silver eh? I installed a set on my Duelund 12 ga. speaker wire. They were easy to solder. One connector seemed a little loose in my speaker connection so I used a 9/64" drill bit (shank end) to expand the banana opening. Worked like a champ. | |
| What has your audiophile experience taught you about yourself? 1) I have listened to very expensive systems up to $1,000,000. I have found that you can spend a very modest amount of money and get really enjoyable system.2) Always let your wife have the last big purchase. | |
| CD Player Won't Read One CD Only I would recommend cleaning the disc and trying it again. | |
| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing I tried spikes to herbies gliders over a carpeted suspended wood floors. I liked the sound spiked directly to the floor. | |
| Spike feet protectors I tried spiking my speakers to Herbie's gliders (carpet over plywood second floor). I liked the SQ of spiking directly to the floor rather than the gliders. You have to try it to find out. | |
| "Super Rectifier" Another choice would be the Sophia Agua 274B. Some have found this to be the "best" tube in the Modwright power supply. I may try this one myself. | |
| SACD/CD player update jafant,I owned the Sony 999ES and the 5400ES. The 5400ES was better than the 999ES. | |
| SACD/CD player update I do enjoy Dan's modifications on the various players. I am on my third one, the Marantz 8005. If you are concerned about the resale, find a used one or better yet a show demo. If you go that route you can save a bunch and not suffer as much on... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems I received a custom rack from Timbernation and also had a prior purchase of a turntable platform. The good: 1) Very competitive pricing when compared to others, some were 2x or 3x the price. 2) Easy to assemble and provides a solid surface. Th... | |
| Are Avalon still in Bussines I used to own Avalon speakers and had the same experience with their customer service or lack of. It take phone calls and e-mail to finally get through. Not very good. |
