Virt. Dynamics Power 2 break-in
Hi Greh. I've owned three Power 2s for about 2 months and thought they needed 2-4 weeks to truly burn in. I can understand you not wanting to play your system loud because of the inconvenience to your family. If you want to break it in as fast as ... 
Has anyone had dealings with The Camera Club.com
Dvoss, Albert is right. Amex backed me when I had a bad experience with a mail order house. They issued an immediate credit and started an investigation into the matter. The place in question denied ever receiving my return, but when I supplied Am... 
Need more bass response
Hi, Axspike. Don't be so modest, you have great gear! I recently gained bass response and impact by changing the tubes in my Blue Circle preamp and upgrading my entire cable set to Virtual Dynamics. This weekend I swapped in an NOS pair of VT-231s...

Bro, that's good news. It's always great when the barrier to enjoying your music is broken down, and even better when you know exactly what the fix is.Viggen, I tried running my biwired Audition Scs to my ProAcs with AP Silver jumpers. It worked o...

Looking good, looking good. Bluenose, I have everything hooked into a Monster HTS 2000 right now. Maybe some day down the road I may experiment with it out of the system, but so far I'm getting fantastic results with it in.Bro, let us know when an...

Ahh, very interesting ideas here. Thanks!Keeping the biwired Audition speaker cables the way they are and adding jumpers will be easy for me, because the cables use all banana termination and my jumpers are spades.Bluenose, right now I have Power ... 
Can we use TUBE PREAMP with SS AMP ?
MANY people use this combination. In fact the Blue Circle BC21 tube preamp and BC22 solid state that I'm using were designed to be a pair. Bascially, you get the smoothness of tubes with the power of SS. Have fun. 
Weirdest Question asked when selling gear?
Hey Tim. The person who asked your blood type could be Asian. In Japan that's what they ask, as opposed to the "what's your astro sign" out here. I'm of Japanese decent, but have red, white and blue running through my veins, and when I heard about... 
Best amp/pre-amp for Vienna Acoustics Haydn ?
Hi Snipes. The combo I'm using is the Blue Circle BC21/BC22. The BC21 is a tube preamp which sells for $1500 new, but can be had for about $700-950 used. The BC22 is a solid state amp which retails for $2150, but you could probably find a used one...

Hey, thanks for the tip Viggen, I would have never thought of that one. I have four separate cables running to each ProAc monitor. So does that mean I have Audition "shotgun" biwire? Did you just use one cable from each of the positive and negativ...

Hi Stbhorn. The "cryo" is a cryogenic freezing treatment that Rick can apply to any of his cords and cables if you desire. Yes, it costs more, in many cases it doubles the cost of the cable.Rick explained to me that the process brings the molecule...

Better save a seat in your boat for me Viggen, I received my cryo'd Audition Package monday but it was missing three PCs. Not to worry though, I contacted Brett and he assured me that they would build the three cords and FEDEX them to me. They sen...

I agree Bluenose, "so right" is what it's all about!! 
Other hobbies with these economics?
Guns keep their value, especially sought after ones. Custom knives and custom pool cues also appreciate in value as well. And then there are comic books. I bought some #1 issues of Vampirella and Creepy last year. Boy I wish I still had that Spide...
