| Speaker noise after tube amp shut down Got a spare set of tubes? How old are the tubes? When was the last time you replaced them? After swapping the cables, I would try changing all the tubes just to see whether the issue is caused by the tubes or not.FrankC | |
| Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion. I took a closer look at the mio tiles. And I have some ideas of how to improve it:1/ it's not paper thin. From the spec, it looks like it has the thickness of a paperboard. Someone mentioned about depth. But if you look at the RPG skyline, they ar... | |
| Sennheiser HD600 Agree with Mulveling's comparison and assessment on HD600 vs. HD650. I may also add that the HD650 is harmonically richer, and more body to the sound. The HD600 is more neutral. I prefer the HD600 listening to analog front end, and HD650 with digi... | |

| Pass labs X350.5 jumpers and Power cables You can make those jumper pins yourself. Just grab some solid-core copper cables and cut a piece, strip any outer jacket, and bend it into an "U" shape. When my house was under remodel, I found tons of 12 gauge ground wires that my contractor was ... |
