BMI power cord with Musical Fidelity KW 500amp
Thanks Sean. Do you mean that the vinly coating over the cable will break down after prolong contact with the sand? What if I add another layer of "protective" coating over the cable? Maybe something like those clear vinyl hose/tubing you find at ... 
BMI power cord with Musical Fidelity KW 500amp
Unsound,Guess I got lucky this time. ;-) As for the VH Flavor 4, what I intend to do is to encase the body of the powercord insid a 5/8" diameter vinyl/rubber (?) tubing I got from Orchard Supply, Fill the tubing with sand, and seal the tubing wit... 
BMI power cord with Musical Fidelity KW 500amp
BMI didn't go out of business. If I remember correctly, a few years ago, BMI decided to distribute all their products through a distributor. Somewhere along the line, they ended up only distribute to the Asian market. I had followed BMI products e... 
Anybody bi-amping Hyperion 938s?
I heard the 968s at HE2006 in June. Now they are one of my top three replacement choices that I want to audition further. If I do ended up using the 968s, I am planning on trying biamping out using the Pass Aleph Os and Pass 350.5. (Just because I... 
Good match preamp for Pass labs 250.5
I've just bought the X350.5. Am waiting for it to show up at my door any day now. Another friend also has the X350.5 and paired it with both an ARC Ref 2 Mk I and a Pass X0.2. We were over there the other day trying to help him decide which preamp... 
Anyone hear Dk Design VS1 Mk. 2 with Hyperion 938?
Regarding Hyperion speakers, are you all dealing with a dealer or directly with the manufacturer? I heard the 968s at HE2006 back in June and was quite impressed. I wanted to audition them more before I decide whether they are the ones for me. The... 
Thiel CS3.6 and Aerial 10T Comparison
I'm in somewhat of the same boat. I had owned the Thiel 2.2 for 5 years, and upgraded to the 3.6 about 8 years ago. I've been pretty happy with the 3.6. I've toyed with the idea of changing the speakers to something else for the past two years. On... 
Pass Labs Aleph Question
I've owned the Aleph Os (the stereo version of the mono block) for years. It was driving my Thiel 2.2 for a while. When I upgraded to the Thiel 3.6, the Aleph Os was not powerful enough. But I kept it because it was just a very sweet sounding amp....

Favorite 6922 for ARC preamps.
It's very system depedent, but I would vote for Amperex 7308 white label. I recently purchased a ARC LS-25 Mk I with reference level mod from GNSC (Great Northern Sound Company). GNSC had recommended to the previous owner a quad of Siemens 6922s, ... 
Usher speakers/prices?
Usher is a Taiwanese company. They are well known for their cones/woofers which tons of speaker manufacturers use. They had hired this guy named D'Apolito who is supposed to be well known in the Audio industry to design speakers for them. If you g... 
Has anyone had a Shelter 501 retipped?
If you really, really have to do it. Try this place: Expert Stylus (UK) retipping service +441372276604. They don't have a website or e-mail. I got this information from either here or on Vinyl Asylum." [They] will put a new aluminum cantilever an... 
Amati homage with NO334
I've also heard that Amati and ML 3xx series amp don't work too well. My friend is driving his with a BAT VK-75 and it sounds great! (Make me want to buy a pair of these) I'm currently running Thiel 3.6 + ML 333. He has been looking for an SS amp ... 
Bang and Olufsen
B&O stuff is architect's delight. Many architects spec them for their clients, but purely for the looks. It's almost like "standard issue" for hi-end residential design, especially in Asia where space is a premium. And most of the clients care...
