| Holy SnickerDoodles Read This This might be of interest:http://www.audioexcellenceaz.com/worldpower.htm As John suggested, a comparison of this to the Wattgate would be interesting. I have not used the PS Audio, but it is a Hubbell 8300 (which I have used) with extra nickel pl... | |
| Holy SnickerDoodles Read This John: I have not used the Jena Labs, but do use exactly the same receptacle that is sold by Alan Kafton at Audio Excellence for $55 (about half the price of the Jena). I shouldn't say exactly, because Audio Excellence apparently subjects the recep... | |
| Hifi or Vinyl in London, Ontario Where is "Image Audio" in London, Ontario? | |
| Busted Phillips Screws Sears has been advertising the "Screw Out" (no kidding!) with Bob Villa up here in Canada on TV-seems like just the job for it! | |
| Hifi or Vinyl in London, Ontario The two best shops for equipment are London Audio on York St. and Target Hi-Fi on Dundas. Everything else is a waste of time. Very little vinyl in the city, but you might try the Village Idiot on Wortley Rd (think it's at the corner of Wortley and... | |
| Power cords for Pioneer Elite DV-C36 Harmonic Technology sells an adapter for about $45 so that you can use any aftermarket cable with a regular iec female connector. Have been using it for a couple of years with excellent results. Other alternative, as stated above, is to install a ... | |
| "Floating ground" and Electraglide Fat Man p. c.? A fairly knowledgeable poster at audioasylum responded recently there to this same thread over there that this cord comes standard with no ground and that grounded cords are made only on request. FWIW, many of the cords that I've used have sounded... | |
| High performance electric outlets My experience with outlets over the past year and a half or so leads me to believe that there is literally a truckload of misinformation or disinformation on receptacles out there. I have tried a number of outlets from various manufacturers, and t... | |

| Any experiences with Eichmann Express Bullet Plugs I also use the Bullet Plugs with 47 Labs OTA. I had a dealer terminate them for me as I have no experience soldering. Before the Bullet Plugs, I had the OTA terminated with a fairly cheap Ultralink RCA (about half the cost of the Bullet Plugs) to ... | |
| Do HDCDs sound terrible on non HDCD players? I used to have and HDCD capapable player but replaced it with one without the chip. I would agree, generally with ncarv's statement above. Most of the HDCD's that I have I would describe as being fairly well recorded. That being said, I could not ... | |
| When is the golden age of high-end audio? You only live in one "age". The golden age is now, my friend, so make the best of now. This is not a message of hedonism, simply a suggestion to make the best of what you can. As an analogue fan who has to make the best of digital, I'd rather embr... | |
| Please explain Mulholland drive? I like a lot of David Lynch's stuff, and enjoyed the film until the last 20 minutes (after Betty wakes up as Diane-hope I have the 2nd name right). As to the clues in the DVD (I watched it on DVD with my wife), either I'm totally stupid or they do... | |
| Michell owners' help wanted Power supply or... I have an older Gyro that derives a huge benefit from my Inouye Line Conditioner, which was in the early days of Inouye & before Michells upgraded supply, very heavily promoted with respect to use with the Gyro. Without forking out $700 for th... | |
| Outlet shoot out Sean: The 8300/8200's I use are not isolated ground, but the Hubbell website shows those models also available in isolated ground, with no nickel plating on the contacts (contact area is smaller, so I'm just assuming the extra contact area is the ... |
