| 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 ... | |
| Outlet shoot out Sean: Yes, it is Bob Crump who has stated that nickel is "bright", and while I respect Bob very much and appreciate much of the advice he has given me over at Audioasylum, I can only state that, with respect to the receptacles I've used, the nicke... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have had very good results using the standard OTA as a power cable for my CD/DVD player. As the player is internally grounded (and obviously is not very current hungry) it was simply a matter of terminating the wire, live and neutral, with a mal... | |
| Outlet shoot out Comparing outlets is not quite as easy as it sounds. If your system is drawing from more than one receptacle, be prepared to replace every receptacle at the wall and in your line conditioner to really hear the true sound of that receptacle. I've n... | |
| Did anybody use these...? Haven't actually used those, but have felted my tweeters with what I feel to be good results. You can go to any fabric store and buy felt, cut to size with an appropriate opening and then tape to your speaker cabinet with double sided scotch tape.... | |
| Best Power Cord Mark: Just wondering if you ever did any experimenting with the OTA wire as a power cord? I've been using a DIY OTA power cord on my CD player (can't really imagine anyone using such a thing with amps as described in the OTA thread) with very good... | |
| Power cord question I use a Target stand as well. What I have done is simply loop some string or twine over the horizontal part of the frame above the cord and tie it, allowing enough room for the bottom part of the loop to fit under the iec connector of the cord. Yo... | |
| Best Power Cord Natalie: I've never really had to get over that "need" as I've never spent more than $200 on a power cord or $150 on an interconnect. But that doesn't really qualify me to make a statement that the cords I own are as good as any $1000 cable out th... | |
| Best Power Cord Natalie: Would you care to name all the up to $1000 cords you've used that have been bested by the Asylum Cord? In my experience, both the Blue Circle BC 62 and Cardas Golden (available used in the $100 to $200 range) easily outperformed the Asylu... | |
| How long do you hold an item? When the deal is struck, I e-mail or talk to the buyer and tell them the item is theirs (marking the item sale pending). I always ask them to e-mail back to say when they are going to send payment out, and then to e-mail again when they have to co... |
