| 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... | |
| Best Blues Rock recommendations? Check out either of Melvin Taylor's releases on Evidence Records, Melvin Taylor & the Slack Band (straight power trio) or his most recent, "Bang that Bell". Possibly the best guitarist around today, with unbelievable technique but not just for... | |
| Salsa and high energy latin jazz album suggestions Try "Jam Miami-A Celebration of Latin Jazz" on Concord (CD 4899-2). Recorded live in Miami in 2000 with a huge band featuring, among others, Arturo Sandoval, Chick Corea, Poncho Sanchez, & Pete Escovedo. | |
| Will this FIM 880 open up & let some detail in? Here's my take on things. I should state that I have no experience with the FIM or the Acme, but in the past year and a half I have experimented with about 5 or 6 sub $20 receptacles, with it being pretty apparent to me that there are some pretty ... | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? With respect to Audioslug and Dopogue's posts above, I've also taken their postion (controversial as it may be) in previous threads here going back about a year and a half or so. In that time period, I've been using an RCA 5223P DVD player (a full... | |
| DVD player better than MSB? If you're interested in DAC's you might want to investigate the ART DIO (sic?) or the Channel Islands DAC. They seem to be the budget dacs du jour. | |
| Van Den Hul power cords Haven't heard them, but Mainstream BS? I think the marketing department fell down a bit on this one. |
