| Snake oil and tweaks that work! Thanks for the info Jcbtubes. Have been using it for about 8 months now with no detrimental effects, just positive ones. I use only small amounts on power contacts (plugs and iec's) and it's worked for me so far. But I'll keep my ears open. From y... | |
| New belt for Michell Gyro SE? Heard about this also but have not investigated. Artech Electronics distributes Michell. You could e-mail them; they've responded quickly in the past to any inquiries I had. | |
| Snake oil and tweaks that work! Go to your local auto parts store and buy silicone dielectric tune-up grease. Put a small amount on all power connections (not signal carrying connections!), prongs, male-female iec connections and plug back in. Presto-smoother, more natural sound... | |
| Best CD player for $700.00 I will totally agree with sdcampbell, and this may really garner the ire of some. I owned my RCA 5223P DVD player (currently available as last years model for $179 online) for 8 months before really comparing it to my Arcam Alpha 8SE CD player (li... | |
| You got to show me something more! Coltrane: Perhaps you could enlighten us with your opinions on rap. | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Coltrane: You have now become the mind reader you recently accused Dekay of being. My agreement with the "live and let live" posts refers to people listening to what they want because they enjoy it. I happen to listen to mainly blues and some jazz... | |

| You got to show me something more! Originally posted this in the JAZZ on PBS thread, but this is where the action seems to be-I'll just paste the post in here: I'm a little late to the party here and in "you got to show me" thread but would agree with many of the "live and let live... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! I'm a little late to the party here and in "you got to show me" thread but would agree with many of the "live and let live" posts. I think, however, Coltrane, that you're engaging in some serious historic revisionism when you state above that rock... | |
| the best CD player under $1k? I would think twice about spending $1000 for a CD player based on my recent experience. IMO, you should investigate some of the budget DVD players I'd probably look at the Pioneer DV-333) with the view to doing some very inexpensive tweaks relatin... | |
| Looking to build power cords. The Audioasylum recipe uses Belden 19364, which you may find difficult to find in smaller quantities (say less than 100 feet). A division of Belden (Volex) makes a pre-terminated cord, the Volex 17604 (search for Volex on line-easy to find them an... | |
| diy power cord: Shinyata black mamba That would be a pretty expensive DIY project. | |
| Smart Analytical Geek Required I may be wrong, but I don't think so. On a 16x9 widescreen, letterboxed movies shot in a 1:85:1 aspect ratio WILL fill the entire screen while those shot in 2:35:1 WILL NOT. On 2:35:1 movies, even with a widescreen you will still have the black ba... | |
| help with power cord Do an on line search for Volex and buy a Volex 17604 cord (14 guage, shielded) for about $10. Then buy a Hubell 5266 male end for about $7 or $8 and a good quality iec. (I used a Bulgin-cost $5 in Canada) but Schurter is another one with a lot of ... | |
| Pioneer DV 05 Mods and Tweaks Rick: Forgot to mention in my first post, my player also responded very well to isolation-I use vibrapods and sandbag the top of the player-there are more sophisticated (and expensive) alternatives, but this type of isolation works well for me. I ... |
