| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. I have been told many times by folks more knowledgeable than I that the best sound is from finger tight connection and using more will degrade the sound. I cannot comprehend why that would be, but there is a long long list of stuff in that cate... | |
| How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components? 50% amp, 25% cabling, 20% electronics, 5% speakers. That's pretty radical. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. . . . and if you think of it, give us a follow up on how you feel about those Psvane CV181-T MKII (6SN7)s in 1 through 5 after you've had them in for a bit. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. Yes: 3 and 6 are for your left and right balanced input buffer and 7 and 8 are for your left and right headphone amplifier. | |
| Lu’s Jukebox Saw her a couple weeks ago The last time I saw her was the summer of '03 at TLA in Philthy. | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. They're heavy brass, not good. That link was onlty to illustrate what my binding posts look like. I don't know what B&W actually used. | |
| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. I do not have the Golden ear but I do have a SLP05. If you are using RCAs and NOT using your balanced inputs, you will get absolutely nothing by replacing the two balanced input tubes. As a matter of fact, the reviewer who reviewed the SLP05 for S... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. @coppy777 , here is a picture of kind of what mine look like. I did the search for that AQ wrench you mentioned because I was thinking that maybe it was machined to match those (what I am referring to as) knurls that B&W used on my binding p... | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. Vice-grips on your binding posts? Really? Must do wonders for resale. AudioQuest makes a great hand wrench that fits both terminal sizes. @coppy777 , I just did a quick google on those and found a picture on AA. Unfortunately, my B&W b... | |
| Interconnects Ah the flat earthers once again rear their ugly head where they’re clearly not needed or wanted. @soix , I believe it is the equivalent of a holy mission. | |
| Kids, Dogs, and Speakers @wqgq_641 , I am always doing quick googles when people list what speaker they are listening to. (With the operative word being 'quick.') Those A4s are interesting . . . kind of like a two-way (excuse the term) "bookshelf" with a cabinet built on... | |
| How does bi-wiring work? I'll take Paul McGowan's word for it. Biwiring is a waste. Who is this man they call Paul McGowan? Is he a myth, or does he truly exist? | |
| Bananas rule, spades drool. End of discussion. I checked my spades (2 spades on the amp end in combination with 2 bananas and 4 spades on the speaker end) tonight, and they were tight. It's been at least two or three years since I messed with them at either (amp or speaker) end. | |
| How does bi-wiring work? Gentlemen, Is the discussion + - to + - or + to ++ and - to --? Two normal speaker cables can be connected either way. Did I mis something? Was that ever the question? | |
| Finally upgrading my amp I would buy a dog if you don't mind walking him every night. No need to buy one, @emergingsoul , the shelters are full of good dogs (and cats) available for a small adoption fee. |
