| Power Conditioner for your amplifier? The right conditioner will give you fuller body, a silky sheen and more bounce, but don't pay more than 5.95. | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? Even though live music recorded directly to a hi rez format sounds better, the fun still lies in getting the most out of the redbook standard. There's a lot more potential there than many have ever heard, because you have to spend some money on th... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords Ok, the anti-xx stuff has reviewed well, so they are better than coat hangers......... | |
| GNSC matinence Along with McIntosh and Audio Research, Wadia is now part of the Fine Sounds Group. For Wadia service, call Audio Research in MN for further direction. They may be a service center for Wadia now. GNSC was also located here in the Twin Cities area.... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords Cal3713, if you are just beginning on the tangled, slippery path of audio cables, tread carefully. You are right to spend less at first--until you settle on a viewpoint, a belief about the importance of all of your cables. If you decide they are i... | |
| Why do my ears ring with my new amplifier? Listen at lower volumes for two days. If your ears don't ring, then you have been playing it too loud, like being at a rock concert or any loud venue and coming out with ringing. This is part of incurring noise-induced hearing loss, by the way. Ti... | |
| Ching Cheng Power Cords The article by Blue Jean Cables, featured on Audiohilics, is a good example of persuasive marketing that serves their interests. Blue Jeans--not fancy but comfortable and affordable--as the name implies, Blue Jeans Cable appeals to the buyer who w... | |
| For Your Amusement, or Dismay... Agree with the author--it really comes down to the whole experience one wants--if it's the nostalgia, the album art, collecting albums, the phono set-up, the flipping of the record, the work it took to get it all right, then records have all of th... | |
| Is revealing always good? Rob, regarding tube equivalents for your 6CG7's, just call one of the many on-line tube stores. I had the convenience of going to my high-end retailer, who gave me a set of Sovtek tubes, supplied by ARC for retail replacements in their gear. In th... | |
| Is revealing always good? Robsker, if you are using the stock tubes supplied by AVA, try replacing them with something else, e.g., tubes recommended by ARC and sold by your high-end dealer who may represent ARC products. i did this with two older AVA fet valve amps, and th... | |
| Power Cords Rule Michelzay, I made these cables from all Furutech materials, using their Alpha OCC 11 AWG AC cable, which I then dissected to remove the three conductors so I could use five conductors per cable. This is not necessary to build a very good DIY cable... | |
| Power Cords Rule Jam, see my power cable report of 12/14 in this forum--just one example of making the materials work, but you can use any high-quality DIY AC cable and plugs with screw/clamp terminations--eg, Furutech. Basic tools--vices help--love the Klein Cata... | |
| Advice for Newbie Hi Nick, Not sure why the lack of response to your needs, at least on tech talk. Perhaps the PC forum crowd would be more familiar with your server and format. It seems a lot of us are old school, stand-alone-system listeners. Therefore, the whole... | |
| Sub woofer power cable? You have already upgraded the line-level signal cables for your RELs? | |
| Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable? Thanks for posting page 10. It seems to lean toward "...a newly derived system ground." At any rate, I am very pleased with this product, and yes, the 1200C is plugged into the RM PRO. This is what Richard Gray calls their IsoGray configuration, w... |
