Iron Lung Jellyfish availability?
From reviewing the Iron Lung Jellyfish the cord looks like the grey and purple hospital power cords that are listed on auction sites like ebay. Why not just buy those and then if you are not happy with them as is find a place to cryo treat them? I... 
I'm a tube novice: Tube substitution?
Hi Jea48Thanks for those sites. They were very good for info. I've never liked the format of Audio Asylum and was having trouble weeding through the noise. I think I may just stick with 12AT7s in my Jolida. 
I'm a tube novice: Tube substitution?
I'm trying to see if a 12AV7 tube can be used in place of a 12AT7 tube and stumbled upon this thread. I'm trying to make it through all the data in the AA but until then I'd like to put this out there.So can a 12AV7 be used in a 12AT7 in an amp? D... 
What do you feel is the best used SACD player?
For under $500 the Pioneer Elite PD D9 JI love the minimalist look, build quality and it also sounded great in my systems.For under $100 if you can find it the Sony SCD-CE595 5-Disc CD/Super Audio CD Player. 
Correct way to burn in a new CD/SACD player
When I got my first CD/SACD player I was so paranoid about breaking it in properly that I did the first 24/7 with various CDs. The next week I played a SACD for 24/7. Sad but true. I had the player connected to my preamp with it turned off. Enjoy ... 
what would you do?
Checks should have been done as soon as the amp was received. I don't think your friend has a leg to stand on since it has been over 1 year. Some high volume dealers may mix stuff up but most of the time if they deal in high volume they have good ...

Is it too much to ask....
I normally don't put in full amp specs because it can clutter up an ad. If data about the amp can be easily found via a search engine I'll leave out the specs. Most prospective buyers will research the amp anyway.One time I got burned with the amp... 
Amp, On A Budget?
How about the Emotiva UPA-2 amp? You can get it new for about $300 with a 5 year warranty. If you are not happy with the amp you can send it back to them.I have their UPA-7 amp and am happy with it. 
Kill-A-Watt...any one use one?
Hi Kill-A-Watt ownersDo you find it reads voltage from the socket accurately? The reason I ask is that I've lost my digital multimeter and only have the Kill-A-Watt to use to check the voltage from the outlets that I plug my system into.Originally... 
Schitt Bifrost or Jolida FX tube dac?
Hi LeoAre you going to be getting the newer Jolida Glass FX Tube 2 or the old version? I believe the newer version has 24/192 via USB while the older version has 24/96 over USB. I think there are more differences but I'm waiting for confirmation f... 
Do headphones requiere break-in?
Hi DmacgThanks for sharing again. Wow info straight from John Grado. Very cool. I don't think I would have the gumption to ask him why there should be a 4-6 hour rest between break-in either. 
A clue for the clueless
Jax and Dick got it right. Sometimes I'm amazed at some listings where they use someone else's pictures or stock pictures. Also too how some sellers just use 1 picture or none at all is amazing to me. Pretty much every phone has a camera today tha... 
Do headphones requiere break-in?
Hi DmacgI'm curious. Why the pause every 4-6 hours on headphone break-in? Also does the volume matter? The reason I ask is that during the off hours when I'm not listening I play white noise at a pretty high level on my headphones to break them in...

Hi DefrideThanks again for the help. I'm trying to figure out the best place to start with the Anti-Cables other than speaker wires. I've made note of your findings and will give them a shot.
