Emotiva interconnect
Hello Highend64I have the Emotiva Ultra Series ICs. Sound wise they are good but grip wise they leave a lot to be desired. IME Monoprice, Monster, Belkin and BJC ICs grip jacks a lot better. My Emotiva Ultra Series ICs were purchased on closeout a... 
Lou Reed/Metallica "Lulu" just awful
I've mostly been listening to LuLu on headphones while working. Good background music. To me the "Loutallica" experiment was just awful primarily due to Lou Reed IMO. I enjoyed Metallica's guitar parts but Lou Reed's fragmented/fractured poetry so... 
Echole cables
Man what beautiful cables. I saw Fidelis AV in NH is a dealer for them and checked out Echole's site. One thing that I found was headscratching to me was that the Echole Power cables look to have Schuko IEC Connectors that I've seen on other sites... 
Rock n Roll w/Strings
Wow. I'm happy other A'gon members have good words for Apocalyptica. I was thinking I was going to get a collective meh for that contribution.Mapman made a very good call with Metallica's S&M IMO. Michael Kamen and the Sfso did a great job wit... 
Concept 2QD Turntable - Are You Experienced?
Hi Grtfl62I have the Concept 2QD TT as well and I find counterweight can slide off with some force from the tonearm. I finally got the arm set-up correctly and the 2QD sounding good so I don't want to mess with removing the counterweight now to ch... 
Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??
Man. It's damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you put one line descriptions on your ads someone will start a thread griping about it. If you use some more descriptions someone will gripe about it in a thread...For me I've put some of the ...

component break in
Pretty much no matter the component or wire I'll give it 10 straight days of it being on constantly and/or having some kind of music or signal being sent through it. Then I'll give it a critical listen. If it doesn't sound good after all that I'm ... 
Maestro AC outlet
Audiofeil's post made me smile. That was a good one. "Special reference grade screws for the face plates." Audiofeil should go further and add on what makes the screws special reference grade. Something along the lines of: The screws are made of t... 
Emotiva amplifiers review/experience?
I can't comment on Emotiva's 2 channel offerings but I do have an Emotiva UPA-7 HT amp. It definitely had more oomph overall than a Sony STR-DG1000 HT Integrated I was using. After making that change I haven't had the desire to get the Emotiva UPA...

Tubes 5963
Anyone have any thoughts they'd like to share about the 5963 tubes good or bad? The reason I ask is that I'm new to tubes and picked up a bunch of matched HP Toshiba 5963 tubes for my tube amp. I currently have some Electro Harmonic 12AU7 re-issue... 
Speaker cable vibration?
Hey THoltI got another pair of bookshelf speakers that have binding posts that are recessed into the speaker rather than the ones the stick out and I still did feel some vibration from the posts. Those speakers were connected via spades rather tha... 
First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand?
Hi everyone. Thanks for the sage advice. I've been listening to this Baldwin 6L6 tube amp for some time now with the current tube complement and I really do enjoy it. It is matching well with a pair of KEF 103/3 speakers I have. Big improvement in... 
Maestro AC outlet
Hi 50jessWhat outlets did you replace the Maestro Outlet with? What other outlets do you have experience with? I'm just curious. For me I just had old Leviton outlets that I replaced with Porter Ports in one system and in another with older PS Aud...
