| C7 - two prong Power Cord make a difference ? I just want to share some experiences with using an IEC C14 to IEC C7 Female Connector / Power Adaptor. Currently I'm using the Conntek 30203 Male Plug Adapter along with a DIY Belden 83803 power cord with Sonarquest Audio power connectors. Im us... | |
| Best Classical to "broaden" listening arena? To broaden my musical tastes I would buy good condition classical music records from the local thrift shops. It took some digging but ended up with a lot of Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Bach and other artists. The records were so inexpensive and in very g... | |
| Praise for DacMagic I'm really enjoying the DacMagic especially now with the Pangea P100 power supply. I can't solder to save my life so the $100 for the P100 Power Supply from Audioadvisor was worth it to me. | |
| First Tube Amp: Advice? Keep spare tubes on hand? Is there a priority on what spare tubes to get first or to keep around? I got a modified Baldwin amp that I believe came from an organ. It consists of the following tubes.3 12AU7 tubes 1 labeled Baldwin 2 Electro Harmonix2 Harmon Kardon 7408 tubes... | |
| Emotiva Amps and Processor for Home Theater? I think Emotiva amplification is worth it. In a smaller HT room I use an Emotiva UPA-7 amplifier along with an Outlaw Audio 990 processor for 90% HT and the occasional concert performance. The combo does a fine job. I've had no issues with the UPA... | |

| Pangea AC14 Review Hi RobbobWhat are the markings on the stock Rega DAC Power cord you used that sounded better than the Pangea AC-14? I'm just curious because I'm wondering latest Volex 17604 power cords are the ones being included with newer gear. | |
| Anyone else noticing inflation in used gear $? This is all speculation on my part.I think the listing prices rising on vintage gear or gear in general is due to sellers getting outrageous low-ball offers. They are starting their pricing a bit higher to accommodate that. E.g. I had a McCormack ... | |
| REGA VTA Question Hi PhantisWhere did you order your Rega 2-4-6-8mm VTA adjuster from? I've seen some that go for $20 to more fancy aftermarket Rega VTA adjusters that are $100-$120 plus. I believe those VTA adjusters allow you to tweak the VTA on the fly. | |
| Collecting Within One Brand Hi MartletGood to see a fellow KEF fanatic. Your post made me realize I have/had quite a bit of KEF speakers. KEF 104/2, 103/3, Q90, Q15.2 and the new Q300s. It was not my intention to collect KEF speakers old and new but I guess subconsciously I ... | |
| Integrated Amps with a Headphone Input I agree with Badwisdom. My uncle gave me his Accuphase E-202 Integrated that was babied. I did some cleaning and tested out the headphone jack for kicks with a pair of 25 Ohm BeyerDynamic DT-48e headphones and the sound was quite pleasant. I was r... | |
| What cheap dacs are there with volume controls? Sfar is right the CA Dacmagic does not have volume control so it won't fit Systembuilder's requirements. My mistake. It is a really nice sounding DAC though IMO with the Pangea P100 PS. | |
| What cheap dacs are there with volume controls? I say check out the Grant Fidelity DAC-09 or DAC-11 tube dacs. Both have volume controls. I currently use the DAC-09 with a GE tube in place of the stock one and the sound is quite pleasant.If you don't like tubes try the Cambridge Audio Dacmagic ... | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Here are my Top Snafus that I've done. I know it is common sense to you all but it wasn't for me at the times.1) Speaker placement and Room Treatments for your listening space.2) Getting caught up in the hype/reviews/marketing of a product.3) Rush... | |
| Need Opinion on Accuphase E-202 Well I couldn't resist hooking up the Accuphase E-202 to my existing system. First as and integrated then as an amp. As an Integrated I've got lots of cleaning to do. I hear a lot of scratchiness from my speakers whenever I turn the volume dial or... |
