| 0 feedback sellers Nothing personal Ryhno, but I would not allow your 'uncle' to come to my house. I do not just allow strangers into my home. I always feel a person out on the phone first if I have not met them. I have never had a problem (knock wood) dealing with ... | |
| Tube question Warren, yes, this has been beaten to death, just check the archives. It's a very common newbie question. It is what it is. FWIW, there are better stock tubes available today then 10 years ago. Also, as mrtennis mentioned, many circuit designs toda... | |
| 0 feedback sellers A couple of phone calls to test their validitity, prefferably a local sale, and/or depending on local and price of unit, a credit card through Paypal.Many times you can tell through a phone conversation whether it is indeed an audiophile you are s... | |
| Tube question The key is the demand. Back before the transistor became popular, tubes were used in many more applications than just high end audio. There was a lot more uses and demand for 6DJ8's, 12AX7's, 6SN7's etc. back in the 40's/50's/60's than there is to... | |

| why the PC change the tonal on my gears. Andrewdoan, yes, a power cord does take time to burn in, however 700 hours seems a bit excessive. From my experiences, you usually get a good idea of how a p/c will sound right out of the box. Generally, the cord's sound will change a bit over tim... | |
| Is this upgrade worth it? Well if he is truely a friend, he would let you hear it in your room w/ your gear for a couple days. Then you would know if it was an upgrade or not. His asking price certainly doesn't say friend, IMHO. Considering most used 333's are selling for ... | |
| why the PC change the tonal on my gears. I was a non-believer at first too. Now the differences power cords make amaze me. As you say, not always an improvement either. The differences I am now hearing in p/c's still has me shaking my head. From being a non-believer 5 years ago, now I th... | |
| Sistrum SP1+Pass Labs XA160 = pretty good results Yeah my days of moving large 100+ pound amps are over. I tore a bicep tendon moving around a 110+ pound BAT amp. That was it for me. My current stereo amp weighs 47 pounds, that's plenty. Maybe I'll even check out those 10 pound digital switching ... | |
| Sistrum SP1+Pass Labs XA160 = pretty good results Who was sweating, cursing and moaning, you or your wife?LOLSo what now? Do you have to give them back? Keep them and buy your friend a new pair. That's what a lazy guy like me would do. :)John | |

| Need an Entry Level Phono Preamp Av2k, Bryston does have a phono card for the BP-25 as witnessed in this ad. Since people are selling used BP-25's w/ phono, you know Bryston makes them. Give them a call. | |
| Is this upgrade worth it? I'll second Tvad's advice, he made you an offer that you CAN refuse. | |
| Upgrading Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE to ??? I think the polarity that you mention regarding the VK-51SE revolves around the 6H30 tube. Some people love it for it's dynamic's and power, certainly more dynamic than other tube designs. Others don't like it because of a sense that it sacrifices... |
