| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 I have a original Hydra and a Hydra 2, and the only hissing I get is from my Powersnakes. :-)Seriously, mine are dead quiet. It sounds like there is a problem with your Hydra 2.John | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? I don't think the Helix will sound different at all. I believe it's just a marketing thing. If you read the literature about the previous Alpha/Vx series, they stated that Shunyata used a Helix winding pattern in their cables/cords. So I think it'... | |
| New Helix PowerSnakes Cable From Shunyata ? I would wait, the price you were about to pay for the Red Python Vx will probably drop in the next couple months.I did notice this on their website, and they did a pretty bad job on the site, if I do say so myself. If you click on the Anaconda Hel... | |

| B.B. King "I'm still a dumb city boy, but sometimes I listen to other music."Like Menudo and The Spice Girls?BB King is incredible! He puts many younger performers to shame. | |
| whats the biggest mistake you made? Yeah, my mistake was selling a BAT VK-31SE. I ran through 6 preamps from Mark Levinson, Krell, VAC, CJ, Threshold, etc, 'til I realized that I'd made a mistake. I did recover after time, and the story ends happily, because now I have a BAT VK-51SE... | |
| Which speaker for classical and jazz listening? Given those two choices, I would go towards the Silverline Sonata III's. I find the Focus more dynamic, but the Silverline's are smoother and image better.Cheers,John | |
| popping from speakers? First of all, is your amp or preamp tubed? If so, change the tubes around until you discover which tube is causing the problem.If no tubes, is there any new component in your system?It may be causing a ground loop hum. Try floating the ground on v... | |

| Looking for a romantic sounding monitor Vienna Acoustics Haydn's. | |
| cause, solution, ideas please... Make sure the recordings were not digitally mastered. I've found that LP's made in the 80's and so, love the digital mastering process. It sounds horrible. A present day analog mastered CD will sound better than a digitally mastered LP, IMHO.Recor... | |
