| tube rolling for different music genres I switch out the driver tubes in my amps sometimes. If I'm craving leaner more powerful bass it's EH,normally it's GoldLion.That's one of the great things about tubed components,you can tweak them do give different presentations.I refuse to admit ... | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? I used the Goretz with two different ss amps with no problems,but apparently more research would be required on compatibility.Just what you need!It is indeed frustrating finding affordable cables. | |
| Your first amp? A 15 watt Pioneer receiver(1974?)with a Technics turntable and no name speakers.Loved it! | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? Sunny, if you want to try copper ribbons check out the Goertz M1 cables.I had some in previous system and really liked them.They had a natural,organic sound to them.I ordered both copper and silver and sent the silver back for a prompt refund.I wa... | |
| Budget cable chaos??? Is River Cable the new star? I auditioned the Flex 8.I think they were 14 ft.long.They sounded absolutely dead in my system.Slow somehow,no dynamics.I had 150 watt ss amps at the time and hoped that the heavy gage copper would work well in a long run but it definitely did not... | |
| Blindly deafly? bought Purple Flare cables... After you decide which cables to go with,just relax and enjoy for a few months.That cable loom becomes your reference.If you think you can do better,you can experiment with one cable at a time and tweak little by little.It takes time to get things... | |
| Oldest piece of gear you own Telefunken Allegro table top stereo receiver w/phono stage 1950 something. | |

| Noise when turning the volumen on bottlehead My Rogue preamp did the same thing.The folks at Rogue suggested cleaning the volume control also.I used a lens cloth,the disposable type glasses cleaning cloth.I folded it out flat,slipped it between the faceplate and volume knob until it touched ... | |
| differense between gold pcord & silver Each cable will perform differently in different systems.Audition before you buy new.If you can't try it for 30 days,buy elsewhere! | |
| Kimber kable 8tc or 12tc warm? Agree with Loftarasa.Kimber is not a warm cable.Cardas might do it for you,it's very warm.You will lose some detail though. | |
| Dedicated circuit I have two dedicated lines.It didn't make as big a difference as adding a PorterPort and PSAudio Power Port to them.But I do live in the boonies so not so much grunge on the lines. | |
| Memories........What made you catch the Audio Bug? I always loved music,we had a lowfi receiver,speakers(hidden behind furniture at Mom's insistence), and turntable on which I played albums daily.Then after seeing Jethro Tull live on the Aqualung tour I played the album at home and it sounded so t... | |
| Does it bother you? To answer the original question,we are hearing a more highly resolving version of the "moment you captured in time."And no it doesn't bother me if the recording is of poor quality if you were able to capture the emotion and magic of that moment.I ... | |
| Power Cord & Platic Cable Covers I have my subwoofer cable under a vinal cover in front of a doorway,have tried it with and without.No difference.As Al said,running two in the same cover could be detrimental. |
