| Hi end tube preamps, it’s all about functionality!! Emerging- the marketplace for people with high quality home theater systems AND high performance 2 channel stereo systems is quite small. Most in that arena have home theater Rooms and if they are really into music, also have a listening room for... | |
| Solid State Phono Preamp recommendations $3k-$4k new range Take a look at the Gold Note PH10 with the PSU 10 power supply which comes in around $2500 for both. EXCEPTIONAL phono stage- all adjustments are easily made on the front with display- multiple curves, loading, gain are easy and can be done on th... | |
| Flexible/Compliant Speaker Cables I will also recommend any of the Audience AU24 SE or SX and or Front Row ( if you dare). Exceptionally easy to work with and great balance, detail, dynamics, and soundstaging. Absolutely incredible sound with extremely easy to use, flexible cable. | |
| What's the deal with Vintage Tube Service? I have been dealing with Andy for more than 20 years. He is the absolute best in the business for vintage tubes and is a very straight-shooter as far as tubes go. He might take a week or 10 days to ship , but when you get the tubes, they are per... | |
| What makes differences in cables made in same materials? SVS and Audio Envy HI Talkskiwon- there are a LOT of factors that go into a cable other than just that it is copper. How many strands and what size are they, what is the gauge, what is the purity of the copper, what is the dielectric, what is the geometry of the wi... | |
| Looking to upgrade a new cart to my TT I agree with Chakster- the better Dyna is the way to go | |
| High Powered Holographic Amplifiers Get a McCormack DNA500 and have SMC do their upgrades on it and you will have holographic sound that you won't believe. This is a fantastic combination- enjoy! | |
| Interconnects that the shield MUST NOT connect to RCA shell, but to isolated ground wire?? HI Dean- any well made, shielded phono cable (Cardas, Synergistic Research, Shunyata Research, Analysis Plus) will be made the way that Sutherland specifies. BTW - The Little Loco is an EXCELLENT phono stage! | |
| support for heavy PC? RSJM80- here is a NO-cost way to accomplish what you need to do. Shut off the breaker for the outlet, take the cover off and rotate the outlet 180 degrees so the ground pin is at the top. That way the ground pin handles all the weight of the cab... | |
| Analysis Plus Silver Apex Speaker cable HI Joe- give the Silver Apex cables at LEAST 150 hours to fully break in. The top end is lively, but not out of proportion with the rest of the frequency spectrum. Your patience will be rewarded!As for Erik's comments- the Silver Apex IS a new d... | |
| Cardas Clear speaker cables: Rev 1 vs older version That's a great question and one that I do not know the answer to myself. I would give Brian at Cardas a call and ask him- he is a straight shooter and not a bs artist, so you will get a real answer. | |
| Are there any USA Lessloss cable dealers? I believe that the Cable Company in PA is a dealer as well. | |
| din to rca phono try out a set of Analysis Plus Silver Apex phono with DIN to RCA - one of the quietest, most dynamic cables I have ever used with very good top to bottom balance and surprisingly not completely devoid of harmonics | |
| Cover Songs that are better than the Original Some that have not been mentioned yet:Burning Down the House - Bonnie Rita (Road Tested)Papa was a Rolling Stone - Was (Not Was)Ode to Billie Joe- Tom Scott (Patty Smyth vocals)People Get Ready- Jeff Beck/Rod Stewart | |
| A thousand audio uses for memory foam. Or maybe just one . . . Earlier I had a great idea for you and that memory foam, but I thought I would sleep on it.... |
