| Huntsville Alabama I'd like to come but Mobile to Huntsville is a bit of a trek. ;) | |
| Ray Samuels F117 Nighthawk vs. PS Audio GCPH I'm still enjoying my Nighthawk/DV-20XL combo. I haven't listened to anything else in the price range and my only other phonostage comparison would be with a Cambridge Audio 640P. | |
| Hi End Wii AV cable The Wii doesn't do hi-def. It's only 480p. I second the Monoprice component cable. I had one but have since gotten rid of the Wii since the kids never played with it. I bought a Kinect instead for them to not play with in the future. | |
| SET sound without a lot of money The Sophia Electric Baby is NOT a SET amplifer. It is a Class-A push-pull design.Sophia Eletric's webpage for the Baby clear specifies that *S.E.T. Music Baby Amplifier stands for *Sophia Electric Technology. Not Singled Ended Triode. The tube use... | |
| Cary slp-05 tubes rumor or fact? You could try to purchase an "Octal saver" which is an adapter that would raise the height of the socket. Not sure how deep Cary's sockets are so you might not be able to easily retrieve the adapter once you put it in place. Good luck.http://www.v... | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter If you already own the super platter, my opinion would be to just buy the aluminum platter and not exchange your super platter. The aluminum platter/bearing is $800 per VPI's current price sheet. Test them both out and if you don't like the alumin... | |
| CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter VPI doesn't make the super platter anymore so you'll have to bide your time until one comes up for sale. If you want it now, the aluminum platter is pretty much your only option. | |
| Red Wine Ginevra Phono Stage - Any Opinions? Can't comment on the Ginevra as I have no experience with it. I have the Nighthawk and continue to enjoy it. It tried it against an AQVOX and still preferred the Nighthawk. Comparing the $3000 Ginevra to the $800 Nighthawk is a bit unfair. I would... | |
| Mogami wire vs Signal Cable inter and Linn K400 I just got 60 ft. of 2549 in the mail today to build my own custom interconnects to wire up my entire system. I was planning on connecting them the same way as yours (shield floated on one end). Glad to hear you're enjoying them. | |
| RCA Caps I bought a set of 10 pair of caps from Vintage Audio Lab off of eBay for about $20 shipped. Not really sure I can tell a difference, but better safe than sorry. Especially since it was only $20. | |
| Can anyone identify these stands? They look Core-esque, but Core has never used glass shelves to my knowledge. I own three MOD3 racks. | |
| How many forms of Jitter can you identify? I can't really identify jitter, but I know the heebie jeebies when I hear 'em. | |
| VPI Classic original vs newer tonearms According to VPI's price sheet info on their website "THE JMW-10.5i TONEARM HAS BEEN RENAMED THE CLASSIC 3 TONEARM". The 10.5i is included on the Classic 2 and Classic 3 tables, I believe. The Classic 1 has it's own arm (called "The Classic Tonear... | |
| SB Touch through coax or USB to DAC? I would imagine John Swenson could give you some tips on what type of USB DAC would work best so you could inquire of each company if their USB DAC fit the correct parameters. Just a guess though. On a different note, am I the only one who thinks ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-33s? There's a lot of discussion of the VR-33 at Audiocircle.comhttp://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topic=77929.0 |
