| Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?... Al, I was looking for beautiful wood and ended up with black piano finish speakers (like Wilson Puppy) that, according to my wife, resembled small coffins. Over time they grew on us and now we love them. | |
| Vintage Tube amp worries When long in storage electrolyte in electrolytic caps eats out dielectric (aluminum oxide) lowering breakdown voltage. Presence of voltage rebuilds dielectric. Power amps thru variable power transformer starting with 50% and increase voltage to ... | |
| Quick Speaker Cable Connector Question AQ makes speaker spades for wires up to gauge 9. Spades supposed to be the second best after bare wire. I've never liked banana plugs - my heavy cables bend them while pulling on the cable can disconnect it that can cause the damage to tube am... | |
| TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions? Large ferret might work as well - just try to wrap AC cord over it and soon you will forget minor problems with your system's sound. | |
| "Original" equipment vs. upgraded equipment I wouldn't have problem with upgraded equipment, as long as it is done by equipment manufacturer. I would be afraid of soldering iron-happy users who claim they do wonderful work to the "highest standards". Not only that I don't trust them, but ... | |
| Be Careful! lpretiring, electric charge on your body is "looking" for return to ground. There will be multiple paths of return with current inversely proportional to return impedance. I'm not sure if it can create effect, you describe, in tubes, but it is ... | |
| TV gives me a headache when its on; any suggestions? I do the same, but it is a sign of addition. I still use roof antena - more channels, would be like giving drugs to an addict.My TV does not change anything, but I have it plugged into different outlet of the Furman Elite 20PFi conditioner. Try di... | |
| 900 MHz audio transmitter and receiver I had problems with WiFi on 2.4GHz. I found that each of 12 channels is 4 channels wide resulting in only 3 channels. I had constant dropouts. I switched to 5GHz and haven't had a dropout for many years. It has 23 non-overlaping channels, is no... | |
| Be Careful! I have one pair of very comfortable shoes (Skechers) that makes me get zapped from all metal objects (very unpleasant). At home I walk barefoot, but at work I get zapped all the time. I ended up saving these shoes for the rainy seasons. | |

| Profile Picture Same here. | |
| Firewire immune to jitter? In synchronous S/Pdif , even when source and the DAC clocks are different DAC adjusts its clock to follow average rate of the source. This is usually done with PLL, that often introduces its own jitter. In properly executed asynchronous USB cloc... | |
| GAS syndrome... Gardener's Syndrom, a constant desire to trim and improve (mods), can be as bad as GAS. | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? I appears that link above doesn't work, not to mention very long discussion. Let me show quotes from original post and two responses.OP:I don't pretend to be a professional reviewer (in fact this is the first time I've been moved to review any eq... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 amplifier - what to expect? Randy, you mean my clumsy attempt to write review? Yes it was in comparison to Rowland 102, but it is likely not very useful, since Rowland 102 is based on old, first generation of Icepower modules. I can only say that AHB2 sounds wonderful to me ... |
