Speaker Hum Question
Unless it's an SFL-1 pre or other with one tube, switch the tubes and see if the noise follows to the other speaker. If so, you might want to replace the noisy (microphonic) one. It's also very possible that one channel noise is a dirty tube pin c... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
Dekay was good enough to send me a couple of feet of the OTA to try as jumpers. I'd been thinking from this thread that it was about the same gauge as the Mapleshade. WRONG!If you think of stranded 22 gauge wire and then consider ONE of the strand... 
Superamp website
I always got there from www.audioelectronicsupply.com and click on "what's new". That's same as always, just tried it. 
Thanks to a fellow A-gon member
Audiogon and the RIAA have asked me to inform you that you are all under arrest. PUT THE BURNER DOWN AND BACK AWAY FROM IT SLOWLY! 
www.diyhifisupply.com???
Do a search at AudioAsylum. I remember the same question asked a few weeks ago but don't know the reply. 
Can a ic be sent back to...
Some "boutique" solder, Wonder, WBT, etc. is 4% silver and hard to work because of high melting point. Cardas is easier, has a lower melting point. I've been using Radio Shack 'High Tech Rosin Core' 62/36/2.Part #64-013, 2% silver. Very easy to wo...

After much soul-searching, study and prayer, I have decided to reveal the fact that I am an AUDIO MORON. I'm sure that both the members that take my opinions seriously will be shocked, but there it is.All during this discussion of the OTA cables a... 
FM radio for biking?
As someone who used to seriously race bicycles and do long workouts on city streets, I can assure you that if you can't hear the bus, it isn't there. Of course, my racing career was put to an end by MetroTransit #3445. I can't forget it because th... 
Stan Warren / Dan Wright Modifications
Warning, Milo. The laser thingy in my 525 took a dump last month and I just got it back yesterday. Putting 3 or 400 dollars into that cheesebox doesn't make sense to me. And the mods would void the warranty. Pioneer had to send to the Home Islands...

Visit Audioasylum general asylum for a thread on the buyout with several contributions from John Atkinson. 
Space-Tech preamp review
Hey Turbo- get that Foreplay out of the box and we'll swap lies about how there's no flux on MY tube sockets. If you got the Sweet Whispers mod, I came up with a way to solder the resistors with no drips into the wafers.

I built the cheapest kit: silver solution. A nice step up from AudioQuest Turquoise in detail and imaging. In fact, the solution seemed to be more forgiving of speaker placement!I then bought the Silver Lace factory wired. Major improvement in tho... 
Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit
I wonder what the wide variance in soundstaging charcteristics of most cables says about how they effect the increase/decrease in various parts of the frequency spectra. Given that we all continue to use the same electronics and speakers, what els... 
Disappointed in SACD player
Leafs- I've been to the stores, too. I'm afraid you're over optimistic. Another acronym for SACD is going to be, at least for audiophiles, BOHICA!
