| How can power cords make a difference? Not to take sides here, but its worth mentioning that current is drawn, not forced as the gasoline hose analogy would imply. All that is required is a cable with sufficiently low resistance that is able to provide the current when demanded. If 18 ... | |

| intro to tubes This isn't likely to help you out too much, but it should have some entertainment value at the very least. After reading your post, I tried searching the web for suitable information about tube audio equipment and ran a cross this link for an arti... | |
| My own audio store There was a very entertaining thread not long ago about how much excess audio equipment everyone had in their attics. Its interesting to see that your equipment doesn't fall into that category at all -- you've found a use for all of it! I'd be int... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? At least one point that Plasmatronic makes is entirely correct -- there is indeed a herd mentality in audio that is at the very least, interesting to watch. Over many years, I've seen styles and tastes in audio sway back and forth, each time concl... | |
| My own audio store Yup, you definitely have the most toys. You win!Ken | |
| I like my Absolute Power Cords I tried them and I have to say I'm convinced. My skin has cleared up, I've lost 20 pounds, my hair has stopped receding, the gray is gone, my cat has stopped shedding, and I can now play the violin. Thanks Absolute Power Cords! | |
| Phase Inversion on CJ equipment The explanation that Bruce gives parrots exactly what CJ describes in the 17LS manual. A phase inverting component is a bit unusual in the audio world which is why CJ points it out so explicitly in their manuals (and conversely, points out that th... | |
| ARC 100 Mk11or Conrad Johnson 11a? Really, this is an apples vs. oranges comparison. As mentioned above, the CJ and ARC sound is about as different as you can get, and both are pretty much the models for their style. I suggest that you try and audition the ARC with your speakers an... | |
| tubes or ss for amati homage Regardless of the type of amplifier, make sure it has enough power to drive them. I listened to these with an ARC VT-100 and thought it sounded rather thin. With a pair of huge Classe amps however, it really seemed to come alive. I do tend to like... | |
| Time for spring cleaning I just recently moved my hi fi graveyard out to the garage so I wouldn't keep stubbing my toes on it. I have a couple of cheap receivers, several pairs of old Boston Acoustic speakers, a really old M&K satellite system with sub, an NAD pre/amp... | |
| SACD Dominates Recommended List I have to disagree with you Onhwy61 about the introduction of CD's. When they came out in the 80's, they were vastly superior in quality to the typical (although not high end) TT setup. For 98% of the consumers, it was not only technically and aud... | |
| Is Paypal safe? Swampwalker--I took a peek at iescrow's web site (I believe its called Tradenable now) and they appear to offer quite a bit of protection, but charge significantly more than PayPal. It'll be interesting to see if more business might bring down the... | |
| Is Paypal safe? After reading somewhere around 100 posts about Paypal over the past 6 months, my impression of their service is certainly not very favorable. I understand that the majority of people that use their service do so without a hitch and tend to be plea... | |
| Pre-amp for CJ Premier 12's? Another set of thumbs up for the CJ preamps. I've found that with many manufacturers, and CJ in particular, there is a significant synergy in 'staying within the family'. I'm using the 17LS with Premiere 12's and love the sound. When I was out sho... |
