| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Well, finally applied the product which I bought at "Home Depot" which was NOT 100% Tung Oil as I was lend to believe from reading the label. They only carried "Minwax Tung Oil Finish." This is a blend of oil and varnish I believe. (Maybe should b... | |
| One year anniversary -what have I learned? Wonderful website! Greatly enjoy reading the "forum" section and I have learned so much about audio from all whom post and respond. Thanks everyone! | |
| Should I Sell My Jolida Tube for NAD 272? I wouldn't sell the Jolida w/o first auditioning the NAD power amp w/your receiver. Maybe after giving your ear a chance to adjust to the different sound presentation, you might just prefer the NAD/SS sound. Your "quality" of sound will be replace... | |
| Wiremold ''NAIM'' powerstrip prices what's this??? I've ordered from Allied Electronics some very fine sounding binding posts which have made a huge sonic improvement to all the rec's/int.amps/spk's that I've tried them on. They are called "Superior Electric" BP-31's. Gold plated version only. 6/3... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Just an update: Bought 100% Tung Oil at "Home Depot." It was around $15. Haven't had a chance to apply yet. I'll post the results shortly to let everyone know the results and my opinions. Thanks, Bill. | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Jayboard, in response to your question, it's obvious that the veneer is drying out. Not really bad, but I would like to restore its condition. I've never used 100% Tung Oil nor do I know very much about this product. Will it produce a strong smell... | |
| Best Budget Rig sub $600 A Jolida JD 1701 hybrid int. amp is the most musical amp you can buy new for $500 (retail) or around 300-$350 used. I highly recommend this int. amp. Do not be put off by the 50w per ch. rating. Sounds more like 100w. A great int. amp! (www.audior... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. Thank-you for all your responses. I believe Snell used the "natural approach" and applied only oils. I do not believe a sealing finish was applied. I appreciate all your advice and will consider all your fine advice. | |
| Speaker Cable-The Best of the Cheap? You might want to consider Audioquest Type 2 or 4. Very good sounding inexpensive cables. | |
| Bryston B60 I would have no hesitation buying a used Bryston from a well-established member w/exc. feedback. I would talk w/that person and ask a couple of questions. Original owner, box/manual/spec sheet/power-cord. Ask about shipping (possibility about doub... | |
| Bryston B60 I wouldn't pay more than $1000 for a B60R. But if you have the space for seperates, the 4B ST w/ a good used pre-amp is the way to go. Even a used 3B and a good tube pre-amp (CJ amoung others) would be a better way to go. | |
| Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass? I highly recommend VH Audio "Pulsar" Interconnect. These are fantastic. Copper conductor. Very Balanced and Musical. Trial period if not satisfied can return. (I highly doubt anyone trying these would return.) I had the B60R and if the spk. is on ... | |
| Remote Controlled Phase Reversal Switch Bryston BP-25 has this feature. | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? Whenever possible use bare wire. I'll found that there is little difference between a spade/banana. However, there is a difference between the types of connectors and whether they are crimped/screwed or soldered. If your amp or int. amp has really... | |
| Von Schweikert VR1 against Spendor 3.5 I've owned the S 3/5 and auditioned the VR1. I regret selling the Spendors. They are very nice sounding spks. Very inefficient. However, their new retail price is way too high. I think for less $ I'd look elsewhere. If you're able to find a used T... |
