| Stand out phono stages Ralph is correct about his balanced pre and how balanced cables having little or no sonic effect.At first I didn't think this was the case until I tried some different ones when I had an MP3.The problem arises when you don't have a headphone amp t... | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? I"ve lost track of the exact year that I told my wife that I had bought "my last amp",but it was sometime in the early 80's.All I can say is that I still have the same wife.I did have a friend- (fellow musician) who when quizzed about his preferen... | |
| Stand out phono stages I've been listening to vinyl thru headphones,AKG K702/Burson 160 for a few days now.The phono interconnects are Nordost Frey series 2 into the Steelhead from an SME set up,Clearaudio MC.What I have found, is that the interconnects from the Steelhe... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I use two short pairs(1.5 Mtr) of Heimdal from my source to the Lightspeed and from it to the power amps.I was running a longer pair of Art Audio IC from the source.I think I like 2 matched pairs.I'm curious about future IC upgrades.So what's the ... | |
| Why no reviews of the Magnepan 3.7 in Stereophile Why be afraid if Stereophile posts the specs of the Maggie and they're not perfect?They've posted a few reviews of SET amps which measured poorly but had a great sound, and most of those companies are still in business.I think it would be somewhat... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? If power cords can't make a difference, then nothing else in this hobby should either.If you think stranded copper wire will sound just the same as solid core, then a tube amp should sound the same as a solid state amp.If you think 18 guage zip wi... | |
| Stand out phono stages It would be informative if Paypet could elaborate some more about his phono stage experiences. Specifically what other phono stages has he owned and in what areas does the Wytech supass the others he has used?I have seen and heard the upper Wytech... | |
| Stand out phono stages Some folks are easier to please than others.I know when I started out, an LP12 into the phono stage of my NAD 3020,a driving a pair of Rogers LS3/5A was all I needed to please my ears.Then I had the opportunity to listen to some other systems and ... | |
| Help with Acoustat Model 1 + 1 Back in the 80's I had the Acoustat model three and drove them with a single Conrad Johnson (tube) MV 75A-1 and I used a Janus subwoofer,no longer made but some maybe around.This was a nice sounding system,one of my favourites, but I moved on and ... | |
| Upgrading Cary CAD 300sei integrated I always felt that the remote/volume control was less than ideal when I had my 300Sei.I tube rolled some nice Brimar 6sn7 to good effect but that was as far as I went.If I still had mine, I would opt to run it as a power amp and bypass the whole p... | |
| Stand out phono stages The absolute best--insert whatever turns you on,the truth is it's only the absolute best to the fellow who says it is, in his system and with his ears.In my system it may not be, and over the years I've had several well known phono stages from Atm... | |
| Fuses that matter. I am beginning to wonder if there is a synergy issue with some fuses working better in some gear(tubes) and some other fuses working better in solid state gear.Maybe we should have a poll.What fuses work best with tube gear-AMR, HiFI, SR?What Fuse... | |
| why balanced power last before component? I have two Furman balanced power conditioner-15 amp and 20 amp.I have had no problems running Shunyata Hydra 2 and Hydra 8 after the Furman.I had inquired of Shunyata about any harm that would happen if I ran two Hydras together -daisey chained-as... | |
| Grover Huffhman Sx Unfortunately I need RCA connections,and about 5m from source to the Lightspeed.Then only about 1.5 from it to the amps.At the moment I am using 5m Art Audio cables with upgraded(but not fancy) RCA ends, and 1.5 Nordost Heimdal to the amps.I have ... | |
| Fuses that matter. The chips worked on my HifI supremes and on the AMR Golds.Why,How?Who cares. |
