| Best power cable to use for Raysonic 168? I used a Statement SC and switched to a My Audio Cables Digital.....more open sound, like removing a veil..the PS Audio is good but it smoothes things out at the expense of detail...if you try the MAC order with the Furutech F11 gold connectors...... | |
| Best 6DJ8 tubes? disagree with post about tube break in.....IMO there's nothing to break in....tubes only start deteriorating the moment you use them until they eventually fail. For NOS 6DJ8 I liked orange label Holland Amperex.....full bodied sound with good deta... | |
| Tube Rolling - No Change in Sound Msstl's number one response is probably right on...I would have contacted the MFG and asked what tubes in the unit respond most to rolling...just changing tubes out doesn't always change the sound...the KRads are great BTW | |
| Lessloss or MAC PC's w/ conditioner???? MAC pc's work real well...you can't argue about the price either. | |
| Best power conditioning under 400 bucks PS Audio Duet | |
| What is the best power cable under $200.00 retail? MAC is good way to go. I'd put a digital on the cd player...cd players seem to respond the most noticeably....however, if you don't have a dedicated line, good isolation under your gear and room treatments you're spending money prematurely....just... | |
| Best John Mayer Album the Mayer of old is not the Mayer lately....was pop king now blues rock man with amazing chops...Continuum is good and so is the live album | |
| Anyone heard about Ancient Audio Lektor 5??? the way audio reproduction is moving to computer server technology I would never spend that kind of money on a cd player....you can buy many very good players for around 2K if you have to have a new on...any player you buy now will plummet in valu... | |
| New Kimber 8TC vs Old 4TC the wire takes a while to breakin like Rod says....what it sounds like at two hours is no indicator of how it will sound when broken in. | |
| Anti-Cables Vrs Alpha Core AG-1 speaker cable Speltz interconnects are steller, especially with the Eichman bullet connectors...once you have the Speltz speaker wire broken in (minimum 200 hours) I doubt you'll be looking to spend more money on any other brand...they are terrific at any price | |
| Integrated Help suggest a Pass Labs X150....solid state design, bullet proof built, lots of detail and dynamics....would fit the music you like very well....this is a discontinued model but they appear on this forum for around $1500 and never last long when listed. | |
| Newbie needs advice for upgrade. you should never feel embarrassed about the gear you have, it shows you are a music lover and no one on this forum will think otherwise. I would go to a hifi shop and see what they have in your budget. the right shop won't hard sell you and will h... | |
| need warm and LAID BACK hi-rez/focused power cord agree with Mr. Tennis...those attributes in a powercord seem to be a paradox...when you find what you are looking for let us know...I'm interested. | |
| Weak Link it's time for you to try tube amplification. | |
| Which NORDOST Cables? why must it be Nordost? their are many significantly less expensive alternatives. However, if you want to impress others with how much you spent then Nordost is a good place to go. Other posters are going to ask you what equipment you use. Spendin... |
