| What drugs do you use to enhance your listening experience? The usual suspects of the hallucinogens can make a listening session more interesting, or disturbing, or pleasurable..... but, by far, the most engaging substance to listen to SOME music on is Salvia Divinorum and consider that to be true with the... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? Greetings jea48:Thank you for the input. My response, more than anything else, was to defend the sound quality of the Maestro outlets. The original post seems to suggests that the Maestro doesn't compete with the Oyaides (and the Furutechs, of... | |
| Is the Maestro AC outlet basically a cryo'd Cooper BR20 found at Lowes for $3.47? That's certainly disappointing if the Cruze Audio Maestro is simply a Cooper BR20 outlet, cryoed and nothing more but.... actually, I wouldn't mind at all. I would buy a nice stash of the Coopers and send them off for cryoing and then have severa... | |
| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? I have a few pairs of loudspeakers that are in use in various rooms. The Meadowlark Audio Heron hot rods are a 4ohm load with a sensitivity of 90dB while the Bohlender Graebener 520's are a 4 ohm load rated at 88dB. I have a pair of large DIY Le... | |

| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? I appreciate the input George. I have a good tech whose done repairs on my hi-fi for several years only an hours drive away. I'll check with him. Would you advise sending him the sources or the amps for modification? Thanks again. | |

| can you alter the gain of an amplifier? Now, these are some fine responses. Al, your advice is ever highly informative and always a pleasure to read (in my posts and many others). Doug, you turned me on to bridging the Pathos Classic amps I have a Cambridge Audio 840W which I'll proba... | |
| Can I use a multichannel amp to bi-amp my speakers I had a nice Theta Intrepid which I used to biamp Meadowlark Audio Heron (hot rod version) and BG Corp 520DX. I ran directly from the source, a modded Oppo BDP 83SE, using the 2 channel outs and the FR/FL to drive 4 channels of the amp. I though... | |
| Rare and non-heavy advertised Ribbon \ Foil cables? You could obtain Duelund's silver foil wire from Parts Connexion, from $7-31 per foot, and build your own. Vintage power cords from Wolff Audio and Electraglide were also ribbons. | |
| Bi Amping Kellymack----I'm biamping a DIY set of speakers that are similar to Legacy Focus using a big 805/300B SET tube amp (45w) to drive the midbass drivers, midranges, and tweeters while I've used some big bruiser integrateds to drive the 2 12" woofers ... | |
| Best sounding CD Players with Variable Outputs to use Direct into Power Amp? I've run several cdp direct over the last couple of decades, almost always with excellent results (the only one that benefited from a volume control upstream was the Consonance SACD 2.0). Your price point could be a bit tricky though. You might ... | |
| Silver Wire hazyj------Perhaps the lower resistance/inductance is a major factor in the improved sound of the doubled-up silver-clad 16 gauge wire vs the single run of the 18 gauge Anti-cables wire but this same 18 gauge wire was quite a bit better than the 1... | |
| Silver Wire Greetings Dragunski--- I have a pair of DIY speakers that are similar to Legacy Focus in design. The builder used stranded copper wire and they sounded quite good that way. I re-wired them internally with the heavy gauge Anti-cables speaker c... | |
| Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed I've been through numerous power cords over the last few years, everything from Gutwire, Stealth, Electraglide, Fusion Audio, 6Sons Audio...... and so forth. Eventually, I began trying different wire with premium plugs ( I prefer the Oyaide 046 a... |
