| Mac 501 cd player or MDA 1000 d/a converter I haven't heard either, but you might want to try digging this (or posting) at the McIntosh forum within Audiokarma.org.Horacio | |
| Good, non-jewelery connector for TeslaPlex outlet? Thanks for the comments, which are in line with what I've dug out of past threads.Looking at your profile I see you use S/R power cables with the TeslaPlex. Which S/R PC would you recommend for a CD player? Have you tried any aftermarket connector... | |
| Stands for small floorstanders? Thanks guys.Knownothing: Not thinking of making holes in the speaker! Just going to use the existing holes for the threaded rubber feet to attach the speaker to whatever I make.Anyway, I hear you about trying with Blutak. The issue is I live overs... | |
| Stands for small floorstanders? Knownothing,Thanks for the tips. I spent a fair amount of time looking at the Mapleshade website. They actually explain their beliefs, which is very helpful.I could source a 2" heavy wood platform from a local wood shop and fit it with heavy brass... | |
| stillpoints question While I'm only in the process to try them out, I read Ceraballs/Cerapucs are pretty good and appropriate for this application.My two cents. | |
| Stands for small floorstanders? Roxy,Thanks for the input. I live overseas and I'll have to make my own bases, which is a non-issue, but would appreciate if you could describe these a bit more. How heavy are the screw-on steel plates? How much do I need to raise the speakers fro... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I'm going to get the copper connectors and give it a try. Sounds very promising!One question: anybody tried a copper sleeve throughout the whole power cord (for unshielded PC)? I have a stock PC on my Rotel RCD-1072 As you can imagine, it's a chea... | |
| Moderate floorstanders for medium room Do you like the B&W sound? If you do I suggest the 804s. Matched with the right electronics they sound very good (to me, that is). I have them with McIntosh MC275 (tubes) and love them. The MC275 is 75 W per side, like yours. However not all 7... | |
| DIY solid core speaker cable: connectors? Hey Neil.Thanks for the input. I thought that wouldn't be a good idea. But it would be the easiest option too. Can you point me to some of the contact protectors you mention? Cheers!Horacio | |
| DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter? Cpk,I was thinking of getting wire from some guys who wire electric motors (electrolitic copper), and they offer to insulate it for me. I believe the wire is not completely bare but rather has a very thin enamel-type insulation. Would this be a go... | |
| DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter? Thanks all.Al: thanks for the explanation and running the numbers. My amp is 2x75 W so taking 57 V peak is more than safe. Still, 57V is rather low voltage in terms of insulation, so that's good news.CPK: thanks for pointing out anti-cables are in... | |
| DIY speaker wire: does insulation matter? Thanks Elizabeth.How close together? Should I twist the pair? Anti-cables are suggested to be twisted at 3 to 4 twists per foot.Thanks | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? Cruz,Thanks for the sugggestion, however I'm now living overseas so the 30-day trial is not an option. That's why I'm asking for at least impressions...in the absense of people with first hand experience with the D70, Theta, or Mac units.Do you kn... | |
| digital eq/room correction trade-offs On the Tact, is the volume control analog or digital? Either way I guess it's good as your feedback from it as a preamp is very good.If it's on the analog side (which is usually recommended) and I wanted to use an external DAC, then it would need ... | |
| Opinions: ML 390S, Esoteric D70, Opus21, Capitole? Thanks guys again. I guess your back and forth just portraits how personal these things are. I don't expect anybody else to make the decission for me, but I'm just looking for input from more knowledgeable people - just like you are doing.It seems... |
