| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? The Volex cords are surprisingly good. Go to the hardware store and get a couple Pass and Seymour 5266 plugs to replace the molded ones. You have a pretty good power cord for under 10$.As Tvad says-it lowers the noise floor quite well.I have used ... | |
| Best 1m Interconnect under $100 Dennis-Do you still have the VH Audio Spectrum Cu?How did it work out for you?Where are you putting these $100 IC's ??The ones you have are pretty well regarded. | |
| do copper, silver & gold cables sound different ? Lots of threads on this. I would do a search.I think that any stereotypes about warm copper or tizzy silver are no longer valid. | |
| Squeeze box vs. CD player The answers are it depends. :)1) Stock SB was reviewed in recent Stereophile newsletter I believe. Might take a look at that. My guess is it competes well with most stock $1000 one box units.2) A modded SB (I have an RWA full mod with most recent ... | |
| Anybody have a problem buying modded units. Well, for a different perspective-I wouldn't buy anything but a modded unit anymore. You do need to do your homework.:) | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V I talked at length with TRL today about the revised full mod with battery power option. I have the basic mod on this unit and it is an extremely enjoyable player as it is.I am going to try and make a trip to Chicago to hear the full mod with the b... | |
| 55 Foot Speaker Cable Run I use the HD 12 ga stuff for a 35 foot run with banana plugs in my setup with no issues.Not sure if the extra 20 feet would create an issue.HD cord is pretty good stuff in rejecting EMI/RFI and no need to spend more for rear surounds IMO.Tvad's su... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45- Without a doubt the Marantz build quality and appearance is more attractive. Helluva player with the TRL mod. | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Give them to your library.Take a tax deduction.Feel good. | |
| Parasound JC-1 Heat Dissipation Shuang-I auditioned the JC-1's with the TRL SA 14 and they were a good match.Maybe you could consider the little brother the Parasound 3500.Good luck. | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V Doesn't matter. Play whatever you want.Unless I am mistaken the break in length is more on the analog output stage, power supply, and the hardwire parts so either format is fine.I would simply fill up the changer with both and set on repeat.The pl... | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V Ghirteen-300 hours for basic signature to develop and another 200 hours of gradual changes after that. | |
| Help Me Explain Power Cables to my Guitar Friends Interesting thread.Ghostrider is correct that the desired sound out of guitar amps is antithetical at times to what we try to achieve in audiophile land.I would generally suggest just trying a 14ga Volex (6$) in place of whatever 16ga or 18ga stoc... | |
| TRL Marantz Sa-14 La45-It is a bit hard to put my finger on the difference. Paul says the 900 measures out the most neutral of any unit they have modded. This can be a good thing, or not, depending upon your perspective. The SA14 probably had a slight lower midbass... | |
| Benefit of DAC? Thinking of Bel Canto 2 Lilavine-Take your time and do your research.You can get very good digital for a reasonable price.New digital units are the worst investment in audio-buy used and buy something that is well liked so you can sell it if you end up not liking it. |
