The truth about interconnects - can you handle it?
None denies that cables sound different but by all means when you strip or look inside the mega-priced ones you see just the same industrial grade wires with some phoney information about close to ideal purity that you can easily buy for pennies a...

Ghostrider,Thanks, I'll follow! 
Why is balance in my pre inaccurate at low levels?
VTL pre-s do not require matched tubes. The small signal tubes run at very low bias current thus have the longest life possible.The volume pot is realy 90% probable cause.

Jax2,Lookup at least 50 years back to find out how WE300B is $900/pr now and other mega-prices as well. You'll certainly be able to subtract from psychological "psycho" thereafter and plenty of bait for different purposes.

Tsouthworth,You basically need to perform a third experiment: Strip the shield of your old MIT wires and try them one or the other direction.As to the recording onto cassette the pulling strength is different throughout the whole cassette tape len...

Cables recommendations for Revel F30?
Type 4 cable is probably bi-wired.Use it for now and get good 2ch-amp. 10% of HT can be successfully heard with inexpencive receiver or system from still going out-of biz WIZ stores. 
High end PCs,,,,,in the wall or power conditioner?
P.S. Just adding to my last thought for chassis you can use a nice piece of granite from local monument shop that can shape it for your business needs(don't take any offence on this one as I'm poised to offence manufacturers and marketeers but not...

High end PCs,,,,,in the wall or power conditioner?
1. Wall dedicated 30A circuit(can be used for both monos) with built-in isolation transformer for surge protection.2. Probably your budget won't need to be stretched further since the largest part is already taken care of. If you feel that you nee... 
EAR 834 vs. ARC PH-3?
