InfiniCaps in Audio Research gear
Captpenny, did you install them yourself? 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Yes Unsound I am suprised. It was just that they were talking about a higher priced speaker than the Three(whatever version it was at the time). I felt that at least the EQ that they used at the time degraded the overall performance.It suprised me... 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
You Thiel owners can thank me in part that your speakers don't have those stupid electronic bass EQ boxes(ala Bose 901) that the old Threes had. I had sort of an argument with Tom Thiel back in the late eighties and Las Vegas CES about the fact th... 
Albertporter only needs 50
Drubin, the cable cooker is burn in morphine. It takes the pain away! It is fast and effective. The sound is even better than the day 14 posting and I am in sonic nervana.(it won't take long for me to find the need to improve the sound again soon ... 
Albertporter only needs 50
Here is the conclusion of my findings about the "Porter Ports". This may sound as if I have been just awarded some coveted trophy. First I want to thank all of the AudioGon members that have made this possible. Albert, for all his efforts that wer...

Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
I will let you know Sek. I am pretty confident that from the results I have gotten so far that it will be an improvement on just about any system! It may be a while but when I get around to it I will put one in for my Wifes NAD,Naim,Ls3/5a BBC mon... 
Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
I just wanted to add that I am using two of the outlets. One of which has my amp amd powered sub plugged directly into it and the other has my pre amp, CD player, and Turntable plugged into it running through a cheap Monster conditioner. I am not ... 
Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
Chuck, I do undertand your position. I didn't know what to expect myself from this outlet upgrade. I was conservative about my expectations and was not sure that the results that others were reporting would translate to my system. First of all I w... 
The best audio steal or deal you've ever gotten?
I once bought 4 Luxman 3045 mono tube amps for $25 each! One needed some work but was still a STEAL! I got a working Dynaco ST70 out of the dumpster behind the HiFi shop I worked at once too! 
Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
The cryo'd 8300 Hubbells I am experimenting with are not finished breaking in and I can already say that at least in my system there is NO question, No maybe, No who knows, about the fact that they sound better. So much better in fact,that it is l... 
Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
Warrenh,all I can say is that not trying a cryo treated Hubbell 8300 is only YOUR loss. Why not listen to one and then see if you still don't understand? I dare you! 
Replacing/Upgrading AC Outlets
Barrelchief, go to Agon member lookup and do a search for Lak. Read his posts on this topic. I think that he has listened to more different outlets than just about anyone and has some very good information that I think you will find useful. 
Where can I get my power cables cry'oed?
Worldcup86,the link that Buckingham provided is has some good info. If I didn't miss something while skimming it, there seems to be no mention of the effect this new crystaline restructuring has on a metals conductivity(my understanding of it's au...
