| Let's Play UpMarket DownMarket...The audio game It is an interesting question in that the usual response would normally be "you have to hear the items in question and decide for yourself." However I too fall on the entry or less expensive model of the upscale manufacturer. I agree with the idea... | |
| Audio Amateur Yrs. 72-78 Hardback in 3 Volumes? If you are selling them you are perilously close to breaking the no sell rules on this forums. I would like to advertise my holdings as well. I suppose however if you were just curious without asking what they are worth, which BTW is always what s... | |
| VPI Classic Motor Lubrication Avoid Whale oil it is not politically correct and I image must have some off odors. | |
| Blacknote CD500 CD player By whom, is there a Blacknote audio? Can't find it, only a CD 500 from Carey. | |
| Voltage regulation There are products made for audio that are called voltage regenerators. Generally these units are considered the best surge protectors and I imagine are set to a desired voltage.I do not think that feeding a high quality internal power supply a st... | |
| Need recommendations on speaker cables I will repeat what has been asked? What sound are you aiming to get vs what the audioquests yield. A used cable dependig on age etc should run you about 50% of new thus research $2000 cables. My personal favorites for a more detailed type speaker,... | |

| SHM SACD's need to be burned in Yes I wanted to ask about the effect that Squishy Wetware has on Hardware myself. This could be important to maintain fidelity between them. | |
| 6SN7 equivalent's, help need it I don't think that a 6CC1 is a 6SN7 sub. Excersize caution, a lot of tubes look like 6SN7s, so don't let the bottle and a double triode plate structure convince you. Amongst other things the pinout may not be correct and you could do a number on y... | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in I don't know what all the skepticism is all about. Why shouldn't a new type of plastic polymer change after exposure to a laser? There are all sorts of semi explainable phenomena in magical land of audiophildom. | |
| transport tube amp The safest method is to pack the tubes separately. | |
| Jolida sj502a tube advice Johnsonwu,I respect your opinion without knowing how the 502 sounds with these mods. I expect they really will make an important difference.However most of us are not equipped to do the mods ourselves or have access to electronic technicians who w... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 A quasi ribbon is something that resembles a ribbon but is not a ribbon. In essence I agree with your question W*F is that. They really owe their die hard loyal followers a better description and stop the silly marketing jargon. | |
| Jolida sj502a tube advice The $400 is well spent on reissue Gold Lion KT-88s. I was really pleased with the impact it had on my sound. I won't say that they have a warmish darker sound. The Chinese 6550s sound SS liketo me I find much more midrange with the GL reissues and... | |
