| Cable elevators What would wrapping the cables with the metal foil of your choosing. I would use copper if I can find it and then seal it with a plastic wrap called "Press and Seal". That should keep out stray noises. | |
| Help me get started again. Tube amp... They are more costly than I remembered them to be. It has been a while since I last visited his web site. I guess if he wants one specifically with or without Rodger's hand wound transformers. Some of the other offerings seem affordable, if you ... | |
| Help me get started again. Tube amp... That was a really low price for that amp. I think the owner might not have known what to ask, or there is something more nefarious under foot. They are not very expensive amps so the OP can consider a new one or wait for a used one. There are a n... | |
| Best Cable Match for: Creek 4330SE + Rega Apollo + Vandersteen 2C Let me emphasize the silver vs copper point. If you have a very warm sounding system the you might want the clarity that silver can bring to your sound. If you think your system sounds analytical and strident or you just want to keep it warm t... | |
| Help me get started again. Tube amp... There are Quicksilver amps that are built here and should be in your price range (whatever that really is). I have heard a few and think they are very good for the money.If you liked VTL wait until you can buy VTL, or perhaps even Manley which hi... | |
| Kenwood KR-9600 I don't know any pure vintage Kenwood sites. But you might want to try the Audio Asylum vintage audio asylum. There must be a group Kenwood nuts. Kenwood engineers went on to form Accuphase via an intermediary ? Kensonic? etc My son wanted the ... | |

| Kenwood KR-9600 I owned a KA-7100 integrated amp which I think must have come from a slightly earlier era, because the top model, the KA-9100, hade only 90 watts per channel. Mine was a whopping 60 lol. "DC Coupled True Dual Monaural" IIRC. It worked from 19... | |
| interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference? I must say however that the cable with the most impact on my system was the insertion of a pair Cardas Golden Reference, interconnects. The change was immediate and very profound so I agree in principle with speaker cable, but in practice the ICs... | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp You can try a couple of highly well known SS power amps. One that comes to mind is ARC, they just don’t make tube amps and the sound might be lively enough for you. As for others I don’t know what else you are considering, or what your budget is, ... | |
| Cable elevators Mechanical and electrical isolation makes some sense. Clearly you needn't spend a fortune on it, unless you really feel an insatiable need to. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings dave b- I have seen some gear hold s much as 60% orig. cost or even more on certain pieces and the sellers determination. However you are correct this is not a financial growth strategy. | |
| High End Amp Price Collapse musings I just don't know, but if that new amp that that puts out 300 watts but weighs only 3 pounds and costs $3,000 or possibly much more it just isn't going to feel right to me. I am used to big iron and like I said tubes and transformers.I know some... |
