| 60Hz humm in Sunfire SRA. Glad to hear you solved the problem. Thanks for sharing. It might be helpful to others down the road. I'd like to replace all the electrolytics in mine, but it's a project I just don't have time for right now. | |
| Which OPPO? For streaming, Apple has a much better choice of movies than Netflix. We use our Apple TV for both services and it works great. Does Oppo have access to sites other than Netflix? | |
| Super Cheap Upgrade I've often wondered about this. Is the wax way in the back where it's hard to reach? My ears are clean with no obvious sign of wax buildup. I suppose I should just ask my doctor to look at them. | |
| Shahinian Diapason It's obviously a Seas driver. I bet you'll get more information from Vasken if you call him rather than email. My friend Rpfef has talked to them a number of times and was able to get the model number for his Hawk woofer. Email is easy to ignore. ... | |

| Looking to Improve Music Played from Apple TV I haven't seen any jitter measurements for the Apple TV, but if it's anything like the Airport Express, you'll get better sounding results with your computer connected directly to your DAC. That would be my first suggestion. Unrelated to the Apple... | |
| Some speaker cables produce lower/higher volume? You should use an SPL meter to measure the difference. Please report back. | |
| 60Hz humm in Sunfire SRA. It's unnecessary to use the same brand of caps. Some of those companies may not exist anymore. Just make sure the replacements are identical in value (uF and voltage). Standard operating temp is 85 degrees, but 105 is becoming more and more common... | |

| VPI Classic Platter - Polishing?? Can you post a picture of the results? It would be nice to see. | |
| Help me pick some speakers Walstib, I have the same amp and it mates extremely well with Ohm Walsh. I've been very happy with this combo. It sounds wonderful. | |
| Thoughts on interconnect vs. speaker cable length. I didn't realize that cable length affects phase shift. I stumbled into an interesting article by Empirical Audio: Is it better to have short interconnects and long speaker cables or visa-versa? He measured rolloff and phase shift and came to thes... | |
| Belles 21A specs Dave sent the product manual (blessings to him), but the output impedance isn't listed. I guess I won't worry about it. I'll just move forward with long ICs and see how it sounds. | |
| Gas Ampzilla II vs Bedini I spend a fair amount of time with a friend who drives Shahinian Hawks with a Sunfire 600. He likes to play symphonies at real world volumes while maintaining a rich textured soundscape. The Sunfire handles it with ease and grace. Absolutely beaut... |
