| McCormacks -- For lovers and investors As Bob says, they are indeed actively making them now and more importantly they are making them better than ever.The current all-in upgrades use little more than the case and heat sinks from the old amps. Send them a non-working amp....it doesn’t... | |
| Bulk power cables suggestions Professional cable-makers don’t need to be "outsmarted" in order for DIY to improve on manufactured offerings at certain price points. Cables consist of materials, geometry, shielding, damping, and connectors and while some designs sound better th... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? @millercarbon We simply know so little of what matters and what does not. We can look all we want. In the end, if it sounds good then we can only admire the way it’s put together. If it don’t, well then who cares how it looks?I agree with you but ... | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? Some void the warranty if the case is opened, such as Tom Evans and I believe the Merrill gear too. | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's That is too bad. The Douglas folks are pretty good so maybe ask if you can return the Furutech connectors. The 5mm ID specification clearly should have worked with your 7 awg wire, which would have a diameter of only about 3.7mm based on an awg ... | |

| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? Like this? | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal Thankfully, I have a lot of Neil Young on CD and hence in my music server. These squabbles are irritating though so hopefully they can work through it. I use Tidal without MQA and get along fine. | |
| Does it annoy you when companies don't show the internals of electronics ? I always had that issue with Merrill and a few others, and particularly when companies were putting the same NC1200 modules in their amps yet passing them off as being significantly different from each other. There just wasn’t that much that coul... | |
| 10agw +10agw=7agw? need some big Banana's I agree Doug - a psychological barrier for sure but that is why even at times when I have really, really, wanted to trim a few, I always retwisted and reinserted the wire bundle just to get those last one or two uncooperative strands in with the r... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. So, @tweak1 brought up the fabled Clever Little Clock earlier in this thread. The original CLC was a Timex travel alarm clock with an orange dot on the face. Something was definitely very, very clever, but it wasn’t the clock. Rivaled only by lege... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly @audio2design What part of "empirical" evidence, from a scientific standpoint, requires controlled listening tests, not ad-hoc listening tests hence anecdotal evidence is hard for the kids in the back to understand?? The answer is "none." Empir... | |
| What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen. As an attempt to bring this back on topic, I would say the Hallograph is maybe not the silliest accessory I have ever seen. That might be the little saucer things Geoff sent me as a prize for answering one of his questions correctly, but even tha... | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly It is my understanding optical/fiber decoupling is best positioned as close to the endpoint as possible. I am currently using two TP-Link Gigabit SFP to RJ45 Fiber Media Converters and a 1M run of Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable. These are ... | |
| Schiit - shipments stopped? @pjr801 +1Thank you for a positive thought - I needed one tonight. You have reminded me -the fastest way to happiness is thankfulness |
