| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? That was a strong statement, and my point was simply that IMO the MkIII for $2,100 is a great deal. I have been thinking about trying other players, but dispite months of looking at options, every time I listen to my system with the Lector I think... | |
| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? I have owned the CDP 7TL MkII and two MkIII's, either of which should sound better than the MkI. Lector made improvements from the MkI to the MkII in the power supply, chassis damping, and top drawer slider. The only difference from MkII to MkIII ... | |
| Rig building - When or Why, do you change devices? My buying and selling is pretty much exactly as posted by Tvad above. I have found that sometimes an upgrade of one component requires changing another to maintain synergy, sort of an endless loop. | |
| Good Copper IC's for 2.5M RCA pre to amp? Thanks again guys. For now, things seem to sound good with Purist Aqueous Anniversary (1M)from source to preamp, and Purist Venustas (3M) from pre to my Cary 500MB monos. I have been trying different speaker cables after selling my Venustas bi-wir... | |

| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? Here are a couple of links;http://www.play-hookey.com/dc_theory/voltage_divider.htmland http://www.goldpt.com/mods.htmlI built external dividers since I wasn't sure whether I was going to keep that particular preamp (which I didn't), but if you ar... | |
| Can a preamp's gain be lowered? I built my own balanced attenuators for the input side of a tube preamp using Vishay resistors from Partsconnexion. I was able to try a few combinations first then zero in on the level of reduction that worked best. I also tried the Endlers, which... | |
| Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts? Sthomas12321, the article I referenced above may help answer your questions. | |
| Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts? There are multiple factors, such as how the crossover boards are implemented within the speaker, how the bi-wire cables are set up, and others. Some internally bi-wired cables simply split the number of wires between LF and MF/HF, while others dou... | |
| Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts? Good luck with your trial. If you like the sound but do not like stacking spades, I would bet Cardas would be happy to reterminate one end of your jumpers with bananas. | |
| Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts? Another option would be for you to construct your own jumpers. It is easy to make a set of jumpers that should perform just fine, and since the length is generally a foot or less, the effect of that wire IMO is about nil, assuming the wire you use... | |
| Single-wire spades from amp to biwire spkr posts? If you like your Cardas cables, before buying anything else, you should try a high quality (like Cardas) set of jumpers on the speakers. Run the speaker cables to the MF/HF posts on your speakers, and then jump to the LF posts(or try it both ways ... | |
| Beryllium-Copper: How safe? Geez, I have a set of beryllium copper golf irons that I don't use, maybe I should visit e-bay.As stated in Albert's reference, it is my understanding that some years ago, stricter environmental controls increased costs related to manufacturing it... |
