| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? Gotta say, I have no current plans for major changes. I have owned the Aerial 9's for about 5 years, Lector for 3 yrs. and Tom Evans Vibe/Pulse for 3 years (off and on - I have owned several of them). I have only had my Clayton amps about a year, ... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player when it does not seem that way is when I will make a move to hard drive based storage, or possibly cloud based hi-rez stream and playI agree with Grannyring and Pubul57. For now I am actually going back and forth between two excellent players, one... | |
| Anyone heard the new Cary SA-500.1 Monoblocks? Stan, I looked very hard at the 500.1's and ultimately decided to upgrade my Clayton's instead. I might have been swayed if there had been more information out there about the 500.1's but they are quite new. I understand there may be a pair curren... | |
| Best Bike to ride before a good listening session Any bike I am riding at the time is the best. There is no bad ride. My riding goes about 2/3-1/3 road to mountain and both are great fun. Like audio, I sometimes think folks (me included) get too wrapped up in the gear and forget that the fun is i... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp None of them have the harmonic richness of dimensionality that tubes can give.Mikey, have you heard a TEAD Vibe7 with Pulse II? I am not going to argue that it is the same as a tubed preamp, but it certainly has the harmonic richness and dimension... | |
| Once again...looking for a "tube like" SS preamp I agree with Philjolet who said above,Look for excellent solid state and enjoy it for what it is......and Dover nailed it with the Tom Evans recommendation. I own the TEAD Vibe (Lithos 7) with Pulse II and it betters every single SS preamp I have ... | |
| Tom Evans Audio Design Microgroove + X Review Thanks for the mini-Vibe/Pulse review;It was the Vibe/Pulse that was really a game-changing piece of equipment for me: a blackground blacker than I had ever heard before, with quite stunning macro dynamics, and full and complete tonal saturation w... | |
| Piece of Audio gear you regret selling The only gear I regret selling was my very first transaction which put me on the path of Audiogon, etc. - a pair of ADS L810's in mint cond. However, I will give an honorable mention to a CAT Ultimate MkII with CD taper volume that I sold a couple... | |
| Mosfet mist? Lamm does ok with their mosfet based hybrids. | |
| McCormack DNA-750 These have been introduced very quietly. No reviews that I am aware of although they seem like they could be similar to a pair of bridged DNA 225 monos. I do have a picture of the insides and there are a few of the CJ capacitors in them. CJ also o... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging Geez Bobby, sorry but I totally missed tuboglo's post. I am on board with the process since I use high pressure hydraulic crimpers on the cables I make; using a similar die, two crimps and trim the spades, very similar to the Cardas video, but of ... | |
| Cardas Cold Forging Thank you Bobby, you addressed my question from 4/2 about whether the enamel is removed. Can you add any more details about how they remove it prior to the cold forge process? I suspect that is not easy in the absence of tinning the wire. | |
| Cardas Cold Forging You left the e out of blue, here is the correct link;http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/ultrasonic-welding.htmThis is a pretty cool process. Here is another article;http://www.ktu.lt/lt/mokslas/zurnalai/mechanika/mechtu_65/Kuprys365.pdf | |
