| 20 Amp Lines w/separate ground Abstract7. Love the setup! I just wired my house with 4 dedicated lines, hubbels, star ground etc. The local stereo shop folks thought it was the wildest thing they had ever heard of (small town stereo store don't cha know). Reading your post make... | |
| Using cheap CD-R disc on Audio recorder My Harmon Kardon records on SOME computer (DATA) only CDR's. I have used imations and sometime they work, and the I get a batch that doesn't!? Anyone got the answer to this one? I have one of the first CDR 2's HK put out. I have found that really ... | |
| Best blank CD-R Dear Justlisten, you couldn't be more right! I Read your comments and had to laugh! Thanks to all you folks for the input. Ejlif I saw that post RE: Ampex gold, and like you haven't been able to find them. From the feedback above I doubt I will co... | |
| The best CD Player for the money The girlfriend even thinks the Wadia860 is cool. I am one of the 30+ members of this communtiy. I find that if the girlfriend can't hear the improvement ( women do have a better sense of tonal discrimination) I am probably spending money on stuff ... | |
| I need help choosing interconnects/wires Gents, I have tried the mapleshade, homegrown audion lace etc. I find that the build quality, despite best efforts, is far inferior to stealth ( interlinkhouse.com) cables. I used to be one of the folks that thought IC cables were overpriced and d... | |
| I need help choosing interconnects/wires One word....Interlinkhouse.com.... Sergui has provided me with some of the finest, moderately priced IC's I've ever heard! There is a lot of negative reviews in the forums regarding his stuff. Most of these are from folks using bottom of the line ... | |
| Power/Line conditioner Regarding brown outs. I doubt the system I put in would help you much. | |
| Power/Line conditioner Forget them all, go with dedicated lines. I've had the gammet of "conditioners" (excepting the kilo$ PS audio). Some improvement, but not worth the cash. I had the good fortune to have a 400amp main in my house. I had my electrician put in 4 40amp... | |
| spades vs. bananas I agree with Mikec. Bannanas are covenient when swithing out speaker but I always have some sort of problem with them. I swithed to spades since now my system is pretty stable, and convenience isn't needed. For me Bare wires always end up groundin... | |
| Hospital Grade Wall Outlets I bought some TWEAKED Hospital grade outlets! I bought some hospital grade outlets from Sergui ( interlinkhouse.com) He had them reworked. He had them silver plated and then gold plated. His price was great! unfortuntely I haven't install them yet... | |
| Can I connect speaker wire this way...? Probably depends on your wires!!!! Monster cables (e.i. multiple strands of unshielded wire) will probably sound the same with or withou good connectors. If you are talking about GOOD speaker wire ( multiple strands of INSULATED wire) things may b... | |
| DVD w DAC or NEW CD PLAYER??? Upgrade your DAC!!! A great transport is just that! One of the problems i've encountered is trying to buy a great CD player and save the $$$ that separates demand. The built in DAC's seem to always be the weak point in these players. If you have i... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Actually I found thin wire to greatly improve my bass response! Crazy isn't it!! I guess the best way to find what you like is to audition various ones out there till you find what YOU like!!!! It's a sickness, don't ya know, this quest for audio ... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Galliane, Just checked home grown's site again. They use 22g wire, similar to the light star audio cables that used to be on audigon. This in my opion is way too big. Remeber the signal you are transmitting is tiny so they wire can be extremely sm... | |
| Silver cables - Great price!! Gallaine..I forgot one thing! You are using Sergui's ETS cables, and I have found these less than impressive. Too bright for my tastes, but a good price when compared to comparable cables. Remeber ETS means something like enter the silver, they ar... |
