| I lost an m7 set screw. What do I do? Once again I'll point to McMaster-Carr. See my link above. Pretty much every kind of set screw. You should be able to get precisely what you need. No rigging, no fab work. Their shipping is often alarmingly fast. Ordered a couple of trinkets from... | |
| Bass audition for your system.... My list was not intended to "impress".The Saint-Saenz symphony I'm referring to, at least my recording, was produced under extremely tight circumstance where the organ and church were selected to approximate the original debut of the symphony and ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I have a fair working understanding of placebo effect as a physician and as a clinical trials assistant prior to that. And I agree with you that the subject is complex. A lot of people are also unaware of the corollary to placebo which is the noce... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @elizabeth I am glad to hear you admit that. Especially from someone experienced as you and from one who also, according to your previous posts, is very open minded about tweaks and improvements.That mirrors my (limited) experience as well.Now, yo... | |
| Which power cords should I look at? @stereo5 , is the dead quiet in your system a function of the power cables? Is that a good test of one's power supply quality? I also have a tube pre-amp. | |
| Bass audition for your system.... Saint-Saenz organ symphony. Towards the end when the organ kicks in. I would say a good system should rattle your guts with that one but the bass should still sound like an organ note and not just a wave.Also, for precise, well recorded and produc... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it You can also sell a late model Schiit on eBay. There aren't many on there and people buy them at almost 'new' prices.@mzkmxcv-can you tell us why Schiit's flagship isn't as good as the ones you mentioned and what your experience is with the Yggdra... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @mrdecibel : " I will avoid and ignore them whenever I can"That seems disproportionate to the issue at hand. Someone who will never believe in the benefits of power cords may share other mutual beliefs and experiences and may also have something ... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound mrdecibel,The reference to my old house wiring was intended as humor. Sorry if it fell flat.But in all seriousness, presuming power cables are an enhancement item, will that still work when your house system is crap? Or maybe it would make more of... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound yang_hong, for future reference, when geoffkait says "no offense" you can count on the fact that offense is intended. Also, if he doesn't say "no offense" it is still safe to assume offense is intended.I wonder about this Romex stuff. My house is ... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? How about Gary Clark, Jr? He's been around a little while but you won't hear him on many radio stations. Very hard to put him in a box. Amazing Hendrix like rock guitarist and on his debut album Blak & Blu there are a couple of very hard rocki... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Led Zeppelin I - CD | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? I think you can be a collector without being an audiophile or a music lover. Collecting often takes on its own reason to exist. What is collected can become secondary to the collecting or the collection.I think you can be an audiophile without bei... | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound @mkgus: "Just so we’re on the same page, just because there is no plausible explanation doesn’t mean the effect doesn’t exist."I agree completely. But lack of a plausible explanation remains a valid reason for questioning the effect. Especially si... | |
| Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it Also remember that there are several iterations of the BiFrost as it is upgradeable. There is a multibit version too.I've heard that the Modi Multibit sounds better than the Bifrost non-multibit.I have no experience with any of those. |
