| #8 AWG spade connectors?? Thanks for the Furez suggestion/link guys. Just ordered 2 pairs of the SP8-SB50NP spades. Going to compare them to the MIT iconn's. | |
| #8 AWG spade connectors?? I just terminated some 10 gauge wires with spade connectors and had room to spare in the barrel. I used MIT iconn Economy Spade connectors and crimped the connections but one could also solder. They are also angled but not 45 degrees and I was abl... | |
| Similar sound characteractics to MIT cables? Being a long time MIT bi-wire speaker cable user in numerous systems although not top of the line MIT speaker cables, I've found consistently excellent results with using active shielded IC's on the front end components such as AQ with their DBS o... | |
| Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE ac receptacle To burn the outlet in the quickest, put it on the heaviest load you have. For example I installed mine in a PS Audio UO and ran my plasma TV from the UO for 100 hours.As for outlets themselves, I settled on the Oyaide R0 installed in a WPC as the ... | |
| How old are your speakers The speakers in my main rig are going on 13 years now and they would be the Alon Lotus mk ll's with AlNiCo tweeter upgrades. I've gone thru 2 woofer rebuilds but since they're the 14 ohm option woofers that is something that must be rebuilt and no... | |
| Recently heard the Ocos speaker cable. .. I fondly remember the Ocos cables. They were my first experience with high end speaker cables and they certainly were much better than the Radio Shack speaker cable I was using. Brought them home for a trial and hooked them up to my Fried Beta's a... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Kim Mitchell "Go for Soda" is one that sounds great and also sounds very clean when the gas pedal is mashed!! | |
| MIT continued experience Over the years, I've always found a consistent synergy with MIT cables and AQ cables when used together. I mainly use AQ DBS interconnects with MIT Shotgun speaker cables. I have stepped up to the MIT Oracle V3.2 IC's from my preamp to amp in the ... | |
| Repair a Rel Britannia B-3? Having repaired two REL subs myself, a Stadium lll and a Strata lll, I'm fairly certain the B3 has a very similar amplifier PCB judging from the B3 description in the operators manual. There are three(3) fuses that need to be checked on your B3. T... | |
| Wanted: Alon Thunderbolt subwoofer Don't see Thunderbolts come up for sale very often but I've been using REL subs for quite a few years with my Alon's/Nola's with terrific results.You may also want to consider doing the woofer low-pass x-over upgrade on your Alon 1's. I just did t... | |
| REL Magic Hi Pakito,Yes fuse directionality should be explored by everyone who has taken the time to upgrade their fuses and with high resolution fuses even more so. The reason I bump my fuse ratings up slightly is that since most high end fuses are on the ... | |
| REL Magic "I'd like to try the SR20 fuses on my REL B1, you mean the fuse 5 Amperes but there are two others on the main map n I have also replaced for best results, or should I replace only one of 5 amperes?"Hi Pakito, for ultimate performance gains one sh... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? That would have to be the Krell KAV-300i. Was a long-time Stereophile subscriber and read a "Firmly Recommended" review in Stereophile in 1996. Going from all the rave reviews that Stereophile gave to Krell products, I decided to go out and buy on... | |

| currently own a vpi scout, looking to upgrade Since you have a well thought out system to begin with, I would highly recommend a motor controller for your VPI. I implemented a Walker motor controller on my Scout and the positive attributes are undeniable, well worth the asking price. |
