| Parasound JC2 compatibility with Quicksilver v4's Meaning the dealer is afraid you will not be happy because your preamp is not going to let the QS sing. And if you are not happy, his business suffers. | |
| Looking for a power cable upgrade Don't forget that dirty old copper in the walls. | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought Miltek Aurora cartridge. Warm and woody. No detail.Solid silver cables from a great guy. They just weren't as good as cheap 14 gauge mains wire.CV4004 tubes. Dull as bedamned. | |
| What's your biggest surprise in hifi? That people spend so much on cables while other parts of their rigs could be improved. | |
| Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists Geoff, living in New England we get happy when the temp gets above freezing too. As far as free sex goes however, the Puritan conservatives censor art, nevermind allowing sex, at any cost. | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Sneeze... maybe give it a pass.A cough... it happens.Coughing... stay at home you sick bastard.Blowing nose... ditto.Blowing nose like a trumpet with cloth handkerchief... turf out on street by mob. | |
| Recommendations? 2-Channel Audio System Speaker Cables and RCA Connects and Amp Power Cord You could look at making your own with Neotech UP-OCC PTFE wire from parts connections and save your money. | |
| Amp for desktop setup, low volume listening I use a class D T-Amp -- cheap and great performer. | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? You can have my pristine Quad 57s and a pair of REL subs for $25000. | |
| Be careful when dealing with Pyon Sound - John Park If what the OP says is true, the vendor lied and misrepresented his goods and did not honor his word on the terms of the sale. And he still claims .001% on their website. But why buy from Korea where you most likely have no recourse? | |
| New R2R deck announced From their blurb, it looks like they intend it to be of "audiophile standards". My guess is that it will be $5k. | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp Ha. Knowledgeable friend he have cloth ears! All tubes have their own unique sound. E.g. Sylvania 5751 Gold with grey plates sound a world away from GE black plates. I second JJS for a warmer darker sound. You will lose detail over the Teles though. | |
| UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable I’m bumping this article (if that is okay) as there are a lot of folks still blowing too much money on very expensive cables.Here is a new link to the wire: http://www.partsconnexion.com/wire_hookup_neotech_cu_tef_sc.html | |
| How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers? Home made cables from PC-OCC for a few bucks a foot will save you hundreds of dollars. Wrap them in silk tape and tell your mates they cost a fortune. | |
| Used Linn sondek lp12 worth? She wants $900. Offer $800. She agrees. All set. No one gets hurt. |
