| Sanders ESL Speaker Cable I tried a pair and you can find quite a few comments on the MartinLogan Owners website http://www.martinloganowners.comBasically they are made from standard Belden 8247 coax (similar to TV coax but larger) and though they are very detailed and pro... | |
| McIntosh MC275, enough power? Go with your instinct. Get a 275, it will probably be fine, but if later on you'd like a little more headroom (control at higher volumes) then get another 275 and run them in mono. That way you can have your cake now, and more cake later if you want! | |
| Do enzymes only live for 8 hours My understanding regarding the stuff I use (Bugtussel) is that it's air activated and doesn't deteriorate in storage, but I'm going to ask them specifically and see what they say. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones (Assuming) the fuse isn't in the signalpath, and if it's the correct rating as specified by the OEM, then the equipment sees the same power quality as with any other fuse of the same rating. Sonic differences you hear are the result of otological ... | |
| Best solvent to clean Vibrapod marks? Ronsonal has no effect on metal Dopogue (or did you mean the Vibrapods etched the surface?) Anyway, the 'metal' surface must have some kind of coating on it. Some of these clear coats are resin (epoxy) based and will absorb the solvents in sorboth... | |
| Best solvent to clean Vibrapod marks? Ronsonal Lighter Fluid (naphtha) the universal cleaning solvent. Won't hurt finishes, leaves no residue, even cleans NOS vacuum tubes without removing the delicate printing! Yes, it removes sorbothane (Vibrapod) markes cleanly, no problem. | |
| Preparing Litz Seaker Wire AKA Cobra SHF SP Cord John. that's correct. | |
| Preparing Litz Seaker Wire AKA Cobra SHF SP Cord John, this wire wasn't meant to be split into bass and mid/hi runs. It wouldn't have enough meat, plus the two sizes are meant to work together regardless of the band of frequences it's replroducing -- the object being timing accuracy across that ... | |
| What's an Audiophool to do? Only 5% of the time? OK, I recommend a great pair of headphones. Easy on the wife too. But please be careful, you can do damage without even realizing it at first!!-- Seriously, you'll never be happy with second-string stuff, but you won't be able... | |
| Preparing Litz Seaker Wire AKA Cobra SHF SP Cord You need a solder pot to terminate that kind of wire. The heavier green coated wire is for lo frequ, the fuzzy copper is for hi frequ. The copper wire spirals around the green and so is physically longer than the green so that the faster highs and... | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Fred, I was just curious: where did you buy those GL's?As I said, I've not had a chance to compare the GL's w/ the Penta KT88SC's (it's about 50/50 which one people like better) but I've never heard of reliability problems with the Pentas. You mig... | |
| Saw John Prine a couple weeks ago, WOW He almost hung it up forever when he got bone cancer in his jaw! I still can't believe he made such an amazing recovery, but I'm sure glad he did! I think he's 60+. | |
| More shipping damage again? Multiple boxes alone won't protect speakers. If you want to ship heavy things (speakers, amps, etc.) with confidence, use (at least) a double box and strap it (or them) to a wooden pallet. If it's really big (think $120,000 speakers) you'll need c... | |
