| Best copper interconnect cables Shasta & Rgd,Do you own only the interconnect or speaker cables as well? I ask, since I'm very interested in Chimera's speaker cables, but I've looked in vain for any user feedback on the speaker cables. Many people applaud the ICs, but little... | |
| Attention LP12 Valhalla owners Try Accent on Music in Mt. Kisco NY. I've bought many LP12 parts from them, and there has never been an issue with availability or willingness. Good listening,-R. | |
| Kimber 8TC bi-wire opinions... I completely agree with the above assessment of the 8TC vs the Goertz/Alpha Core - the 8TC is very good cable, but the Goertz is that much better for about the same money. Again, as with all cables, this is a totally subjective opinion and may or ... | |
| Berning EA-230 I have a pair of them wired as 60W monoblocks. I think they're great, but then again, I own a TF-12 preamp as well, and another couple Berning amps too, so I guess I'm biased. The 6JN6 output tubes are cheap and plentiful, and the amp(s) take quit... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks I think the soundtrack to "Kafka" qualifies quite nicely. Very spooky and dramatic in that eastern European kind of way. As previously mentioned, I'm also quite fond of the "Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me" soundtrack - Angelo Badalementi (sic?) got... | |
| Sagging power cable at IEC outlet - any remedies? I prefer the little plastic tripod that comes in pizza boxes to prevent the top cover from touching the surface of the pie. Chop down the legs, and slide under. Cheap (free), efficient and unobtrusive without altering the PC. Of course, my IEC is ... | |
| Why would anyone want to listen to a harpsichord? For years I've enjoyed Trevor Pinnock's performance of the Scarlatti Sonatas on the Archiv Production label, and use it as a reference CD. It is one of the few CDs I own that I never tire of, and when it falls into rotation, several weeks can go b... | |
| TV's... what does the typical audiophile have? When I do watch TV (which is somewhat rare), I use a nearly 20 year old 13" Commodore computer monitor. This was marketed as the monitor for use with the Commodore 64 and VIC-20. For a tuner I use a Sony TU-1041U broadcast-quality CATV tuner. Sour... | |
| adapter plug for burn-in on frig You can make one yourself by tracking down an older PC power cord that has a female IEC end, and chopping off the male IEC end and attaching a standard AC jack. Older IBMs used to come with these as the monitor used to be powered off the power sup... | |

| Favorite Ella Recordings Don't know if they're all on CD (probably not, but at least some of the Ella & Louis is), but my favorite Ella:Ella & Louie on VerveElla & Louie Again, again on VerveElla Fitzgerald and Joe Pass on Pablo (any record is stunning)Ella Fi... | |
| Review: Argent Audio Pursang Interconnect I'm curious as to which you (all) felt made a greater difference, the interconnects or the speaker cables? I might add that I have been an enthusiastic user of the Jaden Signature IC for the past year or so, and couldn't imagine going back to much... |
