| Driven to Tears I also agree with Tvad and MrT.I was driven to tears in 1973 listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" on a portable cassette player,and the player was about as much money as the tape.Course I was in Morocco at the time so that may have had an influenc... | |
| Power Cord Revelation More on the 'Fusion Audio' power cords.Seems most responses are about these great power cords.After buying like about 30 different cords over the last 5 years, I found out that they all do different things to your system.Just like diferent capacit... | |
| What's up with the 'Piano' gloss???? My Wilson Benesch Actll's are beautiful and great WAF with the Carbon Fibre sides, Cherrywood tops and fronts.However, I love 'Piano' Black and will be tops on my list when I get hankering to change speakers.The PITA won't be an issue. | |
| Audio Aero Capitole - 6021W subminiature tube ?? I watched 'Globe Audio' change the tubes on my MKI a few years back.Even I was nervous just watching.Not recommended that you try changing yourself.They are soldered in and you can fry the board in a second and then the tears.FWIW. | |
| joy killing refridgerator Got so mad at mine I would unplug it.Drove me nuts!Not so nice when I forgot to plug it back in a few times.So I bought the quietest one I could find an 'LG'.Fours years old and still can't tell whether its on or off.Silence is Bliss ! Still can't... | |
| Audio Aero Prestige new trans cannot read cd/sac In my experience the Prestige is very critical of clean discs, no marks,scratches, or other issues.The Transport Laser is extremely sensitive.Also don't forget to remove the disc when not playing.The transport will keep running and the laser will ... | |
| Best sounding cd in your collection 1) Vocals - hard to beat. Alison Krauss -"Forget About It" Shawn Colvin - "Live at '88"2) Soundstage-pulled this one out last week,last time I heard it sound this good, I was on something. Pink Floyd - " Umma Gumma "3) Lows and Highs- Too many to ... | |
| what is the "best sounding" component ? I don't get it either.It's like "World's Best Coffee" .......according to who? | |
| REALITY CABLES ? Updates,?I've had the speaker cables for over 2 years.Have not found a reason to upgrade yet.I've owned too many expensive cables.I am really content with these and have no desire to change at this time.Cheers,PeterD | |
| HiFI Fuses ? Well since I am the last entry ,I'll give the fuses thread another crack. After some cabling changes that worked out very nicely ,I figured I would give the fuses a go again and 'never say never' they work out very well with this configuration.So ... | |
| Audio Aero 24/192 comparision questions 1) I have not heard the Ayre or RA.$3,000 gives you a lot to work with,however.The MKI is a great player and it is also a great preamp with handy inputs and my setup is similar to Unclejeff.As far as outputs I use the XLR to the amp and RCA to the... | |
| HiFI Fuses ? I have tried the HI FI tuning fuses in my Audio Aero Capitole MKIISE and my Audio Aero Trans Trac tube amp.While they do make the sound more clear and cleaner sounding in my system it was too much and reduced the warmth and beauty of the music int... | |
| Home made cable lifters. Buy a 3 foot piece of 1/8" or 3/16" hard wood dowel about a buck or so.Cut it into say pieces 4-5 inches long.Take 3 pieces make a teepee shape triangle,tie together with a thin strip of tape with about 1-1 1/2" above and 3" below and viola.Spread... | |
| Power Cord Suggestion for Audio Aero Capitole The Capitole is wired with "Nirvana".Try a "Nirvana PC-plus" power cord.They are very reasonably priced.I think it is a good match with my MKII .A million other cables to try.Could find some better ? Have fun. | |
| Review: Xtreme AV LLC Liquid Resolution Tweak A Tweak is a Tweak is a Tweak ,Right ?Some tweaks work some of times on some of the systems as like Equipment Isolation,Line Conditioners,and all.Not so with this tweak.This stuff is amazing!!For the price of a few cd's.One application is all that... |
