| KEF 104/2 vs B&W CDM 7 SE The 104/2 is a fine speaker and better than the 15 years younger B&W but it has nearly 40 years on its back. A long time, suggesting that something would need attention. | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @timetraveler66, How can you gain experience only by reading or only guided by the advice given from an educated person? This is beyond my understanding. It does not work that way. Some call this hobby some others passion, there is a difference b... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? I am so glad that i can experiment with different things and still learn from more experienced people here. After all having learned to listen using my ears is a gift. So i suggest to deniers at least give it a honest try and if not convinced the... | |
| Source for resistors for an acoustech/sutherland phono preamp Size does not affect performance only space. Most likely you ask for 50-200ohms for mc loading. Check metal films like, takman, holco, or if you want something more expensive charcroft & vishay both z foils. A good place to check is Hifi co... | |
| Advice on a tube tester I had the 7B/U, the only one different, if i am not wrong, was the 7D/U which had an extra range (F) for higher transconductance tubes. The other difference is that the later ones had more ferrite beads attached to the wires going to the tube sock... | |

| Advice on a tube tester For checking if a tube is bad or not the tv-7 ( i had one in excellent condition), tv-10 are perfect for the job, most likely they would require calibration but are easy to maintain. For what matters most, to match tubes properly very few can do i... | |
| What's it worth to you? Some complain about audio high pricing. | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @lak if you like S022N & S032N, try (and be patient) with TCS31 (12awg), smooth with excellent detail, speed and extension. Most likely their second best (sonically) bulk pc behind DPS 4.1 (11awg). Here comes the wire quality as @cleeds poi... | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects The Mogami website spells out all the specs unlike some high end boutique cable manufacturers. Well built w/Neutrik gold connectors and no need to upgrade further. I am afraid that this is a wrong approach. Why not upgrade further, who says... | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? Whatever the moment requires, even same people can ask different things from time to time. My collection has rock, pop, classical, jazz, acid jazz, electronica, ethnic, soul/funk. New material is always welcomed. Of course the most impressive t... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? No, but like @cd318 i keep it secret from myself too! | |
| When to lube reel to reel tapes If the tapes are not shedding or sticking they should be ok, otherwise too much effort with little return to make them playable again. | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects For shorter lengths i suggest you try both and see what you like best. My experience is that both have to be of equal quality no matter what the configuration. | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? +1 on Acoustic Revive, especially power sensual 18000 if you can stretch your budget (including good quality plugs). |
