| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Mapman, If you enjoy your system, great. Too often people buy cars and other things to impress or please others. Questioning the value of everything and anything is a great way to go the extra mile weather you have the money to burn or not. Happy ... | |
| Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format? I miss all the Johnny Boey stories. | |

| Power Cords - Just Say Yes The 4 new power cords that I just added do make a difference right out of the box, so maybe they'll get better with some burn in, or maybe not. I do have a dedicated line, and I'm getting a Nordost QB4 box in a few more days, 8 Gold Lion tubes for... | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? I'd trade my beloved tube pre to a SS before I'd ever trade my tube amp. However, it's nice to have both. | |
| Tube rolling? Thanks Chuck. I have 8 GL's that should be here any day. BTW you have a nice Int amp. I had high speed hexfreds and cardas caps put in mine, so with the new tubes it should sound even better. | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? McPherson, yes, without question. I went from a Carver M 1.5t amp Carver C-1 preamp to a McIntosh 7270 SS amp to the Carver C-1 pre then tried both amps hooked up to my current Cary SLP98P tube pre. The pre made a difference with the SS amps and s... | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes I should be getting a Nordost Vishnu 2M power cord and 4 Nordost Blue Heaven 1M power cords tues and will hook them up 1 by 1 to hear the differences before letting them settle in. Soon I'll have a Nordost QB4 hooked up for a further experiment in... | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? I agree with Schubert. Tube amp with SS pre is better than SS amp with tube pre. I tried it. All tubes is the best. I have Lipinski L707 speakers and they sound great with my Linn Classik, but not nearly the same as my Cary tube set up. | |
| How big of a difference do amps make? The tube amp makes a huge difference, the preamp second. | |
| 12' x 14' room; $10k budget for speakers; help Lipinski L707's | |
| Power Cords - Just Say Yes Ok. I took the plunge. I just ordered 1, 2m and 4, 1M power cords to replace my stock 2M cords. Nordost Vishnu and Blue Heavens. I'll be getting the QB4 to hook them up to. 1655.00 hope it helps. I've never liked stock cords anyway. | |
| I just had my Audiogon account hacked . . . Thanks for the heads up. Fake CC companies, people claiming to be from BOA or your bank starting with dear valued customer instead of your name are all trying to cash in by getting your information. I wish I had just a small amount in an ATM accou... | |
| New level of ridiculousness There are all sorts of overpriced thing out there that don't give much or anything back in return. Just make sure you have deep pockets...and short fingers. |
