| DIY clock upgrade? A clock makes the biggest difference in the transport. However, with the surface mount components on the Sony boards, putting one in yourself is not a trivial task.Be warned.Bob | |
| Cable Management Cable management, i.e. making them neat and tidy one next to the other, is actually not conducive to good sound. Basically you don't want any cable running parallel to any other. You expecially want to separate power cables from anything carrying ... | |
| Digital Output, Optical or Conventional Coaxial? I was using Optical on my DAC, because it did sound better than the coax in on the DAC. This should not be the case - in fact it should be the other way round.I then picked up a pulse transformer made for digital lines and put it on the RCA input ... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" Jere's another thought that may help you understand this concept I'm proposing. For the most part we see the same people posting on these forums. We see the same faces at our local audio get-togethers. That's great, and I love to share this hobby ... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" When you go here ...http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.plAnd click on "Recent Discourse" for any of the time periods you are taken to a listing of recent and older threads. They now show previews of what is being discussed, including recent post... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" No, they don't. There are tons of people on this site in the NY metropolitan area that do not belong or attend any of the many club meetings that I attend. Perhaps they don't like the club thing. Perhaps they are turned off by the other members. P... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" I agree, it's just that from the pictures and postings one doesn't always know that someone is in their area or if other ears are welcome to come over. This would be a way for those that are proud of their systems to invite other members over for ... | |
| AudioQuest PT6 mounting pattern When I was looking for a replacement for my old PT6 I really couldn't find much that would have been a significant improvement. I finally opted for a Moerch DP6, with a little adjuetment (quite small actually).Enjoy,Bob | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp There are preamps that are detailed and apparently transparent and dynamic, and then there are preamps that can convey the texture of the instrument's sound as well as the inner details and dynamics. I would hope that the latter is what you are lo... | |
| Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in I have a set of speakers from a now defunct compant called Just Speakers, in California. They were their "717's" with Scanspeak Kevlar dirivers and a Revalator tweeter. I guess they are almost 10 years old now. The cabinets were amazing (1.5" thic... | |

| Hagerman Cornet? There are numerous posts about the superior performance for the $$$ of the Coronet models - just search for them. You can also find lots of info on the Hagerman Circle at that other forum (which I can't directly post a link to here because the mod... | |
| Power cable for McCormack DNA-1 I tried out quite a few different cables with my DNA .5 and wrote a comparison review on another site. I can;t post a link here to that site because any time I try to do that my post never makes it to the forum. But the members at that other "circ... | |
| McCormack DNA-1 vs. DNA-125 I would strongly recommend looking for a Rev A McCormack amp. That being said, you could get an older model and have it modded, or, if you get real lucky and act real quickly, buy one already modified here at Audiogon.The difference between a Rev ... | |
| Unstable Imaging - Causes? I have a similar setup, with a wall on the right and an open space on the left. The way I fixed it was to get some GIK panels. I put one on the right wall at the first reflection point. I then took the second one and mirrored it on the left, simul... |
