| So you're an audiophile - are you also a musician? I play guitar, first rock and since college folk, have sung in a number of folk groups and now sing in a number of choirs and small groups, principally classical but some pop and barbershop. | |
| HMS TPO MATCH cables I too have left mine on zero. You might get some suggestions from the manufacturer if you give the output and input impedances of the items you're connecting. Excellent cables overall, give up very little to the much higher priced cables in my sys... | |
| How good is 8000 dollar Sony Dac transport from 89 I'd expect the DAC to be dated, but one thing about the early Sony top of the line was that there apparently was an excellent interface between the units that was way ahead of its time (sort of an I2S, I think). Might not sound too bad for the rig... | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Mine apparently arrived today in the office (I'm out of the country till Sunday); can hardly wait to get them installed. Thanks Albert! | |
| Innersound Isis See Vtvu, I talked him out of it!! | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 Thanks again, Albert, and happy holiday! | |
| How long....Silver....How Long? I've seen posts from Bob Crump in the past on this--his point is that if the cables were shipped via air, there would be a static electricity buildup which could affect the performance and require a bit of break-in. He suggested spraying them with... | |
| Looking for Silent Fan Cooling f my ARC Tube AMP That's what it says in my Jadis manual as well. However, ARC does use fans in some of its models (I think my M-300/Classic 150s had them; that I can't recall entirely will testify that their noise was not intrusive), and I believe they make them f... | |
| To preamp or not to preamp?...that is the question I agree with Twl, an analog volume control is preferable to digital, as unless you run the digital volume with little or no attenuation (some Wadia models such as the 860 and 861 have an internal adjustment in the unit to enable you to do this mor... | |
| Jadis Orchestra, who has heard them? I know that Trelja owns a Reference and is happy with it, you might check his past threads, particularly the Jadis Fidelity thread, I think, to get his descriptions and impressions. | |
| Sony 777 as a transport? My SCD777ES worked fine as a transport with my Audio Logic, although it is not as good-sounding to me as my Forsell, which has a more analogue-like sound (huge soundstage, bloom around instruments)--hence, I still use the Forsell. Difference was n... | |
| Alternatives to Dunlavy speakers? In addition to the above, if you're not adverse to buying from a manufacturer without a US distributor, you could try Duntech, very similar designs, at least in their Classic series (many of their designs were originally John Dunlavy's while he wa... | |
| Help finding Audiogon sellers product. Contact Vtvu; the box houses the Zero Autoformer (or whatever) transformer, and works great with OTL amps. Vinh uses these boxes for his and I believe can help you with getting them. | |
| Seeing the light I'm skeptical but open to the idea that perhaps the light might indeed do something, although I can't see a component upgrade's worth of difference--but what frosts me is selling a $15-20 light bulb for $50 (plus, if you read the link, to get the ... | |
| Seeing the light Amen, Lugnut. Twl, it'll help your vinyl if you have trouble putting the stylus on the record, I'd imagine. |
