| Cables "Burn In" TG Audio Bat Guano interconnects are harvested in caves near Roswell, New Mexico and then treated for a minimum of a month before shipment in Faraday Cage bags....Just thought I would set the record straight..... | |
| Has anyone upgraded power cord connectors? The 19364 cords I made up was over twenty years ago as I brought out my first commerical power cord in 1985 which was a highly capacitive/low inductance cord, a different design altogether....I never sold 19364 cords, but that is where I started a... | |
| Laser Life? Marakanetz, The FM is so bad in Houston I sold my tuner years ago and just put a CD on repeat 24/7 to have something playing all the time....I got 61,000 hours out of the first laser which is pretty good service..... | |
| Laser Life? Just replaced the laser in my Pioneer PD-103 mechanism that G&D Transforms used in their UTP-1 transport after seven years of 24/7 use......Took almost half an hour and cost about $60......It started mistracking is all.....Never did clean it B... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase I sure get a lot of check no. 101s in payment for preamps :-) Had a customer who had to buy his wife a Harley as he bought a preamp.... | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Mes used Eidolons with the Accuphase 50s as monoblocks........The speaker needs current to control the woofer and suggest SS over tubes as Mes had ACR Ref 300 Mk IIs on them as well and settled for the Accuphase.... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole Asa, I wondered about that as well as I did the work on my digital system using my turntable as a reference and have gotten it pretty darned close, but have been messing with the DAC and transport since 1994. I have run out of things to do and it ... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole I gave up trying to find a perfect player and will likely have to build one....No problems with the Lindemann driving the 10K pots in Fred's preamp, the problem is the Audio Aero's tube output section will not be happy driving 10K as don't believe... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole OK, I'll be brave :-) Haven't heard the DCS gear in a couple of years, but it was mechanical sounding to me then compared with the phono in the same system....The AA is musical as the devil, but has a smaller stage and isn't as dynamic as some....... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole This thread is bothersome to me..... | |
| If i had the money..... Cdc asked about a smaller amp and I told him what we had in mind as our next project....Parasound wanted a preamp, but think I have them convinced that the world didn't need another 3-4K preamp, but needed a really good CDP with some preamp functi... | |
| If i had the money..... Tok2000, I certainly agree as, other than S/N, spectral analysis and shipping weight (for when it breaks) most of the specs don't mean much.....I don't deal with these, but my partner sure does going on about higher order odd harmonics big time...... | |
| If i had the money..... Voicing is easy, just parts choices based upon twenty-five years of playing with various parts....I keep a journal of what various parts do in various parts of a circuit as most resistors measure pretty much the same and they all sound different i... | |
| If i had the money..... Our next project for Parasound will likely be CDP with some preamp functions.....The JC-1 was an experiment for Parasound and it appears to have worked well.....They have had all the amps engineered by Curl and they are all pretty much the same wi... |
