| SIlver Cable Experiences? Lawrencegrac@msn.com you got it....Need some 225w 8r load resistors and a cheap 100wpc receiver, put it on a rock station, measure 4v av. out at the resistors and go away for a month.....Put a fan on the receiver as it will get hot......I do somet... | |
| SIlver Cable Experiences? I recall buying about 5 figures worth of 16ga 99.99 silver wire, custom printed heatshrink and connectors and then at about 42 days of 24/7, but maybe 5 hours of normal listening levels a day the speaker wire started to break windows from two bloc... | |
| Best amp for 5k used? SS or Tube I just finished up some monos from Parasound and you might want to give them a listen before you buy used....These retail for 6K/pr and are the best we can do with a very powerful amp (400w and 130a current), but more importantly in your case they... | |
| Static from Aesthetix phono stage when tt not on Likely the Io and if in both channels it is probably a power supply tube unless you are running two supplies as Albert does.....It sure wouldn't hurt to get the ICs up off the floor either.....I used to have four Rockports in my neighborhood inclu... | |
| What is this interconnect? Sonoran? They made something like this eight or nine years ago..... | |
| Dialectric grease any thoughts First you have to kill a chicken......Why would anyone want to put dielectric grease on electrical connectors other than to tame a problem in the design as it will roll off the highs? | |
| Right Angle Power Cord's Schurter makes two right angle IECs, but just one of them will fit under the Levinson gear.....Furutech is a good connector with the 15a coming apart like the 20a clamshell most make.....They sure aren't afraid to charge for them is about all I wi... | |
| Right Angle Power Cord's A low inductance/high capacitance power cord will do wonders for the Levinson which uses a toroid tranny as I recall......This is due to capacitive coupling between primaries and secondaries on toroids as all the high frequency crap is passed righ... | |
| Right Angle Power Cord's Your two arguments make no sense whatsoever.......They should make room for the IEC and the shorter signal paths that we hook yards of input and output wire onto?.........Do a search on Audio Asylum as some cords make a significant difference used... | |
| Right Angle Power Cord's I would just get rid of the Levinson as if the engineering of the IEC connector is that bad to hide it under the unit just think what a mess they have made of the rest of it! That probably isn't an option so be advised that all the accessory power... | |
| shielded cables & IC's or not? Audioengr you forgot some, but that is OK....My suggestion is to go unshielded and take them to the Fuddruckers off Broadway in the alley and put them in the bottom of a bucket of beer until you finish up the longnecks to treat them cryogenically ... | |
| Which SS preamps will compete w/ tubes? At $2,500 you will not find SS that will compete with tubes.... | |
| What causes "cupped hands"? If you have the speakers 10' apart and are sitting 9' from them you are too close to the speakers or they are too far apart.....Think in terms of X x 1 wide and X x 1.15 to your ears........Something else that might be causing this is cable break-... | |
| Vinyl Old timers: HK's and Rabco's Hasn't been that long ago (13 years ago) I had a Shreve modified Rabco SL8-E.....I had an SL-8 for a while until David built the one with the electric cuing for me....Had them on a Goldmund Studio Mk IV and it was an awesome combination as both at... | |
| From tubes to solid state Fletchj where were you fifteen years ago? If I had been able to get those Sylvanias I probably wouldn't have hooked up with Curl to do SS amps, preamps and the like.... |
