| At what freq. does sound become non-directional? I can turn off my main amps and sit there listening to my two Entec woofers imaging all over the place below the 100hz crossover.....Other than moogs and organs not much information below 50hz I want to listen to, but it adds space to the presenta... | |
| best way to break in phono cable That will work Musicdoc....Get yourself some RCA females at Radio Shack or whatever is convenient and solder a 5K resistor across the terminals to act as a load as well and you've got it! | |
| Power strip manufacturers? Leo, lots of folks make these and some are pretty fancy and expensive. ESP, NBS, TG Audio and I'm sure others make units with four duplexes.....Noisetrapper used to make a really nice one that was fairy cheap at under $200 that could be rebuilt in... | |
| Lyra Helikon Thomasheisig, if I can ever get my Clavis DC to wear out I will go with the SL in my Rockport into a Vendetta SCP2-T.....The Clavis DC is going to be four years old in March which is setting some sort of record according to Carr and Perkins both..... | |
| Superb PHONO Preamp ? Oops, make that Jim White in lieu of Jim Smith.....Bob Crump | |
| best way to break in phono cable Stephen, I put that Granite CD on my Rockport table and it kept skipping :-) Best think to do it make up an adapter for the cartridge clips and run a tuner or CD player through it for thirty days into a nice 5K load at the other end.......Funny ho... | |
| Superb PHONO Preamp ? David, it was about time to tidy up around there! :) I have heard the preamp you are using (I built it) and maybe I imagine my prespective is a more than a bit tainted, but brand new and dead cold your unit beat the absolute tar out of my fully up... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Jallen, sorry you had problems with my methods, but this is as close as I could get given what I had available to me.....Incidentally, polyurethane is enamel and no additional dielectric is necessary as this is commonly referred to as "magnet" wir... | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Ral, the differences you have found between silver and copper ICs tend to blur once both are treated to a month long treatment on a MOBIE which runs a 1K 15v square wave through the ICs into a 5K load.....I have done comparisons of solid core silv... | |
| Anyone ever tried Spectral amps with non-Spectral Some of the Spectral amps have very low input impedance (10K) and make most tube preamps angry.....They have an amp that has 100K input impedance, but the gain is only about 22db as opposed to the standard 28db, but their preamp has the extra 6db ... | |
| A question concerning ethics I think that it would make sense to have a code after each person's name like Audio Asylum as there is way too much promotion going on over here......I think it would give a different perspective on some posts as I know I for one don't like much o... | |
| Power SWITCH source? Also: 10AWG vs 83803? Subaruguru, The reason behind the cheap 10ga Romex is all the inductance and this is a free line filter....Sounds like you found a good switch! | |
| Anyone made the "Bob Crump" home-made powercord? Yep, I have built my share of these as it is what led me on the road to ruin twenty years ago....The cord is cheap, fast and easy to build. Up until about five years ago few commercial cords could compete with the recipe now known as the Asylum co... | |
| Absolute Power Cords Whose heard them I thought it best to mention I build power cords commercially so folks can take my criticism with a grain of salt if they choose to.......I own TG Audio, CTC Builders and DDR Mfg and build all manner of wires, accessories, preamps, amps, DACs and ... | |
| Absolute Power Cords Whose heard them Other than the lack of depth, space and air the Absolute sounded dirty here......The Wonderful cord which Parasound distributed for $25 ate it, was beaten by the DIY Audio's Asylum Cord which was in turn beaten by the commercial cords I build........ |
