| Bybee Quantum Purifiers - Any Opinions? I do business with Jack Bybee, but other than for keeping the digital noise out of the analog via mains filters really don't like the filters finding them a band aid. Most digital can use some homogenizing so see their application, but don't like ... | |
| Why so many Hydra's for sale The unit I evaluated was the review unit used by Soundstage! so it was fully broken in.....The unit was shipped to me via air and it picked up static that took about five days to burn off, but after that it came alive.....I found it to be easily t... | |
| Audiomecca Mephisto Great information....The unit I modified was an early one and not CEC based......The one I modified had supply so small that the lights would dim when the transport started and would bear little relationship to the sound of a CEC based unit as the... | |
| High end sub for big room. Suggestions? I use some Entec L2f woofers with Rockport Syzygy speakers in a room not much smaller than yours, 16' x 24' x 8.5', but I would sure use two of them just outside the Hales....The presentation becomes about 20% larger than running the Rockports ful... | |
| Audiomecca Mephisto I don't take in mods on unfamiliar units and the reason was rammed home again this weekend as I spent seven or eight hours getting a GamuT amp to behave......That surgery was a success BTW, but the owner lives in town......I would keep after Tony ... | |
| Tube amps... what is so great about 'em Tubes are wonderful.....Measuring them you normally end up with just second and third order harmonics whereas with solid state you normally end up with higher order harmonics which comes across as brightness.....Spectral analysis actually does equ... | |
| Don't try this at home hElP I have given up on women and now keep cats as I find them easier to train.....All the women in my past have been cheap, mean and easy BTW.....Have to be careful what I say as some of my exes are in Texas.....Also, Stan sure likes your new preamp a... | |
| Don't try this at home hElP I was perusing the Techni-Tool catalog last night and found a proper set of pliers made from depleted uranium which would not leave marks on the RCAs at all and as a bonus the RCAs will now glow and insertion in the dark confines behind equipment ... | |
| Don't try this at home hElP Wesson oil and grain alcohol parties reminds me of my college days of thirty years ago.....See the Mothra website www.mothraresearch.com for complete details as believe that they sell the proper Canola oil from virgin Eurasian canolas... | |
| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC I designed what is now called the Asylum cord twenty years ago....I pay a Royalty to Mike Vans Evers for his electrical design of the line filters for all units sold by TG Audio.....The Asylum cord is the one to use with the PLC if you want warmth... | |
| Don't try this at home hElP After years of research I have found that 100% cotton "T" shirts work best and the black dye contained in AC-DC and Blind Pig Records "T" shirts to sound much better than all others....I would suggest a bit of triple Virgin olive oil be used on th... | |
| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Something you might be aware of is that the capacitor based line filters are normally bright as the devil for about five days even if unplugged for a few seconds....If you want to try different power cords on the unit then allow the time or you wi... | |
| balanced are they worth it? If the gear is truly balanced then you null out the second harmonic using balanced cables, but little of the gear with balanced connectors is truly balanced. Given a clean ground single ended wires will perform as well as balanced wires in the bul... | |
| Anyone tried Voodoo or TG Audio PCs? Used cord buyers should be aware that there are about 6,000 TG power cords out there as we have been around since 1984. The HSR series was introduced about seven years ago and any of these can be updated to the latest configuration, Gen II, for $2... | |
| Audiomecca Mephisto The Mephisto is lacking in pace, dynamics and that sort of thing.....Pretty doesn't tell you how drunk the players are and the mods will get you most of the way there in terms of pace and immediacy.....G&D used to charge about $650 for the who... |
