| Review: Tel Wire Cord Tel Wire Cord Power cord allow me to throw my $.02 in:i find this to be an excellent power cord for line level components...high draw amps might need a bigger gauge wire to accomodate more current requirements (as seen in ozzy's impressions w/ the pass amp), but the cord ... | |
| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA i've not come across read or transport failure issues w/ the original transport in the CDSA, and am getting the new transport in a week or so.has anyone else had read or transport failures w/ the CDSA? i'm curious if this is a real issue or not.

| Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA i won't comment on the cary as i've not heard it. but let me chime in on the following:1) i covered EMM's build quality in my review on dagogo. that said, i've never had a problem, its just not built to the same standards as esoteric or wadia. its... | |
| speakers for 15' by 12' listening room? before you buy speakers, buy room treatments (bass traps & panels). see my room pics, and fwiw those who come to my room never state that the WP6s are too big / overpowering for the 15*11 room i'm in. | |
| Belles 350a reference fireworks fwiw, i doubt the soft start would impact the cause of the failure; all the soft start does is keep the amp from tripping your circuit breaker at turn-on. the service is now required, might as well get the soft start while its in. sorry for your t... | |
| Review: Silver Circle Audio PP1 v 3.0 high current AC filter maybe you have good power to begin with (always a possibility); i've never owned a component that didn't benefit from AC conditioning (amps require passive conditioning, but front end does well on the PP1). i gather the 581 is the ticket these day... | |
| Review: Silver Circle Audio PP1 v 3.0 high current AC filter i'd contact the mfg, as the early units may have been without the soft start circuit (mine has one, and i never had that problem). i'm not surprised the 3.0 doesn't work for amps; seldom do active conditioners. but FWIW i gather Silver Circle is w... | |

| What's the best, or your fave Johnny Cash song? i really like his covers of tom waits "down there by the train" and danzig's "13"of his own, rowboat is a great track, as is cocaine blues and sunday morning...rc | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? all of you dogging on cap't kirk are crazy. watching him sing "rocket man" at the oscars back in the 70s (i saw it for the first time recently on youtube, and recommed you look it up) and his rendition was one of the highlights of my life. has to ... | |
| Why spend megabucks on a tuner? my fave radio station (KTRU 91.7 in houston) offers both a digital stream and FM. when i tried PC streamed to the squeezebox, using the wadia 861se as a DAC, i found the kenwood was miles ahead.other digital stations sounded very satisfying, but s... | |
| Angriest Lyric/Vocal angry begins with Slayer. old metallica, black sabbath get honorable mentions. but really, didn't it all start w/ pete townsend: "hope i die before i get old"?also, check out modest mouse; not so much the lyrics as the delivery by isaac brock, whi... | |
| new WHo Amazing Journey DVD - analog galore agreed, the who was the chemistry between the 4. nothing they did after that ever captured the preternatural ability to be in the groove that they exhibited together...just listen to isle of wight and you'll see...they should've stopped after moon... | |
| Active Crossover Recommendations hi greg, so if i understand correctly, this is 6db per octave, yes?and, if the high freqency amp had a gain of 20db, and the subwoofer amp had a gain of 10db, then "a" would be 2, and pi would be 3.1417, correct?the cap would of course go in serie... | |
| Active Crossover Recommendations does anyone have the equation for calculating required capacitance for use in a crossover (given amplifier input impedance)? this thread stalled just when it got handy...tia |
