| 1973 Lava Lamps and bongs! Bonging away! | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: Addenda: Newly acquired Time Windows and Son of Ampzilla connected by late 80’s Q Audio Time Stream cable! And the Speaker Lab 7’s/Bryston 3B with another 12ft pair of the Time Stream cable. Cost: 25 ft for $25 used! It looks like Cobra cable! | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: In The Year of Our Lord MMXIX we have the Hierarchy of Wire! LOL! | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: That was about 1980. TW's/Son sold and replaced with Quad 57's and Bedini 25/25. Mogami still in use! And remained so when I got the KLH Nines in 1992. The Nines/Mogami combination lasted until 2015. I lost the Mogami when I moved south that year.... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: I had Polk Cobra Cable in.1977. Cost was $40 for a pair of 20 ft. A lot more than .10 ft zip! I used it with a GAS Son driving Infinity Monitors. The Son did not blow up! Sounded excellent! Alas, I caught the upgrade bug and the Monitors/Cobra we... | |
| Using Solar battery for DAC and Pre-amp Good for you junzhang10! Nothing better than battery power for a low-current device! | |
| Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please Let me amend the above: use the Chinook to handle the cartridge eq. Put its output into the Sony and its ADC - out into the Vault. That should do it! | |
| Digitizing Vinyl; Suggestions Please Get a Bluesound Vault 2 and use your Sony as an ADC into the Vault! This has a 2TB HD, DAC and full streaming capability! And it doesn't cost much! EBay seller "jjrsellapalooza" has a new one for $825 with free shipping from Los Angeles. Once you ... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S SET Amp w/ 4-ohm 93db speakers There is an excellent review of the Yamamoto 08S in Stereopile from some years ago! Along with John Atkinson’s test report. That is where I decided I wanted one! And later reading Joe Roberts’ report on the 45 triode in Sound Practices. Plus the V... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S SET Amp w/ 4-ohm 93db speakers I recommend you contact Will and get him to build you a 45 SET like mine. It will work with your 93 db speakers as long as you can accept a limit on maximum SPL And cost half as much as those other amps! Heck, you could get two, use one per channe... | |
| Yamamoto A-08S SET Amp w/ 4-ohm 93db speakers I bought a real nice SET 45 from Will Vincent (autospec). Custom white powder coat ST70 chassis. 6C6 pentodes driving the 45’s. Rectifier is a 5V4. All USA tubes! Encron output trannies. I paid $1600 (if I remember right). A superb amp! Alas, with... | |
| Power cord recommendation for a dac? +1 zimmerma! You are one of few sane posters here! Changing a power cord is like going to a different gas station and expecting that pump hose to result in your car's mileage improving! | |
| Barometric pressure, temperature, moon phase? Music, like sex, is best enjoyed when one is in the mood for it! | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Paying £200 or £300 for new wire is a rip-off! Your money is better spent on some nice LPs! | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Just add plugs to the ends of the wires. I have been buying and trying tonearms for 40+ years. Never felt the urge or need to change the original wire! |
