| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s @ypingping- Apparently, that post contained too much fact for the, "moderators"(or someone's tender feelings). Obviously, the truth regarding Science/Physics just doesn't wash in these threads. I suppose this will be deleted as well, though i... | |
| TUBE ADAPTER for 5670/2C51/396a to 6922/6DJ8/ECC88 ? Here’s one with gold plating. (https://www.amazon.com/FidgetKute-Plated-WE396A-Instead-Adapter/dp/B07KYJWTJJ) I suppose, if there’s a ceramic bodied/gold-plated contact one available, that might be better. Were I attempting to use a different pin ... | |
| Please Help Me!! @glennewdick- Hopefully, being helpful will never go out of style, even if in response to a joke. You did increase the thread’s fun! | |
| Please Help Me!! @geeqner- Some of that older, "esoteric" stuff, is very hard to improve upon, if upgraded. Some would be really surprised, at what one can accomplish(SQ-wise) with $1500, thoughtful choices, a soldering iron and a few carefully selected passive co... | |
| Please Help Me!! Just keep in mind; that last rant/screed came from one(geeqner) that’s hesitant to spend ANY money, to upgrade from using an 80’s NAD receiver’s preamp and phono sections. I’ll bet Radio Shack WAS their favorite hangout! | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan +1 for Emerald Physics, BUT- ask them to pack more securely, than they do for domestic shipping. That’s after four decades of owning planars(Acoustat and Magnepan). | |
| Please Help Me!! What’s ever funnier: glennewdick took it SERIOUSLY(HILARIOUS)! | |
| Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions @rjamilla- Yeah, the Safety Raiser can be a pain to position, far as holding the height you want, then trying to set the horizontal while tightening the screw. I stretched a tiny O-ring around the body, to hold the vertical adjustment, which massi... | |
| Anyone use auto lifters? Opinions My first Safety Raiser(AT6006) lasted 30+ years, before it began lifting too quickly(too speedily/not prematurely). That’s a lot of years, in which I enjoyed end-of-record-peace-of-mind, via it’s very gentle lifting habits. Not bad for the $19.95 ... | |
| Have you been surprised by power cable changes? s KUDOS, on the expansion of your knowledge base and enhanced music reproduction/enjoyment. Never stop experimenting/learning! | |
| Power cables for vintage MC75 mono amps The last, "vintage" amp that I modded, was an ST-70. I found that the PC could be upgraded, without having to butcher the chassis. At that time, Zu’s Birth was an inexpensive and small(3/8" - 9.5mm) power cable, that easily fit through the origina... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund Ever notice: whenever you’ve found a component(passive or active), tweak, room treatment, cable, or ANYTHING that enhances your musical pleasure, or- provides an experience that brings you closer to the original recorded event(even if YOU did the ... | |
| Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund I’ve had Duelund’s Cast PIO/Cu, as coupling caps in my Cary monoblocks, for the past few years and loving the presentation/realism. Guess I’ll now have to try their Cast-Cu(Sn) Loudspeaker caps, in my Emerald Physics speakers. Thanks, pal. | |
| What were some of your early Hi-End audio gear/influences? Lots of live music in my early(formative) years, then- the first Dynaco kits, as a teen(thank you, David Hafler). | |
| Making a product to sell and the need for modernity "....... the audio rags, principally The Absolute Sound, started pushing imaging at the expense of tone." ???? What I recall and embraced, is some publications that, "pushed" realism(comparing what’s reproduced, to the sound of actual acoustic mus... |
