| Power up my Cary tube integrated? If you live in a cold climate, and the unit is not stored in a heated facility: let it reach room temps first. Your tubes will love you for it. | |
| 6550 tubes Second on the Winged 'C' 6550s, from Upscale. It's hard to beat Kevin's testing & matching. I used to buy his NOS Sylvanias, but they've been gone for a few years now. | |
| Converting old amp to IEC power receptacle? What Timrhu said +1. Get rid of that bottleneck with better wire. Replacing the fuses with HI-FI Tuning or Synergistic Research will make a difference too(if you haven't already). | |
| Are Rodgers as good as advertise?? Can't say as I do. I'm in Indianapolis, IN. Try calling Weinhart Design(310-472-8880), in L.A. They may know of someone in your area. | |
| Are Rodgers as good as advertise?? I wonder of what material those Moldovian cabinets are built? Voidless birch plywood(.47" thickness), heavily braced at all joints, was a favorite of the BBC. Some plywoods were disallowed, because of the colorations they caused. | |

| Power supply improvement for CD player Digital circuits(anywhere in your house) will generally cause noise(high freq interference) on your AC, so- isolating them is a good call. Turning anything digital off, while listening to analog, is also beneficial. The MIT AC1 is an excellent cor... | |
| Power supply improvement for CD player MR P- I missed your post(12-9). Sorry! I'm in Indianpolis, IN. The mods would require someone that is adept at desoldering and soldering. The components that would be replaced are easily accessed, on your equipment. Where are you located? | |
| Power supply improvement for CD player Mr P- As a possible, low-cost experiment, contact The Cable Company and see if they have a sample of this PC: (http://www.thecableco.com/Product/Power-Oval-10) If so- it should cost around $30.00 to audition, in your system. Synergistic Research o... | |
| Power supply improvement for CD player Your statement regarding the, "ultimate" power cord being found a Home Depot, has me wondering if you actually believe research has been static since your schooling, back in the day. I would think these guys(or their customers) might take issue: (... | |
