| Top resistors @ Sherod- The site wouldn't let me add this info: (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2055119.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xsylvania+vt231+vt-231&_nkw=sylvania+vt231+vt-231&_sacat=0&_from=R40) or(http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=syl... | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables OOPS! I should have said, "If you can stretch a bit for new ones, they're worth it." | |
| Taking Suggestions for New Speaker Cables Try the Analysis Plus Big Silver Oval. They perform way above their price point(IOW: they really get out of the way of the music and all it's nuances): (http://www.analysis-plus.com/prod_spkrcable.html) If you can find a used pair, they should be ... | |
| SDS or phono stage This is the LASER tach that I chose: (http://www.amazon.com/Industrial-Grade-5URH0-Contact-Tachometer/dp/B004ZRN7AE/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393294097&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=5urh0+uni-t) There are many cheaper: (http://www.amazon.c... | |
| Top resistors @Sherod- If the NOS Sylvanias are the bottom-gettered, VT-231 type(from the 40's); they are already excellent tubes. Very natural and transparent, like the Tung-Sols. The biggest noticeable difference, would be in the sound stage depth. That would... | |
| SDS or phono stage Correct! The SDS converts wall AC into DC, then synthesizes AC, at whatever(user adjustable) frequency it takes to achieve 33 1/3 or 45 rpm. It also lowers the voltage, after platter start-up, to reduce motor noise. I like not having to change the... | |
| Cary SLI-80 capacitor problem questions A bad power supply filter cap would not cause one tube to flash or overload. A shorted coupling cap, or one that's leaking DC voltages, will. (http://www.geofex.com/ampdbug/coupling.htm) | |
| Suggestions For A Good USB Digital Cable Another vote for Synergistic & The Cable Company: (http://www.thecableco.com/Manufacturer/Synergistic-Research) Used Tricons, here: (http://www.usedcable.com/category.aspx?mid=6573) | |
| Online Audio / 30 Day Home Trials The Cable Company does subtract any rental fee from a purchase, should one keep the product. Most companies probably would. It's easy to understand a company, trying to recoup the costs of maintaining an inventory of items for people to audition, ... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? I've used this stuff for decades, with great success: (http://www.emsclad.com/examples/emi-rfi-shielding.html), puchased here(page 14): (http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf) Looks like production has stopped on it though. I guess I'll be using t... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Aren't you glad that English skills have absolutely no bearing on one's aural acuity or electronics aptitude? =;^) | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Mr R: Spoken(typed) as a true Litho-cephal. Perhaps it escapes you; virtually everything, as related to electricity, is referred to as, "theory." That would be because nothing has been actually observed on the quantum level, as yet. NOTHING, regar... | |
| Audio Magic Monoliths .. Has Anyone Tried Them? Mr B- You are correct. The Mini, Standard and Monolith are iterations of the same technology(Pulsed Electron Alignment), with various placement possibilities(ie: inside equipment) & power increases, relative to size. | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? The best way to learn what a, "forceful transient" sounds like, is to find a live music venue and listen to the drummer, as he warms up. | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? For one that is accustomed to working on electronic gear; installing an IEC socket, and upgrading the internal wiring, is no big deal. I've performed the job on a number of ARC preamps, and a few brands of older tubed and SS power amps. The differ... |
