| Shocking 3D sound in 2 channel Accurately recording the ambient information of an actual venue and music event, takes careful mic placement and is the most fragile(easiest lost)of what is contained in your audio signal. Your entire playback chain, source to ear, is responsible ... | |
| Something doesn't seem right about this... Hi, Mr Bi- Nope; you missed nothing. Your last post mentioned a, "cognizable improvement in sound", as a factor. It was on that basis that I mentioned the Selects as the higher Kimber rungs(plaids). I've always based my cable choices on their pres... | |
| Looking for info/kits for dynaco mklV mono tube Curcio has some of the best mods available for the power supplies: (http://www.curcioaudio.com/) I'd recommend restuffing the original(or upgraded) driver boards with Mills wirewounds: (http://www.partsconnexion.com/resistors_mills_mra5.html) and ... | |
| Something doesn't seem right about this... Actually; Kimber's Varistrand Silver, in the Select series, would be their top rung for conductors. The Select cables(KS-3038 or 6068, "plaid" if you will) do represent a marked increase in audible performance(realism), in a resolving system. | |
| Good value for money speaker cables around $200 Mr G- There have been a ton of counterfeit cables coming out of China. I wouldn't take a chance, ordering anything from them. Kimber's 8TC has been around for some time, has been updated recently, has and still performs beyond more costly cables. ... | |
| Good value for money speaker cables around $200 In your price range; this would be hard to beat: (http://app.audiogon.com/listings/speaker-kimber-8tc-kimber-8tc-8-ft-excellent-condition-2013-12-23-cables-92618-irvine-ca) | |
| Anyone know of a source for long-fiber wool? Won't be a problem then. They need a way in! | |
| Anyone know of a source for long-fiber wool? Don't forget about the moth problem:( http://www.wikihow.com/Keep-Wool-Clothing-Safe-From-Moths ). If you are going to use is as damping, in an open system or building a transmission line; bonded dacron(polyester fiberfill) works great, and doesn'... | |
| Where to buy quality phono connectors for chassis You'd be hard pressed to beat these, for the money(http://www.partsconnexion.com/wbt0274cu.html). They can easily be adapted, for your application. I've bought from Michael Percy, numerous times, as well(an excellent source). Radio Shack? UGH! | |

| Intractable Problem You said that the bad channel is playing at 5% the volume of the other. If you worded that correctly; there's a 95% reduction in volume, which could indicate a blown rail fuse, in the power amp(one of numerous possibilies, but- the easiest to corr... | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Anyone looking for an easy way to find the outer foil of a capacitor, without a scope or multimeter: Beg borrow or steal an older receiver or integrated, with a phono input. You'll need one speaker, of any description, hooked up to one output(bala... | |
| 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). |
