| Are contact treatments worth the money? I've never seen a paper from, or attended a course in the fields of Science or Electrical Engineering that addressed the issues of the very complex waveforms, timing, timbre, harmonic and ambience cues that comprise a musical signal being transmit... | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Walker SST and Caig DeoxIT Gold (X2)! | |
| Most overlooked part of your system? Two runs of 10-2 Romex from a 20A breaker to two Leviton Hospital Grade outlets(soon to upgrade to Oyaide or Isoclean). The gauge of the Romex made a MAJOR difference in dynamics when coupled with PS Audio xStream Plus SC, Zu Cable Mother PCs(I'm ... | |
| digital eq/room correction trade-offs I was a straight-wire-with-gain guy(using a modded Dahlquist DQLP-1 to bi-amp my system) for 25 years. My last attenuator was a Placette Passive Linestage. I eschewed any signal manipulation, analog or digital, until reading some reviews about the... | |
| The Latest and Greatest in Digital Coax Cables I suppose, at some price point, someone has manufactured a better AES/EBU cable than the Kimber Orchid. Hard for me to imagine though. | |
| Speaker Cables YEP- That's what's lacking: A good amp! | |
| Which NOS tubes on my ASL 1009 for more warmth? The latest iteration Winged 'C' EL34's and some NOS 12AU7 Mullards should provide all the warmth you'll ever need. (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/view_category.asp?cat=44) (http://www.upscaleaudio.com/SED-Winged-C-EL-34_p_63.html) I agree that the N... | |

| Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away Samhar- You must seek the same gratification as I, supporting those poor tube dealers, even buying the same tubes. Be certain the CCa's you purchase are pre-'68. Happy listening!! =8^) | |
| Upgrade...Sounds great...Goes away Samhar- YES, BUT: You're just imaging the improvement. You know: The (ubiquitous/inevitable/worthless) 'Placebo-Babble', er... I mean, 'Placebo-Effect'. KUDOS on your experimentation. Don't give up the Quest. | |
| Peavey or Behringer? They're cheap, and regarding sound quality: You get what you pay for. I'll only install either for the sound reinforcement customers(tightwads) that require the least expensive components possible. I'd never recommend them for home audio, but, "di... | |
| Experience with FREDs in a tube amp PS I've got Aeon polypropylene coupling caps in my mains now which will do for the time being. I'm focusing mainly on power supply upgrades for the woofer and main amps right now. Overall system dynamics and speed are what I'm after. | |
| looking for interconnect under 200 dollars Jafox- You couldn't be more correct! Cables will NOT "create" anything, BUT- they certainly can negatively affect a lot. |
