| Cd Player Suggestions This: (http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?dgtlplay&1231208697&/Balanced-Audio-VK-D5-BAT) Install some NOS Siemens 7308/E188CC or Amperex tubes, and you'll be in musical heaven. I've got NOS, early 60's Siemens CCa's in mine, and it's h... | |

| Which is better longer xlr or speaker cable Agreed that it's an advantage to have short speaker cables(still go with the best you can afford). Don't for a minute believe that, "the quality of the IC doesn't matter as much with balanced cable"! We're discussing a complex musical signal here,... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment He won't hear any difference on Blose 901's anyway(hee hee). What a waste of keystrokes! | |
| Peanuts from hell Two boxes, with strategically placed foam rubber strips(glued) to act as a suspension between the boxes(spacing at least a couple inches all around the inner box). The item wrapped in bubble wrap. That's only if you care enough, and don't have the... | |
| Problem when volume turn up Turn it up a "1/4" from what level? You say it works fine at "moderate volume". I'd have to agree to the amp shutting down via a protection circuit. If what you are experiencing is not a result of you trying to get higher SPLs than the system is c... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment Hey Craig- Did you have any idea that posting your very successful experiments and results would bring these semi-deaf, nay-saying, untesting but highly opinionated termites out of the woodwork? =8^) | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment BTW: The Rain-X concept is(filling and polishing micro-scratches) to make glass too slick for water to adhere, and has worked wonderfully for me. I had my wipers go out on a Camaro, in a thunderstorm, some years back. Found an auto parts store, bo... | |
| Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment The problems that polishes and green markers address has nothing to do with "jitter". LASERs can and will mistrack/misread, if skewed by scratches(microscopic or otherwise)on the disc's surface, or if picking up stray/reflected LASER light. Treate... | |
| Installed Wrong Tube 12AX& instead of 12 AT7 Not any more than a bad light bulb hurts your house wiring. | |
| Where to get replacement Rubber Feet? Your local Ace Hardware store. | |
| Installed Wrong Tube 12AX& instead of 12 AT7 Relax! As stated: No harm done. =8^) | |
| Cary SLI-80 Signature and EL34s Akanrg- Here's the scoop on Winged 'C' tubes: (http://www.tubesandmore.com/scripts/foxweb.dll/catalog@d:/dfs/elevclients/cemirror/ELEVATOR.FXP?PAGE=SUBCAT&SEARCH_TREE01=01_TUBES&SEARCH_TREE02=00003_WINGEDC) It's good to know what iteration... | |
| what do you know" That way those of us that have ears(and/or are trained in "critcal listening") can totally ignore what we know to be horseshite. | |
| ARC VT-200 Cooling Fan Noisy, nit picking? Two fans will lower the speed of each, but then you'll have the noise of two fans beating the air(no benefit). Place a 560 ohm, 10 watt power resistor in series with the fan, and it will reduce the speed significantly. Personally- I would remove t... |
