Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners
Thanks for that info on the PulseGen guys! (Intriguing!) 
Top resistors
I've been using Vishay Bulk Foils for a number of years, and have had excellent results. Supposedly wire-wounds are actually quieter, but there are other factors involved in the transparency of a resistor as well. Michael percy will match parts wi... 
Looking for good quality vintage speakers
If I'm not mistaken(wouldn't be the first time if I was): Weren't those Cambridge systems designed by Henry Kloss? You could do a whole lot worse than a free system from one of the better, old-time designers. They won't compare with an original co... 
Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL
Mr M- If you'd bother to read the posts: I was trying to teach Vett(or anyone else that might be interested in NOS tubes) a little something about 6SN7s(a subject HE brought up). Or- isn't that allowed on your site? OH! What exactly do "knobs" hav... 
Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist...
I could care less, but- It wouldn't be easy! It seems I've entered into a battle of wits with a number of un-armed individuals. Enjoy yourselves!!

That we can measure amperage, impedance(or resistance), and capacitance is not in question. A music signal is much more complex than the AC current that it takes to light your light bulb, containing a plethora of frequencies, harmonics, ambiance a...

You'll notice that the scientific term for our understanding of electricity is "theory". There are understandings that we have in science that are termed, "law"(IE: 1st and 2nd "laws" of Thermodynamics, The "law" of Universal Gravitation) In Scien...

Obviously a degree in engineering(of any kind) does nothing for one's auditory perception. If I couldn't hear the difference (in sound stage width/depth, imaging, transparency, dynamics) between my Wireworld Eclipse cables and Home Depot extension... 
Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners
Mr W- Give me a hint as to how this "new improvement" works(I won't be able to call until tomorrow PM). Obviously Jerry doesn't want us drilling out all those nifty pop-rivets. 
Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers?
They had the same frame as the large Advent, but- rather than the smallish square magnet, a larger round one. Different voice coil and Thiele/Small parameters. 
Audio Magic and other Power Line Conditioners
I've been using an Audio Magic Stealth XXX for the past 6 years and lovin' it. I understand the newer version is even better. I'm running my 113WPC Cary tubed monoblocks and Hafler TransNova 9505(I bi-amp) through the "power amp" designated sectio... 
Dahlquist DQ12 replacement woofers?
You might contact the seller of these DQ-12s on eBay and see if he kept the original drivers when he changed them for Radio Cracks(bonehead). (http://cgi.ebay.com/Dahlquist-DQ-12-speakers-great-sounding-speakers_W0QQitemZ200243798038QQihZ010QQcate... 
Magnepan MG20 tweaks ?
Mr L- You have e-mail! 
Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922
Mr S- The tubes manufactured for the German telecommunications industry had to conform to certain performance specs. Kind of a parallel of our Mil Spec Standards(once upon a time). The CCa was a specially selected 10K hr, low-noise/well balanced t... 
Damsel in Distress with Jadis DPL
Vett- Look at this data sheet for the old Sylvania 6SN7GTA (http://home.comcast.net/~tubes/Syl55/Get_Page.html?175). It's plate voltage is also 450V. The tube you mention is a 6SN7GTA/B- same designation with a "b" added. That's what the different...
