| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Zaikesman, "untestable String Theory"? What are you referring to? You can look at a simple instrument as guitar and you know why all 6 strings sound different. That's the simplest test on string theory. Have that in mind, you can then apply to a m... | |
| wnat to downgrade my cables Stuartbranson, From your quote: "I will likely be sacrificing quality with the money saved." Are you satisfy with cheaper cable right now or you regret selling it? How much quality are you willing to sarcrifice now? | |
| Question: Why do people use... Not practical becuase it will not sound the same. Better off switching out the ICs to make it sound right. A friend of my did similar thing and didn't realize why it sound bad until he remove the extra link. | |
| Tube preamp w/tone controls around $500? Equalizer will do the trick | |
| Counterpoint Preamp Upgrade Sonic Improvements The side mounted tube base is very delicate on the earlier counterpoint models.IMHO, The SA5000 is the peak of the counterpoint history. It might be even better than the SA-11 cost no object model. A lot of more thoughts were implemented in the SA... | |
| Counterpoint Preamp Upgrade Sonic Improvements The SA-5000 has one of the best phono stage out there for a full function preamp. It has the buffer stage which made it sound more dynamic for the low output MCs.I didn't go with Mike Elliott mod ( I did my own) but a friend of my did.Compare the ... | |
| Question: Why do people use... I've auditioned all setups and still found Tube preamp to tube amp most appealing sound by far. Tube preamp with SS amp is the runner up.SONY ES9000 SS preamp with Bryston 9BST SS ampAudio Research SP-11 tube preamp with Bryston 4BST SS ampARC sp-... | |
| Sonic Frontier, Joule or Counterpoint Tube Preamp? I love my counterpoint SA5000. For the price in the used market, it is by far the best value/sound. You get top of line MC/MM phono stage with excellent line stage. Works wonderful with my VDH Black Beauty cartridge, Marantz CD17 player,McIntosh M... | |
| Anyone tried using a sub on BW Nautilus 802s I felt that 802 has enough bass already. Maybe it is your amp, speaker wire, interconnect and preamp mismatch.The other day we were listening to Wilson puppy 5.1 with ML amp and founded that both speaker cables and interconnects made big differenc... | |
| Are today's interconnects really better? IMHO, big or small improvement has to do with everything you got. If your system is not as refined down to microscopic level then you probably can't tell much difference. Think of it as taking picture with a cheap vs good lens. At 2X3 size, you pr... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Flex, if you can make a cable say like a $10,000 NBS black series IC, are you going to tell folks how you making it?It can only be free if everyone else already knows how to do it.The truth about patent protection is all BS. Anyone can tweak a bit... | |
| Tube Amps and young children - avoiding burns etc. I put my large tube amp behind my DIY see through cabinet doors.Never had single issue with 2 kids. I put 2 latches behind the door to lock it. I think is a matter of how you want to put you amp in a safe place and look nice | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? Corona, welcome to the "reality chatting" ( since no tv screen here.) The concept is hard to understand for some of the folks here because they never design the cable themselves. Sure, it is always easier to attack someone and anyone can do that. ... | |
| Favorite integrated amp? Believe it or not, Vintage Scott 299-B, 222-C or 222-D ( LK-48) can do just what you need to mate with reference 3a Di Cappo. It is probably one of the best integrated Amp out there. Go take at 2 channel forum on http://www.klipsch.com/. You'll se... |
