| Cleaning records. How often really? Another Almost Never. I have both a Loricraft and a Nitty Gritty, and it's probably been a year since I last used either one. I do clean LPs that are really dirty but for normal records including most Ebay and used record store purchases, I just f... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today All of the speakers I now own qualify as vintage. From oldest to newest these are:1. Custom 2-way using 15" Jensen woofer and Altec compression driver in an Altec/Western Electric 32A horn. The cabinet is modern and so are the crossover parts, but... | |
| Need Tube Preamp Warmth The Emotive Audio Sira is a seriously good preamp, and the one listed on Audiogon has the V-Cap upgrade which puts it above any of the Siras described in the reviews. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price This is a progress report on the V-Twist wire. The V-Twist is a new DIY interconnect cable designed and distributed by Chris VenHaus of VH Audio. It is a twin lead cable where each conductor is a high purity 24 gauge solid copper wire with Teflon ... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Maxima, I haven't forgotten! I was away for a while so the V-Twist cables are still a way from being fully broken in. I now have a little over 250 hours on them but Chris VH says they need 400 to 500 hours before settling down. Apparently this is ... | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 You are certainly welcome. I hope you are successful in getting rid of the hum. | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 No Regrets, I sent you an email. Let me know if you have any questions. | |
| where to get schematic for Artemis Lab PH-1 I drew out a schematic back when I had one. I am traveling for a few days but could send it to you in a week after I return. Send me a pm if you still need it by then, and I will scan it. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Maxima95, the V-Twist only has 60 hours so it's too early to draw conclusions, but so far I like it. A lot! I will report back in another week or two. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price In re-reading those older posts on Jeff's blog, I noticed that the RCA plugs recommended by Mr. Yazaki-san were actually Canare F-10 plugs. The Switchcraft plugs that came with Jeff's cables were recommended by Jonathan Halpern, not by Yazaki-san.... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Ps,You may be recalling a comment I made on Jeff Day's blog with tips on assembling the Belden cables. See my comment #7 at the link below. It's dated April 18, 2015. Hard to believe it's been that long.http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?p=7325#comments | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I used Switchcraft 3502AAU RCA plugs on the V-Twist so I can do an apples-to-apples comparison to a pair of Belden interconnects which has the same Switchcraft plugs. I also have another pair of Belden interconnects with WBT 0102 Ag plugs. | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I haven't tried WE as interconnects yet but tonight I wired up a pair of 1M cables using VH Audio V-Twist which is a twin-lead somewhat similar to the Belden 8402 but using modern materials. It also doesn't have a shield. It should make an interes... | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price I wonder what "twisting the cable right-handed" means (per Siedy comment above). Wouldn't this change depending on which way you were looking at the cable? | |
| Looking for really fine cables at really low price Mikirob, if YOU had read this thread more carefully, you would know that I am not the one who compared cables to Tara Labs or Siltech. I was quoting the reviewer in Positive Feedback. I have never heard either brand at least not in my system. Than... |
