| New hook-up wite for amps & pre-amps. Why not try a 100% copper without silver plating for a mellower sound and to find out if it's something you like. | |
| I Just Don't Hear It - I wish I did Tvad well said!!! Subjectivism has been very very good for me. | |
| Just changed component stands - how to modify soun Try Sorbagel under the PRE AMP and the CDP should help the harshness, and the base. Go to dang-good-stuff on e-bay and get the 2.25" 30 durometer a cheap fix if it works!!! | |
| Setup CD + SPL for Vandersteen Quatro I think only dealers are given that CD, it is N/A. You might try one of the Stereophile test discs. The #1 disc, tests at 200Hz,160Hz,125Hz,100Hz,80Hz,63Hz,50Hz,40Hz,31.5Hz,25Hz and 20Hz and with a SPM from Radio Shack your in there. | |

| Joule Electra or Wolcott Tube Amps, or...? BTW my Joules use two variacs 500 watts each so there is the possibility of getting another variac and using two different circuits. This might be a bit of a hassle but the reward for the effort is huge. | |
| Keep my tubes?? I think right now is a prime time to sell NOS tubes. Everyone seems to be holding onto what they have so supply is low and what is offered goes fast. If you have "very good" section match and non microphonic tubes they are worth top dollar right n... | |
| Joule Electra or Wolcott Tube Amps, or...? From the Wolcott ad:"Product Weakness: In the overall sound equation I don't really consider these as weakness's but more my nit-picks to strive for perfection: The leading edge is not as realistic as the inner resolution and decay,needs a tad bet... | |
