| Do Audionut Cable Elevators Work?? Opinions... I would avoid using anything that was a conductor or could carry static electricity. That rules out plastic, styrofoam, etc... Think along the lines of glass, ceramic, wood, etc.. If you want to "go for the gusto", suspended in the air would be th... | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? Marakanetz: High impedance loads is where OTL's will really shine, especially if they are basically resistive in nature.Meisterkleef: Only reporting what i've been told, so i don't know. As mentioned before though, i've also been told of another p... | |
| Do Audionut Cable Elevators Work?? Opinions... Cable elevators become a nuisance if your system is anywhere near a traffic area or if you have pets or children that will go into that room. For that matter, adults even trip over / knock these down unless you have a flashing neon light mounted n... | |
| Reterminating Nordost- worth it? Out of curiosity, are "Z Plugs" similar to the current connectors that Audioquest is marketing as a "banana plug" ? From what i can remember, they look pretty similar. Sean> | |
| OTL Tube Amps-- are they superior to everything? While i haven't heard a ton of different OTL's, i do know that the Atma's sound very nice. As Gs mentions above, any design is a compromise of sorts and OTL's are no different. Having said that, i know that Brian, who is the President of the Chica... | |
| Are the "Outlaws" for real? Another good find Warehouse. We call this "badge engineering" within the industry as the only thing that is changed ( in many cases ) is what name or "badge" the component ends up wearing. I do have one problem with the article though. It stems fr... | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Dennis: It is possible that a circuit can become "overly dynamic" sounding due to non-linearities in gain characteristics. In other words, very small differences in input drive levels can be amplified at a much greater rate than levels just barely... | |
| Using Threshold's SA/3.9e as Mono Amp I would recommend contacting Jon Soderberg at Vintage Amp Repair and ask him about your situation. If you email him, please be patient as he's quite busy. He will get back to you, but it might take up to a couple of days. Sean> | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Highend64: I have worked with many of the amps that you have mentioned. I would not consider any of them suitable ( sonically ) for a hi-end audio system. However, they do work fine for PA type situations and that is where i've used them.As far as... | |
| HELP: Bel Canto DAC and my cables aren't working.. Matchstikman: Glad to hear you were able to resolve the problem. Thanks for posting the response that you obtained from Bel Canto. It confirms my own personal findings regarding digital and / or rf based signals i.e. temperature stability accounts... | |
| Are the "Outlaws" for real? Jayctoyz: Thanks for the kind words. I do what i can with what i have and try to share the limited knowledge / experience that has wandered my way. Either way, the bottom line is to enjoy what you have or find a way to get something that you can e... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Twl: Sorry for sidetracking your thread. This was not my intention. I only intended to introduce another product of similar pedigree into the conversation. Some of my "generic" comments were misinterpreted as being specific and for that i apologiz... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works I was not so much talking about the racks themselves, but the idealogies. Michael Green believes in "live" or "resonant" rather than "dead" or "damped". Your last response to me basically focuses on many of the same attributes that he seeks to ach... | |
| Pro or hi-fi amp, which one would you choose? Cdc: That's a good link. If you want to see what "pro's" think about an amplifier and what they expect out of them, read some of the other reviews on that website. Like i said, so long as they power up, stay up and don't present a hassle to use, t... | |
| This Sistrum stuff works Brulee: Why not discuss the matter in a logical manner ? I have presented my side of the how's & why's and all that you have done is throw stones. Can you not understand "any" of the logic or responses that i've posted to you here ? Sean> |
