| Treating cable terminations in wet environment When I was dealing with boat wiring the stuff that seemed to work best is this: Boeshield T-9. It puts a pretty substanial film over the connection and penetrates very well. If the termination is completely exposed the silicone should work very we... | |
| Best Solder I would second Nsgarch's recommendation for the Welborne Labs House brand. It's the easiest to work with that I've found, inexpensive and I certainly can't hear any difference between it and other solder. | |
| Speakers A and B simultaneosly in different rooms Ok, I get it.It's certainly possible do what you're talking about but I don't think going to separate amps and preamps is going to get you anywhere. The iPod is a fantastic device for its intended use but everything about it is designed for portab... | |
| Speakers A and B simultaneosly in different rooms Dylano, I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking if the output from an iPod going is going to be as good as the output of an external preamp fed by that same iPod? What is the rest of your current setup, how are you amplifying the t... | |
| Speakers A and B simultaneosly in different rooms One consideration in using the same preamp and amp to drive speakers in different locations is getting the volume right in both places at once. After being frustrated by that situation I found the best solution for me was to run two outputs from t... | |
| IEC Connector Suggestions A connector I've used for several cables that's less expensive than the Wattgate, Oyaide or Furutech is this Marinco. It's designed for 12 or 14 gauge wire and is both very easy to put together and a really solid connection. | |
| DIY Mogami interconnects ScmYou may already be set up with supplies to make the cables but if you need to buy solder for the job I can recommend the Welborne Labs TLS silver solder available here, http://www.welbornelabs.com/solder.htm. It's inexpensive and I've found it ... | |
| tight sound and tight $ sub for Silverline monitor A used Hsu VTF-2 would be in your price range. Might be a little large, physically, for a bedroom but it's a great sub for the price. | |
| DIY Mogami interconnects I don't have any experience with Mogami 2803 but have made several pair of interconnects with Mogami 2534 Neglex Quad microphone cable. It's very easy to work with, thin, flexible and copper shielded. It's got four 24 gauge conductors so doubling ... | |
| Upgrade Denon-2200 to Toshiba HD-DVD? Your first step should be to decide for yourself whether better CD sound or a better picture is your top priority. I own a Denon 2200 and a 2910, as well, and I really like how easy they are to use, along with their versatility. The 2200 you own w... | |
| DIY Cable sleeves, where can I buy....... A couple of sources are http://heatshrink.com/prod-techflex.htm and http://www.partsexpress.com. On the partsexpress.com site, just choose "Techflex" frm the "Search by brand name" drop-down menu on the left of the home page. | |
| Best path to upgrade my source I haven't heard any of the more expensive models of the Lite DAC Ah but clicking here, Audio Asylum will get you search results for "Lite DAC" where there are a number of threads about the various products. There's more information about the DAC 6... | |
| Forums and Manufacturers: Are they here to help? The answer to your question is the same as the answer to almost every other question posed here, "It depends." Many manufacturers and dealers who answer are genuinely concerned with helping people, regardless of whether that means selling their ow... | |
| Looking for solid state integrated amp. I agree with Foster_9. I had an Audio Refinement Complete as my main amp for a couple of years and I'd recommend it as one of the great bargains in audio. I have a little experience with the Creek a50ir because I helped a friend build a system inc... | |
| How to compare Azur 640C V2 and Benchmark DAC 1? I have a Benchmark DAC and recently bought a $150 Lite DAC Ah to use in a friend's system. While I had both at my house I did a fair bit of swapping back and forth because I was curious, of course, about whether I could hear differences between th... |
