| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Asa: Hovland was the next phono cable I was going to try. What length are you running? Dekay: I considered twisting the OTA phono cables. After all, Simon Yorke twists the TT arm cables very tightly. Likewise, I thought that I would have to twist ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Dekay, sead: your exchange has inspired me to get back on this forum in a more empirical fashion. The main purpose of this post is to report on a recent OTA experiment I performed. Purpose: The aim of the experiment was to find out if a 47 Labs OT... | |
| Mountain There is an audiophile Japanese pressing of Mountain's "Flowers of Evil" on sale at "#2 Records" in Frankfurt, Germany right now for about $20, I think. It has a live version of "Mississippi Queen" on it. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit It is somewhat strange to consider the sale of my NBS Statements to B white as objective proof of the success of an empirical cable experiment (a poet, empirical?:-), since the crucial thing to bear in mind is that with the NBS Statement AND the 4... | |
| Turntable oil bearing "It is essential to keep the bearing assembly fully flooded with clean oil at all times. A high-quality, clear and non-viscous oil is optimum. ... Don't use thick, viscous or exotic oils as these might attack the bearing bush linings. Sewing machi... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Caterham1700, Redkiwi: your truths (expressed in verifiable, deduced, measured language) show the precise extent to which I was "overflowing" before. You have my complete respect. Asa: many a Zen master shouts a profound analogy to his disciple wh... | |
| Have you ever sniffed your AC ??? Thanks Detlof! Perhaps I can squeeze the Quiet Lines in after all! In the meantime, I have been using multiple Enacoms throughout the house. More expensive, but with Schuko plugs, and the capacitor unit is attached via a flexible power cable that ... | |
| Have you ever sniffed your AC ??? Detlof, always good to hear from you. Knowing that you live in Switzerland and use Quiet Lines, I had thought that you were using them with adaptors. Adaptors degrade performance, because the conducting materials, and connection points of every ad... | |
| Have you ever sniffed your AC ??? Thanks sean, a few questions: 1.) have you compared the Enacom/Combak A.C. Cord End Audio Compensator to the Audio Prism Quiet Line with the Line Sniffer? Dave Magnan claims that the capacitors in the Enacom are superior to the ones in the Quiet L... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Manzoor, thanks for the compliment, and permissions granted; perhaps send the whole "OTA cable kit" thread to TAS. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Bwhite, I will draw a comparison between NBS Statement and OTA for you, but, because of recent changes in my mains, and an entirely new phono stage still breaking in, my observations might only have the value of a "fait divers." These two cables a... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Palmnell, I would have fully broken-in the OTA cable before installing it in the turntable pick-up arm. There is an inverse relation between signal voltage and break-in time. With your turntable cartridge outputting signals in the millivolt region... | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? For $1500 you could buy a 47 Labs Shigaraki DAC ($1250) and have $250 left over. Shigaraki is 4/5 the quality of 47 Labs Progression DAC at about a quarter the price. It beats by a long shot the Audio Note DAC 1 at its own game, and has a greater ... | |
| Recommend Higher Power SET Amp The VAIC 520B output tube can deliver 30w in single SET (in the Classic 52B VAIC amp), and 55W in double SET (in the Reference 52B). VAIC also puts out a 320B double SET (Reference 32B) with 40 watts. The tubes are made in the Czech Republic, and ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Add another audiogoner to the "lunatic fringe" or set of "disciples" or "purgatory" (all phrases from this forum) of people that has the OTA hooked up and breaking in. Sead (European distributor of 47 Labs, who has countless connections using the ... |
