| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Strange that you didn't hear this with the prior amps.I had exactly the same furnace ignition 'click' with my dedicated circuits. It is the grounds which are contaminated, they feed household garbage through the ground. The only cure that I know o... | |
| capacitors With that budget for those size capacitors I don't think you'll find happiness. The best quality, relatively low priced caps I've heard are the Jantzen Z-Superior copper caps, $44 a piece in 10uf value. Available at partsexpress.com | |
| Baby name opinion.... Going with Markphd here, stereo doesn't sound feminine to me. Generally, spanish masculine ends in o, feminine in a. How about Sterea! | |
| Beatles Remasters? And to add to photon, Michael Jackson supposedly owns 50% (Northern Songs) of publishing rights to Beatles catalog. Seems to me, none of the entities are willing to work together to get remastered material out there. This is one of the biggest tra... | |
| Cardas G R power cable "SOUL" of musician I describe GR cable as musical, I suppose you could call that soul.I've tried tons of cables in various systems over the years, some do some things better, GR's just seem to have some holistic something that's made them keepers for me for aprox. 1... | |
| capacitors My experience suggests changing out loudspeaker caps first is biggest bang for buck. Don't listen to the naysayers, changing out caps can result in great improvements.As far as cost, the best is going to cost dearly, lots of choices at lower price... | |
| Help with burning in a phono stage You don't need to have the preamp on to burn in phono stage, the signal is passing through the phono stage regardless of preamp. I've done this a dozen times with a similar burn in device. There are a number of threads here discussing this, do a s... | |
| VPI SSM lacking bite As usual your arguments make sense, I will try the springs. Now, any suggestions about what springs I should order for aprox. 300 lbs divided by 4 springs, ie. aprox. 75lbs per spring? | |
| Oyaide Tunami GPX-R: Two for One It definitely is the journey for me these days, DIY is basically the only thing I'm doing. The enjoyment in doing things yourself is something I never get from buying equipment, the money saved is a bonus. I can't believe there aren't more DIY'ers... | |
| Oyaide Tunami GPX-R: Two for One I've never bothered cutting any DIY cable, the cable itself is relatively cheap, the ends cost all the money.I'm also sure I would like the Tunami, presently using Neotech NEP 3200 cable for one power cord, close relative to Tunami and supplier of... | |
| VPI SSM lacking bite I've been thinking about your spring arrangement for some time, I'm willing to give it a try. Should be good experiment with my wall shelf and huge sandbox. The only issue is determining which springs to try, I will have somewhere around 300+ lbs ... | |
| capacitor upgrade The good Audio Notes I'm talking about are more expensive than the Duelunds.I assume you have two coupling caps to replace. In lower price range, Jantzen Z-Superior Copper is best I've tried. Next lowest in price, Mundorf Silver in oil.And if your... | |
| Is cable synergy important? Lacee, your last post should have come earlier. Your original post was benign enough and didn't warrant questioning your motives. Later posts made it seem like Clear Day was objectively head and shoulders above all other cables. Objectivity is lik... | |
| capacitor upgrade Duelund is the smoothest, most natural hands down. Doesn't have thick mids, just natural, no colorations I can detect. Duelunds have won every cap shootout I've seen, out of this world priced Audio Notes only cap in contention for top honors. You ... | |
| VPI SSM lacking bite Dave, I agree that a soft spring mattress on the beach decouples you from the surf, but this is more analogous to using something compliant underneath the the sandbox. Essentially you are de-coupling from external energy (the surf). Any vibrations... |
