| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton Sean...A good FRENCH IEC? I spent a decade trying to teach french engineers a bit about QA, but eventually the masochism/hedonism quotient tipped the wrong way.Where do I find it?Cheers. | |
| Where R U????? Hmmm....Hi Kelly: here in Boston I NEVER lock my back door--figure the speakers are too heavy, and the monos are bolted to the rafters in the basement...and who's going to take an emc-1 down off a high shelf? Not enough knobs to sell on the street... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Jvia...I know, I know. We're talking in circles, here.As a member of Young Audiences in Boston I get to hang out with Yo-Yo when he plays for their annual fundraiser (last year with O'Connor, too). And there's nothing like being in the room with Y... | |
| What the heck is a power cord? I was skeptical, too, then made dedicated lines AND DIY PCs (from Belden 83802), and am thrilled at the result. Another veil lifted, and increased low-level dynamics.Those ACME outlets are a nice way to go too.Have fun. | |
| Sony SACD 555ES or Arcam CD-92 for redbook Neither. Sorry...it's bedtime, and my skepticism of multi-players prevails again! | |
| I need a reccomendation for a CD/DVD combo Awfully nice speakers. I'd be careful to get a truly fine-sounding CDP, and don't know if ANY of the combi players are up to it yet. $400? I'm skeptical. Good luck. | |
| how many of you build you own speakers,and why? Used to (2 and 3-way ported), but soon realized that getting matched drivers in small lots was impossible. Thus customizing EVERY crossover was required. What a joke!So I blew my brains out on Verity Audio Parsifals and have never looked back! My ... | |
| Power Cord for Pass X-350? I just made some PCs for my Pass monos with Belden 83802 ($2.50/ft), Leviton Pro plugs ($10 at HDepot), and Schurter IEC ($8 at Allied). 12AWG with pure Teflon dielectric.What else could you want?Just one guy's results...have fun. | |
| What is your listening bias PRaT is something you FEEL. | |
| PS Audio Power Port vs. Hubbell/Leviton I've got EIGHT Legacy AWD Wagons you guys can use to drive to HD in the snow to inspect the differences among AC connectors! Come and get' em!Seriously, whereas the Leviton hosp grade is considered flawed, they make a GREAT Pro-grade PLUG for $10 ... | |
| What to place under speaker spikes on hardwood Nickels for silver spikes or pennies for brass ones! Don't worry about dulling the points. The force per square inch is still ridiculously high, so the coupling will work.The teflon sliders MAY work, but I fear they'd wiggle in the low bass, like ... | |
| Upgrade CD player or wait Nice post, Pbb. I'm probably the guy who said the ARCAM lacked PRaT. But I never stuck it on a Neuance, so who knows...? Your analogy's great. Maybe a Neuance will allow that trio to boogie better!But to answer the threadhead's query: it took me a... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Jvia...used to agree with you, but after spending the past year or so assembling a ref system, I have to agree that MOST of the time my home seat is better than the cheap tix I buy at most live venues...until I move around after intermission! This... | |
| Best 20 bucks I've spent yet Guys, guys, guys:Try the P&S outlets AS MODDED WITH SILVER-PLATED CONTACTS by ACME. $35 each. If you're going to bother going to the trouble, you might as well get the best improvement for your trouble. I decided to make my own dedicated lines... | |
| Help on premium cd player I agree, Casouza...when in doubt, deader is better! |
