| How to fight dirty power - I need your help The BC86 is similar to the Quiet Lines, but the BC86 works a lot better. Yes, I have compared them directly. Not even close. I do find the Quiet Lines do a good job on video. | |
| How to fight dirty power - I need your help A Blue Circle BC86 Noise Hound Parallel filter for $100 does a great job of cleaning the power going into your system. Two BC86 are even better and what I recommend if you can swing the $200. Being a parallel filter, it does not get in the way of ... | |
| What should I upgrade next? This is a tough one. I believe if you do upgrade the speakers first, they will quickly reveal the shortcomings of your basically fine but still Mid-Fi preamp, amplifiers and CD source. Or you may pick the wrong speakers, for the same reason; basic... | |
| Experience with Chang Lightspeed Conditioners? They do what they say, and are good value for what they cost. Recommend. | |
| Tubes-Uninformed Buyers?? There are actually a lot of used tubes sold on eBay. A few big sellers test them, and post the results in their listings. The test results span the range from fair to like-new. Judging from reading the ads, and the huge positive feedback, they are... | |

| US/Canada Customs Fees If it was manufactured in the US or Canada there will be no duty because of NAFTA. There might be a handling fee if you ship it UPS or Fedex. | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. I not sure I completely agree with choosing a cable based on the sonic signature of the system. My goal is a pure signal; not masking or altering some sonic problem.For example: If a system is bright because someone is using some cheap modern chin... | |
| Cheap A/V Receiver with A/B speaker outs AND phono Actually some models like the Onkyo SR500 does have A/B or A+B. Some do not. On my receiver (which won't do A+B), A is all the surround speakers, not just the fronts. B is only the extra 2 speakers. B will only work in 2 channel, not all surround ... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" The pitcher for the Arizona Cardinals Kim Byung Hyun is a real low baller. He throws the baseball practically off his shoe laces!! | |
| interconnect suggests under 300 used. Siltech SQ-28 or higher number and JPS Labs Superconductor 2 are great cables that can be purchased used around your price. The original JPS Superconductor is also quite nice for probably around $175 to 200. | |
