| C2it. --------- No Thanks I looks like it is basically online banking. Many banks offer this service; this one just has a fancy online face. PayPal has FDIC insurance. Surprise!! It is just a bank also.I guess you will need to find a bank that still offers Passbook account... | |
| The weakest link? Maybe the electric power is a dirty mess? I was looking for the tube gear also above. Guess there is none. | |
| C2it. --------- No Thanks I hope this is not a surprise to anyone; but if you are getting pre-approved credit card offers in the mail, or loan refinancing, insurance, etc, etc, it means your personal information is already being passed around. This is nothing new and does ... | |
| Vinyl LPs To CD First, if you want to do it well, you should look into a separate analog to digital converter (the opposite of a DAC).MSB makes a couple. The MSB Pro (Model PAD-1) lists new for $799. The Audio Director (Model ADD-1) lists new for $599. I see used... | |
| what is the best speaker cables for martin logan You could consider the Blue Circle BC92. Blue Circle's Gilbert Yeung is a Martin Logan owner and uses then as his reference to design his gear. | |
| Held up in customs Paulg805: There is no US duty on Canadian goods (and vice versa). But you have to fill out a declaration that the goods are of Canadian (or US) manufacture and list the maker. No declaration, then you pay. | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Cost of manufacture does not matter. Champagne is made and bottled the same way, whether it is a $8 bottle, or a $200 bottle.I agree with the Porsche analogy in reverse. Four years at Harvard (or a similar college) will cost $100,000 more than a s... | |
| Subwoofer upgrade? I don't know your subwoofer specifically, but many people try adding insulation or some kind of foam material inside the box to adjust the sound response. You could try searching other threads here or on Audio Asylum.Or just buy a REL. | |
| Unbelievable Indeed Folks using locking RCA interconnect plugs have reported similar results. The tighter they lock the RCA plug, the brighter the sound. | |
| The weakest link? What don't you like about the tube sound? Did you buy the tube gear used? If so, they may have put in cheap tubes before they sold it. (Cheap meaning poor sounding tubes.) | |
| Held up in customs What brand is it? I am no expert. What I know is goods manufactured in the US and Canada are free of a customs duty because of NAFTA and should be no problem. They may ask for a disclosure form. If a foreign make, they may want a duty charge. If t... | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Then, there is an opportunity here for anyone who wants to start a new audio maganzine that promotes great gear at realistic prices. That gear is out there and many of it (not all) lately seems to me to be Canadian; whether Bryston, Blue Circle, S... | |
| George Lucas using B&W Nautilus 802 in his studio. I don't know what George's ability as a director has to do with audio. Probably a discussion for another website. I do agree he should have hired a director and should just be the producer. Irvin Kershner, the guy who directed Empire Strikes Back ... | |
| Getting started with a second system... The AMC CVT-3030 tube integrated amp has tone controls and a phono stage as well. They sold for $999. Now discontinued, but Spearit Sound has some new ones with factory warranty for only $499. | |
