| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? I find it amazing all the people on various posts who claim to have demo'd Nordost Vahalla and OEM grade cables and hear no difference. I assume you're dishonest. Who would honestly do this type of comparison as a serious demo? Did you acutally bu... | |
| Integrated Amps: Classe vs. Audio Refinement? I know a YBA/Audio Refinement dealer who stopped selling the single transformer version of the Integre (the DT is the dual transformer version) because they could hardly notice any difference between the single Integre and the Complete. The Integr... | |
| the unaccompanied voice There are some Gregg Smith Doo-Wop arrangements of Thomas Morley (Elizabethan) madrigals; not sure if they are on CD. They were sung on NPR Garrison Keillor's show, so may be available. We are performing two of them at a free concert in Baltimore ... | |
| Next step up Get the Pioneer modified. Dan Wright's Pioneer transport mods are $250 and $375 depending how far you want to go.http://www.modwright.com/transport.htm | |
| Absolute Power Cords? Any opinions? For $110 list but availble for $85 from some dealers, the Blue Circle BC61 is my choice for an inexpensive power cord. Also the Vansevers Standard cords. | |
| RCA to BNC adapters Radio Shack or a Computer Store (Some networking connections are BNC).BNC is used by some high-tech medical test equipment, so you could try a medical equipment dealer. I assume these would be high quality (but expensive). | |
| What does "B-Stock" mean? Also on occassion they are actually new units that are being cleared out to make room for a new model. In these cases B stock units usually have a shorter warranty period which lowers the company's future warranty repair costs, so they can reduce ... | |
| the unaccompanied voice Anything by the Kings Singers. I've had the pleasure of performing with them twice (music composed for them and chamber chorus). I will never forget it.Rachmaninoff Vespers (All-Night Vigil); Robert Shaw, Telarc CD-80172.Morten Lauridsen (Composer... | |
| Help me spend 600 So can you swing $800? At Alternative Audio in Toronto they have a used YBA Integre (not DT version) integrated amp with phono for CA$1250., which at current exchange rates is about US$775., so $800 with shipping. The DT (dual transformer) is Ster... | |
| Subwoofer Options - REL, BagEnd, JMLab Electra Sub You can't go wrong with a REL. At least the Storm III. The Stratus III is a nice sub, but does not go as low. | |
| Amplifier Transformer Hum Great Herman! We are basically describing the same thing. I never thought of dimmers as a cause. | |
| Amplifier Transformer Hum Sometimes the hum is caused by "DC Offset". The AC power quality is off a little, and the transformer has to work harder to get the right power to the amplifier or other component. It will vibrate more when it has to work harder. A power regenerat... | |
| Anyone heard of this ? Possible "scam" ? I can believe it. I broke a laptop computer once by firing it up frozen. Fortunitely, it was my work computer and the firm had a service contract with the dealer. | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Sorry if I missed it in your post, but everyone should also check the polarity of their wall plugs. Don't assume that the folks who wire your house installed all your wall plugs correctly. Also check the ground while your at it. All hardware store... | |
| Feedback does not alway tell all Welcome to web shopping. This is a spare time hobby to most folks; they are not in business. I think you expect too much. If you want service, go to an audio dealer and pay full price for new gear. |
