| Fedex, didn't it used to mean Federal Express? My most recent experience with Fedex Ground was very good. Amp shipped from Ohio, Feb 28, tracking claims delivery scheduled Mar 2. Mar 2 is a Saturday; I figure their program doesn't recognize the Feb has only 28 days. On Sat, Mar 2, 2 days after... | |
| Inexpensive Tri-Wire Cables Try DH Labs Silversonic. Its relatively inexpensive and can be done it three seperate runs, terminated together at the amp end. Would be a little bulky. | |
| Difference between "Audio" CD-R and PC CD-R I don't know the answer to your question, but regardless of the sonics, you should be aware that some consumer audio products will NOT play PC CDRs. | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had I agree, although that's quite a bit of a mis-match. | |
| cable cooker, do they work? I think that means "put that in pipe and smoke it!" either that or it has something to do with a proctologist;>). | |
| Amps Questions Help Hi Mark- Dual mono means that there are two totally separate monoaural circuits to make up the stereo pair. Two power supplies, gain circuits, etc. Some even have two power cords (not sure that ML does. This is designed to eliminate any interactio... | |
| Svetlana 6N1P in new ARC VS55 Check over at the tube asylum. I think I remember a post from the designer of the BAT pres (VK himself) that the 6N1P is NOT recommended for the 6922 in the BAT pieces. Run a search and you will find the threads. You are right, tho, they are dirt ... | |
| I'm Freaked Out by this Tube comparison Kev- I have been told that Sovtek is just a generic term chosen for export to the West and that there were (are?) many different manufacturers. If that is true, take that and add that to the other variables, and what you report is not at all surpr... | |
| What is happening with some of these ads? How about the current ad for a T-9090II showing a $1K list (Bluebook shows $790). Maybe thats to account for inflation? | |
| Simple all-in-one remote for HT? The Home Theater Master is pretty good. Also try posting on remotecentral.com. They've got all the bases covered. | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Max my boy- interesting to see you quoting RV ;>) But you are correct. The difference in nomenclature is with single biwire vs. double which I believe is the same as internal vs. external or internal vs. shotgun. In my mind, shotgun=external bi... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Well folks, its my understanding that shotgun and external biwiring were the same; with the alternative being internal biwiring. My AQ Crystal were set up for internal biwiring, with two terminations per channel (and physical cable) at the amp end... | |
| Re-tube time for a BAT VK30. Advice please I don't know what BAT charges, but Conus Audio in Canada has 6H23P for $20/ea. | |
| Re-tube time for a BAT VK30. Advice please I've used the Phillips NOS JANs I got on ebay and they worked just fine in my VK3i. Not as good as the Amperex PQs I've got in there now, but way cheaper and I thought they were a noticeable improvement over the (admittedly older) Sovteks I've had... | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike- based on your listening preference which are much the same as mine, I'll let you know what I have found thru a 2 year long upgrade. The one constant I've had, up until this week was Vandersteen 2cis (I just bought the 3Asigs and boy are they... |
