| Twin lead or coax for downlead from FM antenna? OK, thanks guys. Since the cable is in my attic which is quite dry, weatherproofing should not be an issue. Now I just have to get my butt up thru the scuttle and switch over to the coax (RG-6). | |
| Clockwise or counter looking at the panel? Wstritt- cfb's rhyme is right, but the advise is wrong. Looking from the back, hold the knurled end thats closest to you, and turn the locking barrel (closer to the unit) clockwise. | |
| Who R U? Hi Bart. Nice to meet you. | |
| i have hummmmmmmm. Not what you may want to hear but with such long ICs, you may want to consider balanced if your electronics will support it. | |
| How BIG is yours? Sean- two things go at 40, one is the knees and I forget the other one.On thread, about 300-400 of each. | |
| Warmest? BAT VK200, Classe CA200, Mccormack .5 I recently switched from a DNA 0.5 to 0.5 Rev B. Amazing step up in terms of soundstaging, bass extension, and high end detail. However, even with my Vandersteen 2cis and BAT VK3i, it seems ever so slightly bright now. Using Silver Sonic t-14 shot... | |
| 6692: what is the best upgrade to aim for? Yeah the 6H23s sound better than the stock Sovteks in my BAT VK3i pre. Not as good as the Siemens E88CCs, but I have been having some microphonics problems with the Siemens. The 6H23s from Conus are way cheaper, too. | |
| What are you doing with your tax return? If Marankenetz and the others were talking about the $600 check you got courtesy Prez (cough, cough) Bush, then you should have read the fine print. Its not a refund, its an advance against your 2001 refund, if you overpay your withholding and/or ... | |
| What would you do?? I can second Pbbs approval of the Paradigms. Never have heard the Pro-acs, but when I went CDP shopping, I heard a CAL demo'd with NAD and Paradigms and was quite impressed. Very good imaging, taut and fast. A little too analytical for my taste (I... | |
| 6N1P near equivalent 6922/6dj8 Thanks all. I did think to check in the Asylum after posting and got the same results. Too bad, there's someone selling them on ebay for $9.99 per lot of 10! | |
| The best 5 disc CD Changer. The CL-10 is a VERY good unit and is available here and on ebay frequently used, including a recent NIB unit. Should set you back about $7-800. It has coax, ATT and balanced digital outputs. | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... I believe that Jefferson Airplane Surrealistic Pillow and Cream Disreali Gears were two of my first. Guess that puts a distinct time and flavor to my late adolesence (probably a junior in high school at the time, ca. 1968). | |
| Any Thought On A New CD to DAC Cable? Current conventional wisdom is that digital coax or ATT glass connections are better. | |
| A question concerning ethics Brulee- this has been an issue discussed at length before, and there is a fine line between information exchange/shameless self-promotion/exploitation of the medium's anonymity/outright deception. There are legal (read libel/slander) issues as wel... | |
| I've discovered an alternate way . Amen to that, cfb. Hope to hear more from you soon, DK. |
