| True Headphone AMP? Antique sound lab UHC signature amp to headphone converter may work. | |
| HDMI cables are all the same? I can't see why HDMI cables that meet the standard should be different from one another. Maybe I'm blind. Maybe I don't appreciate the detail because my resolution is only 1080i. I go with Blue Jeans cable HDMI. I have a 100 foot run of HDMI from ... | |
| ASL Head Amp Sounds like a loose wire. As much as I love my ASL headphone amp I think the quality control is suspect. Check the soldered connections inside. You might find a loose solder or wire. | |

| Review: Tube Audio Design Hibachi Monoblocks TAD 125 Amplifier I have replaced my Bel Canto M300s with the Hibachi amps. I don't miss the BCs at all. The bass is detailed and full but quick and tight. The highs are articulate without any harshness or fatigue. The mids are the same as the BCs, life-like and sw... | |
| Near Field listening I use Von Schweikert VR-1s in a small library and even have them on the bookcase (I know, I know). The soundstage is tall and wide and the instruments seem precisely placed on the stage. Wonderful midrange and bass to 50 Hz. I also use a small REL... | |
| Best way to clean speakers I have used a vacuum, with an upholstery brush and the port on the vacuum open to allow as little suction as possible, to vacuum dust off the speakers. However, I rarely do it. And, I don't think its really necessary. You won't hear the difference... | |
