| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc I bid on a pot that went for 1$ over my bid of 55. It was a model listed in current Newark catalogue for 1k. Hard to believe but true. If I was at a computer I wouldn't have let go that cheap. Try again. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc I just shot off an email to moonaudio. I've seen his ads, he has good feedback every place I checked. Thanks for the tip. These cables are too nice to give up on. I got the price of the solder pot from my Newark catalogue. The $300 unit was the le... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Well after emailing Straightwire and doing a little research it looks like buying a solder pot is the way to go. As a decent new one goes for $300+, I'll keep my eyes open on ebay and see what they go for there. Straightwire wants $26.50 per spade... | |
| Small Floor Standers My Kestrel HRs are in storage in the closet. They are my sentimental favorites, I'd give them to one of my kids before I sold them. Altough the last time I did that my Paradigm 9seMIIIs were blown up by my son. | |
| Small Floor Standers A guy recently sold a pair of K2s here in the cherry finish for $600. I made an offer (too late of course) even though I had no place to put them. That may have been one of the years best buys. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc For sure Nsgarch. That's what stopped me. I was checking continuity to ensure I wired properly when I found I could only get a reading on the very end of the wire. If I pressed hard enough the meter would read through the coating but that ain't go... | |
| The WORST Components for Rock and Pop Music That makes a lot of sense to me as I usually listen to rock in the car where fidelity is not an issue. Good point mitch. | |
| Small Floor Standers In-walls, YIKES!! You better hurry and get something even if it's temporary. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Wouldn't dispute the science behind that concept but it is hard to concieve seven feet of cable causing a noticeable smearing. It takes better ears or more discerning listening habits than I posess to catch it. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Threads like this one make Audiogon worth visiting regularly.Beatles, Abbey Road.Van Morrison, Moondance -- still gives me chills after all these years.Joni Mitchell, Blue -- I remember when this came out, riding around with my buddies and one of ... | |
| My system is bright? I need help. thanks I agree with Tvad completely. Put a little more separation between the speakers, they need some room to breathe. Not only does this make sense, it doesn't cost a thing to experiment with placement. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Thanks for the info. As I said I tried heating the wire; used a small torch my wife bought for caramelizing. The wire was very hot (glowing) but the coating seemed to stay. I sent an email off to Straightwire. If they don't give me advice then I'l... | |
| Small Floor Standers Have you considered Vienna Acoustics, Bachs. Very musical speakers and I believe less than 36 inches tall. Or has any one suggested the Monitor Audio RS-6 that recieved rave reviews in Stereophile. This speaker is only 33 inches tall. I haven't he... | |
| Small Floor Standers My wife's thoughts exactly. "Why can't we get the little Bose speakers in our living room?" I moved my system into a vacant bedroom after hearing that question. | |
| Best 5 disc cd player for the $ When someone asks "best for the $" I think cheap. This may not be your intention but look at the Harman Kardon FL-8380 or 85. I keep one in the closet as a back up. Not worth the trouble to sell but it sounds pretty decent, especially with HDCDs. |
