| Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong Hong Kong is also a great place to buy high end watches. I've seen them for as much as 99% off MSRP. I don't know how they are able to get such a good deal from the manufacturer. (/ sarcasm)Short answer is yes, they are fake. Now they may in fact ... | |
| Is my room doomed? Pic I would say it's 70% room / 30% set up. The room is a wide open space with little boundary reinforcement, it may be better suited to an omnidirectional radiator. The back wall (being a hard flat surface) won't help any with the soundstage. Actuall... | |
| I would like to hear the Revel F-52's Audio Consultants has a couple stores in Northern Illinois & Chicagoland area. They have Revel and Thiel. Or at least they did the last time I was there. I don't live in the area anymore. | |
| Aleph Clone, thumps on turn off, and on turn on... I have a pass aleph 3 and it thumps softly on turn off. I don't think it thumps on turn on. If the clone does the same thing, it may be a characteristic of the design. I don't think it's anything to be concerned about. It's not a loud or uncomfort... | |
| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? I love music, of course, but I'm an audiophile because I also love the equipment responsible for the reproduction of music. Generally speaking though, I like all high end or luxury products. Fine mechanical watches, high quality cameras and lenses... | |
| Primaluna prologue 1 + Thiel 1.6 I've got the Thiels 1.6 paired to a Pass Aleph 3 pushing 30 watts into 8 ohms, doubling to 60 watts into 4 and 2 ohms.The volume is adequate in my 15 x 20' room. I would be probably be very well serviced by 150-300 watts. Fo now, it's pretty good,... | |
| Acrylic turntable and amp dust covers? I 100% agree with Kurt_tank. I have a one piece acrylic cover and I wouldn't want it hinged for the same reasons he mentions. I also set the cover down on the carpeted floor and use it as a table for the album cover while I'm listening. | |

| Upgrading Apple TV power cable Why don't you just shave it down to fit? | |
| Interconnects for Rotel. Ask 10 people and get 10 responses. Transparent is detailed and not bright. They've got wire at all price levels. Buy used. | |
| Toslink to mini optical cable suggestions. You can find this cable type on monoprice, I've looked before. It won't be audiophile approved, but it'll have the terminations you require. | |
| Pass labs with totems My experience....I've run the arro's with an aleph 3 for many years in a variety of rooms, from small (12 x 14) to large size (14 x 22). I was able to get adequate sound levels in all situations, but felt the smaller room really complimented the c... | |
| How do you level your turntable? I use a bubble level to good effect.I've got a marble slab on top of an inflatable tube. But...I level the stand first.Then I put the table on top of the bladder / slab combo.Then I put the bubble level on the bare platter. I put it at several pla... |
