| New Ikea storage unit great for LP's! I have a 4x4 Expedit FULL of vinyl. I use vinyl sleeves for my vinyl, so the open back isn’t a problem, and when it’s full of records it is so freaking stable. Good thing it’s on a concrete floor! That’s great there are other fancier looking optio... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I don’t see why the death of the CD would kill vinyl. They’re definitely serving different non audiophile customer bases and it’s the inconvenience of vinyl that makes it legit. CDs are more convenient but now files are even more so. That’s the pr... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @jea48 check this: http://www.southwire.com/ProductCatalog/XTEInterfaceServlet?contentKey=prodcatsheet393That is the wire I used. The outer jacket is high temp smokeless PVC and the individual wire insulator is FEP or what is commonly referred to ... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. Also, thanks for the how to! | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @williewonka I was using them with a dared mc 7p pre and a class D crown xls1500. Now they're powering 2 Ghent audio 500w class D monoblocks. I find with class D that the heavier gauge conductor makes a big difference in sonic performance, especia... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. I promise, if you do the research you can confirm, cat 5 that is UL listed is rated to 300v | |
| Do I need a power conditioner? @leotis holy crap, I read about the ’sterzerizer’ and how ’dirty power’ is bad for your health. Man, and I thought we (audiophules) were paranoid about dirty power! These guys are claiming that dirty power emits harmful electromagnetic fields that... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @williewonka I've already got two of your helix design power cords hooked up to my monoblocks. I ended up using the yarbo 9000 series cable from vt4c as the donor cable for the main conductor. They sound great. | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I realized vinyl was better for completely non sound quality issues: when I got into electronic music back in the late 90s, much of what I was into was only released on vinyl, usually 12" or 7" singles or a limited vinyl release on an obscure labe... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. The actual insulation around the wire itself is Teflon... I think the blue outer sleeve is PVC. @jea48 that was a beautiful post. Points taken. I have the twisted pairs still in the blue outer sleeve and all 4 twisted pairs are used in parallel, I... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. I’m not dead yet.. ;-)Wiliewonka - cat 5 plenum cable insulation is Teflon and is good to 200* C. Cat 5 is also rated to 300v. Not 600, but well above 120. | |
| Agoners: Need Advice! Have 3K to spend on an Amp, what do I do with no way to audition? Have you considered any of the class D amps? I love electronica and my Ghent audio monoblocks are incredible for what I listen to.. But I've also never heard a high end class a/b in my system. | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? The discogs market is definitely broad, I think its depth depends on the genre. I've purchased and sold from/to international buyers many times. But the time between listing and selling depends a lot on what you're selling and how rare it is.Whate... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. So far, they run completely cool..@pbnaudio those (home depot) are the very cords I used when I first made my own cords a year and a half ago. All the other cords I've made since then have sounded better. But your signalcables link got me curious,... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. You guys are great. Truly. Erik, I appreciate your no BS attitude. I’m curious, though, why other diy power cable threads haven’t gotten this rawkus. Is it the cat5e cable, or my edgy headline? Because I’ve made other power cables and mentioned it... |
