| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @terry9 the cable is well terminated. I stripped the individual wires and crimped spades at the end of each bundle. I then put heat shrink up over any bit of exposed metal, other than the spade. These babies are solidly terminated.As for the Teflo... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @mani-2 my other power cables are a helix design I got from williewonka (agon name), which I then made from the conductors from the yarbo 9000 series PCs with silver coated copper neutral helix and a thhn wire ground helix, both wrapped around the... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @pbnaudio ha! | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. @tablejockey that's gotta be the dodgiest looking cable I've ever seen. | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. I actually thought about the insulation temp.. I purposely used plenum rated cable, which has Teflon insulation instead of PVC...Do you think an insurance company would look more kindly upon diy cables of a different variety? I'd imagine they'd po... | |
| No bias reading, tubes lit up, no sound What a great story though! I'm interested to hear what you think of the classD amp too.. | |
| Selling in audiogon vs amazon vs ebay? I don't even think of looking for music on audiogon. I usually buy mine from online record stores or from discogs. You could try listing your vinyl there. Not sure how they are for classical though. | |
| Tune of the Day @reubent , @mofimadness finally, some others into some modern, electronic sounds! Great tracks.. | |
| How much do large Vinyl collections go for these days? I've sold stuff on discogs.. You may not get as high a price as an auction on eBay, but that's also not a guaranteed price either. For rare stuff, discogs is priced accordingly, though, so you will get a higher price for rare/in demand discs witho... | |
| Older DAC connection to my Macbook?? Have you tried it? What do you think? You definitely have an amazing system. When I said sota, I was thinking $100k+ systems.. Still think you've a ways to go to reach my completely arbitrary definition. | |
| Older DAC connection to my Macbook?? Indeed. As well as constantly advancing DAC chip technology. But there's nothing wrong with older units if the rest of your system isn't top of the line, state of the art stuff. | |
| Older DAC connection to my Macbook?? Or just use the digital optical output on the macbook. Like @randy-11 said, the headphone output is also the toslink output. You’ll just need one of those little adapters to put on the end of the optical cable so it can attach to the ’headphone’ j... | |
| Power Cable DIY - Please advise @narcissus What did you end up getting? It's funny, because I chimed in about the connectors while @geoch was going on about yarbo cable. I'm getting ready to build another power cable and went to order the same cable I used before and it turns ou... | |
| speaker shopping @metman that kit does look nice. Response down to 30 Hz +/- 3db is pretty freaking solid.Just going off specs, though, I’d guess these aren’t the best for low power tube amps, since they have a sensitivity of only 87 dB | |
| interconnects vs speaker cables vs power cords - which make the biggest difference? Before you mess with all that, make sure you’ve sorted out room treatment and speaker placement. I’ve had a-ha! moments with power cords, interconnects and speaker cables. But the biggest a-ha! was better speaker placement and decent room treatmen... |
