| diy power cord: Shinyata black mamba Homegrown Audio sells 22 gauge, solid core, teflon insulated silver for $2.80/ft. 50+ ft would be $1.80/ft. I agree with Dekay, the cost would be too high for a DIY. At least using 30 gauge. With 22 ga., it would be cheaper. But still... You can f... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Amen Tubegroover. So far, I am enjoying the series. Has taught me a lot. And, if anyone can make a better program, do it. I'll watch that too. | |
| Best speaker for a 40 watt tube amp Lots of directions you can go in. I have Coincident, and love them in this application. I also really have a fondness for Triangle. Extremely open and alive sound. Vandersteen 1s and 2 also may something that you would be interested in checking out. | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Have not heard this piece yet Shubertmaniac. Your musical knowledge is more than impressive to say the least. I did get a $100 gift certificate at Tower Records for Christmas, so that one may make it onto the final cut. Thanks for the informative ... | |

| Help!My systems sound too bright Listen to Brulee's advice. He knows what he is talking about. The Tara cables are not bright. Do not give up the Jadis magic. If you still have this problem in the end, simply switch to JJ(Telsa/Teslovak) KT88 output tubes. They will warm everythi... | |
| How about a soldering thread? Dacostab, you need to get one of those little devices that soaks up the fumes(like the smokeless ashtrays). My old company(where we soldered all the time) had a bunch of them. It is not the lead that causes problems, but the flux. It is organic, a... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Whatever negatives aside, as a diehard jazz junkie, I am really stoked for this series. I don't see any other programs so dedicated to the subject. And short of being enrolled in Sdcampbell's class, this is the best I can do. Whatever and whoever ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? You are always on point Garfish. I agree with everything you just said. I think the reason people like Fremer is that he pushes analog over digital. Otherwise, he makes more neophyte reviewer(even for us amateurs here) mistakes than should be acce... | |
| Who 'won' the show at CES Thanks Chival for your detective work. Air Tight is the best brand that no one talks about on this site. Better than most of what we tend to recommend. Really gets to the heart of what's important, the music. Any news there on universal(CD/SACD/DV... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! My local Sunday paper(Philadelphia Inquirer) really hyped the series. There are jazz articles in an entertainment section(including one on the series itself), and the included Iquirer magazine. And the series is highlighted in the included TV week... | |
| Best sounding preamp under 2K? Give the Blue Circle preamps a listen. Either new, or a more upmarket used unit. I LOVE them. They do not use 6922s. My friend had two he auditioned for me a while back. They impart a great tube sound, while being quite detailed and extended. Not ... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! Thanks Charlie! I would have missed it, were it not for your post. | |
| preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn Sedond, I think your Melos is an excellent preamp. Better than the VTL, Rogue, and Linn. Others you may want to try are Air Tight, Blue Circle, upper level CJ, Hovland(I have not heard this one), and Jadis. There are surely more, but that's all I ... | |
| preamps - vtl tl5.5/rogue 99/linn kairn Sedond, I think you should first decide what type of sound and music you like. What you want to get out of this preamp. I truly believe just throwing out a name of a nice preamp to you is not the road to the ultimate system for YOU. I think synerg... |
