| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Hi Meby,You are mostly correct, as that is one of the concerns providing it is being plugged into a hospital grade outlet, that it will not arc. If you do not plug it into a well designed outlet, it still could. The other design approach is to lim... | |
| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? Ok, here is my current thought train on this; Yes, I agree that I would not want to be "hooked up" in a hospital with lamp cord and a $1.49 plug. Fortunately for me, none of my gear came with such low grade pcs. I truly doubt that when Nelson Pass... | |
| Sony 555 vs. 333 as transport? Without doubt, I would go for an S9000ES. It's not what you asked, but that is my advive. T | |
| Anything wrong with Treshold "T" series?? I will stand corrected after reading the above posts, and I will explain why. I suggested a possible bias for a Nelson Pass design as the dealer's reason to steer you away from the T series, however knowing now about the IGBT factor, I think I wou... | |
| Can you get great analog sound from analog tape? I use a Nakamichi CR-7A, which is calibrated and clean. It makes very acceptable analog recordings. The noise floor is higher, but the imaging is right on with the source. I use this primarily to tape things I either wish to keep stone mint or can... | |
| Please explain Mulholland drive? The only thing Memento and Mullholland have in common is that you need to pay attention, once you see the end of Memento and understand it, it's over. I couldn't watch it again. Mullholland is completely different in that respect, and I think if L... | |
| Anything wrong with Treshold "T" series?? Hi Chazzbo,I've not heard of any problems with the T series. I could be that the dealer is a Nelson Pass design fan, and is just somewhat biased against the T, which Nelson was not involved with. Jon Solderberg of Vintage Amp.com you tell you more... | |
| Need newbie explanation on grounding components. Hi Darryl,Before you do anything, call your power company and have them come out and check the ground to your service. They will (should) do this for free and most times the power company will check the outlets as well as a customer service. If th... | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound So Bob, if I understand you correctly, your advise based on personal experience and wisdom is; to make a poor sounding componet sound good, change interconnects and power cables? Interesting, I thought you were being sarcastic since most responses... | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound I'm sorry to ask, but do you replace nails in your tires with screws? Nothing personal... Tom | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound My feelings exactly! That's what I was trying to say in my last post on this thread. Find equipent that sounds good even with the cheapest cables, and then fine tune with quality cables. When your cable to connect a component to another exceeds th... | |
| Any one old enough to remember? Hi Skip,I'm really testing the brain cells on this one, but is this a chrome plated low mass tone arm with an anti-skate that hangs over a glide rail on mono-filament? or was that the Grace? Over the years the Grace, Black Widow and this one have ... | |
| Any one old enough to remember? Hey Skip,I know someone mentioned the dampening possibly being bad. I would say no question, it's bad. I am an audiophile as well as a record collector, and stiff boots will KILL vinyl!The pressure at the tip of that diamond combined with the vibr... | |
| How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound I have to agree with Sean and any one else who pointed a finger at the Hafler pre. I strongly disagree with anyone suggesting cable changes to solve this problem. You could probably spend the rest of your life and thousands of dollars on different... | |
| Does anyone know anything about a Forte FP-1 phono Just an update to my last post. Jon Solderberg contacted me this evening with some great news! The Forte FP-1 is the identical circuit design as in the FET 10PC. The only difference is the power supply, which by chance, I have a spare E power supp... |
