When to get your amp up graded caps ???
For any amp owner wondering about upgrade necessity I am willing to bet that a call to somebody who upgrades amps will result in an immediate suggestion to upgrade and/or replace stuff. I think in a lot of cases the saying, "If it ain't broke, etc... 
Stupid question
AC signal? I thought we were talking about speaker cables. At least I was. 
Have you donated yet?
Forgive me for "harshing anybody's mellow"...but while they're at it I suggest they ask the "youth" why they exhibit near zero social conscience and among those eligible to vote do so at the stunning rate of 11%. Is the govt out of control? Who ca... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
As a singer, I am now learning to perform test tones in case of an electrical grid meltdown. I have a large head but agree that, in the words of the respected bass player Will Lee, "everybody needs a little head." 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Did I mention Ronstadt's head...HUGE...like a gigantic Mexican mellon...just frightening....scares small children...although I doubt there's a connection to her vocal chops. 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
Well mister "Ted Denney III"...prior to a show you should rent a truck, put the entire entire system in it powered with a generator, drive it fired up all the way to the audio show, carry the whole damn thing in there while it's still running, and... 
mogami interconnects
I agree up to a point...but if the cables (or any component) are SO bad I can't stand 'em (this was a first actually) I say NO NO NO...the AQs, although sounding better after a couple of weeks, sounded pretty damn good right out of the box. I assu... 
Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End
Ronstadt, from a musicians point of view, had/has what is generally considered a kick ass voice...she could peel paint from your ceiling...strip the chrome off yer tailpipes...or something. In any case, I've never heard it described as "small" (I'... 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
I read someplace that Eric Johnson claims to sense different tonal characteristics in his guitar sound when comparing various brands of 9 volt batteries in his effects boxes. So there. And, interestingly, since I'm not actually wiring up all these... 
Kavent S33 owners...are you out there?
Yeah still no respondo from Kelsie...I used 2 different email addresses for them..."Raeon" and "Shan Lei"...oh well. I assume the preamp will run forever but I have to wonder what they did with whatever gear they had left, including one of the coo... 
mogami interconnects
I've used Mogami for mic cable for years...so I figured a pair of 'em from Guitar Center would work from my Kavent pre balanced to to my beloved Forte' 55. Balanced gold Neutrik...and man...unlistenable, and I'm not a cable snob but apparently the... 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
I bought some midrange AQ balanced cables and they sound somewhat better after a couple of weeks. I measured them and they sound exactly 32% better than when new (I used a measuring cup). Also...I don't care what any "technical" smarty pants says.... 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
I bet somebody has asked this someplace but I wonder if I could hook up my own batteries to the cables I have? 
Kavent S33 owners...are you out there?
My S33 was ordered late March...perhaps their last hurrah? 
Do Interconnects need to "warm up"?
AQ has an entire technology based on cables staying "warmed up" (DBS) from batteries (at least I think that's what they do)...I like it! I don't own any...but hey...I STILL like it!
