| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Just a note...I noticed the phone number for Kelsie is missing from their site, and I haven't received a reply to an email I sent 'em. Oh well... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I drilled a hole in my freezer in order to route my cables through it...they seem to sound better but my food is getting soft, my popsicles are melting, and my girlfriend just doesn't understand...I wonder if it was worth it. | |
| Stupid question Let me know exactly when you do it so I can make sure I put on my tinfoil hat, as that provides the necessary insulation against such untoward activities. Make sure after you hook 'em up backwards you have time to duck behind the couch. | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? Just looked up the Shiit Audio site and am completely impressed. I now want one (my thing in audio is really "bang for the small buck" and the Shiit stuff just looks so cool)...although I haven't been listening to headphones that much except when ... | |
| Kavent S33 owners...are you out there? I guess you have to email Kelsie Audio for Kavent, although I haven't communicated with them since I bought the S33...good luck! 'Jedinite...I gave up for now (impatient, and the Diamonbacks I had bought previously started sounding really great) o... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? Like a good wine it needs to breathe...or something. | |
| Bob Dylan's Hifi? He is so wealthy he has people who listen FOR him. | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? System refresher disc? Wow...I play music through my rig all day (if I'm home) so when guests arrive they have a warmed up system to ignore while I bore the crap out of them describing how cool it all is. Then I change the belt on my Linn to the 4... | |
| Need a Speaker Recommendation I use a pair of "Stereophile recommended" Silverline Preludes bought from Ebay for half the original price (with shipping I think they were under $500)...and they sound great (kind of need a sub though...so I use a REL 10" with 'em). | |
| Need a Speaker Recommendation Only issue with Vandys is that you can't take them apart to look at stuff, and cats can (and will) rip the crap out if 'em. I had some new 1Bs and after my cats messed them up I sent them back to Vandy to have them recovered and tightened up (I ca... | |
| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami In case anyone missed it...I recently had a bad (relatively) experience with some new 1 meter Mogami Neglex/Neutrik terminated balanced cables...they were surprisingly unlistenable in my system (Kavent S33, Forte' Model 55), and this is after usin... | |
| 5 legendary speakers? I had a pair of Altec A7s in the 70's...both for live sound and stereo stuff...they were sweet and I have no clue how accurate they were but they had a very appealing sound...with Phase Linear amps...oh yeah... | |
| Hi Fi in The Mechanic movie: what brand speakers? I guess it was "dweeby" in the context of the film as I normally like Shubert. | |
| Can bad LPs damage good cartridges? Is the lack of easy VTA adjustment another one? | |
| What are your favorite phono cartridges? AT 440MLA for under $150 new...amazing cartridge that I love deeply and often. |
