| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Not so limited Kana813 - I must've seen 'em live at least 10 times, and they actually crashed at my house one night on their very first tour; we even jammed. However, you are correct in noting that any conclusion involving the sainted 'Mats may no... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Followup postscript: Today (next day) I received a powercord I bought here on Audiogon, and threw it right into the system, supplying the power amp. Swapping it a few times with my reference cord, and playing one cut repeatedly in a similar test t... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Followup: I tried an informal experiment. My gear rack is on casters, so I repositioned it (from where it lives centered between the speakers) to a spot over to the side where the main AC cord could just reach both my normal outlet (now the Porter... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I'm cryoing right now! OK, the best 'Replacement outlet' I ever witnessed was when their late, great lead guitarist Bob Stinson got so blind drunk on stage he turned around and took a whizz on his own damn amplifier (kept right on playing afterwar... | |
| Review: Classe Audio 70 Amplifier I believe mine had the blue filter caps - certainly not red anyway. Couldn't tell you about the serial # or transistors (if I had to guess I'd probably say Motorola, but that's far from certain). Does anyone know if the blue cap iteration is assum... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test [...P.F. Sloan/Steve Barri, '65. Uh, mebbe I should've jumped off a bridge instead... ;^) ] | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I think I'll sign off from this thread with a few apropos lines lifted from a Blondie chestnut:"No I don't believe in luckNo I don't believe in circumstance no moreAccidents never happenIn a perfect worldPrecognition in my earsComplications disapp... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Stehno: No 'disgrace' at all in taking on the risk of an experiment like this in public (would Maxgain?). And I wonder, philosophically speaking if you'd ultimately feel you really gained more at the end of the day, had you happened to choose the ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Of course my assumption about Stehno's results is that if he went through the same blind audition identification process on the outlets 100 times, the final tally would be pretty close to 50/50 (implying a success rate little different than pure c... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test It *is* interesting how cryo never seems to be alleged to make anything sound worse, or that its promoters don't seem to find it ineffective in any area...Speaking of there being no money in cryo, I don't know if that's true across the board, but ... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Geoffkait: It was meant to be a funny story on a slimly related note, not really a perfect analogy. You read it slightly wrong though, it was the owner of the distributorship (who employed me - I was one of the salesmen) that visited the breweries... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Eldee: I regret if there are any Jehovah's Witnesses out there reading along, but I was LOL at that analogy! Too true...I once did the same thing (invite them in) when I was just a teenager. A husband and wife I believe - got them something to dri... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test I thought you would say something like that about why your faith is still strong. Yes, it's only what you hear that matters to you, but maybe it's time to dial-back on the hearty recommendations for others or at least qualify them somewhat, and to... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Hdm: Cure for my skepticism? You're a bigger optimist than I thought! (Especially after the Eldartford and Stehno experiences above...What does it take to shake your faith that this tweak might not be everything you thought?) But I'll tell you wha... | |
| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test [Ahem. Sorry again for the 'novel' here, folks...]Hdm: I agree that it would seem self-evident that if switching to a cryo'd outlet could make an incremental improvement, then switching more than just one outlet within the system would presumably ... |
