| AC POWER DISTRIBUTOR/POWER CABLE VERSUS DEDICATED In my last home I had an electrician install a 20 amp dedicated line, using 10 awg Romex. 10 awg Romex is tough to work with, but the electrician did it. Cost was about $200 and it was an excellent investment. Now regarding hospital grade outlets,... | |
| Cullen Crossover Power Cables I now have 4 sets of Cullen Crossover power cords and remain very pleased. I used the Cullen's on my amp, preamp, CD player, and power distribution strip. The other power cord I use is Supra. Not the easiest to find but it too is good stuff and us... | |
| CD player problems Got my 260D back- works perfectly- hopefully for the long haul | |
| Solder for ank legend monoblocks? I have Kester, WBT and Cardas solder. I do not care for the WBT- it doesn't flow well. Either the Kester or Cardas are good to work with. | |
| Cullen Crossover Power Cables I have 3 Cullen Crossover power cables in my system. They appear to be reasonably made. The connectors are good quality. I've not dissected a cable to take a look at the neatness of the work, but I have experienced zero issues and I have reason to... | |
| Bottlehead Crack Go to the Bottlehead crack forum, FAQ section, question #6. Using a 32 ohm headset, you'll be down 3 dB at 50hz | |

| Experiences buying used cartridges I've bought two used cartridges, a Linn Troika and a Linn Arkiv B. Both purchases were flawless. Both looked and worked great. I still have the Arkiv B But I can see how buying a used cartridge can be very risky. Over the years I've bought much us... | |
| How much does your system retail for? On 1/24/14 I posted as follows-"As far as my wife knows, maybe $1,500 tops."No longer have the wife. Stopped counting at $40,000. Gave the ex a bunch of $ too so what the heck. | |
| Personal amp evolution Well I'm back to separates. Sold the Pass INT-150 and bought a Pass XP-10 pre and an X150.8 amp. Finest setup to get grave my abodeBTW- Pass recommends balanced cables between their amps & preamps. I tried an unbalanced cable first then balanc... | |
| Linn Karik's CD drawer cannot be closed Your Karik owes you nothing. It gave you 19 years. How many of us have cars, washing machines, or refrigerators that old?I empathize, but the good news is it can be fun to buy new or gently used newer gear. | |
| CD player problems It's 3 years old, and it's now back at Sim for repair. I bought it new from an ADNever had a CD player fail before. I first had a Technics, then a CAL, then Meridian (first CD player that 'name sense' sonically), then a Rega and now the Sim which ... | |
| My system sounds great. Tubes are great and I still have them when listening to headphone (I have 2 Bottlehead headphone amps). I ran tubes for about a decade, first CJ gear (including a 17LS2 Premier preamp,which I thought was amazing), then Rogue gear, which I liked e... |
