| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I had one side working on the CDP ,but I tried myself several times to get it to work correctly .No go!I just put Eichmann Connectors on and they work great.Sometimes my IC to my Amp goes also.I imagine it's the conntect area of the wire itself.Yo... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit There is a new article that mentions OTA Cable that should be of intrest to people here.I could not copy it so take a look! | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have been informed that there is a way of Braiding OTA in order to get better performance and to use it as an Digital IC.Does anyone have a copy of the way to Braid it they could send to me or what are your experiences with Braiding it?I will al... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Seriously considering getting this Kit if the facts are still valid to what people are saying about this Cable(Best Cable for under $1K).If you consider getting Kimber Silverstreak IC's then adding a good set of Speaker Cables and that cost is mor... | |
| CD Direct and DAC's Was trying to use the CDP Vol. Control using CD Direct!The DAC does not have a Vol. Control,so I must get have a Pre-Amp in the loop in order to use the DAC!Thanx! | |
| Better B&K amp? I had my ST-202 Modified to have a DC Coupling cicuit,newer Risistor\Caps installed,Star Grounding and re-wiring.Plus having the BIAS turned up to run higher Class A!That is the best of it and it is a totally different Amp!Same Transistors though!... | |
| What is the worst recorded CD you have? recieved or bought C,S,N&Y "American Dream"!Pretty good examples to what to lookout for! Wonder how many some guy somelace has of the ones mentioned thus far.If there is a guy that has more than say 4 he probably has an old 70's reciever syste... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse I'll keep the sucker and watch out for the jinx of BMG cd's!Thanx for the concern though! | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have a set of M15's and am getting a set of M50's!I would not want to sell them unless I get into trouble replaceing Driver's!Nothing I can buy less than $4000 would be comparable to them in my mind.I also have a set of Maggies and the NEAR's ar... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse I agree that BMG's CD's are inferior to regular House Brand CD's.I have a few and find them very dry sounding.Like lack of air and soundsage!Do not have 2 to do a comparision ,but I alway's thought there was something missing in their Manfacturing... | |
| B&K ST2140 or Odyssey Stratos 150? You are kidding yourself if you want to compare the type of performance of a Yamaha and some other mid-priced amps to an American made B&K!There is no contest!I would say there are good Japanese made amps,but they are few!Most B&K owner's ... | |
| Better B&K amp? I have an ST-202 which was modified in CT.!If at the time I had found a EX-442 I might have opted for it ,but i would still have gone with the Modification for the unit!The mod. brought it closer to being in the class of a world class amp so I am ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I would just like to commend you on your coming to the BB to clear up misconceptions.I have no stake here as your Pre-Amp is out of my range at this time,but I sometimes come here to see what is said!Paul Lam who markets the FT Audio LW-1 answers ... | |
| BNC Connectors- Do they really hurt performance? A very good Q!I wonder why there is such a fuss about the connector point!The cable is another issue to take into account.I am starting to lean towards Cables being of Low Impedence,have good sheilding and the Connector being True 75 ohm connector... | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO One Tweek that can be done immediately is getting rid of the 9V PSU unit.I had a Variable Ratshack unit I used in it's place.I do think that having the Op Amp and it BIAS'd to Class A operation would be a big step in the right direction!There seem... |
