| Copper Sleeve over IEC The copper couplers are working extremely well in all locations.My crappier recordings are sounding very listenable, and at loud levels.This is the most effective, cheapest tweak ever applied to my rig, and I've done many over the years, installin... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Nasaman,Lowe's is a better bet, even though I found their bins a complete mess.#222144 corresponds to a 1-1/2" coupler.Bring your cord and get the size that fits closest, you may need 1-1/4" so read the label on the coupler to verify. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Undertow, I gathered that conclusion among other things as well as tweaks, eg. P/C's, tube types, interconnects, speaker cables etc.Power supply is a very key matter, ask a guy like Paul or Brian at TRL, I had a long phone conversation with them.I... | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC First few notes upon fire-up and wow again.More fully developed harmonics and smoothness, like another component upgrade.AC wreaks an evil havoc on sound, controlling it is the key, but not always an easy task. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC I was able to rearrange AC ends on back of the Hydra adding sleeves over the AC ends of the transport, dac and preamp.If I notice any decrease what so ever, I'll remove the preamp AC sleeve first, per above comment(s) | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Undertow,Blu-Tack's a GREAT idea to take up the excess I.D. and damp.I'm doing that on the 2 stock P/C's to the amps, thanks for the tip ! | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Bombaywalla-man,I LOVE your Scintillas !!Try McMaster Carr or cruz to a local hardware store if you strike out at Home Dumbpot or Lowesly.Take your P/C with you and gage it on the spot, that's what I did. | |
| Been wondering about this for years.... Aptquark,Yes, Pioneer Kuro or Elite Pro series plasma.Kirkus, I personally hate Ebay myself and only suggested it as reference. | |
| Been wondering about this for years.... Aptquark,Go to Ebay, type Beovision Avant or item #150330121112, a 32" BluePearl in Maryland for 2K. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Ozzy,I might have some clearance problems at the AC ends due to very close spacing on the back of the Hydra and size of the Shunyata cords.I'll try and give it a shot, without scraping the lettering or heatshrinks on a 2K P/C !For a nice look, I u... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier A tube regulated power supply with oil filled caps is my next question. | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier My guess is Joseph is taking care of family matters at this time.Sherod, U-DA-MAN !! | |
| anyone else notice the meridian speakers in...... Rhymes with sniff ! | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC Ozzy,I put copper sleeves on the IEC ends for the transport, dac, preamp, mono amps & twist-lock P/C to the Hydra, the sound in my rig is fabulous.This tweak did much more of an improvement than changing tubes or power cords, about a good 15%-... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond or Aerial 20T v2. Congrats AudiodreamerI've listened to Aerial 20T V2's extensively at my friends place and love-em.I love Avalons a hell of a lot too, esp. the Diamonds and Isis, but hey, we're talking about two fantastic speaker manufacturers, my only other would... |
