| Bob Bundus was wrong. Audiophiles, like most men, round up! | |
| What do you think about this cable company? Tok2000, the company that I had the positive experience with was HomeGrown Audio. The other companies I won't go into here, as I am sure there will be a lot of blood if that happens.I am happy to say that in addition to being wonderful to deal wit... | |
| What do you think about this cable company? Tok2000, you are a well intentioned, honorable person.I think this episode is serving as a learning experience, which is what life is all about. Continuing to grow forever, as if we do not grow, we are regressing.Cable companies are a breed apart ... | |
| What do you think about this cable company? I have been approached several times by people asking me to review cables. Thankfully, this has not happened in the past year and a half. My hope is that as the economy turned down, taking high end audio with it, the fire has been quenched somewha... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Wow, such undeserved words of kindness. Thank you so much.I no longer work in the field, although I do miss it. Stupid story, if you all will allow. American manufacturing is about as bad as things can get. In my previous job, I developed a produc... | |
| Recomended tubes for my Cary Audio? You should try Svetlana or JJ EL34 tubes. They both will give you a nice improvement in the sound. Which you like depends on your tastes.The 5691 recommdation seems like good advice. Especially, coming from Cary.This amp is a little underpowered i... | |
| PSB Gold,tweeter upgrade. Sharpe49, I think you are well on your way to making a very good speaker a great one.Your impressions of the PSB Gold are spot on. The Vifa metal dome is harsh sounding, and a bit hashy. A good soft dome would solve this problem, and the Vifa D27T... | |
| single disc sacd player for 300 used I have never heard of the XE - 670, thanks for clueing me in about it!I would welcome the opportunity of hearing what this player sounds like. So far, my impressions of the Sony players is that they can be nice. But, as we go further down the SACD... | |
| PSB Gold,tweeter upgrade. Jeff, thanks for your input. I have not listened to Mills, but take your word on them.The SCR capacitors, while built in the same factory as the Solens, are a better capacitor. They use a 7 mil polypropylene film, with a thicker aluminum depositio... | |
| single disc sacd player for 300 used David99, I think you need to get the 333ES. I own one, and despite being a 5 disc changer(I worried about this also), it does feature good sound. I tried the CD775 and NSV500, and both are more thin, harsh, and edgy. The ES player is a great deal ... | |
| PSB Gold,tweeter upgrade. I think this is a great thing you are pursuing!My recommendation is to check out the Vifa D27TG - 45. You will have to check the specs, but it may be a drop in for your Vifa metal dome(don't want to get your hopes up). It is a 1" silk dome tweeter... | |
| FedEX Ground, sure they aren't really BROWN??? Well, after initially calling to FedEX Ground on Tuesday, I needed to make many, many calls to them in order to get anywhere. I must say that apart from the first person who I spoke to, no one beyond that was bad. Everyone tried to be helpful, and... | |
| What's the deal with palladium?? Gregm, pure elemental metals are generally very soft. This is why the term "malleable" is often used in descriptions. However, upon being alloyed with other metals, a very hard material can be produced. It's kind of a paradox that normally when tw... | |
| Shawn Colvin anyone? I too, am a big fan of Shawn Colvin. Quite an angelic voice singing those dark songs. Always found how sunny(no pun intended) she could sound in describing a woman burning the house down. Last album was more upbeat than usual.My experiences with h... | |
| What do these tubes sound like? Herman, you make some good points. I did preface my statements with a line about amplifier circuits and transformers being more critical than the tube itself. I agree with your statements about the VAC. However, their use of this tube in this mann... |
