  1. I agree... while the sellers responsibility is always his own in damaged goods claim, if he acted to try and resolve the issue a soft positive is in order.
  2. that holst painting is very cool... sign me up for that one
  3. Can i ask why you went with thw 1500 over the 1200? Nice table either w a y Curious
  4. To late... i just bought the damm thing
  5. well... one good thing about this is, if they ever go up for sale... there will be buyers ready. I had been contemplating Bob's corns for a month or two.
  6. I hate that feeling... but it happens all to often. source material is hideous at times.
  7. Pictures please... do they sound like, in your mind, they need to be attenuated?
  8. I am considering getting a Panamax M5400... has anyone has anything bad with the panamax line? I am concerned with the unit adding interference or back ground sound to my system. thanks
  9. Good for you... i am glad someone will really love them. I would absolutely zero doubt as to there ability to perform as expected Congrates
  10. ask him if they've been in a flood recently
  11. I am curious, how are the edges finished to get a clean angle/edge and zero gap... with a rasp/file?
  12. I just make my own stuff as I am sure most listeners do... I had not heard of the Kodak additive. I may try that. Decreases the water-surface tension on the emulsion Minimizes water marks and streaks on film Promotes faster, more uniform drying Interesting... doesn't say anything about static, but who knows.emulsion is definitely more fragile that a record.
  13. starting to get excited over here!
  14. I am not personally unhappy with my sw 115... i was. Just thinking gjefe may be an alternative for me
  15. I may opt to try some blue jeans specified cables interesting article from Blue Jeans Cables... Conclusions: Our conclusion is that for rejection of low-frequency, high-energy noise, just as electrical theory would suggest, a coaxial cable with a highly-conductive double braid shield will outperform similar braid/foil and single braid cables. When we recently had our own unbalanced audio cable, BJC LC-1, custom-built by Belden, we went with the same shield configuration found on the best performer of these: Canare LV-77S, but with a softer texture for better flexibility and lower capacitance for less high-frequency rolloff. This new cable replaces our prior recommendation of LV-77S for subwoofer use and Belden 1505F for general audio use. Does this mean, then, that a double-braid cable will always be the best choice from a noise rejection standpoint? Not necessarily. First, for video and RF applications, where RFI is an important consideration, the 100% coverage offered by a good foil/braid combination (e.g., Belden 1694A) will outperform a braid-only shield. Second, it's possible, in an RF-noisy environment (for example, a home close to radio and TV broadcast antennas), for RF to play a role in audio quality as well. Strong RF signals can enter audio circuits and be "rectified," stripping their high-frequency content and causing audible interference. In such a situation, a braid/foil shield may well provide the more effective shield; but for most users, in most environments, EMI is a far more likely cause of audio mischief than RFI, and the highly conductive double braid will reduce this low-frequency noise more effectively.
  16. they are already for sale... [] if anyone wants to try them out... let me know before the auction closes. $90pr. and I haev two sets...(I am sure they were MUCH more expensive new) I already ordered a set of mono's to try out. I am not to sure about the coax set up, but they are so cheap it's not a big deal. I would like to try some kimbers out, but I am not ready for another $100+ et of wires that make my set up soudn like shyte. the only reason I am changing from my CHEAPO set up RCA's is because they are on the slight short side and a little unsightly. FWIW... can you guys take a look at these and tell me what you think? AB Systems they say solid silver... this chinese seller also has some interesting looking Copper cables. AK for sale
  17. I would agree with everything in that statement form the website... they do appear fragile. and while the ones I have have been delivering sound, the sound that comes across is not that impressive... back to eBay they go.
  18. beautiful... want to do mine how much wood working skill does it take to do a complete veneer? I am very mechanical and meticulous, but I have NO wood skills... yet.
  19. I mean... the nordost are certainly impressively made. they are beautiful to look at, but why don't they work? luckily I was able to find the deal via eBay... I guess they are off to eBay again. thankfully I don't pay full retail on any f my audio gear. as for my system, all I want is performance, not aesthetics... I will check out some of the recommendations listed here. I have been looking at Kimber, but I dont want to be bitten again.
  20. Clocking of the connector itself on the female can cause audible issues? as far as everything else... placement of components... the only thing I did was swap in and out the interconnects. are we gaining anything by using unshielded wiring like the nordost I posted above? because from where i am sitting, I would rather go to radio shack and use the cheapest shielded wires I can find if they are going to sound this good.
  21. what top section did you use with those for yoru system OP?
