Any true audiophile knows that if you spend enough on the last 6 feet of cable to your equipment it will magically compensate for all of the crap wiring from the outlet back to the nearest electric company transformer. Your questioning of this apparent fact tells us that you have yet to grow a golden ear on the side of your head.

I am skeptical. The inductance and capacitance of speaker wire is measure in micro henrys and pica farads and the value of the inductors and capacitors in crossovers are measured in mili henrys and micro farads (3 orders of magnitude greater). I might conceeded an effect if you bi amp directly into the speakers.

Final also makes battery powered amps and preamps. I originally drove my Tipath amps with a battery but switched to a regualted 12 volt supply. I gave up on the battery concept when people started to discuss the sonic attributes of carbon vs ni-cad vs...

Tom, the only thing I miss about Chicago is Milwaukee Ave and the Polish sausages shops, since I am half Polish by marriage.

Those appear to be cabinets only.

At least it is not sleeping and shedding on your amp.

I would expect, for that kind of money, to get the original boxes and literature.

You might try probing the corner with an EMI (electromagnetic field meter). I picked one up for about $100 when I had a problem with interference withg a computer monitor.

I have never used a solder pot but am familiar with wave soldering machines. What keeps lead oxide from forming on the surface of the solder in the pot? I am looking into rewiring a tonearm with Litz wire (38 gage) and using a soldering iron to tin the ends does not work as well as I would like.

$100.

I just picked up one on Agon for $400. It seems to be quite nice. I have a SME III arm on it. The only complaint I have is that the arm board is a funny shape and it takes some time to cut one out. I also have a Teres motor that I plan on hooking up to it just as soon as I get a couple of houses sold. My previous TT was a Sony TTS 3000, that I moided (added lead to the platter rim and built a lead arm board).

As an ME, i just bought the 2020 eval boards and am runing them unmodified. They sound just fine to my untrained ear.

Premier Technical Sales in Mountain View, Ca. Being in San Jose, it was easy to just drive up and pick up the amps. They wanted a purchase order, so I had to find a website to gin one up.

From what I have read, the acuoustical phase shift in horns is vastly greater than anything that wires will affect.

I had a similar strange noise in one of my LS. Turns out the screws holding the woofer in place had come loose. Replaced them with allen head cap screws and the problem went away.

Fini, Great. I will send my address and of course pay for shipping.

Fini, What did you do with the broken BW? I am looking to lengthen an arm from 9" to 12" probably using titanium tubing. I was planning on using my SME III since the whole arm unplugs form the base, but a BW might work just as well.

I will second D-Man's advice. My wife and I live in two adjacent houses. She has her nice quiet enviroment and I have my sound system. Occationally during the summer, when the windows and doors are open, I get complaints from her to turn down the system.

Tell her you want a pair of these. She will be more than happy to compromise on the LS's.

It looks like he only has one unless he has another auction or I am reading it wrong.

What are the advantages of longer tonearms beyond the obvious lower tracking error? I have an SME 3009 S3 and it would appear to be fairly easy to mod the arm tube by replacing it with a longer tube. I can buy 12 Titanium tube from McMaster Carr and fashion a new head shell. I am wondering if it is worth the trouble? When I compare effective arm masses, my S3 is only 4.5 grams compared to 12 grams for the S 2 and 14 grams for the 3012 S2.

You guys obviouly don't remember the German (?) picutes of the white Khorns that showed up on Ebay about 6 months back. Much worse.
