| Perlite Speaker Stand Filler Anyone tried steel shot? Since shotguns loaded with lead is banned in some places, there are companies that make steel shot, both plain and with zinc coating (rust resistant).The stands I'm considering filling are tubular steel, so steel shot wo... | |
| MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets I hope I don’t confuse things more. I began Porter Ports many years ago here at Audiogon as a personal project when I rewired my homes electrical to benefit my audio system. I tried several brands and designs of outlets and preferred the Hubbell 2... | |
| Sanders 10B Electrostatic ivanj,Thanks for advice but that was a couple of years ago. The purchaser has moved on.For what it's worth the ARC Ref 250 is no longer in my system but it was a great amp, better than many I've had here. I do prefer my Allnic M3000 and M5000 ... | |
| Billy Bags Pro 24 Amp Stands Bump, hoping someone wants to let their pair go :-) | |
| Mark of a scammer...learn not to burn. I would accept his offer, wire transfer only and be sure his payment is in the Fed before shipping.I've done this before, customer in Asia and want shipped to USA address. I just tell them my responsibility ends with signature collected by FedEx... | |
| DALI MEGALINE AMPS & CROSSOVER How you ever went back to a point source speaker after the ML’s Mr. Porter I’ll never know.Can you please explain to me why the 6” woofers are ‘more in need of what tubes do’? Never heard that before although I don’t doubt you for a moment! Also,... | |
| DALI MEGALINE AMPS & CROSSOVER I ran Dali Megaline for more than 10 years, tried multiple amps on them and got different results with each change. Short answer is you must use same amps on both top and bottom, otherwise nearly impossible to get fully integrated sound. I tried... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt I agree with chayro, no way to predict but butcher block maple is what I choose so I guess I like it’s sonic signature.McMaster Carr has butcher block food prep sheets, thick ones, up to 2.25” if I remember correctly. Cheap as anything since it’... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse Sorry, I don't know current market value of your Calypso versus used version Aesthetix Callisto.If value of your Calypso plus $3500.00 would put you in a Callisto, I would move to the higher range model. Later you can upgrade the Callisto to Ec... | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Signature to Eclipse I’ve upgraded from Callisto basic to Signature and then to full Eclipse. However, the Aesthetix Calypso is another animal.I don’t know the cost of the upgrade you are asking about, but would venture a guess that a used Aesthetix Callisto Sig would... | |
| THE SHOW AT NEWPORT BEACH 2016 I’m there with Peter and Jim Aud of Purist Audio Design, as Peter said, room 1147 and 1149. | |
| Tube rolling for Aesthetix Io power supply It's possible to use EL34, KT77 and KT66. If I remember correctly a hole must be punched in the chassis top to clear the KT66.Best (most accurate) sound is probably with the EL34, best of those in my experience is old, genuine Mullard. The KT77... | |

| Aesthetix Io transformer noise After reading this I can only conclude Aesthetix must have changed a lot since I owned them. My IO and Callisto were first rate and transformers were quiet. Yes, finding superb, quiet tubes is tougher than ever especially if you love NOS variet... | |
| Replacing the speakers link with silver wire I have some top quality silver (and Teflon) wire here I can send you in a first class letter provided you only need a short piece. Then you have nothing invested and can experiment.What could it hurt? |
