| RE: Ethernet Cable /Patch Cable ...Any Difference? ====Can anyone weigh in here on whether or not there is any validity to the positive gains reported by others regarding various types of patch cables…====There is none. | |
| The Physics of Electricity Llanger, I'm afraid this is not the right website for this question. You'll just have to leg it to your nearest physics department if you want an answer.Here, there are too many people making real money selling these cables. You know how people ge... | |
| which amp around 2500-3500 ish If you like the tube/solid state hybrid approach (which the Peachtree uses), Van Alstine makes fantastic gear in the price range that you are looking at. | |
| Another Basic Question about Preamps At least a ratio of 10. The output impedance of the preamp indicates its reluctance to deliver current--the higher the impedance, the harder it is to send current. The input impedance of the amp is associated with its need for current--the lower t... | |
| AT&T to cap broadband usage. Streamers beware Perhaps it should be mentioned that this conversation is based in the USA? I wonder if they have this problem in Finland or South Korea. I would be surprised if they did.Metrization of a free resource (the cable is already laid down) is only meant... | |
| Best Karmina Burana performance Can't help with the Usher CD info, sorry.The Shaw on Telarc is a classic. I am fond of a more recent performance by the Atlanta Symphony with Runnicles, the soloists do very well and the recording quality is remarkable.It's a nice piece to show of... | |
| Best 6CG7 tubes for Van Alstine preamp? I've been using the Mazda Brimar 6cg7 because it's a little shorter than the other brands and thus it fits inside the chassis without modifications (this is an issue with previous AVA models, but not the ones that came out after Frank suggested th... | |

| Recommendation for Schubert Piano Trios Op 100 I like the Abegg trio recordings (not just the Schubert). I assume you have heard the Beaux Arts trio, what do you think of that recording? | |
| Which Amp/Pre-Amp combo with the Focal 826ws? It looks like you have set your heart on some reasonably efficient speakers, so a tube amp is a natural. You might as well find out if you are a tube guy, because if you are, it will be very hard to do as well otherwise.If you can play loud enough... | |
| Recommended e.g. not For an amp, there is the Van Alstine Ultra 550. Tube input stage, ss output stage. Close to 300 watts into 8 ohms. Fast fast fast, clean and solid... and it has tubes to tame the edges.Reason I like it: with this amp, I get clarity that rivals the... | |
| Which DAC prevails in this chain of converters? Ok, you have not given any model numbers so I'll keep this nice and abstract.digital info -> converted to analog signal -> piped to preampThe "digital info" part is pretty much the same, modulo some considerations that I have a really, reall... | |
| MHDT Havana vs Apogee Mini DAC ? I'm wondering if there is a significant reason why you would not simply use the optical digital output of the Mac? I have been using that and it works fine.Firewire is certainly preferable to USB (long conversation), but probably not preferable to... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Thank you for a very thorough and positive review. These are wonderful speakers, indeed, and John does a great job in reviving older versions of the current models with either a reconditioning or an upgrade.Let me add as a comment that I have been... | |
| Is the new Apple TV better than Squeezebox? Apple cripples iTunes by cutting off support for FLAC files. That alone is reason enough to keep your squeezebox. |
