    Alan Maher 3.0kva Isolation Filter w. Silver Snake PC $750 OBO

    The unit does indeed look just like the BPT 2.5 unit, I believe the primary difference being the unit contains a medical grade isolation transformer from Plitron of higher capacity than the balanced power models. The unit is of very high quality construction through and through.

    The Brick Wall units are considered by many (including myself) to be about the best surge protection available. Link Removed For an all-in-one unit with power conditioning and surge protection, The Power Director from PS Audio looks like a very capabile unit ($1495)

    Agree, could be a dangerous experiment thus I just thought I would ask and see if there were any tricks anyone knew about to see if it was operational

    What Belden cable to use for DIY interconnects?

    the 89259 is the one evangilized over at Audio Asylum. In my experience it makes an excellent subwoofer cable but somewhat less satisfying as a full rance ic

    FS: Boston Acoustics VR-12 Center (2)

    I am giving my ad a bump since both speakers are still available. I guess things are slow in the summer. The price remains $260 each.

    Sherbourn/Aragaon/Paradigm Question

    I know it sounds spooky but why is it that most people will accept a 12ga speaker wire is a good thing, but then on the front end they have all speakers being powered from an amp with 16ga power cord. It's all electricity.

    Sherbourn/Aragaon/Paradigm Question

    Ron, I am not an EE either and I agree with your point. Although, sometimes the EEs are so grounded in their theories / education / brainwashing as to not be able to acknowledge the obvious if using just ones ears. But I agree at this point it seems I probably have gotten most of my bang for the...

    Sherbourn/Aragaon/Paradigm Question

    Things can vary from system to system but, on my system all I can say is that the power cord upgrades have made an incredible difference. Prior to the upgrades, on demanding music (very fast attacking type bursts) something in the system was causing some distortion. The distortion was most...

    Sherbourn/Aragaon/Paradigm Question

    I am not sure of how the Sherbourn will match with your equipment but my 1500A is an excellent performer. One tip, though - this amp will benefit greatly from an upgraded, heavy gauge power cord. The power cord can be DYI.

    Seeking Best Reference Quality SACDs

    I have been enjoying a number of SACDs since acquiring my 555es a month or so ago, and generally consider the SACDs better than redbook in quality. Although, some of the better recorded CDs I think one may be hard-pressed to tell the difference. At any rate, my main issue thus far is nothing...

    FS: Rotel RB-985 MK II Amp 110w/ch - $575 OBO

    This amp would make an excellent upgrade from reciever power, which is what I originally used it for. Its power rating is very conservative in my opinion. It has not been driven hard and is in almost new condition. I am asking $575 shipped. p.s. this is a 5 channels amp at 110w/channel

    Recommend a SACD or two

    Yes sorry to rub it in but the Jeff Beck SACD I have is MC. I think it is a pretty good mix, too but something you might want to be aware of is much of the guitar is shifted to the right rear surround so you just need to have your room setup well, level and tone balanced, which is something I am...

    Recommend a SACD or two

    Like you, I do not have many SACDs yet because I am not familiar with most of the titles, and I have already wasted some money trying some things I was not familiar with. However, I did get lucky with Jeff Beck "Blow by Blow" in MC. Highly recommended.

    JBL S38 Brief Impression

    At this point I am planning on staying with my current setup. I had been thinking of swapping down, so to speak, as I could have made some good money selling my old stuff on eBay, and come out ahead based on what you can get the SSIIs for on the net. And the S36s would have been convenient as...

    JBL S38 Brief Impression

    After hearing so many good things, I brought home a pair of these from BB to test drive. I wanted to see how the sound from these speakers compared to my JBL L5s. This is not an apples to apples comparison by any means, as the L5s are tower speakers with four drivers and listed for about $500...

    Anybody using the sony ta-p9000es ?

    I have the TAP, and use it to switch between SACD and DVD players, as well as TV on the stereo input. I concur this is a great piece, totally transparent, although I do experience the warm-up hum issue, which lasts a few minutes when you turn the unit on. The easiest solution is to just leave...
