I guess this is made in Japan Triode TRV-84HD

Here's a small pic of the CEC HD 51

SHURE FP22

I think it's the grounding problem. I had the same problem before with my SAC amp. A local shop owner told me to ground the amp. So I connected the amp and the window steel frame with a cheap speaker cable. Then I stuck the amp a little bit out of the sill so the bottom of the amp will...

Based on the tax rate, 50,00 Vs 25,00, I think W2002s are better than W1000s or A1000s. Then from the purity of the copper, 99.9999997¢H Vs 99.9997¢H, I guess W1000s are better than A1000s. So IMHO W2002s > W1000s > A1000s

speaking of the devil, I just got a pair of custom made RCA to XLR cables.

When I bought the SAC amp I asked Jan to make me an adapter so I can also plug my HD580 with the SAC amp. Jan said he has never done that before and he might have to rewire the amp. Jan opened the amp and later found out that the wiring was wrong. kwkarth should be the first person to...

Burnaby??? hm... quite difficult to get there, still a few blocks away from my home. I'll bring the AKG K1000 earspeakers and the matched AKG SAC amp. I also have a pair of HD580s and a AMC 8B cd player.

They are selling on audiogon for $400. http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.p...wek&1040356906 Anyone knows something about them?? They look quite nice.

I'm just having a very very bad week. Maybe I was just too emotional.

I think it was a "Realistic" or something like that. Never heard of that brand. It looks heavy, big and quite well built.

yeah, my bad. I think I was a little "naive" to jump on the topic to attack the people behigh the two companies and critize their "business ethics" when I understood just part of the whole story. But still, IMO the HP-100 is still a better amp.

Quote: Gee, I hope I never have to deal with you on a professional level. Did you mean you will never make an amp to Matthew-Spaltro.

Congratulations, Matthew-Spaltro, college education is almost a must in order to survive in this world now.

Thanks guys.

I went to a hifi store to check out some cables. Having some conversation with the owner, who's making and selling his own tube amps there, then I saw an old and heavy turntable sit there. He said it is for $65 then put a LP on it. Then, amazingly, he dropped some water on the LP then put the...

In you case, I would suggest you to split the money to buy an amp and a CD player. Quote: I hang around here quite a bit and I didn't see any 'raves' about the CD3000 Obviously you haven't been here long enough. I tested the Grado 325, X-can and Cary 308 CD player combo...

It seems to find a place to meet together in Vancouver area is quite difficult!!!

Quote: congrats everybody! Now, before any does, I CALL 300K! I wish I had that number on my cheque.

Hey Neruda, how many courses you're taking? Do you have any mid-terms, ASSignments and papers??? It seems to me that you are spending too much time here and not getting your tuition fees worth. I'm also wondering you'll spend more money either on Alcohol or on equipment.

Quote: People with wise eyes and analytical mind shall not have trouble picking up the contradictions that you have made in your argument. Please do not comment on product quality when you have never seen the actual product of REALITY, not to mention the earlier HP-100 prototypes. A...

I think my AMC 8b is a cheap CD player. I'm going to save some money to buy an entry level Audio Note DAC. I heard a Cary 308 CD player today with Musical Fidelity X-Can and the Grado 325. The combination wasn't that good. Lots of warm mid-range, but I couldn't get the famous punching deep...
