    IsoAcoustic Speaker Isolators Vs Speaker Spikes / Component Isolators Vs Premium Products Like Critical Mass Systems

    My speakers weight in @133 pounds each and so far the Gaia l’s are the only feet that will handle them. Are they really worth $1k plus Carpet feet? Is there a used market or a try before you buy for them? Thanks.

    Aretha Franklin, the ‘Queen of Soul,’ Dies at 76

    So sad she passed so young. She seemed to be a good person, and if she wasn't, I'm not sure I want to hear any of the dirt. I want to remember her from the Blues Brothers. JD

    Arc and Power Cables

    I have a new to me SP9 MKii that is hard wired. Has anyone taken the plunge and put an IEC connector on any of the older SP's? Thanks. JD

    SP-9 MKii update question

    I’m going to start with Caps first and tube roll second. Still not keen on altering the metal, but maybe an IEC tail. Who knows. I might shelve the thing and get a Prima Luna. BTW, thanks for the ideas. JD

    Tube rolling for an ARC SP-9 MKii

    Thanks for the link Steve N. I’ll add them to the list. If I buy the CCa tubes and some Golden lions, it will just about double what I have in the preamp! LOL Also looking at Harma, Amperex and Mullard. One cool thing about this preamp, is the TT and the line circuits are separate, so...

    SP-9 MKii update question

    Yep, either of those thoughts are doable. I’d be More inclined to solder in something and not leave a tail. Also, if I put on a tail, the what if’s about that last six inches of the original cord would bug me forever. JD

    SP-9 MKii update question

    DaveyF, I’m still agreeing with you. The SP-9 MKii does not have an IEC plug, and this one won’t get one. JD

    SP-9 MKii update question

    Thanks for the reply. I’m not seeing your link, but as I said, I just got this thing and am trying to get a feel for it and ideas for updates. I will check again tomorrow. JD
