| Phono preamp for Ortofon MC30 super Take a look at Heed Quasar. In my opinion very hard to beat at that price. | |
| what could have happened? Two suggestionsFirst, unplug all cables and clean and re-attach. Sometimes it is suprising what it can do.Second, check you speakers. Would be worried about a tweeter issue. If you have a left right "selector" on your amp, try to compare them and ... | |
| Best caps for speaker crossover? You should also take a look at Clarity cap from IWC - their SA range is extremely good, and unlike so many other brands, dont emphasise any particular part of the freq. Also - compared to many of the other brands, they are "relatively" cheaper.PS.... | |
| Matrix 801 with Rotel RMB 1095? StevenYou can use your 1095, but it will not be a perfect match. Have tried the combination myself, and the 1095 simply dont have enough current to really drive the 801. Another important thing is that the 1095 will make the 801 sound lean, which ... | |
| Electric power in Europe A small correction to the things mentioned above. All European countries now conform to the 230V standard. However most people tend to forget, and still refers to it as 220V.If you have equipment that can be set for 220, then they will not have an... | |
| Overseas Shipping Of Amplifier; Anything Special? LoonI have had many things shipped from the US to Europe. Only had one problem, and that really was not the sellers fault - and I am guessing you ran into the same problem. Namely the x-mas period... Never ever ship overseas during the hollidays. ... | |
| Overseas Shipping Of Amplifier; Anything Special? GeorgeNot sure you want to take advice from me, as I myself am overseas... But here is how I would do it.Go to your bank - open up an account for transfer purpose only and let the person in Italy transfer the money to that account. I know giving o... | |
| Sony S7700, S7000, or ??? best low cost transport? I currently use my old 7000 as a transport. Tried a 7700, but it was imo not as good as the 7000. Have also tried most of the Teac VRDS drives (T1, 10 and 20) but alwayes ended up going back to my 7000.To me the sound is sweeter and more natural, ... | |
| solid state gear- leave on? Depends a lot on the design of the amp. With some I would do it, but no way I would leave older klass A monsters on all the time. The power bill would simply be a killer..Even non klass A amps that dont get that warm can draw a lot of power in idd... | |
| XLR-RCA adapter wiring schematic Check the Van den Hul website (www.vandenhul.com) They have several diagrams on how to connect the cables.. | |
| Outboard crossover box location?? Mitch2I cant think of any reasons why the cables after the crossovers should be kept to a minimum. After all the signal is pretty strong, so any loss due to cable lenght will be minimal. (all though I am a firm believer in keeping speaker cables t... | |
| Outboard crossover box location?? Mitch2In order to keep things consistent, you should at least make sure that you use the same speaker cable from the crossover, as the one used inside the speaker. Especially if this is a modification to a production speaker. Why? Well cables have... | |
| Life expectancy of Interconnects & Speaker Cable? Mitch4TBe honest - how many components do you still have in your setup that are more than 10 years old?Anyway - assume 10 years for average cables, better ones could be double. In 10 years time or at least in 20, much better technology will exist,... | |
| Life expectancy of Interconnects & Speaker Cable? In my oppinion (and others) cables will degrade over time. There will be oxidation over time, as no insulation is truely air tight (at least in the long run).Also the more you move around with your cable, the more it will tend to "crack" between t... | |
| B&W 802s111 tweeter repair? TonyActually, you can remove the tweeter grille without taking the midrange out. Its kind of a snap on device, so you will need to twist it with a moderate amount of force, but not something that should damage the tweeter in any way.Then putting t... |
