| I am pissed Did you check the various mapping databases or the USPS Zip code data base to verify that it is a legitimate address? If the address is legit then your shipper is most likely Useless, Pathetic, and Stupid. | |
| What is the thingie on the WBT Bananna Plug The "insulator" is to prevent inadvertent installation of the banana plug into a type of 240 volt wall outlet common in Europe. Sort of an attempt to appease some "big brother" government regulation. | |
| Dedicated AC Line or Upgrade Equipment? Avguy, it wouldn't surprise me that a dedicated line would improve your present system as well. If you want to do a mock up, purchase a new 12 gauge grounded extension cord and run it from your laundry outlet (of course temporarily disconnect your... | |
| buzzzzz, where did i go wrong? Jdwek: I'd find out which component is contributing the 15 volts and contact that manufacturer. Seems suspiciously high and may be indicative that service is needed. | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Glen: The concern I have is that it cost him money to stop the check (my bank would be over $25). The eternal optimist in me is hoping it is some sort of bank computer miss key. If it is buyer's remorse or jitters, he owes you the fees your bank w... | |
| electrical phase Agree with most of AP's post except that many 240 Volt breaker panels are manufactured so that first/third/succeeding odd horizontal rows are on "A" phase and second/forth/succeeding even horizontal rows are on "B" phase. Use a voltmeter to verify... | |
| Fancy Audio Electrical Outlet Causing Problems? If you have a voltmeter you might try checking the outlets voltage both with and without your audio system powered up. If the powered up voltage is more than a couple of volts lower than when powered down, it's possible that either the outlet is d... | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? Sort of strange. Implement a change with no attempt at an explaination. A little lacking in comparison to A-gon's usual professionalism. | |
| anyone a b test krel krc3 against sonic frontier The KRC-3 is very revealing of source and cables. Had it about 5 years. I use a tubed CD (BAT D5) and Krell FPB 200 amp with it. The combination favors high quality all copper interconnects. I enjoyed the Kimber 1120 and AQ Anacondas the most and ... | |
| anyone a b test krel krc3 against sonic frontier I demo'd both and bought the KRC-3. The Krell really shone on dynamic pieces. Whereas the SF was a little on the lifeless side (and rather boring). SF may soundstage a little better how ever. I also use solid state amp.I think the KRC-3 would defi... | |
| Bi-Amping B&W 802N - Who's doing it and with what? What performance inprovements are you looking to accomplish?Most likely the addition of a second amplifier will also require an outboard crossover device (and another interconnect)so that gains can be properly matched. Even if the Wadia can drive ... | |
| Amplifier Transformer Hum Watch out for any electrical device that has a dioded high/low switch. In the low setting the chopped off wave form drives many transformers to hum. My humidifier (in low setting) drove my velodyne sub amp crazy. | |
| MFSL Ultradisc vs. Ultradisc II I have both Dark Side (UDCD 517) and Meddle (UDCD 518) both are labled on the back as Ultradisc II. I bought Dark Side new in the original long box packaging. I believe it was later issued in smaller packaging, but same disc. | |
| Removal of acoustic popcorn ceiling? I'd expect the room to liven up a bit with the removal. The other issue is the removal of this substance can cause considerable temporary elevated moisture issues, severe minute partial dust issues, and paint fumes. Be sure to protect your equipme... | |
| Buzz originating from amp...please help ? Single ended or balanced interconnects? Many amps require shorting pins for the unused balanced inputs when going single ended. I'm not familiar with Pass's requirements but the topic should be addressed in the owner's manual. |
