| System advice Good comments by the others above. Another possibility I would suggest that you consider is the Sonus Faber Liuto Monitor, several of which are being offered via Audiogon by a dealer in Ann Arbor, Michigan, at a very substantial discount (apparent... | |
| Audio Research REF 75 vs VAC Phi 200 Good point by Soix.Here is the thread that he appears to be referring to. Apparently the manuals for some ARC amps indicate that if non-ARC preamps are used with them damage may occur. The link opens at a post in which I speculated about possible ... | |
| How to hook up speakers Fair question; not a sign of ignorance, as things were often labelled differently in those days than they are today. Assuming that the Phase switch on the rear panel is set to Normal, O = Black, and H = Red.There won't be much if any difference if... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? Kclone, as Charles points out he doesn't have a Burmester amp. Although he is considering replacing the 8 watt Audio Notes with Burmester monoblocks. See this thread.Regards,-- Al | |
| Audio Research REF 75 vs VAC Phi 200 Bruce (Bifwynne), your discretion is appreciated :-)As the aforementioned unnamed member, I'll second all of the excellent comments offered by Bruce and by Russ (RCPrince). With a slight modification to Bruce's statement that "these attributes cou... | |
| Which Firewall cable Assuming you are referring to Firewire cables, in addition to those offered by The Cable Company (which I see range in price from $35 to $645 for short lengths) consider those made by Granite Digital. While not being particularly oriented toward t... | |
| Has anybody tried using single solid core cables? Uberdine, in this wire gauge table AWG 24 is indicated as having a resistance of 25.67 ohms per thousand feet. Eight of them in parallel would have a resistance of 25.67/8 = 3.21 ohms per thousand feet. As you can see in the table that is very clo... | |
| Source Components, Genuinely Need Your Assistance Most of [my music collection] was poorly recorded using standard/lower quality mediums & new music which was created primarily with the use of Digital Synthesizers.... When I listen to any "audiophile" grade recordings, regardless of genre, my... | |
| Class D and Power Cables Interesting point, Ralph, which I recall you having mentioned in another thread some time ago. Conversely, would it follow that if the AC line voltage happens to be GREATER at the location of a particular listener than the line voltage that the am... | |
| Ground Loop Hum with balanced XLR cables only As an experiment, temporarily try connecting BOTH the RCA and XLR cables, with the input select switch on the BAT amp set for XLR.Doing that might not be sonically optimal, but if it eliminates the hum it would help to confirm a possible explanati... | |
| Are all asynchronous USB inputs similar? I would expect that different asynchronous USB interfaces will generally differ significantly in terms of how much noise and jitter (timing fluctuation) ends up being present on the clock (the timing signal) that is provided to the D/A converter c... | |
| Class D and Power Cables Ralph, I don't necessarily disagree, and I would suspect that in general Class D amps may indeed tend to be more sensitive to power cord differences than other classes. But wouldn't the limiting of high frequency high current bursts typically be m... | |
| Single Ended vs Balanced output with SE converter The balanced output spec of 4.5 volts maximum most likely reflects the voltage DIFFERENCE between the inverted and non-inverted signals in the balanced signal pair. Each of those signals is probably no different in amplitude than the single-ended ... | |
| DIGITAL HIGH-RES AUDIO SYSTEM -HELP PLEASE Sounds good! Setting the folder(s) to be shared on the network is just a matter of a few clicks in Windows 7. Post back if and when you'd like me to describe that in detail.Regards,-- Al | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic OK, a bit of research discloses that none of us are remembering it correctly. What Rpeluso said is correct, except that "her" was not Karen Black, it was a waitress played by Lorna Thayer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wtfNE4z6a8Best,-- Al |
