| REL B3 connecting to Linn Klimax Solo help... My source has a dedicated plug for ground on its rear ....Yes, but is that ground connected to chassis/AC safety ground, or to circuit ground, or to both. If it is only connected to chassis and AC safety ground, without being directly connected to... | |
| REL B3 connecting to Linn Klimax Solo help... First, the ear is extremely insensitive at 20 Hz. A tone at that frequency would be mostly felt rather than heard, apart from the possibility that harmonic distortion components that may be produced by the sub at higher frequencies (40 Hz, 60 Hz, ... | |
| Don't read you'll be sorry The customer reviews of DHgate that have been posted at ResellerRatings.com may be of interest. The bottom line as of today: 25 customer reviews posted; 20 of them gave DHgate the lowest possible rating.Regards,-- Al | |
| Do We need a dedicated server on PC format Hi Tim,I have a few thoughts:1)A six month development cycle strikes me as ridiculous. You might want to touch base with one of the smaller but well regarded laptop makers, such as Sager, which I believe customizes laptops that are OEM'd by Clevo,... | |
| Another cheater plug thread Al (Rodman), what he's saying is that he is using a cheater plug to defeat the connection of the safety ground pin on the preamp's power plug to the safety ground pin of the PS Audio unit's outlet. Therefore the preamp's chassis has no connection ... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Hi Emerson,No matter how well intentioned a dealer may be, they cannot tell you what speakers in a given price range will sound best to your ears in your room. You've got to make that choice yourself, based on research and auditioning that is as e... | |
| Do you leave your platter spinning while switching See this thread, which addressed the same question. As is often the case in audio, there is complete unanimity on the matter :-)Regards,-- Al | |
| Character of EL-84 amps Marty (Viridian), do you have any experience with or comments on the Pilot SA-232?I have one that I use occasionally in a third system, in my basement. It functions well, but I've never taken the time to work it over thoroughly (replacing caps, ro... | |
| Disadvantages of OP amps in output stage of CD? First, an op amp (short for "operational amplifier") is an analog device, and cannot produce digital by-products.Second, I would not by any means NECESSARILY attribute the objectionable sonic characteristics you are describing to the op amp stage ... | |
| HUM - you can catch fish in a dingy too. See the comments I just posted in your original thread on this problem.Regards,-- Al | |
| Ground Cheater plug or.... Did you ever try shorting the amp's inputs, as I had suggested? Doing that would probably have led to the conclusion (which now appears to have been the case) that the hum that was heard while nothing was connected to the amp's inputs did not have... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Audiozen, I'm curious as to why you didn't include the Neutral Audio D.R.E.I. in the system. IIRC, you had a thread about a year or so ago in which you characterized D.R.E.I. as being the holy grail.-- Al | |
| Why did this fix my problem? My amp doesn't have any xlr inputs though. I am assuming you read the review on the Crescendos in Stereo Times ....Right you are! What misled me was the reference in the review to "... the TPA-60, now known as the Crescendo," together with the ind... | |
| How much power is enough for B&W Nautilus 804's? Hi Ed,I'm pretty certain that the output impedance of the Bryston preamp is low enough to be suitable for use with y-adapters, given the input impedances of your (and nearly all other) amps.I would rule out course of action no. 3 in your list, tho... | |
| Why did this fix my problem? I assume that the interconnections between the two components were via unbalanced (RCA) cables, since the preamp does not provide balanced outputs. I see that the amp has both unbalanced and pseudo-balanced inputs. I presume that there were no jum... |
