| New to Classical Music - Album to try first?? Correcting a slight inaccuracy in my previous post, the Rachmaninov 3rd Concerto was composed in 1909, so my reference to "19th century" was not quite correct even though he was born in that century.Regards,-- Al | |
| New to Classical Music - Album to try first?? Some excellent suggestions above, particularly the list provided by Jim Crane. I don't think that you should try to base your initial selections on "the one most suggested"; there are far too many composers, works, styles, periods, combinations of... | |
| 120V to 100V Converter Oops! Wrong link in my previous post. Here is a 1000W 120-to-100V step-down xfrmr:http://www.voltageconverters.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=VC1000J-- Al | |
| 120V to 100V Converter I've used one experimentally with a high quality older tube tuner, because my line voltage runs somewhat high (124V). I noticed no difference sonically with and without the step-down transformer.It could be a different story with your 100W/ch inte... | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon "then" for "than" being perhaps the most common confusion in Audiogon postsTogether with advise/advice, and lose/loose.I can't quite get to 10 either, after everything else that has been said, but here are a half dozen, in no particular order:1)Th... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Along the lines of what Jea48 said in an earlier post, disconnecting the interconnects from the inputs is not conclusive unless you put shorting plugs on them. Especially considering the M60's high input impedance (250 Kohms), it seems conceivable... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? The most fundamental difference between now and when the problem was not present, aside from the different amps, is that previously there were balanced connections, and now there are single-ended connections. As Jim's "myths" link makes clear, the... | |
| are all amps equal Tvad & Kijanki -- I think that you are both basically right, and the key to reconciling your points of view is that bass volume and bass distortion have to be factored in, as well as bass extension (which may be specified on a small signal bas... | |
| are all amps equal Re the question about subs, although it is true that there won't be much to listen to below 40Hz or so, a good sub can be expected to handle the range from say 40 to 80Hz more cleanly (with less distortion) than the Usher's 7 inch mid/low frequenc... | |
| are all amps equal Keep in mind that what additional power will do, everything else being equal, is to raise the volume level at which clipping occurs, and perhaps raise the volume level at which distortion starts to increase as the clipping point is approached. Tha... | |
| Ayre amplifier to Subwoofer connections Drubin,The R-205 manual indicates in multiple places that for a fully balanced amplifier the black wire of the high level input should go to amp chassis. Not sure why you didn't hear a difference when you lifted the ground. Perhaps its signal grou... | |
| Ayre amplifier to Subwoofer connections I connected my REL to it the way I normally would, with the one black lead connected to one channel's "-" terminal. Drubin -- What model REL is it? And does it have a 3-prong power cord? If so, you definitely don't want to do that. For the reasons... |
