| Why does better power = better sound? I've seen the Furmans with those tubes and never new exactly the purpose til now. They would be useless to me too. But, oh well. My stand can handle the depth. Thanks so much. There's a used 20 on ebay right now.Lynne | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Very comprehensive unit. Thanks. Yes, I still unplug during thunderstorms.OK. Will make sure it is a PFi. I'm probably going with a 20. It might be overkill, but I have a high current amp with 120 amps instantaneous not that I ever use all of it. ... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Kijanke, do you use the same 20a for your digital source(s)?Lynne | |
| Why does better power = better sound? OK. Thanks, Kijanke and Al. Yes, no subs. I'm reading this fantastic review of the Furman Elite 15 something--15 amp rating, I think. | |
| Why does better power = better sound? How do you determine whether to buy a 15 amp or 20 amp power conditioner? Simply by the size of the AC circuit it is plugged into or are there other factors like the demands of the audio system? | |
| early 80s stereo receiver mm/mc phono.... Don't know how much you are planning to spend, but there is an HK 790i on ebay NIB Buy It Now for $300. | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Thanks, Al. You are a pleasure to read. I wouldn't be afraid to spend a few more $ on a power conditioner based on the above testimonials--one which featured a storage capacitor. I still have an old Adcom with a storage capacitor, but it doesn't c... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? I've got several cheap Furman power conditioners that I have picked up on ebay for under $50. The challenge is how cheap can I get them. They do improve the sound. So would it pay me to upgrade? Would it pay to go for $200 worth? Don't be concerne... | |
| Using Brillianize remove Static I have used the cheap anti-static household spray that is for clothing and surfaces. I rarely use a turntable but I use the spray on cable. It does improve sound quality. Mostly, though, I try to keep the house hydrated well enough with a humidifi... | |
| What speaker cables are most like Speltz cables? Mdrummer01, now I'll tell you what I really think which is that cables are such a con. I agree that there are differences in cable. But the reviewer that I refered to might have his own agenda. If he didn't have something significant to say he'd b... | |
| What speaker cables are most like Speltz cables? Paul Speltz does say don't be afraid to bend them. Clear Day sounds interesting. | |
| Amp design logic I am surprising myself by asking the same sort of question lately about vintage after dragging an HK Citation 16 out of the closet manufactured in around 1975. A google search tells me that some audiophiles buying vintage and upgrading or having u... | |
| What speaker cables are most like Speltz cables? I have the Speltz cable and I have Signalcable which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The Signalcable is on my second system, and the review that I read says that the Signalcable is best if it is used with the power cord along with the speaker cable... | |
| Differences in the revisions of HK Citation 16? Wow! I have pictures, and I remember reading about a prototype and a lazer. So that solves the mystery (to me) about the lazer. I think the reason for its sonic reputation is that one of the magazines--was there a Stereo Times ?--did a blind liste... | |
| Differences in the revisions of HK Citation 16? OK. Thanks for clarifying the IC in regard to cap coupling. I read in the search that the A revision "went back to" all discrete which must be a reference to the 12. I have it apart and am cleaning. Can't see any leaky caps. Two smaller caps were ... |
