| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Hello Agriculturist,We had a similar experience with the inexpensive Hegel HD2 reclocker. There may be better converters, but it works great with the DAC-040!We do sell both Hegel and CF.Archon | |
| Review: Concert Fidelity DAC-040 DA converter Great posts guys!We have a CF DAC 040 BD on order and should be here in about month. Once received, we will post about differences between the BD and non-BD versions as we will also have them side by side.Heck, maybe if I ask nicely Teajay will ev... | |

| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Jim, I'll take your advice and stay with the 20A. The amp has the same transformer size as a Levinson #33 (10 kVa total), and I read that people were using 240V x 30 A or larger with those. I thought it made sense to do the same.Thanks,Mike | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? As for the wire size being #10 awg, because of the 20 amp receptacle you are using the branch circuit over current device, (the 2 pole breaker in this case), must be 20 amp. Not 15, not 30, it must be a 2 pole 20.....I would exchange the receptac... | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? NGjockey - Ha ha! Yes, I work with several EE's and technicians...I will invite one over to help, and to check it. Thanks for your concern! | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Jea48 - Yes, as you mentioned, I will connect to a 2 pole breaker (2x 120V). The wire is #10 awg and will use with a 20 amp circuit...(or maybe 30A??) This makes sense to me. I guess I'm worried that there is no neutral wire going to the amp, shou... | |
| What receptacle for 240V 20A in the States? Guys, thanks for all the excellent responses! I now have some receptacles and plugs. I bought 2 different types because I was not sure if I needed a 3 or 4 wire (Hubbell HBL2320 and HBL2410) while at the store.I should have mentioned that the amp ... | |

Loren Yuan...Audio Consultants - Libertyville, Illinois.Back around 1987 he showed some kid (me) who couldn't even drive yet some Martin Logan Sequals (original not he mk2).

| Reference Transports: An overall perspective "The interesting little feature" (upsampling in the transport) that Teajay mentions on the Ensemble Dirondo Drive, also eliminates the need for a "clock sync" cable. This seperate "clock sync" is something that is found on some of the best (at lea... | |
| Burmester If you have the cash, Burmester should be great for that type of music! IMHO, the Burmester digital is up there with the best and if you like dynamics and bottom end weight (which normally goes in hand with the type of music you mention) the Burme... | |

| Best midrange on a high current SS amplifier Give GamuT a try, it gives super smooth mids thanks to it's single mosfet design. IMHO, it is the best solid state amp for my Magnepans.http://www.gamutaudio.com/Good Luck!Mike (AudioArchon)PS - I do sell them, but I purchased them long before I w... | |
