| Louder Hum from amp and Thump, thump sound spkrs Joe, how brief was the outage? When the power returned, was the amp on? Have you tried switching the amp off? Not by turning it off with a front button, that's the stand-by. There is a switch in the back of the amp. First turn the amp into stand-b... | |
| Upgrading Sonic Frontiers Line 3SE to ??? I think you'll get more dynamics and slamm by going with solid state amp with more power than your current BAT amp.SF speakers typically are laid back sounding, so if you want more slam, pair them with SS amp. Also, you may want to have your frien... | |
| DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ? Rademaker, not sure about DCCA vs Elrod, but a DCCA the "Source" power cord is currently breaking-in in my system hooked up to my cd player. I just got it today. So far like it a lot. | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Keithr, if you are going to audition some speakers, try to hear Totem speakers. I was really impressed with their Mani-2 Signature model. Monitor speaker that goes down to 29hz(uses Dynaudio drivers) and sounds really much bigger than it is, but t... | |
| What tube amp for starting out? At the very least, it should double it's wattage into 4 ohms from its 8 ohm rating, otherwise you will hear a recess in these regions. Frankly, this might explain what you're presently hearing with the Dynaco amp when you say the sound is "dead in... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Keithr, I kind of doubt the Adagio will be better than Sophia. | |
| What tube amp for starting out? one more - Audio Research VT130 | |
| Bel canto DAC 2 is it set to PCM out on the player's menu? | |
| Tube Preamplifier Time Velocityofhue, I doubt that power conditioner will solve the skipping problem. It could be that the remote sensor on the unit itself reacting to light changes in the room and screwing up the playback. Try covering the sensor(or all of them on ever... | |
| How hot should a McCormack DNA-225 get? when it's on for a while and not playing I registered 117 at heat sinks and about 95 or so on the faceplate. When I played music for an hours or so, the heatsinks get to about 128-130. Get a digital temperature reader and take measurment. i know t... | |
| Bel Canto Dac 3 Alun, if you are willing to experiment, try different digital cables on DAC3. I don't know how DAC3 reacts to digital cables, but when I had my DAC2, it sounded amazing with Virtual Dynamics NiteII and later (a much bigger leap forward) with Virtu... | |
| Preamp for Mccormack .5 monos Anything that has fine steps in volume control should work fine. A friend of mine uses Sonic Frontiers Line-1 preamp with his DNA-125 that also has 10k input. I brought over my ARC LS-25 and it did a very fine job as well. Look for something with ... | |
| Experience on B&W N800 with Tube Amplifier If you like the ARC amp, then may be you could consider just going up their line to Ref-300 or Ref-600 monos.or get the VTM200 monoblocks to add to your VT200. That's going to be a crazy set up. I'll feel for you when you'll need to re-tube though... |
