| Do i/c's on a component affect overall system ? do a blind test. have someone disconnect the ICs from the tuner and listen to your cd player. If you can identify 100% when they are plugged in, then it affects the sound. Some preamps leak from one input to the other, so if you have a tuner on an... | |
| Shouldnt you match tube with tube ? There are number of reasons. I can think of a few reasons I don't have a tube amp.I have considered a tube amp before, but....1) My speakers are difficult to drive. An all-tube amp that can properly drive my speakers is expensive.2) The hassle of ... | |
| Will leaving an amp powered-up all the time... Overhang, I personally don't consider the amplifier warmed up if it is just being left on. Doesn't matter on for 3 days or on for 3 weeks. It will not sound the same as if it had played music for 2 hours. With your amp it makes very little differe... | |

| Is an IPOD hi-fi? My 80gb iPod playing uncompressed files sounds awesome through the Grado SR60 'phones when I listen to it at work and it sounds even better with my Senns HD-580 at home. Ferrari, I would not call it a complete junk. If the files are uncompressed(I... | |
| need opinions on new cdp I own an ARC CD3MkII and it is a very dynamic and musical player. However, it is best run balanced. If your setup doesn't allow for balanced connection between cd player and preamp, don't bother with ARC as you will get at the most 85% of its perf... | |
| Help needed with 50hz hum/buzz in Tube system In your previous post you said you will disconnect the cable from the cable box. Has this been tried already? | |
| What has been your most satisfying component? Can't say that they stood the test of time yet, but so far so good - ARC CD3MkII cd player and Pass Labs X250.5 amplifier.The component that stood the test of time in my system was an ARC LS-15 preamp - almost 7 years! | |
