| Mono amps and different length speaker cables Not sure if it's clear to everyone that he is apparently referring to biwiring, with one length going to one section of each speaker and the other length going to the other section of each speaker.this was not at all clear to me, and if it had bee... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables I've never tried it . . . may or may not be noticeable, but why would you do that? I wouldn't unless it was very temporary. | |
| Lexicon MC-1; DC-1 Power supplies If it's not a fuse (check that first), it's very likely the PSU. You can verify with a VOM meter if you know how. I don't recall exactly what the connections are, but you should be able to trace where the PSU power output connects to the main boar... | |
| Vintage Wharfdale speakers? 60's vintage Wharfdales were my first stereo speakers ever, and I still have them. I always hated the sound, but loved the cabinet work. About 10 years ago after seeing them take up space in the house for the previous 20 years I pulled out all the... | |
| Used turntable market 11-19-13: Mt10425Bd-really? Go back to digital? Of course, you're right. Let's not help people listen to vinyl. Let's see...I can do it, you're on your own. Great philosophy, survival of the fittest and all that.11-19-13: Winoguy17Bd according to ... | |
| Used turntable market I've bought and sold multiple used tables and as long as you are competent with setting them up, and tweaking operation, there's no issue - except for risk of shipping damage. I've had 2 of them arrive damaged (the dust covers broken) in spite of ... | |
| RB-250 tonearm installation Systemdek iix my one experience with a RB250 was it played fine without a ground wire, but if you have a ground wire attached to the sub-chassis of the table you can try to connect it to your preamp ground. If you hear hum, I would disconnect it and see how it ... | |
| Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise? 11-13-13: ElizabethI have my preamp right at my left of my listening position.. I can reach the volume control by reaching out and turning the knob.Works great. . . . the ultimate in seamless remotes. I had my rack set up like this once before. It... | |
| Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise? 11-13-13: AlbertporterBdgregoryInteresting, but I still won't buy a non-remote pre, and don't understand why a remote motor can't be installed without affecting the sonics.There are volume controls that have a motor attached that do not affect son... | |
| Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise? interesting, but I still won't buy a non-remote pre, and don't understand why a remote motor can't be installed without affecting the sonics. | |
| Record clamps: do they really make a difference. If you have the right mat, a clamp is not beneficial. | |

| Bi-Amplifying Speakers using two B&K Sonata Ex 442 I vertically biamp too - pretty common, but does not accomplish (ie as you believe) what an active crossover does. It's true that both sections receive a full 200 w/c, but they are ALSO receiving the full bandwidth of your preamp (ie 20hz - 20khz)... | |
| CNN article me to - great article. thanks for posting! | |
| 4 OHM speakers with an 8 OHM amplifier? the MF200 is a solid state amp that should be fine driving 4 ohms, maybe even 2 ohms. |
