| One key to building great systems over time. @ghdprentice You're never a prophet in your home town. 🤣 | |
| Share the songs that move you (from musicals). @1111art Your post is bringing back some good memories for me. Back in the 1950's my father (an electrical engineer) built a system that was the envy of all the neighbours. A Dynaco Mark ll DYI kit, three Warfdale speakers, a TT with stobe and... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals These are not my words, but they ring true to me: "An AC line fuse on the primary side of the power transformer is not going to make any audible difference, since the AC will be stepped down, rectified and smoothed into DC, then regulated before ... | |
| Really Long XLR @zlone The back side of my amps are 7 inches off the wall and the Statement cables make a natural loop to the side without any stress on the cable. I would say that is close to the minimum distance you want to work with. Cheers. | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals Listening late at night always sounds better. But the fuse was the cause? Color me skeptical. | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals @jasonbourne71 I suppose next you're going to tell me not to put nickles behind blown fuses in my main panel? 😂 | |
| MoFi lawsuit Were any of you unhappy with the sound of your MoFi product before you learned "the truth". @dwette if your purchased so many I'm guessing the answer is no? I've only bought 4 titles from them over the years. I didn't buy more for the simple r... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @soix You are correct Sir. 🤣 Cheers. | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 @tvrgeek I'm not sure what your budget would be but the H590 can be had slightly used at very good prices. As an example: https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649990562-hegel-h590/ I purchased the H590 from an original owner a few years back. Y... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @soix Not to diminish or question your experience. I'm sure Steve McCormack knows a lot. But other manufacturers hold the exact opposite opinion and suggest turning equipment off when not in use. Again, we are talking about on/off once per day... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? @kingbr Was just hoping to get a consensus here rather than making 4 calls. Consensus? This is Audiogon 🤣 Last thought. We are talking about turning your equipment on/off once per day, not many times. In that case, heat will do more dsmsge to... | |
| Leave system on or power everything down? Send an email to the manufacturer and ask their opinion. I run Hegel equipment with soft start circuitry. Hegel recommends turning the eqipment off when not in use. I've left it all powered on 24/7 for a week and it just heats the room up. Sin... | |
| Really Long XLR Well, the new 40 foot XLR cables arrived today. As mentioned earlier, I bought a pair of Statement XLR from a Canadian company Audio Sensibility. https://audiosensibility.com/blog/products-2/interconnects/#!/Statement-SE-XLR-Interconnects/p/22... | |
| Intg Amps: Hegel 590 vs NAD M33 Masters vs Gryphon Diablo 120 I can contribute that I have owned the H590 and found it a formidable amp. Plenty of power, a DAC that reviewers gush over, and Hegel's design philosophy that the amp should add nothing to the sound. It is smooth and neutral. I would look for o... | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. In the words of the Highlander "There can be only one". Written by Mick at the tender age of 25, the song is as powerful today as ever. There are plenty of pretty pop songs, and then there is the one that towers above them all IMHO 🤣 Please all... |
