| Broken Interconnects-fix, trash or ??? The original manufacturer's of your cables may be a good place to go for repairs. For example I've done this with Synergistic Research cables on a couple of occasions. They not only repair or replace the broken connector ends, but upgrade the cabl... | |
| rookie drunk move Tony don't sweat itIf you had caused any harm, you'd know it by the sound, or lack thereof...Having said that, the equipment is not at all bulletproof; such bonehead manuevers have caused many of us a lot of grief, weeping, wailing, knashing of te... | |
| Directional fuse and integrated IEC outlet Jim I believe it has to do with the direction that the conductor is drawn through the die. Now - the part that most people overlook ...Yes the voltage and current are alternating (AC).However the flow of *power* is always from source to load.Alway... | |
| If cables can break-in, can they then wear-out? for many years I never believed it either...howevery'all have a lot to learn! | |
| balanced interconnect switch. a professional musician supply seems like a likely source-sorry I can't offer any specifics | |
| Of f Topic Short-Wave Radio Maintenance Question an electronic spray cleaning wash might work well for this.Read the instructions on the can; some are not plastic-safe so you have to be careful where the solvent lands in that case. The spray can tip typically has a hole for attaching a straw (su... | |
| Dedicated circuit to the sound system Bob you've been around here long enough to know that the forum archives contain zillions of posts regarding dedicated circuits (most commonly called dedicated lines although incorrectly so). Use #10 Awg. THHN solid wire. And do a forum search, bec... | |
| Effects of Power Outages Where You Live Emerson I assume your question regards solid state (vs. tubes which pretty much warm up almost immediately). This really depends upon your particular equipment. Some would take 1-2 hours as others have experienced. My own: the PA takes a few hours... | |
| Use both outlets or just one? Loc what you're doing is fine; you can use both outlets with no problem.I suggest (if you're not going to install a dedicated circuit, and BTW you only need one, not multiples) then you might try upgrading just the outlet itself. Many options avai... | |
| You're probably listening too loud Marc some valid observations, thank you. I have noticed this myself as well.You're referring to an acoustic phenomenon known as "threshold shift". | |
| Weak Link ...what Phil said...You still have a lot of variables between the showroom setup & yours at home, so who can say. I am also wondering about cabling; did you bring your own or use dealer supplied? And unless it was all the same makes/models, th... | |
| Recommendation for a warm mid/high end amp related to, but probably better than the Acurus, is the Aragon line. Try going with the 8088BB (vs the ST) but don't sell your existing unit until later, in case you decide it wasn't the right move | |
| VPI Scoutmaster static Walt I forgot to mention:You should loosely spiral wrap the additional ground wire by wrapping it around the tonearm cable pair for the full length. Fairly widely spaced coils perhaps 1.5" to 2" apart. Then attach to the ground post. This should h... | |
| Most agreed upon best speaker? and let's not forget the Radio Shack | |
| Dedicated Lines Same conduit is alright.It would be ideal if the circuits pairs were each twisted (spiraled hot + neutral) for mimimized noise induction between them. However it's done, so don't worry about that. If ground conductors are separate, then they shoul... |
