| SONY WEGA and component video ......... Tim: This does sound like a noise problem. Try out some AC power conditioning, upgrade AC cords, vibration control treatments, perhaps even a dedicated AC line to clear up those fuzzies. | |
| CD player burn-in Input impedance of the preamp (or the amp if you're driving direct) doesn't change significantly with/without power on. But you must have the input selector switch set to the CD, otherwise there's no load terminating & no signal flow. I use an... | |
| CD: 100+ Threads, no answers Hi Kitch. Pacific Micro's HDCD is wonderful, has lots of current software avaliable, & it even makes your 16 bit RedBook discs sound better. Compare a regular disc to the HDCD release of same music: you'll be blow away. I've had an EAD Ultradi... | |
| Solid Silver Banana Plugs? try Audioquest. I bought silver lugs from them - dunno where to get those bananas but I have seen them. | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). Back in '73 when Quad (remember 4 channel?) was in vogue, I built a chip-based CD4 decoder to experiment with. But I only had 2 channel, so the plan was to demo it on an engineer friends' 4 speaker rig. Plugged everything in & powered on to th... | |
| Widening my soundstage Must disagree regarding all the talk about exacting speaker placements & specific room treatments. My rig stages huge, & I've paid only precursory attention to that. My only room treatments are pretty basic: floor & wall rugs, drapes,... | |
| Ground Wire #8 solid uninsulated copper is frequently found in this application | |
| Widening my soundstage Agree your speaker cable is in need of replacement. Have no ideas for you, other than to suggest MIT which is just "what I like" but that's in my rig (which stages huge!). Dunno about those Cardas i/c's either, which didn't work well at my house, ... | |
| Amp+Cords or New Amp, best bang for $$$ Your equipment is pretty nice stuff already; you'll find that changing to the "right" cords can significantly enhance what you already have. I validated this fact myself when I had assembled some highly-rated hardware into a rig that sounded prett... | |
| Hum from new amp? I just got a Belles 150A & also have hum problems. (1) The torroid transformer mechanically hums inside the amp. Refer to this thread for further info: http://audiogo1.iserver.net/cgi-bin/forum5.pl?etrbl&974469566&read&3&4&... | |
| John Lennon SALUTE to the man who wasn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs, was so humble even with his mega-talent, who unquestionably changed my life, who still influences me today, and who's band may have saved the world from utter destruction by ourselve... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Mr. Johnson who I've met & spent several hours with in several listening sessions, is a lot sharper than I am BTW. This statement coming from another E.E. What's your angle - car washing? | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? not going to waste here, but you can stuff your insults Leafs. Your babble is why AGon threatened to shut down the forums: keep it up if that's what ya want... | |
| Bryston 3B ST or McCormack DNA 1 I have a Belles on the way to my house right now. Will report back, although can't vouch for performance w/B&W's which are flatter/smoother than my spk's. Should be interesting | |
