| Best way to remove static build-up? 'Endust for Electronics' is a great & inexpensive antistat cleaner / spray. | |
| voltage stabilizing Transformer 120 to 24 volt. Humphry you can use a special transformer called a SOLA voltage regulating transformer. Internal buck/boost winding regulates the output voltage to <1% variation over a large input voltage range. Available from a local electrical supply house o... | |
| Transparent's Network Boxes all I can say: talk to Bruce Brisson at MIT like I did | |
| Does it matter which end is connected? Steve yes it really does matter. When cables have no arrows on them, simply connect such that the signal flows in the direction of the printing on the cable jackets. | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Jconder has the right idea; cats really do hate sticky surfaces! Pick up some (specially made just for this purpose) double-sided sticky tape at any local PetSmart store etc. It's made to be used on furniture etc. & leaves no residue once remo... | |
| Amps Power Conditioners and Lightning, what to do? Unlike surge protection, I suspect they would not screw up your soundCorrectly engineered & installed transient protection will have absolutely NO effect on sonics whatsoever... | |
| Amps Power Conditioners and Lightning, what to do? Ken I can share my personal experiences with much of what you described; my results have been very successful, cost effective & highly sonically satisfying. I won't explain the full story here (although you may email me for further details).In... | |
| Transparent's Network Boxes Paul I used to have a URL reference which thoroughly explained the networks; I've lost track of it but will try to dig it up again (a kind soul here had posted that info. years ago). The networks are often a source of contention among purists, etc... | |
| DIY Speaker Cable Canare 4s11 Home Depot Lowes Allen: very interesting... You have used the "Mike VansEvers dedicated power-circuit cable construction technique" which I first posted here a few years back (forgive me for forgetting if we've exchanged any emails in that regard -- I can't recall... | |
| MIT Shotgun vs Magnum My experience regarding the long breakin time of MIT cables echos the aforementioned; I also agree that they are fantastic when correctly applied (ie: synergy is everything) so a superior sounding cable in one rig may yield far inferior results in... | |
| Are Synergistic Research Alphas ok for my passive Here's an idea for experimentation: try connecting that single pair of Alpha cables in mono mode driving one channel only, then use the pair of AR's for the other channel. In other words: left ch. CDP to Pre via Alpha cable, then left channel Pre ... | |
| power interuption I can't determine from your question if you actually want to keep the system *running* during those line-dropouts, or are you simply concerned with transient protection? In order to maintain constant system operation then yes you'll need a small U... | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? Edward are you referring to the commonplace Sola regulator constant-voltage-transformer? Or just an active-type AC line conditioner for the audio rig such as Equitech / Exact Power / Balanced Power Technology etc? I too am concerned about spikes &... | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? Whatever you decide on, by law, you must install a transfer switch that takes your home off the grid when using the generatorLet's not confuse these two issues. Yes you MUST isolate your load from the distribution-grid, but that is accomplished vi... | |
| Burn in procedure? Hi PaulBasically you need a signal-source, a load, & the resulting signal-current flowing through the cable. So let's go through a typical signal-chain...Let's say that you are breaking in the interconnects from your CDP to preamp & the CD... |
