| Is Remote Control Important? remote is important - you don't know how much you'll like it until you have it, then won't want to do without anymore | |
| how do you tame digititus in a transport? Try a set of Nordost Pulsar Points. I have the titanium set which significantly smooths out that digital edge while actually enhancing performance all around. They also have aluminum available & while they are less expensive I can't say if the... | |
| Help ? Bear has a good idea...Take the amp to a dealership & see how it sounds in their demo system. If you need repair or replacement, no doubt the shop will have some suggestions of which you may or may not wish to avail yourself. | |
| 240v Any reason not to use? Wiring for 240V provides the benefit of *balanced* power; a great thing to have when you can do so. Aside from having half the current draw, noise floor should be significantly reduced. All of this may not yield the specific sonic improvements tha... | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? anything larger than #10 is very hard to work with especially solid conductor; another reason to stop there is that #8 or larger does not typically fit either the fusebox or outlet connections.Oz - splicing smaller conductors onto the ends of a la... | |
| THE Eternal dissatisfied The Ayre/Cardas "Irrational But Effacious" system-degaussing CD used on a monthly basis.Contact cleaning: periodically (at least annually) all cables, connections & jacks including AC interfacescabling: upgrade both - your signal cables & ... | |
| What component have you changed out the most? cablescablesoh - did I mention cables | |
| Re-wired to 30 amps? No one has even mentioned line surge impedance. The lower the better, let me repeat that: The lower the better.Theories aside - always use at least 10awg wiring - your ears will thank you.Any faults drawing significant current will hardly draw the... | |
| DUNTECH SOVEREIGN 2001 vs C7000 Rc: correct.Keith ran all Spectral electronics, all MIT cabling, lotsa power. Nothing sloppy about the sound at all. | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? some of you poor souls make me feel like the luckiest man alive ... hey maaaaybe I am?I get no complaints & plenty of support; she even understands some of the technicalities & her ears are better than mine too. I really hear about it when... | |
| What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did? Had to think about this one ... so many choices! Well here's some genuine stupidity for you:Was troubleshooting an amp that I had built myself completely from scratch. Somehow I connected the output test leads back onto the meter that I was using ... | |
| Sibilance how do I get rid of it? Hi Chuck I was skeptical too.But having read so much here about the benefit I had to try it & they are SO right.Not completely understanding something doesn't make it worthless; very few of us would even be driving automobiles if that were the... | |
| Cart update: old TT, new electronics Scott I don't really know because my woofers are horn loaded & invisible unless the cabinets are opened. But the power meters don't move mcu unless I'm blasting of course. | |
| Turbo power supply for Oracle turntable If this turbo is anything like the VPI SDS regenerator, then the result is indeed very worthwhile on 'better' turntable equipment. Output frequency is adjustable for speed tuning, & it ramps output voltage up to full power for startup, then ba... | |
| Electrical outlet upgrade worth it? So there you have it Mat. If Blake can realize improvements with his economical setup then certainly you can as well.BTW I'm not laughing at anyone's equipment here; we all started out from typically humble beginnings, myself included. Much of my ... |
