| cable length I disagree with the statement "get the very best you can afford." This implies that more money will buy better sound, which may or may not be true. It is very possible to put together a rather mediocore sounding system with very expensive componen... | |
| Interconnects for 3 a pair Magnet wire is copper wire with an enamel coating on it. That way it can be wrapped around a core and the windings won't short to each other. | |
| Blown Fuse HI, If this is a tube amp, you could pull the tubes and see if it still blows the fuse. If not, get some new tubes. Power tubes tend to arc and blow fuses, but I would go ahead and get a complete set. Sometimes you can see which tube it is by a br... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Hi Geradff, A few points on moving coil cartridges. Decreasing the size of the load resistor (say from 47Kohms to 1Kohms) will tend to dampen the high end, Which may or may not be a good thing depending on the rest of your system. Some say a large... | |
| Help completing vinyl front end. I would discourage you from shopping for a used cartridge. Unlike most components, they do wear out. I have used several of the Benz cartridges, first a silver and now a L.O. .4 and like them very much. They have them at all price ranges. You migh... | |
| Help with noisy power tube! I would not be concerned about little noises as the tubes warm up from being cold. But if it is constant after they are hot, try swapping the tubes around. It could be that the bias is way off. If the same tube is noisy, you should return the tube... | |
| FM radio tower near house I had this same problem and wrapped my house in aluminum foil to get rid of it. My wife was really mad so I got rid of her too. Seriously, You need to figure out where it is getting in. I'd make sure my outlets were properly grounded. You can get ... | |
| Best Power Conditioner I have not heard the Cinepro but purchased a Furman unit that does the same thing, chnages your AC into balanced. It is a 20 amp unit that costs about $1600. You can plug your whole system into it. I was very skeptical before trying it but it made... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? There is a reason. The digital signal is transferred at a much higher frequency than the audio signals. At these higher frequencies, the output impedance of the transport, the characteristic impedance of the cable, and the input impedance of the D... | |
| Kimber ks 1030-vs-1020? They both use silver to carry the signal so I don't think one is brighter than the other. I tried them both and they are very similar. A little better resolution from the 1030 but the tonal balance is the same. I bought half meter 1030 for my fron... | |
| Levinson 333 opinions I had a 331 before switching to tube amps. I really liked the 331, but prefer the sound of tubes. I think the reason you see so many for sale is that Levinson has been very successful with this line of amps and sold so many new. It stands to reaso... |
