| Suggestions for a transport under $1000 I think a Rega Planet would work. | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? How about Gallo Reference with the grills of? | |
| Advice Wanted, component placement I'm partial to the "bouncy" balls that are clear and have little plastic dinosaurs inside them! | |
| Tube Preamp for an audio zone gaincard-like AMP1 There is a Welborne Ultrapath for sale right now that would be great with your gear. | |
| Zobel network Merlin used to include external Zobel with some models. | |
| Tweaks That Don't Work I had the ELCO Static 10 or 15 or something or other power cord. It was as thick as a boa constrictor. It had no effect on my system either positive or negative. I have plenty to say about tweaks that DID work if anyone is interested in a thread l... | |
| high ac voltage destrucive or not? If you have tube equipment, the higher voltage can place your biased tubes close to their operational limits and some of the capacitors can also be at risk. Normally, I would say "don't worry too much" but you willo certainly experience a bit of l... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? My Avantgardes image beautifully and I have heard even better with the same speakers in better rooms than mine. | |
| Isolation Platforms...worthwhile? Isolation certainly makes a difference. Be patient and have an open mind. Some things can negatively affect the sound and you can always create "too much of a good thing" I use Symposium products to good effect. | |
| More power for my Duos? Dear sir,I run my Uno 2.1's with Sun Audio SV2A3, FI Super X with 2A3's or 45's, and now with Audio Note Neiro PSE 2A3. I have clipped the 45's, but lean sonics is not what I heard. You certainly must ensure that the midrange horn and the tweeter ... | |
| The question "The Acoustat Delema" Beau,I haven't been back on this either, so.........my bad.I'll check on the TNT. Someone in our Audio club had it. I'll let you know. | |
| Rectifier tubes? The original Western Electric 274B is the king of all 5U4G rectifiers. The Sophia exhibits some of the traits. It is open and extended and strong in the bass. The mesh version may even be better than the standard one. It is priced fairly for a ver... | |
| Looking for best CD or Dac under $15k new. I don't think the 390S is mechanical at all. Prior to using all 47Labs gear, I preferred the 390S over the Wadia and Accuphase that I owned. I found it smooth, detailed but not emphatically so, but just a bit reticent. It is relaxed. I would use i... | |
| 10/3 or 10/2 to each outlet? Jeffcot is abslutely spot on about sizing the run to the sub panel correctly. Any potential benefit from shortening the individual runs can be lost by undersizing the feed to the panel. If you use this method, be diligent about checking polarity w... | |
| 10/3 or 10/2 to each outlet? I would run 10/2 w/ ground or run an isolated ground which is essentially an extra ground that runs along with the 10/2 w ground. 30-35 feet is nothing. You are already home running 10/2 to each duplex outlet. That's plenty of separation. Just mak... |
