| Whole House Surge Protection Tpreaves,I agree with you. Still, I believe my equipment will will last longer on spec with the surge protectors than without them. I do unplug when lightning is anywhere nearby, so except for the odd "bolt out of the blue" as it were, my equipmen... | |
| Wilson Sasha vs Meridian DSP 7200? Madfloyd,Well, Pass amps are hard to beat and I can and have lived happily with Threshold Class A mono blocks. I have Lamm M1.2 hybrids, which I like a little better than the Ayre MXR mono blocks because they have a bit richer, fuller sound, and b... | |
| Heard any good hybrid amps lately? The Lamm M1.2 hybrid mono blocks are pricey, but wonderful, especially with the right NOS 6922 varients. | |
| Whole House Surge Protection Unplugging when you leave the house for an extended period or when you know that thunderstorms are likely is the best and wisest protection.But there are other types of surges in the mains that are random and unpredictable, such as when a transfor... | |
| Can You Live With Crackling & Popping Noise? Ryder,I agree with much of the advice and thoughts of the others, except that tics and pops are a necessary part of listening to vinyl records. My LP collection includes both new and used LPs, many of my best LPs are from the 50s and 60s and have ... | |
| Whole House Surge Protection A few years ago, I rewired my entire house. The new meter from the power company's meter has a built-in surge protector. Right behind the meter is Square D's commercial grade power center with large copper bars that feed 2 commercial grade switche... | |
| Wilson Sasha vs Meridian DSP 7200? Kippyy,I have had Ayre K-1xe, Ayre C-5xe & Wilson Sophias for 3 years and have listened extensively to Wilson WP7s & 8s and Maxx 2s. Also spent an evening listening to an all-Meridian setup with DSP8000s and Meridian surrounds at my dealer... | |
| PAD Proteus Provectus Fluid Tension Thanks, everyone, for your help. The Proteus is in excellent condition. I cooked it on my audiodharma cable cooker for about 18 hours and installed between the IO Signature phono stage and the K-1xe preamp.I've been listening to it for a few days.... | |
| Power Surge Damage Unplugging when lightning threatens is the safest thing you can do to protect your system.I rewired my house with Square D's top of the line commercial system at the meter with a 200-amp switch for the house and a 100-amp switch for the AV system.... | |
| Who has dumped the power conditioner? I'm happy with my dedicated lines and Transparent PowerIsolators. A 100 amp system separate from the power for the rest of the home is dedicated to the AV system. 85 feet of armored 00-gauge cooked & cryoed copper wire runs from the meter to a... | |
| PAD Proteus Provectus Fluid Tension Mitch2, thanks. I will give Jim Aud a call.Sam,Thanks very much. Yes, these are about as you described yours. I take that as a sign they are the way they should be.Ed | |
| Phono cable for Graham Phantom Jfrech,Thanks very much for your analysis. I agree with you that once you reach the Purist and Stealth levels, there's not a lot of black and white between comparable cables even when the materials & designs are quite different.I have liked th... | |
| Phono cable for Graham Phantom Jfrech,I have a Purist Aqueous Anniversary phono cable on Graham Phantom/SME 20/2 to Aesthetix IO Signature.I want to upgrade to either a Proteus Provectus or a Stealth Hyperphono. Since you have listened to them both in the same system and found ... | |
| Ayre C-5xe gone wonky Theo is exactly correct about the MP upgrade and Ayre service! I was thinking about selling my C-5xe before the MP upgrade. Now I'm keeping it.No upgrade to the K-1xe except to replace it with a KXR. | |
| Ayre C-5xe vs Ayre C-7xe?? I have owned an Ayre C-5xe since 2006. I compared the C-5 and C-7 when I was buying. I thought the C-5 was better on redbook, but there are some who disagree with me. If you don't plan to get into SACD/DVD-A and if you haven't already, it may not ... |
