| How do I adjust the VU meters on my Tandberg 3014? Stickwork,If you are in Denver, try Moon Audio on Broadway. When I first moved to Denver in 1998 (now live in SoCal) I bought a used Tandberg A440 from them (I'm a Nak guy myself). Their tech guy on site was pretty knowledgeable about the deck. Al... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Ncwogger,The M24 is the next step up from the M22C. If you go to www.monarchyaudio.com you can read some reviews on it. Not that I give reviews a lot of credibility, but the one written by Lynn Olsen in PF happens to be very informative from other... | |
| Best path to upgrade my source Newogger,Check out the Monarchy M24 at $980 new with 30 day trial (15% restocking fee). I'm extremely pleased with mine. | |
| Passive Preamp for Atmaspheres? Jimangie,Yes Arn is back and I think it is a god thing for the company. I believe as a good faith measure to the customers they lowered some prices as well. | |
| Passive Preamp for Atmaspheres? I looked into the Goldpoint passive. I believe during that time the company was suffering from poor customer service (about 6 months ago). I inquired and was ready to buy and the sales person I spoke with never called me back. it appears former ma... | |
| Passive Preamp for Atmaspheres? That is correct. A very simple set-up. | |
| Isolation Transformers Nsgarch - no can do since I rent and the system is not using the first outlet after the breaker. In essence I'm probably back to looking at balanced power and power regeneration options. I was hoping to save a few bucks but it doesn't appear I can. | |
| Vincent Products A dealer I know has been selling the line and I auditioned a few pieces. Very good build quality and for the money great sound. | |
| Isolation Transformers Nsgarch,Thanks for the advice. As always you are very helpful. I do use the 20a circuit for my gear, just not dedicated. There are a total of 7 duplex outlets on that circuit, but to my knowledge, no light switches to my knowledge. I just have aud... | |
| Transport for Bel Canto DAC2 Go to www.empiriclaudio.com or www.vhaudio.com. Both sites have information on the reasoning behind using a 1.5m digital cable. Steve Nugent at Empirical Audio wrote a white paper on this and I believe it was published in PF. You should be able to... | |
| Isolation Transformers I've gone back and forth on the power regenration thing for a while now. I am familiar with ExactPower and think highly of the products they offer. My problem is my RSA Haley works quite well and I'm not inclined to mess with that. I have consider... | |
| Good tube amps to consider wit Spendor S5e If your S5e's are anything close to my 1/2e's then you're going to need a bit more power based on the size of your listening room and your listening position. I was using a 50 watt tube amp that did a nice job with my speakers, but it wasn't until... | |
| amp advice For $4k you can get a TRL D-225 dual mono amp. While it's rated at 225 watts per channel, it tests out at close to 300 watts. I've been using one for nearly a year now and it's driving my 8 ohm Spendor 1/2e speakers very nicely. | |
| Nordost Red Dawn with less brightness? Ridge Street Audio Poemia!!!. | |
| any DAC recommend for around $1000-1300? I am using the Monarchy M24 right now that can be had new in your budget. It's a combined DAC/preamp but you can run it as a DAC only and bypass the linestage/volume control. It has been a pleasant surprise in my system. I have also had excellent ... |
