| New Eggleston Savoys ? My Savoys are 11 months old bought off Audiogon. Wow is all I can say about the Savoys. I started playing delta blues Slim Harpo disc 2 “The Excello Collection” and the drive and harmonica from the speakers is the best I have heard. I then played ... | |
| Help with a BAT pre - amp Did try to reseat the tubes or at least rock back and forth? Maybe one came lose in shipping. | |
| How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12 I have owned my LP12 since 1973. I think summer. Mine has been overhauled once with springs, change the oil, etc. When I changed the tone arm 5 years ago it was tuned up and belt changed. I just keeps working. They are very low maintenance tables. | |
| Magnepan 1.7 I was in that same Texas town Austin at Audio Systems. I listened to the 1.7 also but their main amp they drive the 3.6s with was sick. It had to go back to the shop. Hey Texas42 which amp were you guys using? Maybe the amp was sick. | |
| Multi channel preamps for Movies Turns out Parasound does not have any Halo P7 until May, so I bought a Bel Canto Pre6 off Audiogon this weekend. It was not advertised as a gen II so I guess it is not. What is the difference in a gen II? I wonder if Bel Canto would mod it? I call... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets Thanks for showing me the High Magnetic breakers. It turns out I am using square D as shown. I am thinking of buying a pair of Bryston 28SST amps. I probably will replace my breakers then. The Leviton receptacle does have a supporting silver steel... | |
| Upgrading wall outlets I have a question about using 30 amp breakers. There are people using 30 amp breakers for there 10 gauge wire and 110 circuits. The only way I know to use a 30 amp breaker and meet code is to use 3 wire instead of 2 and install a 4 plex so each si... | |
| Multi channel preamps for Movies I missed the Parasound Halo P7 on Audigon last night so I ordered one from my local rep. It will be here next week. I will let you know how it goes and what I think. | |
| Magnepan 1.6 vs. B&W 805N If I were you I would keep the Maggies and upgrade your amp. I owned an adcom 555II 20 years ago. It drove my rear McIntosh ML1s in my first home theater complete with Laser Disc. When you upgrade you will be astonished as to the difference the ch... | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables If your ICs runs are very long run balanced. I run 4 meter balanced ICs and 2 foot speaker cables. It gives me the best sound so far. | |
| Looking for a preamp............... You should take a look on Audiogon for an Audio Research LS-3. Years ago it had a class A rating by Stereophile. They sound good and can be had for $500.00. If you go up from there I would by a Sonic Frontiers SFL-2 or Line 2. | |
| Multi channel preamps for Movies Hey Kal,I would still like to try one. Maybe I would learn to like surround sound music. You want to sell me your Parasound Halo P7 so I can play around? | |
| What to replace Nordost speaker cable? I second Nordost SPM speaker cables. I am running 2 sets of biwired SPM 2 feet long. Doubling the SPM speaker cables requires four posts on each amp and four posts on each speaker. Shorter is better to my ears. Two feet long SPM speaker cables req... | |
| Reterminating Valhalla RCA to XLR Nordost is going to terminate some SPM wire cut with a carpet knife. It is going to cost $400 to fix or a $100 per RCA plug. | |
| Upgrading wall outlets I just added two 20 amp circuits for my power amps using 10gauge with ground wire. I used Leviton 20A Heavy Duty Outlets. The difference is large. I have blacker back ground and smoother definition. I am also taking all appliances off the electric... |
