| Ground Loop Hum Hi, don't know if this will help, but I had a similar problem with my subwoofer until I changed my analog interconnects from my power amp to the subwoofer. Once I removed the Nordost SPM interconnects to the subwoofer and replaced them with Audioq... | |
| Subwoofer cable vs Analogue cable Supposedly, subwoofer cables are constructed for low level frequencies and offer a lower noise floor. I can say that at one time I had Nordost SPM interconnects from my power amp to my subwoofer and had a terrible 60hz hum in the subwoofer. After ... | |
| Suggestions Please Add a subwoofer to your system!! | |
| Do I need a power cable - if so what brand? I am not an electrical engineeer or a rocket scientist, but in my experience, power cables can be as substantial as speaker cables and interconnects in a system. This is my experience and my reality and if anyone says that I am deluding myself, wh... | |
| Speaker cable upgrade Maybe you should have someone evaluate your acoustic listening environment before plucking down the money for different speaker cables. | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? Up until the Beatles, British artists never made it musically in America. Even the Beatles would not come to America unless they had a number one hit in America. Once I want to hold your hand became number one, they were at least willing to go to ... | |
| Electraglide Synapses 2 I have a Synapsis 2 in my system and it is a remarkable cord. It is very open, detailed and has a lot of punch and just has an uncanny ability to make the music sound right. It replaced a Nordost Vishnu (too bright) and a Cardas Golden Reference (... | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? I never understood this thing about Kennedy, especially since they were already considered a phenomenon in the rest of the world long before the Kennedy assassination. I also believe that this was an American tragedy and didn't nearly affect the r... | |
| How much power is to much power? Some funny posts here! I don't understand how an amp can have too much power, when you can control it!! I find a more powerful amp is like comparing a Porsche to a family sedan. They will both get you to 60mph, but the Porsche will do it more effi... | |
| Do speaker cables really matter? You answered your own question because they obviously do make a difference. The unfortunate thing is that you never know how a cable will sound in your system until you implement it. Good for you though, because your post conveys your happiness in... | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? TVAD, I was not aware of how many tubes were in the Ref3 or the replacement cost from Audio Research. I have a REF 1, which uses 8 6922/7308 tubes and nos tubes such as Siemens, Valvo or Tungsram can be close to $1,000. So if it is only $330 to re... | |
| What is the best band ever? I could tell by these posts that many of you were not around when the Beatles were spreading their influence. As a band, they transcended the music and influenced the entire planet. They changed the way people dressed and looked and more inportant... | |
| ARC REF 3 or MBL 5011 - what is better buy? Unless I missed it, it seems that nobody even considered that the MBL is solid state while the REF 3 is a tubed preamp. I personally love the sound of tube preamps, but eventually you will have to replace the tubes which can hit the $1,000 range f... | |
| Do the tubes have to be matched? You may want to consult with Kevin at www.upscaleaudio.com. He only sells quality tubes and will offer good advice, plus he has the ability to test tubes. They also have Nos Japanese 6bm8 tubes in stock at $20 each. | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? Because he was the producer, George Martin received most of the credit in helping to interpret the Beatles ideas into a workable musical idea. However, a great deal of credit should go to Geoff Emerick who was the engineer that recorded their grou... |
