| Is shielding cables that important? Sorry the EE in me can't let this one go. :-) The magnetic permeability of Copper, of which 99.9% of all shielding is made, is the exactly the same as air, which is one. Copper does not impede magnetic fields. When you add a shield to a cable you ... | |
| Very good DAC with volume control output You might want to consider the dCS Delius or Elgar. Cheers - Dan | |
| B W Nautilus 802 set-up Speakers are about 36" from the front wall (treated with ASC panels at the reflection points and Skyline diffusers in between) and 100" apart in an equilateral triangle with regard to the listening position. The listening position is about 24" fro... | |
| Capacitance: Help me understand Well this EE would like to point out that it's not the electrons that move through the cable at all - it's charge or electromagnetic flux. It is very similar to the way sound waves travel through the air. The air molecules do not move from the sou... | |
| Need Help with System Thanks to all that have replied so far, and thank you again for keeping an open mind. Doug and Doug S. I agree that a full-blown analog rig would probably sound better than a digitized RIAA. Even dCS says that true analog buffs might want to keep ... | |
| Need Help with System Well I see I offended at least one person with my last post. If I offended anybody please accept my apologies. However my focus of this thread was intended to be the improvement of my existing analog rig and not getting into a debate about the mer... | |
| Need Help with System Onhwy, Well yes and no... At the risk of offending all the analog lovers here look at http://www.dcsltd.co.uk/News/ces2001.htm The Grieg will convert the phono input directly to a 24/192 digital signal and then feed it to my Delius. Or as you sugg... | |
| Need Help with System Caterham, I have to replace the Blue Point Special anyway as it got damaged in a recent move. Thanks for the suggestion about the Dynavector. | |
| Need Help with System Thanks Doug.. One thing I forgot to mention is the I have an original VPI PLC. I was thinking about upgrading to the Mk4 level also. What is SAMA? What about mods to the RB300? Are they worth it? (Cable and mechanical upgrades - for VTA? ) Thanks,... | |
| If you could... Ziff, I would also recommend Everest Book "The Master Handbook of Acoustics". As far as splaying walls go I think Everest does a Finite Element Analysis on a room with splayed walls in the book. If you are absolutely sure you want to splay the wal... | |
| I need the more better digital I have to second the dCS suggestion followed by the Accuphase DP-75V. Depending on your musical tastes these two units will definitely fit the bill. dCS is also going to release two new products soon - a SACD transport and an upgrade to the Purcel... | |
| HELP , More problems with Bias Richard, What tubes are you using? I have two Rev 3 SE-40s and had to modify the bias circuit in order to get Svetlana 6L6's to bias correctly. You cen find more information at http://golden_tube.listbot.com/cgi-bin/subscriber?Act=view_archive&... | |
| B W monitors too bright? I also own the 802N and they are neutral from top to bottom. I would not characterize them as bright or flabby at all. | |
| Rowland 8 Ti hc and Rowland 12 As far as I know the biggest difference between the 8TiHC and the Model 12, Model 10 is the power supply. The Model 10 and 12 both use ultra-fast switched mode power supplies while the Model 8TiHC uses conventional toroidal power supplies. I am no... | |
| Rowland 8TiHC vs. Lamm M1.1 Jose, Good luck with the Lamms. I would be very interested to hear your opinions about them. Later this year I will be in the same boat you are now - trying to decide between these two amps and possibly others. Please keep us posted. Cheers, Dan |
