| The Importance of the Digital Cable Cannot offer any explanation as to why but this has been the cable in my system that blew me away. I have tried expensive speaker and interconnects over the years and have not been able to appreciate much, if anything.I had a 30yo Audioquest Cine... | |
| Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp @mmbl622 I find in interesting how so many can so passionately claim there is no way a voltage regulator tube in the PS can play a part in SQ. Well I was a skeptic until yesterday. I recently got an ARC REF 5SE and wasn't as impressed as I expec... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits @kingsleuy I used 12/3 Romex. There is not a 2nd neutral wire.Using Amps = Watts/VoltsOn one of the receptacles there is my main amp(max 500 watts) and the preamp(max 130 watts). This comes out to 5.3 amps. | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits I have been thinking more about my 12/3 wire configured for two separate circuits. There is a single neutral and ground wire going back to the panel. Does this matter when all neutral and ground wires in a house are going back to their same resp... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits @jea48 I don’t have a problem that I am aware, but wanted to experiment in power conditioning. Many speak very highly and this would be new ground for me to explore.I did not appreciate any change/improvement in sound before the new circuits eithe... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits @jea48 I did the 2nd scenario you described. I chose this because when I went to Lowes to pick up the Romex they had a bundle of 12/3 wire that was 1/2 price due to a return. Therefore each duplex receptacle has 2 hot, 1 neutral and 1 ground. I... | |
| Power conditioning for multiple dedicated circuits Thanks, artemus....that is exactly what I was looking for. I will give them a call and get their recommendations. | |
| Audio Research REF 80S Reviews/Comparisons Thanks for your feedback, BIF. Your experience is about what I would expect. The new features were long overdue! Biasing the REF150 was a pain having to remove the cage. At least my 75SE has the pots accessible from the faceplate. I love the ... | |
| GIK acoustic panels Another +1 for GIKI worked with them about 3 months ago. I sent pics of my space and they came back with a very detailed strategy. I chose 5 of the impressions panels with the decorative wood face. I also got two of the bass traps. All panels are ... | |
| FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's I sell equipment and use FedEx routinely to ship demos out. One of them is essentially a 50lb egg in a 20x20x20 box. There was not enough focus made to the tape on the bottom. The customer confirmed the FedEx driver got it loaded onto the truck... | |
| Turntable isolation platform Recommendations? I have a Rega RP10 and was getting feedback from room resonance at high volumes. I got the Isoacoustics Delos 1.75in thick platform with 6 of their feet. It worked really well. I decided to try something different as I didn't like the cone styl... | |
| When someone listens to your system for the first time. I am 49 with older brothers. We grew up in the peak of the Bose era. We all had at least a couple models. This is where I feel my brother is confused.He had a system many years ago while living in a cinder block room with a Carver receiver and ... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use My post will be for 'used' as I decided to return to separates. Had my speakers and space been content with the Audio Research GSi75's power output, I would have likely kept that for many years. It is a fabulous performer with a wonderful DAC an... | |
| Fear of volume control Yes....the music really does have amazing impact on a nice system at that level. : ) | |
| Fear of volume control @ rvpianoDo you have a radio shack SPL meter? If not, download a free SPL app on your phone and measure the volume you were accustomed to and then this newfound sweet zone? I am very curious as to the two levels where you found this improvement.... |
