| Is the Audience AR1P a decent surge protector? Very true statement about a close lightning hit. It is the storm associated local power outages and sudden power returns that previously caused my system some issues. These seem to be handled well by the Audience conditioners in my home and system. | |
| Is the Audience AR1P a decent surge protector? I use 2 of the aR1p conditioners (CDP and REL sub) and a single aR2p that provides power conditioning and protection for my VAC amp and VAC preamp. Love the clean power. They are rated for surge surpression to 20,000 amps that does not wear out or... | |

| What is your cartridge and tracking force used Benz Ebony H (Soundsmith opimized contour retip) tracking 2.0 grams on an Origin Live Encounter Mk3c arm. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle I think they are all correct. The issue is the groove bearing edge or facet edges should be at 92 degrees, but if you have an additional facet on the back (towards the cartridge body) of the diamond you cannot use that back edge as your measured l... | |
| LOUSY SOUND AT LIVE CONCERTS This past spring Clapton played the Memorial Colusiem here in Jacksonville, FL. I have heard many other concerts there all with very poor acoustic presentations. That night the Wallflowers opened the show and played well, but the sound was nothing... | |
| VPI Ceramic Platter I am sure the arm "tweaking" refers to revisiting the SRA/VTA settings and all cartridge setup parameters since there will be a small change to the level of the top of the platters even if they visually seem to be at the same height. No actual twe... | |
| 3.5mm to RCA cable Zu Mission. Look for them on Zu's eBay store or directly on the Zu Audio website. | |
| Suggested Improvements for Set Up? The 707s need a lot of power to perform at their best and that will require a separate power amp. Though rated at 150 watts per channel all the channels are drawing off the same power supply. A similarly rated (or more) external power amp will def... | |
| Jolida JD9 settings for use with a Denon DL-160? I used the DL-160 with a gain of 38db on my VAC Standard LE MM phono input to good effect. I think the 55db may be to high. The A5 has a MM input, but I was not able to find the actual amplification factor. I would try to lower your gain (many opi... | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection By plugging a power amp directly into the wall you prevent possible current limiting, by a conditioner, to that specific piece of equipment. Many conditioners, including mine, claim not to limit current, though I still feel that is a small possibi... | |
| Power conditioning / surge protection Look at one of the Audience aR1p units listed for sale here. Excellent unit that you can plug a decent power strip into and have very nice line conditioning and surge protection. Excellent reviews online. I use one with a CryoParts power strip 2 a... |
