| FUSES??? Just when I just replaced all my PC cords. Ozzy -- As I mentioned on the other SR fuse thread SR do actually offer a quantum tunneled breaker. You simply send them your breaker and they give it the QT treatment for modest cost, I suspect they could do the same with your Pass labs amp break... | |
| Changed amps - center image moved Yes, could be polarity especially as you also swapped to XLR as well. it hasn't been unknown for XLR cables to be incorrectly wired. I'd check each one using a multimeter to ensure that none of the connections have been crossed | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... While on the subject of fuses not sure how many of you are aware that Synergistic Research also sell a quantum tunneled breaker. You send them a stock breaker in the rating needed for your fuse box and they send it back to you for a charge of as I... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Code can be pretty quirky at times. After purchasing quantum tunneled Romex from Synergistic for my OR house job I found out that local code does not allow jacketed cable in conduit so my electrician had to strip the sheath and install the three s... | |
| Turntable isolation... Grand Prix Audio Brooklands wall shelf mounted to dedicated studs (i.e. studs which are not otherwise connected to any other part of the wall, only at the floor and ceiling), the studs themselves are further isolated by the addition of Acoustic Sc... | |
| Raidho D3 vs Magico Q3 As a Q3 owner I can speak to that setup but unfortunately cannot compare to the D3. All I will say is to really get the best from this speaker I found it worked best with plenty of power, and tube power at that. I use VTL MB 450III. I tried a 100W... | |
| C-22 not selling Unfortunately as a new and zero feedback seller you are immediately at a disadvantage. Do you have a local dealer with an extensive audiogon track record that could sell on your behalf? In addition better photos (higher resolution and in focus) wo... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Dietrich’s UNIProtractor, which I also use, is set up to align to his UNI Din standard which was discussed earlier in this thread. The UNIProtractor is a very accurate system but does rely upon being able to align with the tonearm pivot very accur... | |
| How important is the digital cable between the player and your clock ? In a word yes, it matters tremendously. I need 3 such BNC 75 ohm cables in my DCS Paganini stack and upgrading to Transparent Reference XL made a big difference. Previously I had used AudioQuest Eagle eye. At nearly $3k a cable this is not cheap b... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions Sounds like the Dmitri would be a good next step, and with the money you save you can experiment with power cords which I've found to be very impactful. Lots of good options out there and good value and low risk to buy used -- have fun! | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions First up not sure why you expect any of these devices to provide a "dramatic auditory difference". Yes power conditioning matters and in a very highly resolving (often high $$$) system these small differences are very important. I’m not sure your ... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions If you want to use a regenerator then I'd stick with the Power Wedge for your sub. The P10 only outputs 1500W of power so is not sufficient for all the rest of your equipment which needs 2500W at peak. Especially with a HT system I worry that peak... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions The sub seems to be the real question mark here and probably either should be left out or get its own dedicated (more basic) conditioner. Other than that your original back of the envelope of 2.5 kVA was very accurate! | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions OK -- here’s your answer, hope this helpsItem Standby Peak Source Adcom 5500 2 channel amp 199 855 GFA-5500 Service Manual per HiFiEngine Adcom 5503 3 channel amp ... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions Please please check your amplifier specs before going any further. Your power amplifiers will draw much more current than their watt output rating. As a for example I looked up the specs on an Arcam P49 2 channel 200 W amp. This is an efficient cl... |
