| Why is the volume so low on my computer speakers? Reubent: thanks very much. | |
| Getting off the merry-go-round – AFRAID TO??? In my estimation, you're right... you should be done. You have 2 very satisfying music systems and you think there is a dilemma? Some of us are trying to assemble one satisfying system. You don't need or have to keep spending. I've kept spending b... | |
| Recommended one make systems? I don't think your question is odd at all. System synergy should be strong when you match electronics and sources by the same audio house. If you like a manufacturers "house" sound, then it should make a very good start on a satisfying system. I w... | |
| How to start assemble a system You are making quite an upgrade in quality, size (weight), and expense compared to your current speakers. I only have experience with the VR4 JR's so I can't advise you on speaker choice. I will say that if it were me, and I was buying used at Aud... | |
| MF A5 is messed up Sounds like a serious case of microphonics to me. The bad part is that the tubes are soldered in place. I don't understand why MF continues to solder tubes into their tubed components when most manufacturers use sockets. For the convenience of the... | |
| dissapointing audiophile recording The only one I have is a Chesky Audiophile Gold cd "New York Reunion." It's well recorded but seems somehow lacking in emotional involvement. I had high hopes for it before purchase. At least it cost little or nothing. | |
| Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget Don't overlook the Jolida JD 100. I have several cdps. I have a Level l mod (Underwood) that I've had for a few years and it continues to hang on in my system though I've purchased other quality and more expensive players. I can recommended the mo... | |
| Sales: truth in weight? Chuck, you said, "For this reason Fedex tends to be a bit higher"I've calculated shipping cost at UPS.com and Fedex.com on more than a few occasions for the same package using dimensions, weight, and destination point. Each time Fedex comes out ch... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Regalma1, I Don't know what rms is. I have a power regenerator now that does a steady 120 at 60 cycles so the mains voltage is solid. | |
| How would you rate these 2 Channel amps Only slight familiarity with one of these (Krell). There are too many other top end companies not listed hear. Newmanoc already said it best. You have got to seek out brands and try to audition if possible, preferably in your setup. This is the on... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Just had an electrician here yesterday. He did say I had too many breakers on one side of my panel -but nothing more. [You may have a faulty breaker with high contact resistance causing too much of a voltage drop to the AC power reaching your syst... | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? Talon Raven C speakers- was too impatient with their performance and was unwilling to work with them to optimize their performance-should have gotten rid of my McIntosh 6900 instead and found electronics to make the Ravens sing- never got to hear ... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Dpac999- I occasionally turn off my system, but most of the time my gear is turned on. Jsawhitlock, whatever the action that took place--I guess it was the mains switch that was responsible for the altered sonics rather than the breakers. That bei... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Tgrisham, as Reb1208 suggests, the wiping action of the contacts in the breakers (especially after a couple years of oxidation) created better surface contact and created a better electrical connection. (I assume this is why electricians suggest t... | |
| Tweak your AC mains for better performance, free Reb1208: that's what I thought too. |
