Resistors vs.peltz Autoformer- Differences
Thanks Almarg, et al.@millercarbon,Yes, I agree, getting the right equipment is the best approach. I was curious as to how either method worked, especially with regard to sound reproduction.Given that Zu has signed off on the resistors, I would im...

When do the new Atmasphere Class D come out?
Thanks Erik,Ralph and I have been going through just about everything, to no avail.Everything is quiet until I install the UV-1.Also, dedicated line to my upstairs system.Something about my McCormack Micro Power Drives and the UV-1 don't want to w... 
When do the new Atmasphere Class D come out?
@atmasphere ,Thanks for the info Ralph.I am waiting on a new set of cables to see if that helps with the buzz.The only thing next to the UV-1 is an Ayre Codex DAC and a LCD monitor. The amps are at least 3 feet away.When you need a Beta tester, lo... 
Vandersteen 5a, 15 years old vs. new Vandersteen Quatro Wood (upgrade or downgrade)
I really have to get those Sub 3's for my Treo's. I think the equalized bass is going to be a game changer.Bob 
Upgrade McCormack or...

Thiel CS1.2 vs. Ohm Walsh 2
Wait, isn't your Denon 80 watts per channel? If so, I would think you have enough power for the Thiel's, at least for now- and, if you don't try playing too loudly.If you need a decent low cost amp, you could try to find an old Adcom GFA-555, but ... 
Personal Radio does not completely stink
Spotify has the best recommendations I have found.And, yes I agree AI seems to be pretty good at predicting what I want to listen to. It also generates a number of artists that I never would have clicked on to listen to.Bob 
Test for line separator - ignore or delete.
Let's ignore the above comment.B

When do the new Atmasphere Class D come out?
Ralph say it will be a while.It takes time to make a viable/reliable product, let alone designing the boards and cases.Too bad for me as I could use a pair while he is checking out why my amp and UV-1 are buzzing.Bob 
Single output at amp, tri wire at speaker. Any benefit?
If speaker manufacturers didn't think it made a difference, they wouldn't bother providing separate inputs.As millercarbon mentions, if you have the cable availabe, just try it out.If you don't most cable companies will be able to make a cable tha...
