| Tube preamp match with Solid Stare amp I had been using a VAC Renaissance II for many years with my Pass Labs X250.5, it was a very pleasing combination. Recently got the upgrade bug, VAC is one of the few high end manufacturers here in Florida and I really wanted to stick with them b... | |
| Upgrading DC Cables for Linear Power Supply I have used this below from LPS to Liberty DAC. There's also a place in England MCRU (Mains Cables R Us), really, that makes them, not too expensive. Audio Sensibility are very good, bit more expensive, Steven is knowledgable and a good guy to ... | |
| I can't be the only Cary Audio DMS-600 user experiencing this problem streaming Qobuz ... just found this thread. My DMS 600 has had some odd problems streaming Tidal with the new app. If I add new tracks or albums to my tidal lists they sometimes don't show up on the Cary app. I have found that if I scroll down to the bottom of ... | |
| Why so little Primare gear on A'gon? Bad rep? I use an SP 31 as a pre/pro for dolby encoded sound from cable TV and DVD's. Its's fine sounding unit with a lot of flexiblity. Primare is distributed by Sumiko. I developed a problem, no sound from one channel. It was fixed under warranty by Sumi... | |
| Jerry Ozment has a new dac out... Update--I just spoke with Jerry Ozment and the upgrade from 24MXL to 34 MXL is still not available. He's working on maximizing the effects of the upgrade while minimizing changes that have no sonic benefit. Unfortunately for us 24 MXL owners, this... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines thanks for the heads up shasta, a little melodramatic but thanks | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines thanks you guys, I do have the old style screw in glass fuses and I know that if I ever sell my home I'd need to convert to circuit breakers. And Steveaudio, your point about the 20 amp fuses was not O/T as that was my question, did a 20 amp fuse ... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines In response to your post Steveaudio, I've been in this home 12 years and am not going anywhere in near future so I will look into the changout from fuses to breakers, how will that be better audiophile-wise?system incl cary preamp, pass x-250 amp,... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines I just unscrewed the fuse (20 amp) to see what else was on the line in addition to my stereo/ht. This line controls my kitchen fluorescent light, one outlet used by a cordless phone, and two other overhead lights. Are there degrees as to how negat... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines I mean can I use the existing junction boxes that house my existing FIM outlets? | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines Thanks Ozfly, can the outlets I use now be converted into the dedicated lines by running different cables to them, or do I have to install new, never before existing, outlets agt the end of the deeicated line runs? | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines Also, I did install some new outlets last year, FIM's, would a dedicated line necessitate using new outlets or can I use the ones I have now by runnning a new dedicated line to it? As you can see my Ph. D. is NOT in electrical engieering! | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines thanks, esp to you Harry for your thorough response. Viridian, I know that my main panel is not up to code and if and when I sell my home I'd have to replace it. Would changing it from the current fuse setup to breakers improve my stereo/ht even w... | |
| What's involved in dedicated lines thanks, but what would the electrician actually need to do? How much do I need in my checking acct? | |
| What's the oldest piece of gear in your system? like several other posters mine is a Kenwood KT-917 tuner, which I rarely use due to LOUSY radio in Miami and not a great antenna. It's also one of my all time 'deals' as I purchased a demo for $179 and they're selling used for $600-$800 now |
