| Musical Complexity Issues??? How sturdy is the 'table stand? One thing to try is to improve the vibration isolation (aurios, seismic sink, etc). Also look at the coupling of the stand to the floor, esp if it sits on carpet. Placing stone tile under the stand, along with some ... | |
| Great service from Mark Levinson and Madrigal Count me in also - they still service (and upgraded) my relatively ancient 20.6 mono's to this day. The folks at Madrigal Labs continue to offer support and service through my dealer even though he has long since stopped selling Levinson gear. | |
| Anyone Tried Shakti Stones? Yes, and they do work. Most noticeably is atop the input transformers of my tube amps, above/below a Genesis Digital Lens and above the DAC power supply xfmr. Where they make little or no difference is on (my) speakers, power conditioner, pre-amp ... | |
| Need owner's manual for Genesis Digital Lens Maybe this link will help:http://www.stereo411.com/manu/index.cfm?man=339&view=dealers&show=detail | |
| Dedicated line which wire? The power line to your outlets should never be less than #12 in order to maintain the 20-amp (max) rating. Most commercial grade #12 wiring is THHN solid core copper. If you buy a cord with #10's, then you are effectively limiting the power draw t... | |
| Words From the Wise No one else's opinion is superior to your own ears.If you don't have the time, patience or ability to discern a difference in a component, tweak or upgrage - don't buy it. | |
| No Stereophile review for Aragon Palladium II? Whether or not a product is reviewed is immaterial to one basic fact: Are you happy with it. Don't fall into the trap where the opinion or judgment of someone else is perceived to be better than yours. Keep in mind that a review is very subjective... | |
| Clockwise or counter looking at the panel? The MIT RCA barrel has two parts - stationary and rotating. The stationary barrel is to the rear, closest to the cable jacket. Both barrels have knurled grips. To remove, hold the stationary barrel firmly and turn the front (rotating) barrel by th... | |
| Tube question ...just to qualify my statement - the Russian MilSpec/Ei Yugo/RFT's are better sounding in my CAT MKII preamp (and associated equipment and room) than ANY other tube combo. Nothing against the NOS tubes, just happens to be that way in my gear wher... | |
| Tube question As far as how often tubes have to be replaced depends on how you use your equipment. I leave my tube amps and preamp on 24/7. My tube amps are 4 watts so heat is not a major concern.I replace the whole preamp set three times a year at a cost of ab... | |
| Difference between Forte 4 and 4A amp ? I owned a Model 4a - both face plate and back sticker were marked "4a". | |
| Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers? I have owned a pair of 3.6's for quite a while. The bad rap they get for "brightness" is because they are very resolving - what you hear is the equipment behind them and not the speaker. Unfortunately, they require state of the art amplification t... | |
| What Would you Trade your System FOR? Left seat in a B-52 over Kabul. | |
| Advice on installing dedicated outlets I personally have three dedicated isolated ground 20-amp circuits for my system. Two 100W mono block power amps occupy one circuit each and the other 20-amp ckt is for pre-amp/xport/dac on a line conditioner (this has the advantage of allowing the... | |
| To much power into one recepticle? Not only that, but you have to be mindful of what other devices are plugged into outlets on the same circuit. Max connected load should not exceed 1920VA for a 20-A ckt and 1440VA for a 15-amp. Make sure your equipment is not on the same circuit a... |
