| balanced is inherently flawed Thanks for all of the considered responses. The points about ground loops, rejecting internal EMI, cost of common components such as cases, systems in a noisy enviroment, the ability to closely match stages if willing to spend the money, everythin... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Sorry for the spelling and grammar mistakes. I intended to hit "preview first" but hit "submit as-is" by mistake so I couldn't edit. | |
| What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect? What 2nd harmonic? | |
| Shipping Vinyl LP's I mailed a bunch of LPs USPS to Hong Kong. I went to U-Hual and got the box that is just right for albums and the next size bigger (12x12x12 and 14x14x14 I think).Put the albums in the small box and it in the larger with wadded up newspaper betwee... | |
| What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect? S earch the archives for BALANCED and you'll find more than you need. | |
| Hissy fit How low of a level? How close to the speaker do you have to be to hear it?ALL amplifiers produce some hiss/noise. If you have to move close to the speaker to hear it then I wouldn't worry about it. | |
| recommended power cords - Naim CD5/Flatcap2? Naim will tell you that the cord provided is the best to use as the final design of all their pieces is based on this cord. They claim to test all manner of cords, interconnects, and speaker cables and have yet to find any that perform better.I ha... | |
| Drums drums drums Im looking for more cds Not exacxtly what you described, but look into Ginger Baker's catalog. Although he generaly has backing musicians, most are very heavily drum dominated. I'm sorry I'm not at home to give you some titles of the more drum dominated albums. | |
| Un-equal length speaker cable advice?? If using expensive cables, use equal lengths because you'll take a beating trying to sell an un-equal pair. I'd go with equal lengths of the Au24, a very nice cable. | |
| Best Amp/Preamp Combo for around $6K? A watt is a watt but most amps are spec'd at continuous power output into 8 ohms. Just as important is the ability of the amp to deliver short bursts of power into lower impedance loads. Naim amps do this very well so they can play as loudly as so... | |
| CDP - running only one channel, can this damage? Sean, while I usually find your responses to be well reasoned, I find nothing in this one to support your position. Just what do you mean by " circuit degradation?" You state that it occurs, but offer no explanation of how it occurs or what form i... | |
| CDP - running only one channel, can this damage? Sean, I would like to hear your reasoning on this. What harm can possibly come from running a line level device unterminated? | |
| CDP - running only one channel, can this damage? That would be fine. | |
| Best Amp/Preamp Combo for around $6K? If you like your CD player, continue down the Naim path. You can get an excellent pre/power for $6000 with enough left to buy a Flatcap for your CD player. | |
| Help: my phono preamp is blowing away my linestage I agree that the rouge is holding you back. Since the IO is designed to drive a linestage directly, you can use a passive volume control like the Placette and get a huge improvement. I used mine this way and it was very nice. You could also send y... |
