| balanced is inherently flawed Onhwy61, if you only read my last post then I can see where you come to your conclusion, but if you followed from the beginning you will see that one of my main reasons for taking the inherently flawed position has to do with the problem of first ... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Thanks for taking the time to more clearly state your case. It was much better than the "it is better because it is better" post you put up earlier.You seem to miss the big point here. We are talking about home stereo, nothing else. Not recording ... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Atmasphere, welcome to the discussionOuch! Im glad you decided not to flame me. It would have been reduced to tears. At first I was going to just walk away with my tail between my legs utterly defeated until I realized:A: you misrepresented what ... | |
| balanced is inherently flawed Ed, I think you've found the secret, happy components, which to me means using your equipment the way it was designed to be used.I checked out your system, very nice, especially those AMC Gremlins :>) | |
| 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... |
