| Power Amplifier conundrum. The Beta II will allow the hookup of a second amp if desired so:You could probably get a RCA Y-connector to run two amps from the preamp.I can't remember doing it myself,but a lot of people do it all the time.It may,or may not affect the sound som... | |
| Power Amplifier conundrum. I don't know how your amp will get along with the combination of speakers/switcher,but it does sound like the Adcom could be the culprit to me too.With everything shut off,cycle the Adcom switches several times.This may help some.A contact cleaner... | |
| Tube rolling for Musical Fidelity Nuvista M3? I'm not 100% sure,but someone told me years back that they were made by RCA,even if they have different brands stamped on them. | |
| ARC VS60 bias Voltage variations may have caused it too.Its better to haveit to low,instead of to high.That way it will run cooler,thatis the amp,and tubes. | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? A little older,but nice.The CAV-50 integrated. | |
| Amp's nominal power rating - any use? Dynamic headroom? | |
| thorens 124 mk2 idler wheel adjustment There is mention of an idler spring when you Google it.Pic from the net.[http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/TD124.htm] | |
| thorens 124 mk2 idler wheel adjustment I've been wrong in the past,but I can't imagine that it doesn't have a tension spring.Are you able to check it from underneath with the platter on,and engaged in the play mode,unplugged from power for safety?The reason I'm asking this way is,the i... | |
| Amp's nominal power rating - any use? Its probably the best reasonable rating anybody could come up with without getting to much into specs that are hard for a lot of people to understand.If they give it at full bandwidth,it sure helps.The speaker being driven creates a hard power rat... | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? 10-04-10: AberyclarkI believe a $500 a/v receiver will sound just as good as a $500 2 channel receiver or amp.How may can you find that will drive 4 ohm speakers.A lot of mid-fi,and high end speakers are 4 ohms. | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Correction for my last post.I should have said,true Class A at 20 watts per channel,all channels driven.Not some form of Class A whatever that is. | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? Arcam may be ok for a receiver.It would be nice if they would give you the true power ratings at 20-20k all channels driven.A 80 watt amp is not going to drive a lot of speakersthat fall into the high end category.I don't believe it can give true ... | |
| Monitors for a small room - please help Spendor,Harbeth,and Dynaudio all deserve an audition. | |
| Component Video cables vs HDMI The early high end gear did use component cable for 1080p, before HDMI was around,and adapted for the standard.Vidikron and Faroudja are good examples.It makes you wonder,how many HDMI versions,plus how long will it be around. | |
| AV Receiver good enough for high end audio? In fact, I'm willing to bet that other components in your system would provide the weaker link before the high end receiver (unless you have ultra high end speakers, transports, etc)I don't think it would be high end if it didn't cost more.A lot o... |
