| Need 25 foot interconnects @erik_squires This is exactly what I would do in his situation, balanced might be better if you have tons of noise from other equipment like recording studios do, but in the home environment it's unlikely, though it does happen every once and... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock You are probably right about the double insulated ground, but some of the old equipment used a floating ground. One of the most dangerous old radios was the all American five, if the polarity was reversed on the cord all the metal on the outside o... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I'm guessing the chassis can also make a difference in sound, less vibration. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Most of the older two prong corded equipment is double insulated, even some modern stuff such as my marantz avr is double insulated with a two prong cord, so it can be perfectly safe. I'm not saying the carver crimson amps are safe as I haven't lo... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? A lot of the high priced amps do have a better build quality than stuff like Schitt, not that Schitt is bad gear, but they can't price it low and have the build quality of a Dan D'Agostino amp, and I'm not just talking about the difference in the ... | |
| Need 25 foot interconnects I'm running 20' RCA cables and it didn't make a difference in sound when I used a 3' RCA cable, I compared them in the same room with the same equipment. I'm not saying your balanced output may not sound better, but I don't think that going from 1... | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? @teo_audio Some of these hard to drive speakers were made because people wanted full range speakers that took up less real estate. | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? Maybe they are outliers because they are the only ones to give it a try. | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? Some Thiel owners say tube amps sound better, with more natural bass than solid state amps, just goes to show you don't know just going by the numbers, listening is the best policy. | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? @moose89 If you are planning on using the marantz as a preamp, I did this once with a different model marantz avr and it sounded horrible. You can give it a try though, as it doesn't cost you anything but a little bit of time. | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? Krell amps don't really double the power when impedance is halved, krell understated the 8ohm power ratings, check out stereophiles measurements. I have that same amp you have it' definitely has an overbuilt power supply, but to double it's power ... | |
| Best DACs under $7,000.00 You want anolog sound with layering, get a space tech labs dac with one of his super rectifiers. | |
| Reminder: how to tell current from an amp's specs? @8th-note how do you know the Thiel's will sound anemic in the bass with tube amps, have you ever tried a high powered tube amp with them? There is a guy running tube research labs gt800 tube amps with apogee full range and he said the bass was ... | |
| Install A Dedicated AC Line at home The electrical inspectors in my area don't even need to be licensed electricians, they go to courses that they don't even need to fully attend, most of them go golfing instead. I had a friend that worked there and had a heating and cooling licence... | |
| NAD M23 Stereo Amplifier: Best Amp Ever Bench Tested?!? Triodes are more linear than jfets, as the jfet is more like a pentode. |
