It's All About Increments
In regards to the above, I suppose what I'm getting at as well is that all the AMD gear has changed things for me. I should point out that I regard it as a different animal than power conditioning. Electrical noise is basically infinite...and in w... 
It's All About Increments
I'm in the middle of revamping my system and going from a preamp-less, single-amped system with transport & DAC to a preamp-less, active tri-amped system with a CDP source. By no means do I have an unlimited budget...although I did find myself... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
Hi Randyhat, "The thing is, if you depend upon word of mouth internet reviews to get the word out about your product you have to be prepared for negative comments". Agreed. It's not hard for me to feel that, if I were Alex, I would've at least tri... 
Sloped baffle
Hi Bif, I've found that time alignment is certainly worthwhile, but let me just say that all you may need is a way to visualize how and why it would be important. I'm not technically as well versed on the subject as some, but I do have some direct... 
OPPO 105; how to beat it and at what price?
Sorry for my fact error above and if I overstepped my bounds, Ric...not out to put words into anyone's mouth, but I still get carried away when I gush sometimes - especially during happy hour...(sigh) 
OPPO 105; how to beat it and at what price?
If it were me, I'd keep the 105, but send it to Ric Schultz at EVS. He has an extensive mod program for the 103 and 105. Roughly $2,500 to mod your 105 into an unbalanced, 2-channel player, but you can also get the balanced mods and/or multi-chann... 
Whole House Surge Absorber.
Over the last 4 years I've been buying a lot of Alan Maher Designs gear (thousands of $s of it) that is intended to reduce electronic noise, both in the system and in the home. Lots of different pieces to be installed all over the house, near comp... 
Hum problem - help
If all of what Bojack suggests above fails, I believe I'd be scrutinizing the crossover in the B&W's...or the wiring to them. 
Caps going out?? Whats this noise...
I can only think to suggest looking inside your 200 to see if maybe there are any hairline fractures anywhere with the circuit boards possibly. Or a cracked solder joint. Or it could well be a part is out of spec, but it may be a resistor or diode... 
OPPO BLU RAY PLAYERS
I'll most likely switch to a computer source and use my 103 as a DAC, with either its USB or HDMI input. But, like Doggiehowser says, I'm not counting bluray out, for the time being (more than a hundred music titles to be released by Sony this fal... 
Finding the elusive
Or amp, if that's the case... 
Finding the elusive
Good to hear, B_limo! It's always good when you finally hit that magic combination. Congrats and cheers!Regards, JohnBTW, what were the new speakers? 
audiphile power cords
They do make a difference - or at least they can - but, only sometimes or not. But, as near as I understand it, one of the biggest stumbling blocks for PC designers is proper geometry vs gauge vs length. The big goal being to lower impedance. Nois... 
what amp under a grand?
It may not be your amp, but if it is, then ditto on the McCormack. I'd vote for the 125. The "McCormack sound" may not have the very last word in HF extension or air, but their amps are very highly regarded in every other respect. 125 should be sl... 
Need suggestions on bookshelf speaker upgrades
No worries! :) I like these forums, too. Keep right on truckin'.
