| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter Taters,My apologies for the lack of clarity. As I do almost all correspondence with e-mail I forgot he sent me his #. When I initially corresponded with him it was e-mail only and I was inquiring about diy power cables. This was when the e- mail c... | |
| How many watts per channel are enough? You are tapping the amp out on musical peaks. Most tube amps have distortion climbing when tapped out and bandwidth narrowing. The distortion many times sounds like congestion. Remember, double your power and you only get 3db. Also, check to see i... | |
| Does my acoustic ideology make me an outcast? Greetings,I reject live music as "the reference" because I have walked out on more than one live concert because it sounded like s**t. I listen with a group of 6-7 philes and each goes a little different direction in tailoring sound. After all, yo... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter You will have to call the phone number on the website and odds are that Chris hinself will pick up the phone and give you all the details. He is setting it up so that you can have two or 4 outlets, and decide on the type of outlets. I chose Rhodiu... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter Taters, I totally agree with your assessment. I could never understand the AC hype until I heard the Plasmatron. I had a friend who wanted to do an audition of AC tweaks and letting curiosity override skepticism I participated. We compared the PT ... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter What is great in one system can be dreadful in another. AC treatment is trickey so audition with all sources and keep it for a week if possible. JALLEN | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter After hearing the Plasmatron, I had to rethink my skepticism of line treatment of any kind...power cords, filters, ac plugs etc. The difference was greater than going from a Benchmark to a Berkeley DAC. With that kind of a diffetence I verified it... | |
| Looking for a power conditioner/regenerator/filter Try to hear the new Plasmatron from vh audio. Factory direct only. We compared it to the PS Audio regeneration system. No contest. The PT was not just a little better. But few believe what other philes hear as tastes vary. Hear one for yourself. A... | |
| Maggie 3,6's with levinson 20.amp any thoughts The new Carvers will have the needed Testosterone as will the big Manleys and a few other tube amps. For SS, Bryston is legendary, just get 500wpc or 300wpc if the room is smaller. Bel Canto is getting a following and McCormack is as well. Pass go... | |
| Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring The curse of a mod forthis type of speaker is too high for the slight change in sound from an internal wire change. Perhaps a 5% change. Try a tube amp or preamp known to tame the hot top end. Mods will kill resale value unless factory done. Jallen | |
| What is the best....? Just an opinon | |
| Tube Monoblocks in the 5-7K Range Quicksilver silver 88. The V4 were too warm for my taste, but matching is the key. Jallen | |
| Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012 To clarify, my response is to the original question, not 6550C with who I agree with. JALLEN | |
| Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012 On the contrary, I find many new box speakers to be only marginal and panel makers should continue sleeping well at night. I have had 3.6, 1.6 maggies, monitor and numerous floor standing speakers. All have some sttribute and limitation. My maggie... | |
| shielded vs. non-shielded in longer runs of cable Agreed with Elizabeth. I use Kimber PBJ, and custom made Silver in a similar braid as the Kimber, no hum or noise unless lying parallel to power cords. I prefer non-shielded when possible. My length of IC is shorter than Elizabeth's at 4 meters, b... |
