| Resistor replacement Wilson Sophia (original)... Why do you want to do this? Crossover resistors are rugged enough to last the life of a speaker - and beyond! Stop being neurotic and settle down and listen to some music! | |
| Bi-amping No need for any fancy jumpers! A few inches of copper wire will do just fine. That's what I use on my Snell Type A's. | |
| Bi-amping Yes, just use one set of cables per speaker and a jumper between the positive pair and between the negative pair terminals. No need for a more expensive bi-wire cable. | |
| Bi-amping Wire companies that claim to sell bi-wire cables are just pulling your leg! For more profit of course! | |
| Bi-amping Only if you use an electronic x-over and bypass the woofer x-over. Simply using a separate wire to the woofer input does nothing because the woofer x-over is still in use. This passive woofer x-over usually has an inductor which compromises amplif... | |
| Schiit Yggdrassil Fuse Value Stop falling for the nonsense of "audiophile" fuses! There is ZERO sonic difference between a Buss/Littel fuse and those expensive hyped ones! | |
| Cable for Transport to Dac Be sure to use a cable 1.5 meters or longer! Shorter cables can have reflections that can cause distortion. I use a 2 meter cable from transport to DAC. | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge Buy the BRX's, place them next to the Heresy's and alternate listening! | |
| Speaker for 5w Bugera tube guitar amp The Jensen will work fine! That "25 watt" means that the speaker can handle that many watts continuous. | |
| Decided to try a SPU cartridge I don’t think you can use an SUT with a current source phono stage. An SUT is a voltage-to-current converter. Regarding tone arms - a heavy arm like an FR or an Ikeda is a must for any SPU or low-compliance mc cartridge. Also SAEC arms! | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 If your amps have not been used in awhile get a variac and power them up slowly to avoid stressing the ps caps. | |
| Thoughts about buying a Bedini 100 If the amps produce hum through the speakers then replace the power supply caps. Otherwise leave them alone! The board caps don’t need replacement. Will Vincent (autospec) lives in Idaho and was friends with the Bedini brothers. I bought a custom-... | |
| Decided to try a SPU cartridge After the tonearm you will need an Ortofon SUT! | |
| Pl advise on Amp for listening to AOR on Klipsch RF7 Mk II via a custom built R2R NOS DAC Topping PA5 - $349! 110wpc@8ohms clipping. Why spend more? | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! Throw away the Bose equalizer, add a pair of powered subs along with a 200wpc amp and now you're cookin'! |
