| 60 Hz Hum from Powered Sub If you added a new electrical device, it could be anything from a cooktop to a heater. This device could be causing a DC on mains issue which causes the transformer to buzz. So you need to isolate the noise. If the driver is making the noise, it ... | |
| Panamax Power Conditioner: Keep or Upgrade I tried the iFi Ac Purifier and didn't like it. It had a negative effect on the dynamics of my system so I gave it away. I never tried the power station. I know it has an AC Purifier built in so I think it would have the same effect. However. it ... | |
| Hang / move large tv by myself? Is there a tool? Geek Squad from Best Buy $199.99 They will take it down put it back up. If they break it, BB will replace it. If you break it in the move, you will eat the cost & have to buy a new tv. Sometimes, paying a professional saves money. | |
| Attention Sonus Faber Amati Owners I have a pair of Guarneri Homages: I use a leather conditioner once a year to the front baffle. I apply it with a chamois cloth very sparingly. Then I buff it dry with a clean chamois. The drivers I clean with canned compressed air. The cabinets ... | |
| Sonus Faber vs Wilson There is no correct answer to the question: It seems to me the Wilsons should have been on your list of speakers to consider before purchasing the SF's. Now, if you change, you will take a big financial hit & you will own ugly but great soundi... | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? This may seem like to much common audio sense but maybe the room & your equipment are a bad match: If you have another room , you can try an experiment to see if another room yields the same results: If you bought them new, I am sure the auth... | |
| Drivers and how to clean them: Notes from ScanSpeak Compressed air works great: 2 cans for $10.00 at Best Buy. | |
| Where are the young audiophiles? Being a 30 year retail A/V veteran, there has been a trend away from 2 ch audio for the most part across the board for at least 15 years, 99% of my customers purchase sound bars. Why? Smart tv's can be the source of all entertainment: only 2 wires... | |
| Sending a 110 lb amp to the manufacturer for cleaning/calibration. Good idea? How to ship? By the time you pay for shipping both ways to find out no problem found or pay for a very expensive full capacitor replacement, you are better off stashing the money away for a new or used amp replacement. The Mark Levinson guy said that because ... | |
| Speaker Cables speaker designers put 4 posts for reason so bi-wiring should yield better sound: At least it does with 4 different pairs of speakers that I own that all offer the bi-wire option. If you don't want to run 2 separate speaker runs, you can check out ... | |
| AQ Blizzard or Thunder? So the Thunder is designed for high current applications such as power conditioners and amps. The Blizzard is multi purpose and can be used for High Current & source components. The thunder is solid core strands vs concentric packing. I am no... | |
| Best lower end cables for B&W speakers...? audioquest rocket 11 or 22 in single bi-wire configuration. If you you use bare wire, it keeps the cost way down. AQ bananas are expensive. Both cables were recommended by What Hi Fi. B&W's definitely benefit from bi-wiring, I have owned sever... | |
| Ready, set, comment! Speaker cables don’t make a difference? Both Gene & Amir arrive at the same conclusion every time they measure something. Thus, there is no need to watch their videos because we already know the answer. | |
| VINYL SUCKS! It still boils down to preference. Personally, I gave up vinyl 30 years ago and would never go back. To me vinyl is too inconvenient. Even if it does sound better, which is a contentious debate, It has too many negatives for me. I have 4 systems s... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? The history of audio shows that you cannot make blanket assumptions on any product based on theory: There are too many variables to make any conclusion that class A is always sounds better than class AB. The results are aways dependent on the syne... |
