| How can power cords make a difference? Dekay- Brulee just brought the subject of a PC to my attention. I'll take a look around here. I'm sure I have a few IEC and 15A connectors here someplace. However, I hope to be moving soon, so I can't promise exactly when this little endeavor will... | |
| biamp with single posts? Perk- Nope. The speakers (crossovers) need to be designed with this option in mind, and would have dual posts. | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem Bow- The Herron is an excellent choice for a pre-amp upgrade. Once it is fully broken in and you have a good feel for how it sonically fits in your system, be sure to play with different NOS tubes. Also, I'm sure that you've already thought about ... | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem Hey, Dekay - Does the miniature, giant gorilla (oxymoron intended) on the E.S.B. throw off the imaging? | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem Aragain- Though I don't discount your view on cables, my experience in my systems have suggested otherwise. I guess it comes down to the term "subtle effects." In absolute terms, you're quite right. However, in terms of musical appreciation or inc... | |
| Upper Midrange Glare problem Bow- You are bound to have a slightly different suggestion from every poster. You have obviously attempted to assemble a high quality system and have given thought to each choice. None of the suggestions above, or mine, are meant to belittle your ... | |
| FIM owners, please stand up ? Virt- The FIM Gold are hardly the most expensive power cords out there, but certainly comparable to them in performance. They possess amazing transparency with outstanding dynamics. They also have the least tonal colorations of any cord/cable that... | |
| Help - amp going into safe mode Kubla- Assuming that the pre-amp isn't passing dc to the amp, or RF getting into the amp, and that there aren't speaker cable or interconnect problems, the amp is sick. It is likely a faulty sensor (dc offset or temp) or the amp is overheating due... | |
| Panasonic H1000 vs Pioneer DV-38A Cyrus- The H1000 has outstanding video quality, and very good audio. The Elite is no slouch, but the H1000 is preferred in my system. However, because of the inadequate warranty compared to the Elite unit, I'd go with the Elite. Send Panasonic a m... | |
| Buying tubes 2nd Hand Just- I've purchased quite a few tubes off the web. There is always the possibility of getting a tube with less life than stated, but I try to stick with sources that actually measure the tubes and give the values per section. I also try to stay w... | |
| FIM owners, please stand up ? Nex- Adsal is correct about the stiffness, but I wouldn't say "too" stiff. It takes some effort, but the sonic performance is truly outstanding. If you are fanatical about your system, then you should hear the FIM GOLD cables. Like me, you may fin... | |
| Any Power Cord Recommendations For DACs? A used Shunyata Cobra or King Cobra v1, BMI Whale, FIM Silver or Gold series just to name a few. Good luck. | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Leafs- I think you might have missed the point. Brulee didn't say the Belden was as good as the FIM. Actually, he stated that the FIM, once allowed to perform in place for some period of time approaching 24 hours, sounded clearly superior to the B... | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Brulee- All you have to do is setup another EMC-1 with the same brand and length of "burned in" interconnects to your integrated while having one CD fed with the FIM and the other CD fed from the Belden. Of course, you'll have to have the same "pl... | |
| PANASONIC DVD-H2000 Flav- If the warranty is any better than the H1000, I wouldn't buy it. Yes, the H1000 is a great unit! However, mine didn't last a year before the motor failed and the warranty was for only 90 days as I seem to recall. Check into the warranty peri... |
