| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? Sorry, can't help on a service resource in the Boston area, but I hope it works out well. It would be a shame if they have to be retired due to repair/refurbish cost. Let us know how it goes. | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on @ghdprentice I wholly agree with everything you said. Before I moved into my current home, I had stable power (voltage and distortion) and a good power conditioner was all that I needed. New home, different story. So, I would put out there t... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on Never hurts to find out. You could always pick one up used. The seem to resell pretty quickly. In fact, The Music Room (tmraudio.com) has a couple of P5 units for <$1600 right now. | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please @ justlance 11x11 and I'm guessing 8 foot ceiling max. Any room treatments? Carpet, bass traps, book cases or other diffusion/absorbation (especially at the 1st reflection points, heavy curtains for the window, a lot of furniture, etc.? A... | |
| OK Audiogon, help me out please @justlance What is the rest of your equipment, what is your room like? What kind of music do you listen to? Do you play it loud? or at low volumes? etc.... All of these things will influence what you hear. Both speaker brands are solid an... | |
| The Power Plant Regenerator debate drags on The power in my neighborhood is horrible. Old infrastructure, power lines still on poles, and overdeveloped in the last 20 years. Voltage swings, especially in the summer (think all the air conditioners), are significant. Momentary drop outs ar... | |
| Directional wires/cables @audioman58 - The nitrogen atmosphere in the drawing process is to prevent the surface of the copper from oxidizing. If the surface is oxidized, it will have a higher hardness level and create smaller grain sizes when drawn. Smaller the grain... | |
| Directional wires/cables Matthew, I've been told the same thing by a different cable company. When reading the writing, the flow is left to right. As for the "learning" the direction, I've heard that as well. While electron flow over time will affect the grain structu... | |
| Directional wires/cables @soix - if a cable is shielded, then it should only be grounded on one end, usually on the source side. If you ground both sides, then you are creating another full circuit and turning it into an antenna. @billpete - I worked for company for... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 I can believe it. A good preamp can change everything. Next to speakers, the preamp can be the heart of a good system. As for volume setting being low, the Levinson has a higher gain (i.e. raising the input signal) than the GFP-565. And with t... | |
| Need a little help Sorry to confuse you more. The "high level" speaker outputs on the NAD are the speaker connections, i.e. where you connect the speakers to. Unfortunately the sub doesn't except high level inputs. Good thing is that it does have L and R connecti... | |
| Need a little help Since my last post, I've been thinking on what you are trying to do. What is the make/model sub you have? Since the NAD is an integrated amp, you do have one additional set of outputs on it, the high level speaker outs. You might be able to d... | |
| levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 Once you get everything in and have had time to settle everything in, let us know how it turns out. And don't forget to give the Hana cartridge time to break in. | |
| Need a Streamer +1 audphile.... and to the OP, just to clarify, you said "sometimes Tidal" comes through Bright. Is this for just a few or occasional tracks or everything from Tidal during a time period? | |
| Need a little help From what I think you are saying, the answer is no. You can't feed on channel (L or R) to the amps (and then onto the speakers) and the other channel to just the sub. You have to keep the channels isolated from eachother, left channel going to t... |
