| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES I should make clear on my previous statement - that is if your home is relatively modern with a good electrical system, or is an older home with a professionally upgraded electrical system. I can see the value in having a dedicated 20A circuit for... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES tattooedtrackman My point is: If you already have a 15A service with receptacles where you need them and there is not already a host of other devices plugged into that circuit - that circuit would be most adequate for your cdp and possible other ... | |
| Replacing generic RECEPTACLES Scratching my head, Why does anyone think that they need a 20A dedicated circuit for a CDP? I see the purpose for using a better outlet receptacle, as a better tighter connection and grip, is always a plus, but I see no purpose in having a dedicat... | |
| Fraud Alert: Audio Zoom Zoom, Netherlands musicm: Sorry about your lose. It’s to bad that some of the posters, on here, place themselves above everyone else and can’t feel good unless they’re being snide and insulting. Little wonder that some, in our audiophile community, post here a few ... | |
| First Foray into XLR @iealesLooking back, I've got to laugh a bit at my own statement, as mind blowing and blows away aren't terms I usually use when describing, what are usually quite subtle differences, when comparing A and B, very nice components. I would not say t... | |
| First Foray into XLR @ieales We did not simply do A/B switching (I am not a fan of simple A/B switching). We extensively listened to both amps and to the VAC in both RCA and XLR inputs, at various volumes, and assorted genres of music, experimenting with two different... | |
| First Foray into XLR I always did and still do, only to a point, believe that the main reason to choose XLRs over RCAs is to reduce noise, when long cable runs are necessary. Recently, while doing some A/B comparisons, with a friend, between a PrimaLuna, Dialogue, Pre... | |
| Please evaluate my system... Tim, it sounds like , in all, you are quite happy with your system and in all, are quite satisfied with what you hear. While upgrades, or supposed upgrades will always be a part of the audiophile bug, there will always be fan boys (who mean well) ... | |
| The Magnificent Magnepan 30.7 speakers....wait, I don’t like planars! Would love to, one day, afford the Maggie 30.7s and a room big enough to optimally use them. For now, I’m pretty happy with my little 1.7s. Those who say the Maggies won’t image well, if you’re not stuck to the sweet spot, I suspect, have not take... | |
| Surprised Over the years, I’ve enjoyed some very decent speakers, including Quad ESL 63s, Vandi 2cis, Geshhmans, ADS, PSB and others. One of my favorite small speakers (for small spaces) was a set of Focal. 2 way mini monitors, with external x-overs. Very s... | |
| Floor standing speaker isolation advice needed. My best advice to the OP, keeping it cost effective and simple, is not to overwhelm yourself by trying to many things, in to many combinations. Using what you have, first try the individual items you have - by themselves. Listen and compare and if... | |

| Removing spikes... Now my speakers sing WOW! Geoff actually can deviate from making witty, snide, insulting remarks to imparting meaningful, helpful information....Way to go Geoff! | |
| Getting into Tube Equipment +2 for the Rogue Cronus Magnum II integrated tub amp. I am driving a pr. of Magnapan 1.7s and it does a beautiful job. It also has a very decent phono stage. Can buy new for under $3,000.00 and sometimes find used for under 2K. Made in the USA and... | |
| Hard Audio - Ceramic Speakers A while back, I had a chance to audition a host of some very nice, current model, speakers among them was the little Raidho, C-1.2s. At first listen, I was very impressed with their quick, dynamic and micro detailed presentation, but after a half ... |
