| Help choosing Power Conditioner Tvad - Yes, I was referring to the transformer hum. The Powervar I used (ABC1200) had varying levels of hum by day, sometimes quiet in the morning and then noisy as heck at night. I tried some additional damping of the toroid, helped a little bit ... | |
| New H20 Signature S250 Well, if anyone has doubts about Henry and H2O Audio, I can say that my experience has been first class. Placed my order last weekend, amp arrived today. Removed my prior amp, placed the Signature S250 and listened. What an incredible improvement ... | |
| Help choosing Power Conditioner Keep in mind that you could encounter a buzzing or humming transformer those PowerVar or Oneac units depending on their condition and also if there's any DC present in your power delivery. Here a link to an excellent paper explaining the condition... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-VIIIa --- what amp? Hi Sedona - I'm presently using a Belles 350A and have an H2O Audio Signature S-250 on the way. The Belles never broke a sweat driving the LFT8As. | |
| New H20 Signature S250 Mrcaspence1 - thanks for the info. My original intent was to use the 390S direct to the Sig S250. However, in another thread, I believe someone was going to use the AA player direct and was advised not to. Might work out provided the ICs are low c... | |
| New H20 Signature S250 Hi All,I too have taken the plunge on a Signature S250 this weekend and placed an order with Henry. All the dialog in this thread has been a compelling testament to give this amp a try.Question I have is what preamp? Currently I run a Levinson 390... | |
| Music from hard drive better than CD? Question, you rip a CD to whatever file format desired. What happens to songs that flow one into the other, such as the 1st two tracks on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon? Can the CD be ripped as one image (WAV) and played back through iTunes or... | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Onkyo Integra DX-200, 1986, still operational and in active duty. | |
| High quality transports George - what about your Northstar? That's worth mentioning. | |
| Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used ...maybe the Tosh. up against entry level transports/players, it might hold its own.I have a 3950 and it does not approach the magic of my Levinson # 37 transport (at least in my system). | |
| Separate Transport & DAC: Why not? The Birdland Audio Odéon-Ag DAC has a built-in, remote controllable volume control. | |
| Owners of Cary 308,308T, Arcam FMJ 33 or Ayre CX-7 Yarvis - despite the quirk I found in the 308, I would love to hear their new 303/300, although it pushes the price envelope up far from the 308. Nice thing about the 303 (and also the 308), if this is your only source then you can forego a preamp... | |
| Owners of Cary 308,308T, Arcam FMJ 33 or Ayre CX-7 I had a Cary 308 (not the "t"), was a well rounded player, good build quailty.Quirky player when it came to tracks that begin < 100 ms. from the start of the track, would clip the very beginning of the song, very annoying.Traded up to an Ayre C... | |
| Belles 350A Reference Version upgrade I'm interested too as the 350A has been the cornerstone of my system. While other components have changed in my system, the 350A has remained (although I would like to try one of those Krell KSA150s). | |
| Northstar 192 Transport and DAC - comments Yioryos - the ML was a bit more than the M192, and that fact does not make it "better" than the M192. The M192 should not be discounted as a fine transport.I just felt a little easier picking a transport that has been around for a while, my own ha... |
