| Newbie Needs Help Please let us know which interconnects you're using between the Cary and the Bel Canto.ATB,Joe | |
| MI 330 ics,LOW impedience?MEDIUM impedience? The idea of having impedance-matched interconnects is to get optimum matching between components. The rating of the cable should match the INPUT IMPEDANCE of the DOWNSTREAM component. So, in going from CD to Preamp, only the input impedance of the... | |
| Can anyone help me find blues song from episode of "Many Rivers to Cross" Actually a Reggae song written (I think) by Jimmy Cliff; recorded on "Harder They Come."Excellent version recorded by Linda Ronstadt in the '70s(?)Happy Listening! | |
| PLease help me.... Both FedEx and FedEx Ground will ship to (just about) any address in Canada, UNLESS your address is a PO box. | |
| Mit 2 terminator bi wired need help now. You don't really have a problem. Just stack the reds together and the blacks together. This will still sound better than a single-wired T2 would have. | |
| Ground Loop Problem - Stumped Is any part of the system connected to TV cable? | |
| This sucks Before you trash the system, I suggest you try a set of 'phones with higher impedance. The 650's, some models of Grado, and the top AKGs all have very low input impedance. MAYBE if the output impedance of your headphone jack is a bit high, that wo... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Tall ceiling, large room, high current amps with stiff power supplies. The speakers were designed with MIT cables in mind. See Jonathan Scull's write-up in the Feb 1996 Stereophile, page 41. | |
| Talisman II cartridge by Sumiko If it's what I think it is, the ll should be followed by "B" which means it's the Boron-cantileved model. This was the middle-model, and best bang-for-the-buck in the line. Very popular and highly reviewed around 1985-88. This should beat ANY $500... | |
| Historical look at amps Actually, the leader of that movement was/is Nelson Pass, whose patented STASIS amplifier designs of the 1980s and 1990s were revolutionary in their time. They featured Zero Global Feedback and were available in both Pure Class A, such as the SA-3... | |
| Hum in system when only amp is on This is not an answer to your question, it's just a rule we ALL gotta follow:ALWAYS turn your preamp on (and give it a moment to stabilize) before turning on your amp. ALWAYS turn your amp off before your preamp.Best of luck,Joe | |
| Why dosome high pwr amps fail to drive some spkrs? The problem may not be what you think it is. For example, if your preamp had high output impedance, like 500 ohms, and you were running long interconnect from that to the amp or to the AA's crossover box, that might be the cause. Why?Because the R... | |
| Pass X-250 and Tube Preamp You can increase your odds of success* by keeping the interconnect cable short; 2m or less would be good. The lower the output impedance -- closer to 100 ohm than 500 ohm -- the better your chances are.* avoiding loss of dynamics, truncation of fr... | |
| Best Song or AlbumTitles? In no paricular order:Leftoverture -- KansasAll Hail Marx and Lennon -- Firesign TheaterStop Making Sense -- Talking HeadsTwin Sons of Different Mothers -- Fogelberg and Weisberg | |
| Pass Alep2 MSRP was $6800/pr. IMHO, this was the best sound vs. cost in the Aleph line. I've seen them on A'gon for as low as $2800, but anything below $3400 is still a good deal as long as the pr is in VG or better shape, with OBM.Best of luck,Joe |
