| looking for PS Audio Power Plant Premier to demo / purchase in Seattle area Hello Brown - If you think that you have DC issues, then you are barking up the wrong tree. The only product that I know that handles that consistently is the Iso-Tek Evo 3 Synchro power cord. ALL PS Audio re-generators pass ground, so they woul... | |
| Does anybody use hi-end fuses in BAT ss amp or Einstein preamp? Hi Michel - I have a pair of BAT VK200 which BAT converted to mono blocks. I replaced the internal ("rail") fuses with HiFi Tuning Supreme fuses to very good effect. The external fuse, which I also upgraded did not have nearly as much of an impr... | |
| Question for Amp Designers Hold on a sec- didn't I read an article a while back about all amplifiers with the same rated power and THD sound EXACTLY the same as PROVEN by double blind listening tests? (My tongue is firmly in cheek) . Have a Happy Holiday! | |
| active room nuetralizer??? I use the Bybee Room Neutralizers (non-powered) in my room- a set of 8 does the job nicely. The DO make the room boundaries disappear sonically, but are not going to fix nulls, peaks, and other issues. These need to be addressed first and then w... | |
| Audioquest/SME 10 DIN cable issues on the Wild model I would replace the end with one of the Cardas DIN connectors that allow you to rotate the top 90 degrees if necessary for other than SME use. Milling down the housing is a distant second choice. Good Luck! | |
| Audioquest/SME 10 DIN cable issues on the Wild model Hello Tommy - Audioquest does not offer phono cables with DIN connectors - they use a JIS connector which is the Japanese version of a DIN (which is German). The JIS pin configuration is the same, but the outer shell of the JIS is larger than a D... | |
| Seeking Suggestions on Preamp Upgrade (CJ, Aesthetix, EAR) David - there is a VAC Ren Signature on the A-Gon listing right now that would be perfect with your PASS and fit your budget easily as well. Do NOT hesitate as this is a great pre at at great price (no affiliation, just a very happy VAC owner) | |
| Vinyl and subwoofers just a quick thought here. Not being familiar with ARC phono stages, I am wondering IF the phono stage is inverting phase, which might account for the subwoofer's odd performance when playing vinyl vs the same sub working fine when playing other ... | |
| Cardas Neutral reference IC Verses Analyisis plus Solo Crystal oval IC I see no one is willing to chime in here, so I will help. Cards Neutral Reference is a fairly balanced cable that has a bit of warmth in the midst and good harmonics throughout. The A+ Solo Crystal cables behave almost similarly to silver cables... | |
| Clamp or Weight Suggestions for a MMF9.1 HI Ryan - I used to have the same table and found that the Herbies Audio "Way Excellent" turntable mat was a huge upgrade in sound. I also used and can recommend the HRS Analog Disk (record weight) as working well with this table to further enhan... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? Let me join in here with my experience of the Audio Desk. I have had a machine for a little over 4 years and have cleaned more than 1500 lp's. It is a very complex machine which makes it simple/great for the user but it does mean there are lots o... | |
| Tonearm Rewiring Vendor Recommendation Hi JB - I would contact Michael Wharton at Brit Audio (www.britaudio.com) for the job. He does exceptional work and is very reasonable. | |
| Two Shelf Amp Stand? I have a 2 shelf Sistrum rack for my BAT mono amps and it works nicely and didn't cost an arm and a leg. Adjustable height is a plus as well. | |
| HELP WITH A PREAMP DECISION It is really doubtful that you could EVER find a preamp that is better than the Veloce, It might be tie to replace the tubes OR it might be time to replace the batteries ( which can also make it sound a bit hard), but I certainly would not change ... | |
| Spdif cable construction. HI Kev - I am at a loss to try and understand how re-clocking data in any way offsets the digital reflections that occur when the SPDIF cable is too short. It might be "Advisable" to talk audio with people that actually know audio. |
