| SR Tesla PowerCell or Dedicated Circuits ???? Hi Ozzy - I tried one in my system for a couple of weeks - mine is on order from S/R and should get here soon - I can't wait! | |
| SR Tesla PowerCell or Dedicated Circuits ???? Ozzy - I have 3 dedicated 20A circuits myself - one for the monoblock amps, one for the two subs and one for the front end. When I used the PowerCell (believe it or not), the system sounded best when everything was plugged into one circuit thru th... | |
| Subwoofer & pre amp Semi- my advice would be to NOT use a Y cable of any kind. Many 2 channel preamps will exhibit crosstalk when the output is put into this sort of condition. Even tho the F113 is a very good sub, my advice would be to sell it and go back to REL. BT... | |
| Long IC Cable Run The ideal solution for this application is the Photon AMP cable from Harmonic Technology (formerly Cyberlight). This presents a load to the pre of about 12" of interconnect and since the audio signal is converted to light and back to audio, there ... | |
| Power Cords for Cary Fpeel - you should try a Nirvana Audio PC+ power cord on the cd player. This is one of the biggest sonic improvements you can make to this player. I have no idea what to tell you to try on the integrated, however - sorry. | |
| Acoustic Zen Matrix and Nirvana SX interconnect Hello Andr - your best bet is to email both manufacturers and ask the question directly rather than in this forum. I am sure that IF they have measured that particular parameter for their cables, they will be happy to let you know. You should ask ... | |
| Power Cable DIY - need advice Mr bill - I would add that the Nanotec Golden Strada #302 has been an excellent choice for DIY power cords and is well within your budget. | |
| My cartridge has more distortion Hi Blue - your cartridge should be fine unless you play lp's every day for hours at a time. Something has changed in the setup ( maybe a loose tonearm weight??) that is giving you this poor sound. Start from scratch and remount the cartridge like ... | |
| RB 300 wire- Ingognito or Cardas and why? Talk to Mike at Brit Audio (www.britaudio.com) - he is the tonearm wiring guru that I send all of this type of question to and he does superior work if you are having him do the job. He will steer you in the right directin for the best sound. | |
| Non-current limiting power conditioners Hi Nissan- take a look at the Furutech E-TP80. This is an exceptionally good 8 outlet power conditioner that does not limit current, is well made and is very reasonable in price ($500.00 new). You should be able to try this at home from someone li... | |
| Battery Powered Preamps For anyone attending the RMAF this weekend, be sure to have a listen to the Veloce Audio LS1 battery powered TUBE linestage. Those that have had the opportunity to do so already have been stunned by the performance of this completely new design. A... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena I have heard the Ref 3A Grand Veena speakers with tubes (Art Audio Jota and BAT VK75SE ) and solidstate (Bat Vk250, T+A) and they are absolutely one of the best sonic bargains in all of audio. VERY refined, big soundstage, great imaging, able to d... | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic vs Precision Refere? I second the choice for the Tesla cables - I tried A/R and P/R in my system and while that was indeed wonderful, I foolishly borrowed a pair of Apex for the source and was so astonished at the performance, I just had to figure out a way to get the... | |
| DIY cable elevators Wow - there are certainly some creative people involved in this thread. If you want some EASY homemade cable risers, just use empty cd cases opened at 45 degrees and placed sideways under your cables. I even went so far as to try this compared to ... | |
| amp colume control Hi Panu - the problem is that your source has a gain that is too high to allow you to have fine control of your volume. The easiest solution is to get a pair of in-line RCA attenuators ( assuming your cd player does not have a volume control). Rot... |
