| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS Brother's In Arms was the first CD I ever bought back in the 80's. It's funny, the album won some award for recording, the second CD I bought was Momentary Lapse of Reason, also won some award. I was listening to it last night and comparing the 20... | |
| Chasing distortion My rig can only handle up to KT 120's (4 per each monoblock), That would be neat if I could go to a 150...anyway, how's your voltage? My voltage is all over the place since we live across the river from a nuclear power plant...some times of the da... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Perkri, my system had one amp plugged into an outlet with the pre-amp and the other amp across the room into another outlet. The amp that was across the room was making the 60 Hz cycle sound, pretty loud at pauses between songs. I disconnected fr... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range Lloyd, been looking at the PH-16 kit, but waiting on figuring out what turntable I'm going to get. Already have a pair of the M-125 monoblocks I built and the SP-14 Preamp. Very happy now that I solved a ground loop issue. Been fun building my own... | |
| Sonus Faber Electa Amator III vs. the Bowers and Wilkins 805 D4? I love the B&W sound, very accurate with tons of color. I think speakers are the most personal selection of all equipment. | |
| Best Audiophile/Music T-Shirts Court of the Crimson King, without a doubt. Also the Rush Star Man is in the running. | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? tlcocks, I agree, but the $6k is a bit steep for my system and my ears are getting older. I'm saving the money to build a dedicated room for now, no parallel walls or ceiling...acoustic treatments. Maybe when I have that project done I will re-vi... | |
| Does Every Track Sound Great on Your System? I have the Loki Max, because someone mentioned it on this forum. I agree, it has three presets, plus a bypass. It helps take the edge off some recordings while opening up the imaging. I concur, get one if you don't have one. The age of the equaliz... | |
| Can a power amp have too much power, risking damage to a speaker? I have a pair of B&W speakers that have a recommended power of 50 to 300 watts. I'm driving the pair with a 120 watt tube monoblock amp attached to each. Other than having to chase down a ground loop issue (which I solved the other night), thi... | |
| The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you? Carver MXR 130 with a JVC tape deck, JVC Linear Tracking Turntable, Nakamichi CD, ADC EQ and Cerwin Vega Speakers. Beast of a college system. | |

| Best Receiver? I agree with the Carver statement above. I've had one since High School, only been serviced twice, knobs are missing, used to run my Fraternity parties...been through hell, but still is kicking, runs cool, low noise and great power. I have the 5 c... | |
| What to do with my legacy CD collection? I just went through this, gave them to my kids. They were very thankful. |
