| Hana Umami Red review I received my brand new Umami Red this weekend. It came in a simple light colored wood box with a selection of different length mounting screws and a decent stylus brush. The red finish is spectacular. The cantilever is Boron and looks thinner an... | |
| Unbalanced to Balanced Converter Circuit with 0dB Gain @cleeds Both the EQ and the Fosi P4 could be used in series in the tape loop. I would have done that, but the dBx EQ I have is BAL in and out, no other options. To put the EQ and P4 in series does not make much sense to me as it requires convers... | |
| Unbalanced to Balanced Converter Circuit with 0dB Gain @cleeds OK, Inputs to SP-6B include two phono cartridges (both SE) and Marantz SACD 30n (SE). NO streaming. Each cartridge inputs to an individual SE SUT. Each SUT output (SE) goes to a switchbox (SE all the way). Cartridge is selected and ou... | |
| Help Picking a Reel to Reel Deck @brettmcee Check out the Technics RS 1500. I've used this one and a Revox B77. Both are excellent. I found the Technics easier to use and to keep maintained. | |
| Unbalanced to Balanced Converter Circuit with 0dB Gain Great! It is a nice project. | |
| Max USB Drive Capacity for the Marantz 30n, SA-10 and SA-KI Ruby Well, I went and got one. Found it very easy to attach a 2TB USB SSD drive and playback music. Heos sw. I use a Bryston BDP-3 as music server for even more storage (Manic Moose software). Manic Moose and Heos both use the local network for comma... | |
| Max USB Drive Capacity for the Marantz 30n, SA-10 and SA-KI Ruby Hmmmm, no responses. Maybe everybody uses a NAS for a large music library. | |
| Advicd Needed on Change from Levinson to Audio Research Five months later. I have finally have my system sorted. The SP-6B refurb came back. The phono section sounds unbelievably good. Very punchy when needed, very dynamic and rich sounding. Definitely a keeper. I have listened with these power amps:... | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions I received power cords but they were not the black 12 AWG as advertized. What I received was grey and 14 AWG. Back it went. Crummy Amazon listing. Still searching. | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions I found a 12 gauge, 20A, 10ft long hospital grade UL listed power cord on Amazon that will fit the ApolIon socket. I bought two at $50 each. I'll get 'em in a week. | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions I dug a bit deeper into 12 ga UL approved power cords. Seems Amazon has some from vendors who claim UL listing. Must dig even deeper to see if this is a claim or reality. | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions @devinplombier Thanks for the method you provided. The amp did not come with a manual. Apollon directed me to a pdf on their website. That owners manual is not for my model. No mention of power cords nor fuses. No power rating on the back exec... | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions @devinplombier Very good point. The back of the amp has the CE symbol just below the power entry. I looked CE up. It appears that CE stamp indicates that the product meets CE approval which indicates the following: "CE approval, or Conformité E... | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions @curiousjim Thankks for showing me that. Now I have an additional reason for refusing to buy non-approved power cables. I need about 2m. This cable at that length would cost over $200. I am never going to pay that for a power cable.. I didn't ... | |
| Apollon Hypex NCx500 ST NCOREx Stereo Amp - First Listen and Impressions @devinplombier Thanks for the link. There are a bunch of these on Amazon. I did not see a UL or any other testing agency approval for any of these. I am wary of power cords that don't have any independent testing. I make my own line level RCA an... |
