EMMS Labs CDSA vs. AA Capitole Reference SE Zenieth - have you listened to the EMM product yet and compared it to your Audio Aero Capitole Reference SE? If so I'd be interested in reading about your impressions.When I spoke with the North American importer, he said that one of his dealers s... | |
Using CD player without Preamp? Tduffy1,I'm in the same situation you are - driving an amp directly from a CD player. In my experience only, I have compared the CD->AMP Vs CD->PRE->AMP combinations within my system using an Audio Aero Capitole MKII SE CD player, First S... | |

Great sounding close to back wall speakers. Have you checking into the Allison speakers which are designed go into corners and against a wall literally. One of their models was reviewed in TAS last year I believe. | |

SET amp so line-level connections from my preamp are a must - something I ... | |

fab audio model one vs. coincident total victories Gmilan - you need to contact Gliderguider as he owns both models! He'll give you the straight goods. By the way I own the FAB Audio Model 1 speakers and think very highly of them - very natural and brutally transparent of all upstream components. ... | |

What does EMI or RFI sound like? Lak - yes the Equi-Tech 2Q unit is a 20amp circuit but it is fine if plugged into a 15amp circuit providing you don't try and put a 20amp load on the 15amp circuit it's connected to. . . so far so good.Any other ideas on what Electro Magnetic Inte... | |
What does EMI or RFI sound like? Lak - my Equi-Tech unit (which everything is plugged into) in on a dedicated 15A circuit.Musicslug - that's what I thought but wasn't sure. Keeping short interconnect lengths probably helps prevent it.Any other people's thoughts? | |
