How to isolated stand from springy floors? What Theo mentions about supplementary posts is a good call if possible, because it's likely the most effective. Bridging will help as an alternative, but along similar lines would be to sister additional joists on either side of the joists where ... | |
Magnepan DWM problem A good subwoofer solution is a Vandersteen 2Wq which uses a crossover between your pre-amp and power amp. This rolls off the bass starting at 80Hz, and the sub has a complementary response curve. With three 8" drivers in a slot loaded configuratio... | |
Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire? Looks like Mouser sells 100' spools of 89259.http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Belden-Wire-Cable/89259-010100/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMu2Wyq3DnRvIqb%2fFqsnKLDdAnixter will quote by the foot, but imagine you need to order at least 25 to 30 feet.https://www.... | |
Left channel drops out on NAD DAC toslink Is the DAC a plug-in module? If so, can you physically remove and re-seat the unit? Maybe just a connection issue from shipping. | |
Source for Belden 9497 speaker wire? Try Anixter--i have had success buying less than full spools (remnants) from them. Here's a link:https://www.anixter.com/north-america/us/en/search-results.html?searchTerms=9497 | |
Audiophile newbie I will offer a few first hand suggestions on bang for buck brands that are reasonably available due to broad distribution ( and therefore likely to find a place to audition):Speakers--Vandersteen, B&WComponents--Rotel, NADAlthough I have other... | |
Need help RCA Interconnects but new Balanced Gear I use Mogami 25' balanced cabled between my BAT VK-3i pre- and VK-60 power amp with stellar results. | |
Taking the music outside... Perhaps this? | |
Boarding school or duct tape? Pushed in tweeters, two broken cantilevers. Twin boys. Need I say more? But they're growing up to be great boys that truly appreciate all kinds of music, and now understand the delicacy of dad's gear. Just part of raising inquisitive boys in a hou... | |
dedicated line follow up I think you are better off with your single 20A line. Less likely to introduce ground loop hum if I am not mistaken. Your draw is not that heavy either. | |
What time do you wear? A basic Seiko dial watch I bought with my first ever bonus check in 1987. But if I could, I'd wear a Rouchefoucauld. The thinnest water-resistant watch in the world. Singularly unique, sculptured in design, hand-crafted in Switzerland, and water r... | |
Compatibility of equipment when adding a dac? And I also believe that the Marantz only outputs PCM in its digital out. This means it should be compatible with any DAC, just not DSD. I am not familiar with this DAC, but assume it's standard in terms of capability. | |
Sadly missed manufacturers Worked at a TV & Stereo store in the late 70s and have some fond memories of these brands. They were kind of mainstream vs. audiophile brands but sure were fun to play with after the boss went home in the evenings:Sansui (old guys will remembe... | |
Five channel amp setup help - Parasound A51 Definitely get rid of the volume controls. In addition to adding circuitry, they may be rated for lower power (most are). They may or may not be impedance matching which again alters the signal. I don't think you have any worries with the wiring i... | |
Charge for TT setup? The very fact you are questioning this says it all--clearly you're not delighted by the prospect, and you shouldn't be! Were I a retailer, I'd be thrilled to have this dealer as my competition. Their lack of common sense is stark--they will jeopar... |
