Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I don't have one, let alone two of them. I would think one of these dealers could do this. I also don't see the risk of "frying" anything by hooking up two line level devices, that reportably have no gain, in series. But, you never know, so whoeve... | |
Ways to Reduce Atmospheric Noise At first glance I thought this post was about cosmic rays and shielding with foil hats, but to my surprise and immediate realization, I have a noisey frige too! So thank you, and I am gonna get some material as well to isolate the darn thing. | |
Music Servers-Why so few? The people at Auraliti might not be able to respond to all questions, but the PK90 is a fantastic device that removes all the settings and guesswork from a computer based setup. I have had mine running since September and I love it. It's a small b... | |
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? I would think that if this device is the "real deal" ie not some signal processor that most people like at first, then get tired of; which I am concluding from all the positive posts that it's not; then if one were to hook two in series the sound ... | |
Help with amplifier choice Hi Al,Yes, I mostly listen to light jazz and vocals. Speakers are 10 feet away and 9 feet apart. I have a lot of hi-res (24-96/192) so I think dynamic range is important. My budget is around 5K. Thanks | |
Help with amplifier choice Just some opinions please. | |
Suggestion for Preamp please ???? Look at the Wyred 4 Sound STP-SE. Used about 1400. I realize that's 100 over, but read the 6 Moons review and you just might find that $100. | |
OPPO BD95 output question Kal is totally correct. The way you want to hook it up, you only need the 93. They are the same unit to that point. I am just adding my 2ยข to re-inforce Kal's comment. | |
Best tube dac available? If your list isn't long enough there is always the Blacknote DAC30. It has a 4 tube Class A output stage along with 4 coaxial and 2 async. USB inputs. I think the damm thing even has a defeatable digital volume with remote. | |
Opinions on Wyred 4 Sound ICE amps OK, please keep us posted. | |
pass labs xa30 to valve amplifier. Well, I wish you lived near Florida. I own the Cary SLI-80 F1 and have been kicking around the idea to try an XA30.5I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. Anyway good luck, I hear OTL tubes sound great, but my speakers are 4 Ohm 92... | |
Amplifier current draw/wattage You can get a watt meter at Home Depot for about $20 that will give you a digital readout. It also reports current drawn, voltage, freq. and other cool stuff. I use mine to very accurately read idle watts being used on various equipment. If you pl... | |
Missing Stereophile Issues??? Why don't you see if there is an on-line issue you can subscribe to? | |
Cary SLI-80 Thoughts? All I can say is that I did the same thing you are doing. I spent a lot of time researching and went with the Cary. In that price range (sig. version) you will be very happy. Also I am running EL34's in triode (about only 25 watts) and it still so... | |
Voltage Level at speaker terminals Interesting thread, but how can you be measuring current if the cartridge is not on the record? |
