| Upgraded power cables- Who's on First? I think because they demand the most power, that the amps should get the best power cords.But then I also feel that the end(speakers)of the system is where I would start to place my priorities and work backwards.Linn be damned.The best case is the... | |
| Did anyone experience Audio Prism's Ground Control I would like to know if anyone has tried to DIY? Would running a wire from the neg speaker terminal to an electrical ground elsewhere have any detrimental effect? | |
| Amp Power Conditioner or not? Way back quite a few years ago I had a Sunfire true subwoofer that added more than just extra bass.When I unplugged it from the wall and out of the system, the music was much easier to listen to and it seemed as if there was less distortion to the... | |
| Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D I use the Ice powered Red Dragon Leviathans on a pair of old Tannoy Ardens, Merlin TSM, and now on a pair of Ref3A Grand Veenas.Great sound on all three speakers,try the Wyred 4 sound, I know all D amps don't sound the same,I didn't like the origi... | |
| really? .89c ground lifters? Never had a grounding issue, and I have expensive power cords and power conditioning,but I also have dedicated lines.I know of no one with a good system using ground lifters , cryod, solid gold or stock at 89 cents.A last resort but just a band ai... | |
| When is used used up? Depends on the gear.I have a 1961 Bell tubed integrated amplifier with the original RCA 6v6 and Telefunken tubes.I have owned it for almost 5 years, and don't play it much, but I've never had a problem.As far as how many owners and how much use it... | |
| Reference 3A The Carissa amp from Art Audio also works very well with the GV.No lack of power or any sense of strain from this 20 watt SET amp.Some vintage Macs are in the works. | |
| Reference 3A Tried the Mac 275, very nice,robust sound, a different take than the Red Dragon amps,the ideal amp would have the best aspects of both.The Red Dragon amps seem to have more speed and keep it together when the music gets complex, but the Mac has it... | |
| Best of XLR cable? I have found some very inexpensive XLR cables that have been quite revealing, bettering my current cables at one tenth of the cost!I will be auditioning some more expensive balanced cables in the near future to compare to the cheapest set of wires... | |
| Low-cost I/C's Is it just my system or have others found that when you run balanced cables to your amp(short or long) balanced cables don't seem to have as much sonic signature as regular RCA type inter connects? | |
| Reference 3A I use a pair of Red Dragon Leviathan monos and the sound is fine to my ears, but I am going to investigate what a Mac 275 will bring to the party.If there is an improvement I will make the change.I am satisfied with my present amps, but all the hy... | |
| All time favorite speaker cables I just went thru a whole speaker cable experience that included 10 guage Romex, Canare Quad,Clear Day solid silver,Harmonic Pro 9,Blue Circle,Cardas Golden Cross and Golden Hex 5c.All wires had their high and low points,no real stinkers however in... | |
| HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help What I meant by cleaning up the power from the panel is that the single best thing to do is use a dedicated line to your gear using a 20 or 30 amp breaker and 10 guage wiring.Everything after that is icing on the cake.I am intrigued with the refer... | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 I had stacked 57's and drove them with the 30 watt Atmasphere,and the MP3 pre amp.Great sound, I regret moving on, should have had the speakers upgraded.I also used a 1961 Bell tubed(6V6)15 watt integrated that was very close to the Atmasphere's,h... | |
| HiFi tuning fuses, some benefits help I concur Rodman,as one who has cleaned up the power from the panel to the gear,the more you do the better it gets.Why spoil it for the sake of saving a few dollars? |
