| Twisting Anti-Cables Thorman- Not so worried about actually doing it, as i am getting the right amount of twists in (within the quoted range). Could NEVER get the other half to hold wires while I twisted them. I have a vise and it doesn't complain. ;-) I will say, how... | |
| Anti-Cables and magnet wire Honest1 -- yes I know. ETP (electrolytic tough pitch ) Copper, which is standard grade used in magnet wire, is usually specified as being >99.95% Cu. The O2 is usually between 200 and 500ppm, with metallic impurities in the range of 50ppm. | |
| Anti-Cables and magnet wire "Continuously Cast" is actually pretty common, and I think (but don't know for sure) that nearly all copper these days is continuously cast for reasons of productivity, efficiency, etc.Most of the generic magnet wire available has 200-400 ppm of o... | |
| Real "Bookshelf" speaker 4 bookshelf or wall-mount Does putting "bookshelf" speakers actually on a bookshelf necessarily kill everything a high quality speaker has to offer, or is that only true for bookshelf speakers that arn't really designed for bookshelf or next to the wall applications? It se... | |
| Can a passive pre-amp feed a powered sub? The output pre-amp is controlled by its volume knob. It feeds the crossover of the subwoofer which splits the signal and send the low pass signal to the subwoofer amp, and the high pass signal to the amp for the satellites. It works fine, and is a... | |
| Can a passive pre-amp feed a powered sub? Thanks for the responses. The source is the latest Camelot Arthur v3.0 mk3 DAC. (which I assume has an output of 2V, but am unsure since it surprisingly is not listed anywhere in the manual) I don't really meed 2 sets of outputs since the amp for ... | |
| Budget pre-amp for computer/office system As I said, I had a Adcom GFP-565 preamp and I was disappointed in the sound. Truly mediocre. Switching to other pre-amps revealed alot of detail that I was missing, and really opened up the soundstage. I see no reason to go back to something that ... | |
| Power amp upgrades for Mirage, M3si speakers The advice for you to consider the EAD powermaster was pretty good. I have a pair of M-3si's that I bi-amp with a Powermaster 1000 (5x200 watts). It sounds great. I also have the bass below 65Hz crossed-over to a pair of Mirage BPSS-210 subwoofers... | |
| Tube Rolling in a SF Line 3 Many thanks. Just what I needed to know. | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Hmmm. All those jitter figures sound high, except for the Audio Alchemy player at 17 ps. Are these just being measured differently?My trusty EAD T-7000 transport produces less than 10 ps of jitter. I don't know enough about how jitter is measured ... | |
| good CD player with variable output? I guess when I meant "high-value", I meant more along the lines of "value for money", or "bang for the buck" Can't see myself putting $6k or more for an Audio Aero Capitole for the garage!How about something under $1k new or used? | |
| Which high end DVD-A would you recommend. Mig007 siad, "The beset dvd-audio player to buy is the Pioneer D-47 and have it modified by Modwright". How does this modified player do as an SACD player? Once modified, is it comparable to the Sony XA777ES? Better? | |
| Subwoofer upgrade? If you're not willing to put your sub off the floor by 6 inches, regardless of the direction in which the sub fires, you should put the sub up on cones or spikes. This will certainly help some of the boominess you have. Another cause of your boomi... | |
| Sonic Frontiers SFD-2 MKIII I've been wondering about the unit as well. I've hav eheard that it is superior in many ways to the SFD-2 MkII. I currently have an SFD-2 MkII and have been considering an upgrade. I've recently compared my SFD-2 MkII to a new Camelot Arthur 24/19... | |
| Problem with EAD Powermaster PM1000 My Powermaster 1000 was perfect out of the box. Sounds great too. I have owned 4 EAD products overthe years (the PM1000 being the most recent) and have never had a problem with any of them. |
