| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? You answered your own question. Speakers will go thru different sonic changes during breakin. They may sound too bright with no bass extension for awhile, then change to booming bass the next day.The manufacturer or dealer can tell you approximate... | |
| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: @jaybe , I did a major upgrade, moving up to an Equi=Core 1800. It's a balanced power unit; bought it used. | |
| Different Tubes and general purpose? Great comments and advice from @tomcy6 . I'm a firm believer that each type of tube and each manufacturer has it's own sonic signature. Typically, you don't need to swap all the tubes from stock to vintage, aka NOS tubes (New Old Stock). There are... | |
| Berlin Philharmonic- Digital Concert Hall - Free ! I signed up for 30 days on my Android using the voucher. But I don't know how to transfer it to my Fire TV using the app. | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps @dwmaggie I own a Brickwall 8 outlet, audio version. Probably 15A.Most likely your 20A makes a difference. | |
| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: I have a PLC Thingee FX2 with X0e add-on, 4 outlet about to go up for sale. I’ve upgraded my power conditioning. | |
| Dedicated 20 amp line Good move springing for the whole house surge protector. I had a subpanel with two 20A lines installed, but that's all my budget allowed. | |
| Has anyone had a laser replaced in a Audio Research CD-3 MKII That's crazy. I owned a CD3 mkII, isn't that the going price for a used deck? There must be a place that has used parts for ARC. | |
| CDP/DAC/NA Player Recommendations That's great news. TBO, I think the Node was defective, either the hardware or a software issue.In the end, I think you made a good choice. | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps +1 @p05129. That's an ideal setup.I must add my 2 cents regarding the Brickwall. I own one and although it claims to be non-current limiting, it reduces the dynamics and soundstaging on my amps. It's great for source components. | |
| CDP/DAC/NA Player Recommendations It sounds like you are overdriving the dac or the amp. At low volume the music sounds fine. When you turn up the volume does it sound harsh and distorted? Are you only using the volume on the Marantz?Can you adjust the gain on the input to the amp... | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps If you can find a power conditioner that doesn't restrict current flow, then go for it. I've found the purest sound from a power amp is running it thru the wall receptacle, provided you have a dedicated line. That's why I suggested a power strip w... | |
| CDP/DAC/NA Player Recommendations I found the node to be too forward sounding And bright (at least with my speakers and amp). It was to a point that I could barely turn up the volume before I’d get a headache. I love how the vocals take the Center stage but along with comes forwa... | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps Oops, my bad. In any event, Wiremold makes a quality strip with and without surge protection. | |
| Surge protector vs wall debate for amps I don't want to risk a surge with my amp into the wall receptacle. We have a lot of blackouts here during the summer so I have my amp plugged into a Wiremold strip (No power strip or conditioner will save your components from a direct lighting st... |
