| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. colin, assuming there is a common ground, in theory there should be no grounding issues using RCA cables. But not all components use the same grounding scheme, so there may be a difference in ground potential which cause ground faults. Also some R... | |
| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. I'm not an electrician, but I have two ground rods installed to my house. There is an earth ground attached to your service panel (circuit box) which is the ground for all circuits in your house. If you have a dedicated AC line, it is also gro... | |
| My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help. As soon as the Synchrony line was discontinued their value plummeted. Introduction of the Imagine T series killed their resale prices. Agree that $3500 is too high. | |
| Am I missing something here? It may be the amp and speaker combo you've listened to aren't a good match. Thin sound, lack of bass sounds like the amp is not able to drive the speakers to their potential, or they lack synergy.Take into account the sensitivity and impedance cur... | |

| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I have the Toscanini LvB box set 1951,52 on CD. Very good remasters. What I should have said was the quality of the live 1940s NBC is tough to stay with.I have Karajan's 1957 BPO Bruckner, which is slow and thoughtful and wonderful...would like to... | |
| Classical Recordings from the Golden Age I really like the lineup of Volume 2 but I'll wait for a better price...$40 for a worn Good Will copy, no thanks. It's good to see many performances being released on orchestra record labels. The few I've heard are good quality.I think I'll go for... | |
| Clean Power without the drawbacks of Conditioning Filtering. Advice? @atmasphere, that sounds like the ideal situation. And I'll bet you run balanced electronics, so low-noise and no grounding issues. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? With the best mono’s, the sound is expansive and fills the space between the speakers completely. Granted, there’s nothing outside the speakers, but there’s a certain "rightness" or "correctness" garnered from mono recordings that’s really hard to... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? There are no tricks involved with acoustic instruments when proper mic placement is used. I'm referring to all forms of classical and small jazz combos, even when the combo includes an electric guitar. A revealing system should reproduce a 3D imag... | |
| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition Yeah, that’s the same manual that I used. Bridging and bi-amping them is the way to go. I used one amp rated at 300wpc, 600w into my 4 ohm speakers... sounded terrific in my 12’ x 16’ room. Non-fatiguing, wide and deep 3D soundstaging, and a power... | |

| Sunfire Standard or Signature Edition They both look like Standard 300-2 models, 5amp fuse and captive power cord. I’ll check my archives. |
