| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: I use a Furman power strip that does not restrict dynamics. To my ears it is transparent and does not affect sonics in any way. | |
| Pass Labs Int Amp: Volume Control Step I notice for the volume control, per step change is 1dB. My concern of 1dB step is at +1dB it is too loud but at -1dB it is too soft.By the time the sound waves travel thru your room to your listening position, you will be hearing less than 1dB g... | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop @garebear, The Cardas Clear were excellent, but beyond my budget, so I compared Clear Light to Purist Aqueous Aureus - Luminist (4 meter, $2200).I auditioned ICs and speaker cables; I liked the smooth highs of the Purist. | |
| Cardas Clear Speaker Cables - From cable skeptic to beliver in one fell swoop I’ve auditioned Cardas IC’s and speaker cables thru the Cable Company.My findings were that the Clear line of cables were vastly superior to the old Cross cables. The earlier Cardas have a warm sonic signature with rolled-off highs. The Clear and ... | |
| "Shouty" treble with hi res files As mentioned, it might be your DAC. But it could be the USB cable you’re using. A USB connection from computer to DAC can often cause undesired noise and jitter.What brand and length of cable are you using?A S/PDIF reclocking device might help red... | |
| Burn in cd or cable cooker It’s not the same. The amount of voltage from your CDP, preamp, amp is much lower than a cable cooker.A cable cooker can generate a continuous high-current thru the cables.Some good info...http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0404/audio... | |
| Jaw Dropping Agree. He's not the only one, but that's beyond the pale. | |
| Jaw Dropping Hopefully it's a real promo copy from 1987 and not a bootleg or re-release.This is interesting...http://the-black-album.info/fakes.html | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? When you have extra power it fills out the sound with more authority with more powerful bass.True, ebm, but you're using a Pass amp with high power (watts), and also high current. An excellent design.There are many amps which can produce a high am... | |
| Power Cables @bacardi, Very interesting; the Equi=Core 50, 150, and 300 models are rated in watts. I assume this relates to the transformer box.How do you choose a cable for low-current components based on watts? | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? I should add that since your speaker's impedance goes as low as 3 to 4 ohms, an amp that doubles it's power rating would provide you with high current. For example, an amp rated at 100 wpc/8 ohms, 200 wpc/4 ohms.The plus side of your KEF's is the ... | |
| WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS? Going from 100 wpc to an amp with 150 to 200 wpc/8 ohms is not a significant increase in power. In terms of SPL, with 200w you would gain 3dB. A high current amp with 80 or 100 wpc would be a better performer than simply going for higher wattage. ... | |
| Speaker recommendations I thought I might upgrade from my Triangle Altea speakers. I was offered a pair of Canton Ergo 900 DC speakers at a very reasonable price but I won’t be able to listen to them first. They loon attractive. Anyone have opinions about them.Don’t rush... | |
| Has there been any inexpensive item that enhanced your system's sound? The Pangea is a good one, and now the SE series starts at $50 and is a major upgrade in performance.The tweak that transformed my system is the Synergistic Reseearch Red fuse. I haven't tried the Black fuse yet since I'm so pleased with the curren... | |
| I have an uber awesome amp, why buy a speaker with a built in woofer sub-woofer amp The built-in sub amp only has to power the low-end frequencies, and is voiced for that specific speaker. It doesn't have to perform across the entire frequency spectrum as your power amp does. As a result, your amp now has less of a load to drive.... |
