| Any opinions on John McLaughlins last album? Oh boy, JM was totally there since probably at least 6 years ago | |
| Widening Soundstage Use headphones. | |
| Clearaudio Emotion lacks dynamics What is the load impedance on your phono section? | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? Tubes reach the point of normal operation faster than semiconductors thus require shorter time to worm up (for the small signal tubes near 2min. Why bother to keep them on?? | |
| Pro's/Con's Of audiophile TT As almost everybody mentioned the autolift will be the only advantage in Kenwood vs. VPI or similar TTs. | |
| Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps? duh... | |
| Set up problem? don't forget your lawyer's business card to wave just in case:-) | |
| Does preamp w/Power Supply need a good Power Cord? Obviously after spending a kilobuck you'd better hear some differences and besides, good contribution to help out with today's crisis situation as well. | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Not important on power cords and speaker cables. Important in IC's if the system components have poor design. Another words it's mostly component's fault to pick up RFI. | |
| How is the power range determined? For the full range speaker forget about sensitivity at all since it's being only measured @1000hz. Other frequency ranges will have certainly different parameters. The only thing to look for is the minimal power rating where more-likely your amp w... | |
| Why can't my 32" Sony LCD show component out? In this set up you can only play originally recorded HDDVDs but older formats you'll need to upsample. You'll need to buy an upsampling DVD player which is about $50 worth | |
| Diminished sound in left channel Looks like some of the output transistors get overheat and having collector voltage emergency cut-off. Your JM Lab speakers could be the primary culprit (too heavy to drive) your amp having an output transistor problem another words check with the... | |
| Why does Cary Audio keep discontinuing good amps? people become smarter as they run out of money. | |
| RFI in tube system I'd look into replacing preamp tubes. | |
| Nakamichi PA-7 Hum With time the internal power supply of the amp may become noisy due to the lack of DC filtering. If this is the case you'll need to inspect PCB for the loose soldering joints and replace power supply electrolytic capacitors. |
