| Speaker Cables, One side longer- bad idea? If you have a stereo amplifier where each channel has a common ground, than you most likely will increase an inter-channel noise and distortions since different length cables have different resistance, capacity and inductance. Stereo amplifier has... | |
| Do I really need a pre-amp? ...i want to finish what Doug did not...and the surprize can be a blown speaker(s)! | |
| Preamps - Active, passive...??? ...Dr joe made a good point for passive preamp lovers:It is true that you can compromise at high volumes in details and dynamics. Depending on your speakers, it can be any part of sound bandwidth especially bass.Since I do not turn on high volumes... | |
| Cheap Tweak..Mass Loading I run my VTL tube monos 24hrs/day on weekend and 25kg load of lead shots would block the heat dissipation from transformer and tubes as well.BTW Do I need to mass load my 50lb Monarchy DT40b CD-transport?AR PH3 phono that I currently posess "likes... | |
| Advise for speaker cable upgrade please I'll place a second vote for Analysis + Oval 9 since I've seen these cables on very costly setups such as Tannoy Churchill driven by a pair of BAT VK60 in mono configuration. It isn't necessary to have a biwire setup in your case. In most cases, s... | |

| Sonical differences ...hmmm maybe I should consider placing a few of my components in the kitchen that is bihind the wall from living(listening) room(mono-amps maybe since they need more isolation because of powerful output transformers) and I'll be only with the tra... | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? ...the price of the system grows from the time you've started such hobby(~$2000 "downpayment")not as fast as it seems and you do not have to be Wall-Street-like guy in audio.The funny thing is that when you upgrade your setup every year or two, au... | |
| Preamps - Active, passive...??? learn a specification of your source components and power amplifier in terms of output voltage and input sensitivity/impedance first.Some of the Cary amps as an example, have an input sensitivity of 9v, and there is no source component that I do k... | |
| Best preamp to use with electrostatic speakers... Mark Levinson 336 is already a good investment for ML Prodigy and preamp in this case has to be matched between source components and power amplifier i.e. in some cases passive preamp would not be appropriate. |
