| Why none of high-end speakers offer Speakon? Bryston is the brand often used in ther recording studios for monitorring amplification and recording demos.2...4000 WPC isn't necessary in studios at all. Among the pro power monsters I would say that lower-powered Crown XLS series are descent pe... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy Don't know too much about Naim, but is it possible to use Naim with non-Naim? | |
| Tube Voltage Rating Question Filament touches cathode and the tube is short and ready to show some fireworks with fried PCB, wires, caps. | |
| Using old speaker cables for an IC Also RCA recepticles could be converted to speaker binding posts. You also need to be creative to find proper RCA plug that would fit certain gauge of wire. | |
| Accuphase DP67 + DAC Tooo much money to spend to upgrade DP67. You can get separate DAC for PC though. | |
| Audible Illusions hiss Since you're hearing the same noise level(I assume) in both channels, it might be the time to replace DC caps. How old is the unit? | |
| Power standby effects on amp's aging and sound Class D amps or Tripath usually stand-by at no more than 20W. | |
| IC Failure If it's a failure in the expencive cable than why they charge so much for home-brew stuff? I'd simply request a full refund and not penny less. I've compared the termination quality of Siltech interconnect to Mogamy and Mogamy wins 'by unanimous ... | |

| Amphion Helium 520 I don't know too much about ones you've listed, but definitely recommended Krell KAVs are excellent integrated amps that are step up from NAD C375BEE. | |
| IC Failure WOW DMM MUST read short if there's no damage to IC. If IC isn't operation it should be OPEN circuit i.e. infinite resistance. | |
| Amphion Helium 520 I'd pick Krell KAV300i or KAV400i. Both are excellent integrated onces within your budget. | |
| Benefits of brand synergy In general, who cares... Yes and No.In particular if you like the sound of a specific brand why not. | |
| IC Failure Yep you need to open and see the termination. These expensive pieces are often home made and the termination may suffer either lack of skill or equipment quality limitation for home use.Open/Unscrew the RCA plugs of the malfunctioning interconnect... |
