| New Rega P10 setup I guess I wont be setting up a Rega P10 this weekend, they sent me a Planar 3 by mistake. Oh well. 🙄  | |
| New Rega P10 setup Thanks @chayro, I may have to keep the shelf, although I am trying to minmize things. And thanks @tablejockey and @ojc. I agree, my first inclination was to in fact purchase the P10 with the Apheta 3 cartridge. The ease of set up, as well as syn... | |
| New Rega P10 setup tablejockey I'm sure the Apheta is a great cart, but even with the discount when purchasing with the P10, the package is $8k. I purchased an open box, no cart for $2,500.00 less because that's what I can afford right now. I have no problem add... | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 So, if in fact, XLR cables all seem to be the same. Where would they fall into range of single ended cables? Are they over all better, average, worse than unbalanced? Â | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 williewonka, thank you for the info, that is interesting about separating the + and - conductors of my speaker wires. I was using 26' bi-wire Morrow speaker cables, and now changed over the XLRs for the longer run. I have cut the pair of speaker c... | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 Thanks for the info guys, and Happy New Year ! | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 Thank you for your advice Geof and Mitch, I always thought of keeping the interconnects as short as possible because they were more critical to the sound of the overall system, rather than speaker cables. Is it because I would be using balanced ca... | |
| More watts or better power ? Â Â Â Thanks for all the input people, this entire thread was prompted by an email from PS Audio. Because I have been a customer in the past, they were offering a nice discount on some of their products. I was looking at taking advantage of this, bu... | |
| More watts or better power ? Thanks Speakermaster, I'm not having issues at higher volumes, I can play it as loud as I can stand for a short time and still have no loss. | |
| More watts or better power ? Bigkidz, you don't like the Yiggi ? :) I have not done enough research on DACs to make the upgrade. Maybe over the winter I'll start. At this point I don't know what makes a good DAC, a good DAC. I know you can by a thumb drive DAC for $69 and th... | |
| More watts or better power ? Jonto, thanks more good readingLowrider, thanks I have the unbalanced out to the amp, and then the balanced out to the sub. | |
| More watts or better power ? Thanks Ghosthouse, looks like a good read | |
| More watts or better power ? Thanks Oldhvymech, I posted a picture above. I can't run the cables in front of the doorway. But I do agree, maybe spend the money and get 25' of better quality speaker cable. | |
| More watts or better power ? https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipMrkGumpa2q7ASwUsVyri9wAEshcoOYyv2_9liwOk, so the shirts over the components is my wife covering the blinking lights at night.... not a total slob. | |
| More watts or better power ? Russ, I agree and that was my initial thought process. Does it make sense to go with more watts, having a system that sounds good now. Could I really take it to the next level with a bigger amp? Based on comments here, and my own thoughts, probabl... |
