Bryon,I think Aoliviero is complaining about the extra $900 that he was not told besides the shipping that he had to pay. It would be fair to let any buyer know what the "total" cost of the transaction would be.Even when I was dealing with Promith... 
Unbalanced and Balanced output voltage
I believe the same goes for my Parasound A21 amp. It is not truly balanced. But that gain worked it's magic in my system :-) 
Unbalanced and Balanced output voltage
Marakanetz,Thanks for explaining. It makes sense now - why I have the much wanted gain in my system. And I believe that it is safe to assume that when a manufacturer specifies 2V via RCA and XLR, it actually means 4V to preamp thru XLR.Raulpjc,I a... 
Black foam/wood triangles? What are these called?
Depending on the firm that manufactured them. I use GIK and tey are called tri-traps:http://www.gikacoustics.com/gik_tri_trap_bass_traps.html 
Unbalanced and Balanced output voltage
Elizabeth,Thanks for explaining. I was aware of the amp's output, being limited to the spec. It was about a new CDP (in future) with XLR in my system that I was thinking about.So does it mean that if the CDP outputs 2V per leg, that is equal to 4V... 
Unbalanced and Balanced output voltage
Great question, Raul. You beat me to it. I was thinking of posting this today.If someone can also answer the "leg" of XLR that I discussed a couple of weeks back. I have also noticed the same thing as Raul. 2V vs 4V. Is it that:1.Some manufacturer... 
PreAmp Gain and Impact on Amp
I am not sure about the "load on amp". But it will impact the sound from your speakers - BIG TIME. I recently experienced this in my system. I used XLR to get a substantial gain from preamp to amp and the difference in the bass/mid-bass notes is n...

Come on Zman...it is his first post/reply. People do want attention...don't they? 
Quad 21L2 vs Dynaudio Focus 140's???
Well looks like I got a good system match with my Quad 21L. I chose them over Audio Physic, Totems, Dynaudio, Wharfedale, PSB, in their price range. "In their price range" is important here. I am sure that there are speakers costing 5X more that c... 
BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match?
Zd543,You may be right. And here is another simplistic answer that I received:The A21 gain is 6dB higher when the balanced connection is used. The output of your Promentheus is also 2x, or 6dB higher than unbalanced. Each "leg" or "phase" of the X... 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Finally got a simplistic answer I was looking for, on the gain that I gained in my system using XLR connection:The A21 gain is 6dB higher when the balanced connection is used. The output of your Promentheus is also 2x, or 6dB higher than unbalance... 
BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match?
Zd542,My passive unit is a dual mono TVC that is completely balanced. My source is a Marantz SA8260 SACD player with RCA outs. The CDP outputs 2.2V whereas the A21 has a sensitivity of 1V for full output. Even with the RCAs in place from TVC to A2... 
BAT vk-3ix and Parasound Halo A21 match?
I have no experience with impedance matching. But from a very recent experience, if you buy the A21, try to make use of the XLR instead of RCA. It made a HUGE difference, with my passive preamp. Good luck. 
Cable conundrum: Parasound A21 with RCA AND XLR
Ja2austintx/Xti16,Thank You for explaining. Please note that my current CDP only has RCA and that is how it is connected to the TVC.I was under the impression that for TVC, there is no real gain, as it does not have electricity input. I think a TV... 
Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device?
Ok Peterayer, I get your point now. Thanks. But lets hope that they don't suddenly start charging $2500 for the wave radios :-)
