| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 It will get much better over time.The new equipment must break in like any other equipment. Measure your line voltage to make sure it is correct. if it isn't the power company will correct it. once the equipment has broken in over time, you will t... | |
| advice on dedicated line Al; Thanks for the response. I can tell you that I have reviewed many home systems personnaly and each with dedicated lines that were run balanced to the panel as I indicated, and they did not negatively impact the system or sound. However, If peo... | |
| advice on dedicated line There are many here that are Electrical Engineers and/or Electricians. Remember that any competent Electrician will do the work to "code". People have posted their experiences and "what they would do". For the system that you listed, two "dedicate... | |
| So what would you recommend for my next upgrade? That system is very nice and unless you do some major upgrades for large costs, I wouldn't do much unless something in your opinion is missing from the sound. Suggestions that come to mind; I used MIT 330 cables and they were nice. I upgraded to T... | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. My favorite store, Stereo Design in San Diego, CA is 120 miles from where I live. I have established a good relationship with them over the many years. There are many dealers/stores in the LA area where I live. I just don't have any relationship w... | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. No way am I making a purchase of this significance without taking the unit home and auditioning it in my system at home. Any dealer worth their salt will take your credit card information and let you take the demo unit home for at home listening. ... | |
| ARC Ref phono stage. Assuming that your turntable, arm, and cartridge are close to the level of the AR system, my answer will be absolutely. But remember that the dealer's system is possibly not like yours, so there will be differences at home. However, AR reference p... | |
| DV-09 DAC? Dennon integrated DAC? External DAC? The DV09 is an excellent transport. It won't play CDRs though. I would do one of the following: 1. Spring for a decent DAC. You would be hard pressed to find some other unit to beat that DV09 as a transport. 2) Purchase a Pioneer Elite BDP09. This... | |
| Krell KSA-200s First Time Use Audiolabyrinth; The OP didn't say that the panel circuit breaker tripped. He said that the amp shuts off. Those are two entirely different things. I believe the problem may be a low voltage sagging problem at turn on, due to inrush and current dra... | |
| Krell KSA-200s First Time Use Something isn't right with the amp. The 15 amp circuit breaker would trip first if their wasn't enough current to handle the amp. It isn't the circuit wiring. However, there may be a voltage sagging problem with the amp pluged into that particular... | |
| Why do McIntosh come with cheap plastic remotes? I have three Audio Research devices. A REF 3 Pre-amp, A DAC 8 and a Phono 6. They all have the same type of remote. Although they are ridiculously heavy, remotes made from a solid block of aluminium like some, I believe that AR concentrated (corre... | |
| Amplifier with the best Bass? Depends on what type of cross over you are using. If electronic crossover with sufficient gain control for the bass amp, then you will have no problem. In other words, make sure the crossover has impedance matching characteristics so that you can ... | |
| Levinson 27.5 I don't think the 27.5 amp would be right for the speakers. 100 wpc may not be sufficient. I would grab a ML3, 23 or 23.5. especially the 23.5. I have Martin Logan Monolith III speakers and I biamp with two 23.5s and it is wonderful. The ML3 I hav... | |
| Tube Amps and Friendly Speakers - Back Impedance Al; I think I did misread the statement.Thanks, | |
| Objective vs. Placebo relating to system changes How many times have some of us sat with friends discussing wine only to discover that they claim that they cannot tell the difference between diffent reds/merlots/cabernets, etc. Many times I found it was because they never really cared or tried t... |
