| 17 feet IC to long with Coincident pre and Franks? Or you can stick with balanced Interconnect cables and use the Jenson Transformers. They have one that goes from Balanced to RCA. So you can run your balanced cables all the way to where your amps are, then plug them into the Jenso Transformer, an... | |
| What power conditioner will help in my situation? Seriously, if one is going to get into this electronics/electrical/audiophile game, then short cuts really don't cut it. The ones that do use short cuts end up paying in the end. As the old saying goes, there ain't no such thing as a free lunch. Y... | |
| What power conditioner will help in my situation? Have a qualified electrician run a dedicated line or two. It really doesn't cost that much to do so. They really do know what they are doing and how to do it. worst case, run on wall wiring in on wall conduit from another circuit (preferrably one ... | |
| Does it bother you? Doesn't bother me at all. Some recordings are just bad. Because of the equipment used by some recording studios and equipment used by the artist themselves. Some (most) are not audiophiles and are not interested at all in the detailed sound qualit... | |
| If you solicit offers, shouldn't you respond? Sorry, but some offers don't warrant a response. It isn't rude to not respond some times. Some times it isn't work the effort or heart ache. Some people want to haggle. While others list at a "selling price" don't want to haggle or don't have room... | |

| Power supply to Amplifier Dedicated line with its own hot, neutral and ground back to the panel. Don't let the electrician share neutrals with some other circuit. | |
| Tube amp down, need guidance from the experienced 5 to 6000 hours on the tubes???? Wow. Who told you that the tubes have a useful life that long? I think you really were pushing your luck. Manufacturers will give an estimated life range for the tubes they use and will include a "fudge factor" amo... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? I agree with Zd542. If you feel that this is entirely too long to wait and they won't give you a reasonable estimate for repair time, then maybe it is time to ship it back to you. A decent repair facility can diagnose and repair an amp. Any amp. M... | |
| Pioneer PD-65 & Parasound z-dac Sorry, the Pioneer Elite PD 65 is number 8 on the list. | |
| Pioneer PD-65 & Parasound z-dac My PD65 works just great in my office system. Decent as a transport. However, I compared several CD/DVD players as transports into my separate DAC and the results are:1. Pioneer Elite DV79AVI2. Mark Levinson No. 393. Pioneer Elite DV09 Wonderful u... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? I'm curious as to how you know that "one channel not working" is a "minor repair"? It is not as if the company has their employees just sitting around playing card games. If they have a long queue of repairs, it is typically, first in first out. S... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I have to tell you that this tube vs solid state discussion and other discussions are typically biased against solid state and towards tube. As I have mentioned previously in other posts, I have heard many excellent tube amps. But, I have also hea... | |
| Chinook vs AR PH5/6 No one mentioned the AR PH6. I have it my system and it is quite nice. I haven't compared it against the other two listed above, since I was replacing my AR PH3 at the time. I have heard the AR REF Phono 2 and it is quite another much much higher ... | |
| Dedicated Power Lines There are many ways that noise can be added to the power lines. Large industrial motors, generators on the system, etc. However, when in your home, it can come from florescent lighting, refrigerator motors, microwaves, etc. You can actually scope ... |
