| AC polarisation. Does it matter? As most of my wires(Electraglides) are reversed except for the wires to the cdp and tuner should I reverse the polarity at the wall plug? That would reverse to proper polarisatiom the Hydra but then the amp and preamp would be reversed. The way I ... | |
| Sound difference between Classe CD/DVD1 and CDP10? This answer is outdated by the dates on this post but the CD/CVD 1 was more like the Classe 1.5 and the CDP 10 smoked them both. | |
| A plea for help from my Hales T-8's You can try using packing tape(the clear type and sticking the tape right on your tweeter dome and then gently lift the tape and that usually works. If it does not work you can replace just the voice coil domes with new ones from Madisound assumin... | |

| Review: VeraStarr Silver Reference Power cord I must agree with all the above as when I plugged in my Verastarr power cord I did not know what to expect. I was and am extremly happy with the sound of this cord straight out of the box. I can hear the characteristics of a new cord needing burn ... | |
| Grouding question ? Sean,How would I attach a ground to the Hydra. If I had a large guage wire connected at the ground prongs only of two male plugs then I could plug one end into the wall and one end into the Hydra BUT is it OK to have a ground connection between tw... | |

| What are the current Electraglide power cables? I second that about Stewart at Sancuary of Sound "Weekend Environments" giving the best advice on cables. My system would not be at the point it is at without the generous advice of Stewart"Cable Guru". | |

| Aurios and Tungsten balls I tried putting the ball on both sides of my Aurios and found that when the Aurios was upside up the ball tilted to one side of the screw head or the other. This made alignment impossible. When I tried turning the Aurios upside down I found that t... | |
| X250 Isolation? Hi Sean,I used three pucks that use a ball bearing type design made by Orchard Bay a company in Washingington that machines cones and things. I got them from Stewart at " A Sanctuary Of Sound". He is an Audiogon dealer. They are pretty heavy duty ... | |
| X250 Isolation? Having been experimenting a bit I have come to realise that my system does sound quite alot better with the isolation puck devices under my X250. I don't know why as the amp is heavy on it's own but with the isolation devices under it the music is... | |
