| help with DAC w/current system I have Classe CDT-1 and DAC-1. Cables are important and I recommend the Illuminations Orchid. You also might want to try a Monarchy DIP between the transport and DAC. I've been experimenting with the DIP, Illuminations Orchid and D-60. All of them... | |

| Is there a catalog of HDCD recordings? hdcd.con, as indicated by wirehead. I just don't think that they've updated in a while. From what I've heard, there are other variations almost like hdcd that will cause your player to indicate it has and hdcd disk. Do to the laws, they can't prin... | |

| Amp "Hum" caused by dimmer switches Albert....not to stray from the thread, but I am interested in your service entrance. Three phase on a home? With "CT" metering? Did you have to pay a fee for the "private" transformer? Do you have to pay a "demand" fee for the three phase? Two se... | |
| Amp "Hum" caused by dimmer switches You can try a "high" quality dimmer, like the Lutrons that were mentioned. Or check to see that the lighting branch circuit is on the "other" leg of your service. Not the same "leg" as your amp, or branch circuit. If these suggestions to not help,... | |
| Thiel owners save your packing boxes You may want to try to get replacement packing materials from your dealer. If you are a regular (not meaning you spend a lot there) but stop in once and a while so that they know you, you might get them for free. When I bought my CS5i's they were ... | |
| Speaker Cable for Thiel 3.6 I've had the scs, 2 2 and currently 5is. Had great luck with MIT 770 cvt twin (speaker) and 330 med imp shotguns (pre/pwr ic). Also Classe ca4oo amplification. I've found that toe-in can help tame things a bit. Good luck | |
| ARC LS-15, thumbs up or down? Thanks everyone, I've decided that it's a "keeper". The pre has been retubed and has the ARC dampening rings. It also has the Infinicaps. The previous owner was very fussy. Just one thing though, it looks like the pre is set up for high 18db gain.... | |
| Weird Thing after I lift my ground. I'll take a shot at this. Please don't quote me on it. I believe that digital equipment uses ground as a reference. I base this on my expierences correcting power problems in data systems. Neutral and ground must be equal potential or data error c... | |
| ARC LS-15, thumbs up or down? Thanks for the post No_money. The hum may be normal for the LS-15. The pre was a trade in on a Ref II. I wasn't sure since it's a used pre and I'm not schooled in tubes. I am using the direct in for my source and it does make a difference. Thanks | |
| Surrounds for Thiel 3.6 system? I have to agree on the SCS's. I have 3 of them used as center and surrounds. They have been used along with 2 2's and now 5i's. They integrate very well. Extremely well built coaxial speaker. | |
| ARC LS25/Classe CAM 350/Maggie 3.6 Check out Stereophile Vol. 24 No. 1 (Jan 2001). Brian Damkroger reviewed the CAM 350's. The speakers were the MG 3.6/R along with a CJ pre I believe. Hope this helps. Good luck! | |
| Sellers Obligation To Respond I agree with all of the above. I will admit though, that I was taken by surprise, by the volume of email that an add can generate. I try to reply to all inquiries. Serious, lowball, screwball, repeat, you name it. But I'll admit that I'm not perfe... | |
| Do the Audio gods shine upon you? Slowhand: I have found that the music just sounds better in the morning. I try to listen for an hour before going to work. If I'm reading while listening, the music becomes more "detailed" in my subconsious? for some reason. |
