Bel Canto REF600m with subwoofers
Oops.  Should have reviewed my response BEFORE posting.  My amps are the Bel Canto 600M not 600i.  The 600i is my Questyle CMA 600i DAC/Headphone amp. 
Bel Canto REF600m with subwoofers
Thanks  dalims4 for your reponse.  Someone on another thread led me to the use of a Jesen IsoMax isolation transformer between my 600i's and my pair of subs (I purchased JL Audio E-110s).  The E110 is optimized to perform best with the low level ... 
MRI grade vs Hospital grade electric outlets
I agree that they are an improvement (slight but noticeable) in sound over standard wall outlets.  But unfortunately they do not have a strong enough grip on heavier gauge power cables.  I have been using two for the past couple years and must han... 
Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps
BTW, the brass pins in my plastic inserts were not tapered. 
Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps
Success on pin and insert removal.  Pins were easily pushed out with my smallest nail punch.  The banana connectors on my Furutech Reference III speaker cables fit perfectly.  And the sound is now MUCH more to my liking than with my spade-terminat... 
Banana plugs into Pass x.5 amps
Thanks tooblue!  If I can't visually determine which pin end is bigger, I suppose pushing each way to find the exit path is ok.  Did you find the pin hard to push out?don_c55.  Thanks, but I don't want to take a $$$ hit on resale of my present ban... 
B&W 683S2 for entery level speakers
Scott,I found your reply very interesting since I currently have the Triton Sevens and have been considering adding the 682S2s to my system. Would you be so kind to comment on the subjective sonic differences you heard between these two speakers? ... 
"Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers
I have found that, in general but not always, solid state amps with MOSFET outputs sound somewhat warmer althought slightly less transparent than bipolar output transistors. One relatively inexpensive power amp with bipolar output transistors that... 
Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth
I had my AZ Adagios in my system with AC tube, battery tube/hybrid and SS amplification (integrated, power and monos). NEVER did they sound harsh when the recording was good. They were smooth, extended at both ends and grain-free with all amplific... 
Tidal HiFi Streaming?
Like Arh, I too subscribed to Tidal for a short time. I cancelled my subscription after one month because (1) not all albums are in 44.1/16 - my experience indicated that perhaps about 25% of the ones I wanted to stream were not cd quality (or HiF... 
Selling dispute. Please comment.
Perhaps the buyer has an alterior motive in wanting the deal cancelled and is simply using the lack of manual as his out. If for some reason he was disappointed with the amps (sound, looks, smell, etc.), he may be trying to reverse the sale due to... 
Fuses that matter.
David,I have an sa11-s1 and have considered a power fuse upgrade but can not see any external fuse tray or slot. Could you please advise how I can access this fuse tray you spoke of. Thanks.John 
SuperConductor 3 Cables?
Gelaw,I auditioned the sc3 speaker cables early this year. Their synergy in my system was fantastic. I concur with stickman451 and luna on their description of the sc3's characteristics. I simply loved my system's sound with them installed. Howeve... 
Fuses that matter.
Bryon,I read many threads, but post only when the content hits a nerve. In this case, your penultimate paragraph did. I agree with the phrase "that all men are created equal", but only when the sum of the parts are considered. As you insightfully ... 
beethoven piano concerto
By far the best version of his PC#1 IMHO is the ORIGINAL LP on DG performed by Arturo Benedetti Michaelangi with the Vienna Sym & Carlo Maria Guilini (circa 1980). I have the recent release on vinyl and the earlier CD, by they are dead soundin...
