| What Is The Best CD Changer Player Out There? George, I haven't gone the server route. The cambridge Azur 640H looks interesting but seems to be designed for systems with a TV. The I-pod as I use it (load and forget) is really very easy. You just need access to a recent PC and time to sit and... | |

| RPG Room Optimizer and other software rives, etc. I use and like CARA. As mentioned above it takes some effort, and frankly you really need to have an extra PC around as model runs can take hours. It is German software and does not violate German software laws that state: All programs should offe... | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? Foster, sounds like something is wrong. With your size room and speakers you should be dealing with too much bass. There pretty much has to be something weird going on. I vote for a wiring issue on the speakers. It is not unheard of for speakers t... | |

| Efficency- Low vs. Hi? The stratus series IME is hard to drive in general and has to be pushed a bit to open up. I was able to drive a pair of stratus silvers with a 60W rotel amp. This was a seperate amp that weighed 20+lbs though. The silvers didn't really shine until... | |
| Could my A-gon brothers please.... Before you try anything fancy, try a large dipole tacked on the wall and see where that gets you. | |
| Re-Cabling system Need advice Thanks for the info, forgot about fatwyre too.Any thoughts on how big a step down the Audience Maestro and Conductor are. The 3m XLR AU24 price of $2,284.00 may be a bit much.Nik | |
| A Q about isolated ground outlet & humming amp Isolated ground outlets simply have the screw (green) for the ground wire separated from the metal body of the outlet, the ground is not floated (ie disconnected) its just separate. The bottom line is that in many houses the wiring is in metal con... | |
| Help on wiring dedicated circuit for Audio Good info here. I second the comment about having your ducks in a row. To the point of having a sheet written up with exactly what you want. Be very specific about the wire type to be used since offen when you say 'two lines' they will try and use... | |
| Mobile Fidelity VS Re-mastered Todays remasterings are much much better that they used to be. In some cases though the extra 10 - 15 years of age on the master tape can make older cd transfers better. I like the DCC copies of the Doors better than new cds. There is endless disc... | |
| iTunes idiot needs some help One thing to keep in mind when using an I-pod is that playing higher bit rate files eats up more battery and results in shorter playtime. This is do to the way the i-pod runs its hard drive into a memory buffer....larger files run the disk more an... | |
| XLR cables are picking up radio/TV hash... Good luck, sounds like a nightmare. There are electric plug testers that just plug in the wall and give you green light or red light to check wiring. Just ask at a hardware store. Taking the whole set to the shop or at least some friends house may... | |
| XLR cables are picking up radio/TV hash... Khalid,It's your pre-amp's xlr outputs. Contact Marsh and see what they say, could be something miss wired internally that is ok when you run single ended. I don't understand your 'jumper' description, I thought newer W-5's had a switch to select ... | |
| XLR cables are picking up radio/TV hash... To be clear, you hear these sounds with the pre-amp > amp > speaker (no sources connected, power turned on) BUT not with just amp > speaker (power on)? Does the sound change if you change inputs on the pre amp?Nik |
