| Opinions on Straght wire? I think the Maestro and Maestro II (very similar except for a thicker outer jacket on the II) are one of the great bargain sleeper cables in audioland, both for ICs and speaker. I used them for years (years, because I couldn't find anything better... | |
| Hum in system when only amp is on Ian, in my heart of hearts, I feel the warning from Theta is mainly a liability issue, and that you shouldn't be paranoid about ruining the amp if you float the ground . . . . . but if you are, then ground the amp, but not anything else (oh, and t... | |
| Testicle Tumor Tvad, wouldn't that be his ninth tour, or have I lost count? | |
| Hum in system when only amp is on Ncarv, you might want to read the description of their x-Stream power cords on the PS Audio site. They even provide their cords with a removable ground pin for that very purpose.As for the arrow direction, Ian is using Audioquest single ended Jagu... | |
| Testicle Tumor I can't help you but I really think you should contact the folks at Lance Armstrong's foundation. Good luck, it's frightening I know. | |
| DIY WATT crossover network? Don't do it. Call Wilson and get a replacement, or send yours in to be repaired. The speaker serial no. is important too, because there are always variations during manufacturing runs, and Wilson keeps very good records of what exactly went into y... | |
| Hum in system when only amp is on The arrows on the ICs connecting the preamp to the amp should point to the preamp. The preamp AC cord should be grounded, but the amp should not (it's grounded through the ICs and the preamp) and you should use a "cheater" plug on the amp's AC cor... | |
| Recommend AC Power cord for my Krell FPB 200????? Just make sure whatever you choose has at least 10 AWG conductors. Otherwise forget it. | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Replacement for Wilson WHOW? Yes Raul, but you are forgetting that the WHOW is a beautiful piece of furniture and makes a great coffee table, so maybe that's why John is trying to find a way to save it -- and I think he can.John, you might want to consider one of the new Clas... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Replacement for Wilson WHOW? John, I used a Bryston 10B when my system was bi-amped. A very quiet and versatile unit, I can't recommend it highly enough. See if you can get one used, because like all Bryston equipment, it carries a transferrable 20 yr warranty. As for the amp... | |
| Zerostat The Zerostats, but here's a tip for using your carbon brush so it's even more effective than a Zerostat:Make sure your hands are dry, and (sorry) lick your fingertips before gripping the aluminum part of the brush (that holds the bristles.) while ... | |
| Question on a Levinson 27.5 amp I have a 23.5 (very similar to your 27.5) for 16 years now. For years, I turned it on and off at the beginning and end of each listening session -- this because it was part of a bi-amped system with a pair of tube monoblocks. So when the tube amps... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Replacement for Wilson WHOW? Essentialaudio, I have no idea what you're talking about. The ad I referred to is not my ad and I mentioned it only to illustrate the kind of amp another person found satisfactory, that's all. Perhaps I should've edited out his identity, is that w... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Replacement for Wilson WHOW? Puremusic, just to illustrat what I said in my previous post, I ran across this ad copy for a WHOW for sale right now on AgoN (a Levinson 331!, but that's a little overkill. A Bryston would be fine for bass):This is an audiophile's low frequency d... | |
| Subwoofer Crossover Replacement for Wilson WHOW? You were right the first time (insufficient power at 150W) A used Bryston 4B at 400W would really make that thing sit up and sing!!! IMHO |
