| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Yeah, I should look for some online and here in Tucson (where we have some GREAT used vinyl stores).All the Nonesuch records I have, I bought new in the 60's -- for some reason I can't remember what they cost.. | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? If I am indeed "Nonesuch", I should sue because I was here first!Anyway, the brick wall unit is effective and doesn't require replacing fried MOV's (that's what's in PS's "replaceable module") and it's unfortunate they can't make one without the i... | |
| Make sure your speakers spikes are coupled Welcome to the party guys -- but I'm really glad someone brought this issue up AGAIN! It's important that new audiofiles be exposed to these basic concepts, and too often people (meaning us OLD audiophiles) just assume everyone knows these things.... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Zaikesman, I think with power amps, the most important issue is the AC energy transfer. Obviously a good 10AWG PC is a plus, as well as good available AC. With balanced power units, I think the essential feature is common mode noise rejection, esp... | |
| Exactpower Ep15a or PS-Audio p500 Zaikesman, I said pretty much what you did (about the new PS) on another thread. It has a lot of bells and whistles and features with fancy names, but only the variable power supply is really new. Still handles noise with filters and inductors -- ... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Speedy, I'm glad you found the EP a useful addition. I guess there's a limit to what one can expect from dedicated circuits alone, even with the best of power companies? I always shut off my power amp (and put the sub on "standby") before hitting ... | |
| which power conditioner unit? Jolen, now I understand why you are happier without it ;--) | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Hooper and others) basically, here's what sets the Exactpower apart from other regenerators:The Exactpower looks at the incoming power and identifies only the parts of the 60 cycle wave that are noisy or out of spec and then fills in just those pa... | |
| which power conditioner unit? Jolen, "I had one installed" etc. One what!? | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Yes I leave the units on all the time except when there's an approaching thunderstrorm, in which case I turn off the EP and of course the SP goes off with it. | |
| What to expect from MONO Ebalog, when I said "anomalies in you room's response" I was referring to phasing issues and "floating" image (which is what Arch7 was asking about, I think). I wasn't referring to the room's frequency response. A mono groove only produces lateral... | |
| What to expect from MONO It may not be your setup or equipment but rather anomalies in you room's response resulting from playing a mono groove with a stereo cartridge. Having a mono/stereo switch on your preamp (switched to mono of course) can eliminate a lot of that. So... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Myraj, I shouldn't speak for Allan, but I understood he was telling Speedy the same thing I was -- in fewer words ;--). | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Speedy, I told you about my using this setup well over a year ago -- better late than never;--)) Welcome. If your components could talk, they'd be saying "Oh Speedy! You're sooo good to us!!" | |
| Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes Don, BTW, if you do want to try KT88's in the VT130, DEFINITELY call ARC first and check to see if it's OK. There may be certain precautions, or restrictions depending on the model of ARC amp you have. Ask to speak with Chris Ossanna in service. H... |
