| Serious hum problem. Help Fickle75, I understand from some other members' posts that if you have HD cable, that most of the cable ground isolators won't pass the HD signal ;--(( Bummer!As for the "coaxial "in" and "out" between the wall and the cable box" it depends on the... | |
| Cable for my amp. I agree that a 331 (might) sound better than a 27 (certainly not worse). However I'm of the opinion (along with many others, I might add, just search the threads) that a 27.5 will sound better than either one of them, in a number of important area... | |
| Sacrilege Going from Tubes back to Solid State There are SS amps that come very, very close to tube sweetness (I'm not talking about the SS amps that are made intentionally "warm and mellow" and try to mimic tube sound.)I'm talking about SS amps that aren't hard, harsh, grainey, etc. And as so... | |
| New Record Sounds Like Crap - How??? Elizabeth, I thought there was only one decent pressing plant left in the USA anyhow, Record Technology Inc., in Camarillo CA. They press records for MFSL, Capitol/EMI, Cardas, and probably others (Chesky?, Sundazed?) I'm not sure, but there are p... | |
| New Record Sounds Like Crap - How??? Jep is undoubtedly correct about the mold-release. The fact that he says "it needs to be cleaned off" may be, for an OLD SEALED record, easier said than done!I've run into this problem before. If a record is old, oldish, older, whatever ;--) and w... | |
| Cable for my amp. YY, I bought my EP-15A and my SP-15A used for $1075 and $930 respectively (great deals both of them ;--) There are 2 used EPs for sale on the Gon right now. The higher priced one is a newer model which comes with 2 digitally filtered outlets (for ... | |
| Receivers/Processors and HDMI Repeater Error Thanks -- that was perfectly clear. So what is it about vacuum tubes you want to talk about ;--)? | |
| Cable for my amp. Samzx12 -- your choice of words:do a nice job cleaning up the powertells me I'm not being clear enough. Power conditioners "clean up" power (power regenerators don't need to) by filtering EMI and RFI out of wall power. Add a (current limiting) cir... | |
| Receivers/Processors and HDMI Repeater Error For us vidiots, could you explain what repeater error is, or tell me where to go (to find out.) | |
| Power converter As long as it will work on 60Hz instead of 50Hz.. Most things will except turntable motors ;--) | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Ded_wards, I haven't searched MIT's archives lately, but I'm sure you'll find it under the Dept. of Physiological Psychology, ca. 1964-1966. The title of the paper is "Controlled Studies in Human Stereophonic Perception."We had hundreds of volunte... | |
| Cable for my amp. Samzx12, no, I must admit I never auditioned a Hydra. However, all power "conditioners" like Hydra, Monster, Panamax, PS Audio, etc., are variations on the same circuitry, and use the same kinds of components. They all present the same problem too... | |
| Cable for my amp. Sam and YY, the Shunyata Hydra is one of the most popular power conditioners. Please re-read my comments on these devices. Even though it's very expensive, the Hydra is still just a conditioner, and therefore in my opinion, not the best use of you... | |
| Cable for my amp. YY -- do not lump all power devices into the same category. There are basically 4 kinds of devices:1. Regenerators2. Conditioners3. Isolation transformers4. Balanced power unitsThe first device to try is really not a device: dedicated circuit(s) w... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Queg -- maybe I'm missing something here, but I was under the impression that you took the lack of response to your recent job application as a supreme compliment, or at the very least, complete stupidity as to your qualifications.Were you really ... |
