| Dilemma of Warped LPs - is seller liable? Believe it or not, there are several Ebay workshops on this subject.Basically, you can insist on the seller taking it back for a refund under one or both of two criteria:1.) If it's obvious that the record was poorly packed (didn't arrive in a pro... | |
| Decca Jubilee / Dynavector XV-1s / ZYX / Allaerts I completely agree with Raul about avoiding SUTs.And although my own phono preamp is ss, I see there are now some highly recommended tube phono preamps that offer high gain -- like the Aesthetix Io (80dB). So if you think you want tubes, even with... | |
| Isolation Transformers Tripplites are good rugged units, but not for audio. Too much noise and current limiting. Since you cant do dedicated lines (are you in an apartment or condo? Sometimes you can find an unused circuit, or one that has only one device on it) I'd adv... | |
| Shaft Style Car Radio I just did a quick search on Ebay/Google and found some Audiovox, JC, Alpine, and Kenwood | |
| Point Source or Line Source? Dispersion: Both good. Line source disperses very little vertically which avoids ceiling and floor room reflections. Point source disperses uniformly both horiz. and vert. producing (some say) a larger soundstage/sweet spot.Output: Line source (wh... | |
| where to plug in the dac and transport Saki, your information is correct. Another way to do it is to use one of the newer power conditiong or power regenerating devices which provide 2 or more digitally filtered outlets. So far, I've not seen any single purpose digital filters that you... | |

| Can Epiphany X plug into extension cord, what loss Well, it sounds like your dedicateds are already in so they're probably wired with the minimum 10 AWG - no point redoing them. I don't know how your panel is laid out but I hope #1 and #3 are on the same side of the neutral. If not (or you can't c... | |
| Can Epiphany X plug into extension cord, what loss I think #4 is in the right direction, but I have a more elegant soloution. First tell me what kind of floor you have (conc. slab on grade, or wood over joists).(BTW, you always want to use minimum 10 AWG for PCs for amps. And of course, 20A house ... | |
| Reference 3A Decapo "i" sounds shrilly If your equipment (and it's very good equipment) is working OK, and the sound is identical on both channels, and there are no other sonic issues (like noise, hum, RF interference), and not internal settings on the CDP or amp, then I would check fo... | |
| I'm Looking For the Best "I have terminal audiophilitis and the MDs are only giving me a few decades more to live,"How many decades is "a few"? And is this prognosis due to the "audiophilitis" or some other pathology?BTW, the suffix "itis" simply means "an inflammation of... | |
| Using a 220v amplification equipment in the US Putting in 220v dedicated circuits in your house (in the US) seems like it would be expensive because of the wire and plugs you'd have to use (or is that only necessary for dryers and electric ranges?)Now, I don't know how they do 220V in Europe o... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Skippack, let me answer your (very reasonable) question which is in the spirit of this thread: The signal ground lift switch is used to lift (disconnect or separate) the signal ground return leg in the amp's audio circuit(s) from the metal chassis... | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Bigtee: So?? | |
| Ungrounding an Amp--Any Danger? Bob and bigtee, we are wandering far from Mr. Socprof's thread, so let's not do that.I'd be happy to continue this discussion either privately (you can email me) or, if either one of you would like to start a thread on the subject of balanced vers... |
