| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length I'm only swapping out the FL & FR for the Transparent Audio. Hoping to have them back within a week or so. I think I'm done buying audio equipment for awhile. Maybe next year swap out my Sharp 70" for a Samsung 80" screen. šRegarding the FL &a... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Just called George Meyer today and they ordered the lugs for my cables last week. Itās less than a 1 hour job to install them. Simple crimp and solder but the cable is so thick, probably 10 AWG so soldering might be a bit tricky. Iād rather an exp... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Update----Dropped them off at the local high-end audio repair center. When I called Transparent Audio and got a quote, it was excess of $400.00. They would get new terminals, inspected, certified, and warranted. I said "Thank You"!Ā I'm waiting for... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length Just spoke to Transparent Audio and confirmed they are the original MM cable. Yes the current generation is G5. These sold originally for about $1700 and have a trade in value of about $800 now. Since they came with my P5 when I bought it last wee... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length How do I tell the difference between the MM1 vs MM2?All it says on one side is Transparent Musicwire Super and the opposite side says 38854MM. Does that say which one it is? Also, what are they worth?I think I will use them for the LF and RF as th... | |
| Transparent Musicwave Super speaker cables, 12 ft length I would assume they are light years better than the Audioquest Type II cables I'm now using for all 5 channels? Since I only have these for the LF & RF, the Audioquest will provide for the center and surrounds. It's that or sell the TMW and ke... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? ***UPDATE***My Anthem A5 will be here Friday but one caveat, just picked up my (new to me) Anthem P5 from UPS. OMG is it a BEAST! Holy crap, it's 130 lbs and just connected it up. This may not be the place for a review and I cannot articulate like... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Just received the service report. All of the power supply capacitors (they look like long C-cell size batteries) needed replacing. It's like a new amplifier now. I understand the caps are what fails soonest in most cases. Funny thing, I just purch... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? ***UPDATE***Well, my Anthem A5 made it to its birthplace safely and today I had a conversation with one of the customer service reps. Sure enough, there WAS a problem. Replace a couple bad capacitors. I don't have the hard copy report yet but I'm ... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? Thank you blindjim,Iāve done every test I could come up with. The best isolation scheme was to only have the Anthem A5 connected to the speakers with no other component connected or plugged into house power. The hum was audible from the amp and co... | |

| Subwoofer for classical music listener Here's my 2 cents and it may just be worth that!I've done a lot of research on subs and am an advocate of REL's. My system is dual purpose, 2-channel music and 5.5 channel home theater. When I say 5.5, meaning I have 5 subwoofers. A loudspeaker is... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? For those who have offered advice, education, and information, I am very thankful. I've tried everything almost imaginable to find the source of the "hum". I've deduced the problem to it's source being my original assumption. Doubting myself provi... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? After all this, my problem isn't a ground loop, bad ground, or anything external. Reading my email to the repair shop will explain;Hi Morris,Ok, Iāve exhausted my resources and have isolated the problem. I have a dedicated AC line I tapped from th... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I tried a different power cord. If it were a ground issue, wouldnāt running it through a power conditioner such as the Torus correct it? Also, the Torus is plugged into the outlet by the left channel and I tried plugging directly to the outlet by ... |
