Question for Andra owners
I have the Andra 2 now for about 1-2 years.Every now when I get new equipment I relocate the Andra's looking for the best spot in my room. Just got the new Pass Labs XP-10 Preamp , so away the speakers move... What a task!.Anyway, words of advise.... 
Re-terminate Pure Note Paragon
Another option is to buy another Paragon used 2 or 3 Meter XLR set and connect them together with the pair you already have. XLR cables are great for this because no coupler is required.I know that connecting cables together is supposed to be a no... 
Von Schweikert speakers..
I owned the VR SR mk 11 and I have heard the Wilson 6, 7 ,8 speakers.Here is my opinion of both.The VR were ok , they do require a very long break in time. I did play them for many months .I never quite liked the bass or the treble. The Bass was n... 
Synergistic Research Tesla x4 speaker cable
I sure hope I am answering the right questions. I am sorry if I implied anything about the bananna plug orientation.The mini coupler AC adapter needs to be plugged in with the mini coupler AC adapter upright into the wall outlet. My Mini coupler A...

You also need to make sure the mini coupler is plugged incorrectly. They will sound weird if backwards. 
Removing the ground on PC?
Just disconnect the ground in the outlet. 
LEGACY FANS ?
I used a older Krell KSA 250 Amp with my Legacy Focus and I thought it sounded great. I also found that you need to play around (like most speakers) with speaker placement to get the bass just right. 
Power conditioning v re-generation; Shunyata v. PS
Markny, all that being said . Upgrading the power cord from the wall to power conditioners usually improves the conditioner output. The PS which I had owned is nothing more than a power conditioner with a differnt approach to the method of power c... 
Unexpected preamp needed- return policy important
If lifting the ground works,you can always remove the ground wire from the outlet. Then you dont have to mess with altering the power cords. Just make sure that if you plug additional items into the same outlet they are only the 2 prong plugs. 
AC Power Between Amp and Preamp
All in all, (depending upon your equipment and the Amps they draw) in most instances you would be much better off plugging your Amp into a seperate outlet instead of into the Preamp.Pardon the question, but I have to ask, how hard is it to turn on...

Your welcome. No big deal, I could tell there was a little confusion.I just got the New Pass Labs XP 10 since I have a Pass Labs X350.5 Amp, I am breaking it in now.Let me know how you enjoy the Cd Player when you get it. 
New owner of used Cary 306 SACD
The Cary 306 SACD does not have its own volume control.You must be referring to the Cary 306/300 which is not the same machine as the Cary 306 SACD.The newest version yet is the Cary SACD Pro. All the similar numbering is confusing.I used a APL De... 
Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using?
Yes, its true. I am selling my Cary unit. As beautiful as it is there is a impedance mismatch with my Pass Labs X 350.5. Couldn't quite put my finger on it, thought trying different tubes might be the answer.After reading Tvads comments I started ... 
Cary Audio SLP 05 PreampWhat tubes are you using?
In general is it ok to have many different combos in place at the same time. They would all be 6sn7 or 231 ?__________________________________________________________Thanks for the responses so far. Tvad, the tonal quality seems to be ok , but eac...
