| Blue Circle's PLC -2 Thingee conditioner versus Transparent Audio PLC 6 conditioner???: I bought the 6 outlet for a second system don't remember model but it was the best offered at the time 5 or $600. I read it was good bang for buck. I'm sorry but I don't think it did much. I use Running Springs in other systems, I did not expect i... | |

| Smoke on my power amp Agree with almarg you need at schematic to simplify repair it can be done without but you may have to through parts at it that look suspect. If you can find an old school tech in your area that has year of experience trouble shooting you may be ab... | |
| Smoke on my power amp Have you opened up and look inside to see any visible damage, swollen electrolytic cap, internal blown fuse, maybe something obvious that may be able to be fixed local. Not a fan of shipping a heavy amp if avoidable. Long ago I had a speaker wire ... | |
| Chasing down the problem Have you tried pushing up from up under the RCA connector at the input of the amp or output of the preamp? I had this problem long ago on a BAT amp. I had to keep constant upward pressure on the RCA which meant I had to place a wood block under th... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? This definitely sheds some light on problems I've had with this new room. Once a few cables were moved and sound deteriorated I thought if I moved speakers and in turn moving speaker wire closer to front wall bass would come back but that wasnt th... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Audiozen with all respect you can't be more wrong. System sounded great for 3 weeks without tampering with it. Within the 2 minutes it took to flip cables around dynamics were reduced highs were still there but refined sparkle was gone. Preamp is ... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Audiozen with the problems setting up this system and adding panels was tricky I did finally correct the sound. Bass was full and highs detailed and airy. I decided to add silver interconnect between tube pre and amp, change to copper between phon... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? Audiozen I just moved to a new house main system went in a big room and set up was easy and have been very pleased. This system has gone in 12x12x9 room, I've never had a room this small so it has been a challenge. I did add GIK panels. | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? I just moved this system in a new room couple months ago and have also been moving speakers around a lot over this 2 month period. I could not figure out why things would not sound right. I know the speaker cables are moving because crossover is e... | |
| Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this? I'm glad to hear some people tend to experience this problem, I believe and respect others do not hear it. The issue is I know personally I experience total loss of bloom, bass, spl or energizing of the room or what ever you would like to call it... | |

Just back from holidays, I'm going to contact mouser again and see if the have my values, other company wanted me to buy 100's at a time, I'm just curios if Wima can compete for other projects against boutique caps, sure would save me a lot of money. | |
| BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS. Talked to mouser few days ago only cap they have 6.8 which is for bass driver and mid driver in 2.5 crossover. Tweeter caps for me are 8.2 and 4.7 and 1.5 for rear firing tweeter. Maybe I'll replace 6.8 for the hell of it just to see only cost a f... | |
