| What are/were the best sounding cheap components you have ever had? 1. Crown PL-1 Power Amp $400 2. Crown SL - 1 Preamp $600 with adjustable separate external MM phone preamp. Building JBL Laners from the JBL blueprints and Buying the LE 14A, Le20,LE5H mid components. Total speaker cost under $700. | |
| Power cords or power conditioner I recommend you either place the system in a better room or make the room you have acoustically neutral. You might have audio being canceled out due to reflections. I doubt the problem is with power. I use a cheap power conditioner from Trippligh... | |
| Does dose anyone see these speakers in real? I built my speakers and are very nice to look at. Style like the Paragon speaker of old. They sound very expensive. I will sell them to you for 5 million! | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer I have been happy with Innuos. Works great with Roon. I plugged in a 2TB USB for backups. Works seamlessly. | |
| Why not? My first mid-fi amp and preamp came with really crummy power cords. My Primaluna came with a very thick and I assume large gauge conductor. The only one I have owned that came with a Hulk cable! 😀 | |
| What causes the music to hum and distort when playing a vinyl record Most common. Usually a ground loop causes hum. A ground difference of potential between two audio sources. Bad ground connection. If both on the same good ground that can be one solution. Interference from magnetic field at 60Hz. Bad power su... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Hans Zimmer, James Horner, John Williams, Howard Shore, John Berry, Michael Giacchino, Patrick Doyle, Movie Sounds Unlimited. That's a good start. 😀 | |
| Class D Amplification Announcement Your news sounds exciting! | |
| Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room Nice system! | |
| NEED TO REPLACE OLD FAITHFUL- WHICH AMP. SHOUD I CHOOSE I suggest you compare against a Primaluna. My experience in that price range nothing came close. I went integrated because of space. The 30wpc punched better than a 100w Shiit Vidar, got louder with less disortion. Better sound. At the showroom co... | |
| Two amps into one pair of speakers The tube amp won't be hurt if off. Tubes cannot be hurt because it has plates and need electrons to move via heat. Not sure what would happen with the MAC because of the back EMF through the transformers. . In any case like others has said it is ... | |
| Did you notice.... I read responses to the question. What is "Outperform" is What? I hear advantages in both depending on the music and age of CD. Type of mixing and EQ. With streaming you might find the same song mixed. EQ better than what the CD had. Strictly Red... | |
| Indentical measurments = Identical performance? There are so many technical factors. Crown International in the late 1970s, 80s made some of the best built and technically measured stereo equipment in the world. Dollar for dollar the best. .00025 intermodulation .0025 THD at full rated output i... | |
| What is the best non-conditioning surge protector Did you over-rate the conditioner so it could handle surge current? Total Watts with headroom? | |
| B.S. Node 2i brick (yet another one) Digital power supplies are normally not robust when taking power hits High frequency spikes and RF noise is a killer. Small sound gear like streamers and DACs won't handle bad power. Did you have power protection? You do not need esoteric, just s... |
