| Questions About CAT JC-2 I did get a bit of info from CAT.The input impedance is 110 KohmsAs for replacing a blown tube, Lee said that one should replace the whole set if they are getting close to worn out, but if they are still in pretty good shape and the "blown" tube s... | |
| Naim 5i: How important are Naim NACA Cables? Thanks guys - that's just the kind of information I'm looking for. So far, here on agon, even split. The seller tells me that the NACA is quite critical, but I can't use it in my system. My speakers take only spades, and the run is about 18', too ... | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 I've heard the Plinius 102 with Harbeths - what a sweet combination - I think it's a very sweet amplifier. | |
| selection of amp to drive DYNAUDIO C1 I've heard it with Gamut monoblock amplification. Wow!!! | |
| Best bookshelf for House Music I'd look into a Dynaudio C1. But I don't see how a monitor on a stand is that much smaller than a small footprint floorstander. Anyhow, the C1 is very dynamic with lots of bass. Also, what about a Totem 1 or Mani2? | |
| Long USB cable If your imac has optical out of its mini headphone jack, get a good glass optical cable. Talk to underwoodwally. | |
| Long USB cable That is correct, 15' is the max. There are repeaters to extend this, but I'm not sure about the effect on sound quality. | |
| Speakers free of grain, glare and steel? I've had Harbeth's and think they are great. I've been impressed with hearing Spendors and the Adagios too (very impressed with them). | |
| Is 75 ohm coax the same as S/PDIF? You can make your own 75 ohm connector with good quality belgin 75 ohm coax and good quality RCA connectors. Most people say the proper length for this is 1.5 meters, but I believe a very short run (e.g. 8 inches) also works well (if your DAC will... | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Oh - and the question still remains - how much DC offset is problematic on an AC line for equipment? | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? By the way, I'm using an Environmental Potentials home surge protector / conditioner as discussed inthis thread. As it is on a breaker, I can take it out of the system. | |
| How Much DC is OK on a Power Line? Thanks Gbart. I'm using Classe Omega amplifiers. I just measured my outlet for DC, and am seeing about 200 mv. I had an air compressor plugged in that night, and maybe it went on and the motor increased my outlet DC? | |
| Any Environment Potentials EP-2050 users out there I have one hooked up to my breaker box. Easy to install, that's a plus. I can't say I noticed any auditory difference. I'm glad to have the whole house surge protection, but I do note that they don't offer a guarantee like other surge protection s... | |
| Amplifier for Jordan JX92S Transmission Lines What about a Pass F5 clone? Would that be enough power? | |
| Entertainment for Tonight Seattle audiences are renouned for their standing ovations, on almost everything!!! Not to say it wasn't deserved, but that's just the way it is around here. Perhaps it's associated with the extreme courtesyousnous of the Seattlites. Where did you... |
