| What sounds best integrated or separates? I have been running a CAT JL2 with a CAT Pre and now a Placette Active. I will be trying the Ars Sonum 30 Watt integrated. I have reason to believe that with my speakers, the Merlin VSM-MXs, this little integrated might prove very competetive with... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End That's right. Thanks for the clarification. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End The Jaco can allow 2400 Watts of current draw and Haley 1800 Watts, which may be the same thing as saying 15 amp/ 20 amp - otherewise the same units. You would probably need the Jaco if you were using HT, or had two, very large monobloc amps - oth... | |
| Best sounding CD Player for $3K or less used? A used ARC CD3 MKII would be worth considering. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Jafox, I did not try a lot of permutations. I started off with the front end in the Haley and the JL2 direct. I would say this provided most of the benefit. I then begrudgingly plugged the CAT JL2 into the Haley - no harm done! At least that I cou... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Thank you Clio09. I'm a snake oil sceptic, but "good" power conditioners are worthwhile - I suspect there many out there that do more harm than good - the RSA Haley is not one of them - I recommend that everyone at least try one. If you electrical... | |
| Best CD player money can buy ? MBL, Nagra, Naim? Accustic Arts transport and dac with a Verdig Sextet cable is a top contender at approximately $16,000. | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Holy ^%&%! It did not take long to hear the improvement the RSA Haley brought to my system. I was hesistant to plug in the CAT JL2 into the conditioner because it can run at 900watts, but the Placette and Accustic Arts only run 30 Watts betwee... | |
| Power Conditioners Suited to Digital Front End Thank you all for your input. I've done a lot of research since I first asked the question and have come to choosing between the Running Springs Haleys and the BPT 2 Ultra +. I currently have a CAT AMP that I would plug into the wall direct, with ... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Clio09, thanks for your thoughts. I will probably be running a 30 Watts Integrated (Ars Sonum)which should work fine. I also suspect that I would avoid the isolation transformer route for the digital stuff. I'm at the point of considering the Hale... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Clio09, do you plug you amp into the Haley, not the wall outlet? I would like the simplicity of this, but always hesitant to plug an amp into anything but the wall outlet. I'm not sure I want to put any full isolation into my system, I just don't ... | |
| Recommendations for a sub $600 power strip? Does the Haley isolate digital components from analog? | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener I think the reasaon I love my Merlin VSMs so much is that they are essentially a two-way monintor on top of a sand-filled stand. The small cabinet and the simplicity of the two-drives with one Xover is much of the reason for their cohesive sound. ... | |
| Accustic Arts Just in general, if you ever hear someone say of two high-end pieces that one "destroys" the other, take it with a huge grain of salt. Nothing digital destroys the AA, though some may prefer another piece. | |
| Help: Order of importance: Pre, Amp, DAC, speakers Speaker for personality - and more obvious.Electronics more subtler, but ultimately more telling as realated to detail and nuance. The speaker can only be more less accurate to the source. The electronics define what is possible for the speakers. ... |
