Help with bi-wiring
Well, I suppose there is no real need to use different cables even if it doesn't screw up the sound. People generally recommend the shortest runs possible, especially with speaker cables and since I have 2 mono amps, I would be able to position th... 
Help with bi-wiring
Thanks, Just thinking about it, I think I would like to shorten the runs to 4' with 2 pairs to each speaker, 1 to bass and 1 to mid/high on each speaker. I'd appreciate advice on who could do this for me or if you think I could do it myself...thanks

For comparison, I set up 2 separate systems to listen to while I had my bacon. System A was a Sound Design super console with tower speakers. System B was a mcIntosh receiver with Martin Logan speakers. The result: The bacon tasted the same with e... 
What is Musicality?
re: my last post... I was replying to HFisher3380's post of 07-25-12. I am just now learning the posting format of the site, etc... 
What is Musicality?
Amen! (thank you) 
What is Musicality?
People - Quit trying to bastardize this musical term. Think up a new term to describe the sound comig out of your prized system... how about ELECTROCALITY? or VALVESSENCE? Here's one... AMPLIFACCIFITY. 
What is Musicality?
Sabai, get a grip! Ask any orchestra member or conductor. Musicality refers to the rendition of a musical work. Nothing to do with the equipment used to render it. 
Question for technicians
Twice I have rotated the bal switch end to end maybe 50 times. It works for quite a while and then you do it again. I guess the friction burnishes the contacts enought to eliminate the oxidation and make a good contact. In due time, the cycle repe... 
What is Musicality?
The term "musical" or "musicality" are misnomers when used to describe music reproduction equipment. The terms relate to the listener's perception of the performance at the source, generally regarding pace, timing, and harmony, and not the nuances... 
Question for technicians
this is an arc sp9-ii if you happen to know what style pots it has... I worked the switch many times as you suggested and it appears fine. hope it holds up. thanks 
Question for technicians
Just for the record, I believe I said "selector" switch in an earlier post, but the faulty switch is actually the balance control (L to R) ... I'll try Atmasphere's vigorous attack method as that stuff seems to dry instantly and I doubt that it ha... 
Question for technicians
I bought a can of CRC (QD) Electronic Cleaner. I did this before seeing the last 3 posts as I figured this stuff was all basically the same thing. After removing the knob with a small allen the shaft seemed to have no wiggle room going into the fa... 
Best Acoustic Guitar Players Of All Time?
I attended a john fahey concert at the peanut gallery in tampa circa 1977-78. I have quite a few of his records. He has a style of composition and fingering pretty much his own. I still fail to see why anyone would think he is the greatest acousti... 
Question for technicians
Thanks, folks... I was thinking about touching up the solder points but the contact cleaner idea makes more sense to try at first. With me not being skilled at solder, I guess I could actually create additional trouble. I'll see if I can find some... 
How much does your system retail for?
About 2,900 I downgraded my system by replacing a sota nova with a philips ga-212/ma-2002e and am very happy with no plans for further change. (nad 4020 tuner, arc sp9-ii, quicksilver kt88s, Vandy 2ci spkrs)... very budget, but I feel, huge 'bang ...
