| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair To Carl - I have made some calls but am not finding it easy to track the individual you refer to. I will probably have success or reach a dead-end this week. | |
| 3 phase electricity If I am understanding you, then 3 phase is an opportunity, not a problem. It means you can select which secondary to be connected to on your local power transformer. One may be quieter than another due to what your neighbours are doing with theirs... | |
| Sub for Martin Logan Aerius I have experienced good results with various REL subs with the Aerius i, when using the power amp's speaker terminals for driving the sub (and so no preamp problems for you). This is in fact the method recommended by REL. The other feature with RE... | |
| Best power cord for amp?? Hi Garfish. You can email me at "mark.jenkins@telecom.co.nz". TPC stands for Tough Pitch Copper, but means the stuff your electrician puts in the wall. To run a dedicated AC feed, TPC is fine in my opinion since the key issues are very tight conne... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Thanks Albertporter. I don't have any immediate response, and will read your post over a couple of times before responding. There is nothing I disagree with, much to agree with, but also some to explore further I think. | |
| Best power cord for amp?? Hi Garfish. This may be bad news, but then again it may be helpful. When running a dedicated AC, it is useful to have first identified which direction of the AC feed sounds best. I discovered this the hard way. I ran the dedicated AC and got a mix... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Thanks Albert Porter. There are some questions I have been meaning to ask you (and anyone else, of course), since we seem to have some things in common. I note that you have clearly spent a good deal of time and money on the issue of vibration con... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Thanks so much Garfish. I have been a little ungracious in my replies to Nanderson, and hereby apologise (again). But years of hearing from the measurement clones trotting out the same or similar stuff has led to me getting worked up about this to... | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair Glad you said it first Carl, as I was not wanting to sound negative - but the Harmonic Technology is horribly over-hyped. I have tried a whole set of their stuff over a decent period and found every one of them had some kind of anomoly that should... | |
| Has Anyone used an Anti-Static Spray I am not recommending you do this. But one tweak in this area is to remove the outer jacket from certain cables. These cables include Straightwire and Wireworld where a cheap plastic outer provides protection from the cable being stomped on. The i... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Thanks Nanderson. But, with respect, I find your criteria underwhelming. I suspect the reason why we differ here can be sourced to your view that software, speakers and room make the biggest difference. This leads me to the view that our perspecti... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Hi Nanderson. I did not mean to offend you and was merely agreeing with Mikela's observation that your arguments were contradictory. But I must admit my language reflected the fact that I was just a bit ticked by the condescention in your post "ki... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? I rather suspect Nanderson will quit while he/she is yet to go around far enough to disappear up where the light does not shine. I too am interested in the way his amp is set up. But I am even more interested to discover the "correct criteria" tha... | |
| interconnect for CAL delta/alpha pair I absolutely agree. I had a Delta/Alpha combination and found the AT&T and balanced connections were best. The AT&T gave a smoother presentation than the balanced and therefore was preferred (due to my Thiel 3.6 speakers working better wit... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Long term listening isn't a trick - it is the objective! If blind testing improves your ability to predict what will work over the long term, then fine. For me it is a pointer only. I am currently going through a choice between two DACs. I have a ... |
