| NAD Processor Break in period Doesn't sound like anything that break-in would resolve. I'm guessing that you have lost the previous configuration that was set up in your processor before the processor board was changed. Have you gone through the setup menu yet and re-calibrate... | |
| Best gain clone/T-amp option Monarchy Audio SM-70 or SM-70Pro is a nice, compact class-A amp. Channel Islands Audio VMB-1 mono-block chip amps are also very good.I've owned and enjoyed both of the above.TIC | |
| Ground loop when connecting coax to cable box..... This is a very common problem. Maybe your cable company will fix the issue, however thay may blow you off too. There have been many post regarding the subject here on AudiogoN (search the archives). All you need to do is isolate the incoming coax ... | |
| American made USB DAC's UltraFi and Wavelength are two world-class builders of ultra-high end audio and both are right here in Cincinnati. Both are leaders in the field of high-end USB DACs. Some models will now be less than $1000 used, but they are much more new.Enjoy,TIC | |
| connectng CD player directly to amp, good or bad? It simply comes down to preference. I use CD direct to amp for the simplicity, cost savings and great resolution. I may give up a bit of dynamic drive, but honestly I couldn't tell the difference when I stuck a pre-amp into the mix.If you only nee... | |
| Have you seen this video? Very inspiring I've seen that video before. Excellent! Some great singing and playing, plus a great concept.Superb! Thanks for reminding me of it.....TIC | |
| Toothbrush's featured in Stereophile Humm,What's the problem with testing toothbrushes on animals? When I worked in the Thoroughbred Horse industry in high-school, we used to have the horse dentist visit annually to clean the horses teeth. Should I have an ethical issue with this? Ju... | |
| Integrating subs into 2-channel and home theatre My NHT SubOne(i) has both an LFE input and a line level input which each have their own level/volume knob. This allows me to connect the sub to both my HT setup, using the LFE input, and my 2 channel system using the line level input. It works jus... | |
| Home theater pass-through unnecessary? Mitch,That's why you don't use MAX volume as your reference point. I've thought about that issue and the answer might be to use "loud" on the volume dial as the reference point instead of something like top-deal-center. You might want to choose on... | |
| Home theater pass-through unnecessary? You are correct. You do not need HT pass-through. You can use any unused input and simply calibrate the HT setup using a pre-defined position of the volume control on your pre-amp. When I've done this in the past, I used Top-dead center of the vol... | |
| ARCAM CD73 and CD73T? I believe the "T" designates the ability to read CD-Text. Some CDs have Album/Artist name and track data encoded on them. A player needs to have the ability to decode that information in order to display it.TIC | |
| Amp for desktop system? Sheldon,I have the Nuforce Icon amp/pre-amp/DAC and it is a really cool unit. However I have not yet used it for a desktop system. But I'm moving into a new home next month and will be forced into a desktop system as I'm losing my music room. I ma... | |
| Monitors for Extreme Near-field listening For a desktop system I would buy a speaker setup that is designed specifically for that purpose. I'm moving into a new house and loosing my audio room for the time being. So, I'm looking into building a desktop system too.Here's one that has peake... | |
| Hi-End for Black Metal? Gawdbless,It was 9:06 minutes long. And no, I could not last the duration. I tried twice. Just couldn't do it.....Enjoy,TIC | |
| To terminate.. or not In my opinion BFA style bananas are the best compromise. They always fit tightly, but without the need to "lock" them. Because they maintain constant outward pressure onto the inside of the speaker binding post, they are "self-tightening. This is ... |
