| Troubleshooting help please Why would this be a problem? I would not consider that to be something that required repair. I would say it is a result of of the gain structure of the preamp. Don't worry about it. | |
| Shorting Plugs and Non-shorting Plugs - Wothwhile? Not for your problem. Try disconnecting cable tv line and ground and see if that makes a difference. Have you tried the preamp headphone combo at another location to see if it's still there? Take it to a friends house that doesn't have a humming s... | |
| Best Nancy Wilson CDs I'll go with "The Swingings Mutual" which I have on cd. The tunes are short and catchy with a few instrumentals. The recording quality is very good considering the 1960 vintage. It possesses a lighter, lively frequency balance than many other reco... | |
| Narrowed speaker selection down to 5 choices Have you tried any room acoustic treaments? You claim the speakers sang in your old room. What guarantee is there that any of the other five contenders will sing any better in this room than the Dali speakers you already know can satisfy you when ... | |
| I am sick of cables Perhaps the best match between components, speaker, room, and expectations permits the use of ordinary cables. My secondary system was magic out of the box. The interconnects are stock Sony es with Radio Shack 16 gauge unterminated speaker wire. T... | |
| Sound Anchor stands/B&W 802N/tweeter height Solda, since you have a wood floor, take a look at Mapleshade.com. They have a spike kit for the N802 and some discs that you can use to protect the floor. I have not tried it. Maybe you can try it and report back. | |
| Sound Anchor stands/B&W 802N/tweeter height Solda, have you tried the factory spikes? You might prefer that setup. It has its plus and minus points. | |
| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment A 400 dollar repair bill on an ampifier doesn't tick me off near as bad as the 500 dollar repair I just paid for a leaking toilet. A house sucks up more dollars than any stereo or car repair, even a BMW, TVAD. | |
| How Important is Getting Your Rack Out I don't think it truly matters. Each install will have its own concerns and priorities. In my main system, the rack is on the side due to french doors in the middle which require access and I really like the view of the doors. Due to this arrangem... | |
| Sound Anchor stands/B&W 802N/tweeter height I fail to see a reason why a 154 lb floorstanding speaker would require a stand. Raising the speaker almost 5 inches would make the tweeter too high. I've used the factory spikes on mine and feel that small rise is even too much. They are sited on... | |
| Small Room - VR4jr or Gallo Ref 3.1 RHLJazz, A decent room/wall treatment on the offending surface would solve the near reflection issue ;~)Barry_e_cohen (Threads | Answers)That would certainly help but a controlled directivity speaker would be better, or something like a Magnepan 1... | |
| Small Room - VR4jr or Gallo Ref 3.1 Bad choice for either. That close to the side walls should have a speaker with controlled directivity. | |
| Tired of Problems with Tube Equipment And it's easier to get a burger at the drive thru @ Mc Donalds than sitting down @ Red Robin. A boring Toyota Camry takes less maintenance than a drivers car like a 3 series BMW.So my point is, some things in life are worth the hassle. BTW just be... | |
| Wooden blinds vs cellular shades for acoustics I have three windows on the left side of my room that measure approx 34x60 ea so in effect the windows dominate that wall. I previously had cloth vertical blinds and recently replaced these with solid wood shutters.Sonically, I feel it is an impro... | |
| Vac Renaissance Signature Mark II vs. Cary SLP-05 Try a set of Stillpoints under the VAC. I've tried a lot of tweaks and the Stillpoints make the most dramatic difference of any tweak. |
