| using a transformer to separate your gear power Artistic audio: Can you be more specific about the dangers of balance power supplies? I used one for several years and was very happy with the sonic improvements. The transformer was rated at 6.5 kAV, so it was up to the task. Is the problem with ... | |
| using a transformer to separate your gear power I built my own power supply using (as mentioned above) a toroidal transformer and dropping a 230V line down to 115 with 2 balanced poles. It was a great improvement. Equi-Tech makes these types of devices. I will likely use there's in the future a... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... Detlof: I had the same question--does "fast" translate to low capacitance or some other measurable characteristic, or is it a technical term like "warm, dark, dry" (I'm not trying to give anyone a hard time--I posted on the audiophile terms forum). | |
| Certified Tech for Electrohome crt in Northern VA? I don't know anyone off hand but I will check around. I used to know someone in the Southern Maryland area that serviced Northern VA. However, I am interested in your projector. I've considered this projector for a new theater. Where did you get i... | |
| Speaker ohm's????? There was a good thread on this not too long ago:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1026181509 | |
| A fun idea for Audiogon I agree, great idea. Stereophile does this on their website, but I think the questions would be a little different here. I also think it would be very good for the users to suggest the questions, and then as you say have one per week. The results ... | |
| How to get rid of groud loop noise from dish ? There is also a small coax device designed to get the hum out. Mondail makes one, it's called the Magic Box. I believe Audio Advisor and Audio Outlet both sell it. | |
| CD Recordings..... What Do U Know? Okay, I spoke to a recording engineer that I know. He's forgotten more about this subject than I'll probably ever know, but I will relay what he told me. In the recording process errors occur in producing the glass master from which the final CD i... | |
| Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency? Very good references Clueless. Particularly Everest's book. Although not in depth, it's a great reference book and has about 90% of the equations we use in solving problems. It's also easy to read for the non-technical person as you pointed out. I... | |
| CD Recordings..... What Do U Know? Your right that analog tape won't have jitter issues, but I'm not sure I understand how that relates to this thread. I really would like to understand if these error rates can not be corrected through reclocking and re-recording why do I (and appa... | |
| Need help packing gear....dont have boxes no more I could be going overboard here, but you might consider building a crate that would hold several pieces. It depends on the value of the equipment if it's worth it. If you are shipping by ground (it sounds like you are moving--just a guess). By gro... | |
| Electrostatic speaker cables... I own ML monoliths and have tried several cables. My favorite has been Audioquest Clear (no longer available new--but you can find it on the used market). In my opinion these were some of the best speaker cables made, although I have not tried eve... | |
| Will painting an acoustic panel lower absorbency? Many recordings are very bright and harsh. Particularly CDs that were recorded in the first several years of CD. A dead room might actually help these, so if your collection has a lot of early recorded CDs, the deading effect might be welcomed. Th... | |
| Speaking of scams, how does Paypal work.... Sugarbrie: That's not entirely correct. You are paying Paypal to deliver money to another party. You authorized VISA to pay Paypal, and as long as Paypal delivers the money to the other party then they have met their obligation. It is possible tha... | |
| Why are you listening to that? ? Depends on how I am listening and to what system I'm listening too. Hmmm--guess that sums it up. I can't listen to a poor quality recording on my reference system. But I can enjoy it on my family room / tube and monitor system usually. There are a... |
