| Power cable polarity In the USA: electrical code requires the hot(120-130V/60hz/usually black) wire from the home's breaker to connect to the brass colored screw on an outlet(the right slot from the front), and the neutral wire(no voltage/usually white), to the nickle... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Music has been a great love of mine for that past 45 years. If what I hear in the home doesn't live up to what I hear live(two or more times a week, acoustic and amplified), I can't get enthused at all. Most of what I own didn't cost much but my t... | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp I've been trying to remember where I hid it myself. If I could: I'd pay off my mortgage!! | |
| Tube Amp Help/Problem At what position is your control during normal listening/loudest volume? If this noise is present at normal volume control levels: As Newbee stated, you may be using noisy tubes or have a cartridge output/phono amp mis-match. Tubes purchased for p... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Onhwy61- And which of those companies offers a 500wpc power amp for $2500.00?(Read the original question) I know beyond doubt there are a lot of people that are happy with a "softer presentation" or a "warm, sweet, fuzzy, tubey" or whatever sound ... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's My digital source is a BAT VK-D5(6 NOS Siemens CCa's). Analog- a Denon DP-75(custom plinth)/Magnepan Unitrac I/Denon 103D. I'm bi-amping a pair of modded Maggies and some 8' folded, tapered, transmission lines, loaded with Nestorovic 10" woofers(I... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Like I said: It's a short list(BUT an excellent one). The only one in Indiana is Sony DADC(Terre Haute). I've cherished the output of 20 of those studios/engineers on the list for years. | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Is that an SADC Sony? A lot of people have had them modded to tame a strident top-end. I'm not certain about the other Sony CDP's, but I would upgrade that(or audition something better) before making any other changes. Any kind of curtains between... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's OOPS- Make that: "acoustically"! | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's The only difference you'll see with the pre-amp is, perhaps, the need to turn the gain up slightly. The output voltage for each channel will be split between the two channels of the respective power amp. Of course: each channel will have twice the... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Shadorne- I'm certain there are quite a few brands that I've not worked on in the past 28 years, and you're correct: EMM Labs is one of them. Meitner has been designing High-end audio for years, so I'm not surprised he uses quality components in h... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Elevick/Tsvisser/Davemitchell have all made excellent points. I've worked on High-End and pro gear for years, and have yet to see the pro gear built with the quality of components(passive or active) that are utilized in High-End audio equipment. T... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Ktrauti- Amplifiers with two outputs per channel have an internal circuit that is the same as a Y connector(except perhaps switched). The amplifier would still see the exact same load. Answers like that are probably why that guy isn't working at t... | |
| Kimber vs. Chord Don't know if this info will help you: (http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablspkr&1211479733) | |
| Kimber vs. Chord http://www.audioreview.com/cat/cables/speaker-cables/kimber-kable/PRD_116464_1584crx.aspx) The Kimber 8TC has been around for awhile, and if you were to buy a pair used, you would have no difficulty selling them for what you paid(in the unlikely e... |
