| Speaker cable for B&W 703's Here's somone selling two pair of 7' 4TC cables: (http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?cablspkr&1211471382) | |
| Speaker cable for B&W 703's Use the same cable(and same length) for both top and bottom. Mixing cables when passively biamping can result in freq. response problems. Kimber's 4TC and 8TC have been around, and very popular, for a long time. It's hard to beat their performance... | |
| Question on amp power and speaker ohms. Try it set on 4 ohm for a while, then on 8, and see which you prefer. Most tubed amps output less power into 4 ohms than 8(an output transformer winding thing). My Maggies are 6 ohm nominal, and I'm running them on the four ohm taps of my amps. | |
| Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables The Kimber line includes the Silver Streak, which is the only interconnect that has a silver and copper mix of conductors. (http://www.kimber.com/Products/Interconnects/SilverStreak/SilverStreak.aspx) The KCAG is silver and silver, very transparen... | |
| Ultra high resolution Chris- All I can add to what Atmasphere said is, "AMEN". This is an excerpt from the Mark Levinson site: "Another factor in Mark Levinson excellence is the array of the ultra-high performance parts that populate our balanced circuits. Even the cir... | |
| Power factor correction None of the "power conditioners" that I'm aware of are actually correcting power factor. They eliminate the hash/noise/RFI/EMI from the incoming AC, protect from spikes and some stabilize the voltage. Someone out there has probably looked at corre... | |
| Ultra high resolution Joey- Don't worry, It really doesn't. Actually: Some mil-spec suppliers(Vishay, Caddock, etc) are used extensively in the best audio gear for their low noise resistors (http://www.ecircuitcenter.com/Circuits/Noise/Noise_Analysis/res_noise.htm), BU... | |
| Power factor correction An easily grasped treatise on the subject: (http://www.tpub.com/neets/book2/4k.htm) | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? As applies to anything else controversial in audio: For those that can hear the difference, no explanation is necessary. To those that can't(or refuse to) hear a difference, no explanation is possible. You will run into many in life that choose to... | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. OOPS: Make that- neutral on the "nickel". Some further info: (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/electrical-wiring/part1) | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. There is no "polarity" with single phase AC(125-130V/60hz house wiring). You've got a hot(usually black) wire, neutral(usually white), and hopefully an earth ground. An outlet can be "out of phase" with regard to other outlets in the house, if it'... | |
| 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... |
