| Feed back on ARC Ref II Tube Pre with Krell Amps I once used a REF1 with my Krell 600c with no problems and without the DC block. I wasn't very impressed with the sound of the original REF1 but that was a long time ago. I have never had a problem using my amp with a tube pre but would be careful... | |
| Isolated or Balanced Power on Line Conditioner? The Panamax 5500 has balanced or isolated power. I can't hear any difference between the two in my system. | |
| raising subwoofer off floor by 20 inches I don't know about such a plan. Is it a downfiring sub? If so, it probably should be on the floor. As far as blending better with your mains, try lowering the crossover point. If you want more punch, turn the sub up or place it in a corner. | |
| Are Dual turntables any good? I believe the 701 is the most popular and sells for the most. I have a CS-5000 but I don't use it. | |
| Can I soundproof a rec room that's already built? The best way would be to build another room inside the existing one and try not to let the ceiling and walls touch the originals. Using wire to hang the joists from the existing ceiling will minimize sound transfer. You can use 1 inch metal rails ... | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player I agree my first response was not stated as well as it should have been. | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player Duh! I never said they could. What I am trying to get through to you is that DSD mastered discs are more easily mixed down to 16 bit thus gaining better sound quality than discs originally mastered using PCM. If one can believe a power cord can ma... | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player 1-bit DSD can be down-converted into standard 24, 20 or even 16-bit PCM audio for CD distribution while still retaining the maximum possible audio quality. The system's 2.8224 MHz sampling rate is specifically designed for high precision down-conv... | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player The main problem with standard PCM technology is that it requires both steep (brick wall) filters to block frequencies above 20kHz (specifically at 22.05kHz) which is difficult to build. It also requires the addition of re-quantization noise for i... | |
| More Power is always good? Just because someones spends a lot of money on a 3 watt amp doesn't mean it's necessarily good. | |
| Playing SACD on a Non-SACD Player One still gets the benefits from DSD when playing an SACD disc back in a redbook machine. | |
| Small circulating fan to cool amps It won't cause a problem except for being a wall wart and may take up too much space. A small extension cord can be plugged into the PS Audio and the wall wart can be plugged into it. | |
| Small circulating fan to cool amps I still think you should buy a 12vdc power supply and then you can plug the fans into the wall recepticle like you want to. Get one with enough amp rating to run all three off the same supply. Radio Shack should have them too. | |
| Small circulating fan to cool amps You could get a 12 volt power supply and use the Rat Shack fans. | |
| Pink Floyd LPs The hole punch means it's a cutout or promo. This means it was sold at a very low price or was sent out to radio stations or given away to promote the record. Promos usually have stamps or stickers stating they are promos though. Promos are usuall... |
