| Issues With McIntosh C2200 Balanced Input Does the Wadia have a volume control that is bypassed when using the balanced outs? Another possibility is the Wadia lowers the gain from the balanced outs to keep from overdriving the inputs of a preamp that is balanced and the the Mac may not be... | |
| Laserdiscs - PAL and NTSC The CLD-97 is the best US player. The HLD-X9 is the best player in the world but very expensive. Neither will play PAL discs. The one you have I believe is the same as the CLD-704 except for PAL playback. Why won't the one you have play here? | |
| Issues With McIntosh C2200 Balanced Input The European and Japanese pin configuration simply uses pin 3 for positive instead of pin 2. This simply reverses phase and will not cause signal loss. | |
| Ground Loop Question Does he have the stereo hooked to the TV? If so, disconnect the coax and see if the hum goes away. If it does you can get a ground break for the coax. | |
| Krell ksa 100 shuts off Get a voltmeter and check the outputs of the preamp. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Yes, the positive inside the jack and the negative outdide. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Just get a regular voltmeter and set it for DC. I don't know how much is too much but if there is no leakage then you should be safe. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? The reason Krell doesn't ship it with the jumper engaged is that they feel it will degrade the sound. And they are probably right. According to the Krell service manual "Full Power Balanced amplifiers use unobtrusive direct current(DC) protection ... | |
| mcintosh & big $ interconnects Good luck, I gave up long ago. It's not that I believe there are absolutly no differences at all but that they are so small they don't matter to me. | |
| Best software to burn a CD from a computer. I like Nero. | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Well Newbee you got me on that one. But just because equipment is old doesn't mean it can't sound good. By the way, BAT has probably fixed the DC leakage problem that they had in their earlier preamps. I guess an SS preamp can leak DC but it is no... | |
| mcintosh & big $ interconnects Maybe there aren't any differences? | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? How can you say such a thing Newbee? If one can hear the difference between cables, one should surely be able to hear a capacitor in line with his equipment. After all, they make a difference in speakers. And if someone did make an amplifier that ... | |
| Krell amps and Tube Preamps - enemies? Tube preamps can have DC leakage that's why they sometimes use coupling capacitors. And since Krell amps have no capacitors in the signal path, they can shut down when fed a signal that has DC present. This also occures with McCormick amps. I once... | |
| Best cheap cartridge for college student Grado's are a good value as well as the Shures. |
