| Bryston vs. Plinius In that respect, my first hand experience is that Bryston amps are not well suited to low impedance / difficult loads. You can find a few others stating similar opinions in the AA archives and in Stereophile via their review of the 7B monoblocks. ... | |
| What interconnects with SACD 1000 ? IA: I agree with your initial comments about the SACD 1000's tonal balance. I stated much the same thing in my very first post about the unit i.e. it had a strong bottom end and lacked top end extension and "air". Obviously, these were my results ... | |
| Thanks to all the participants and respondents I don't know what you have for cabling, but you should have a very nice sounding system. I don't know if everything would be optimally matched, but with the quality of components being used, i'm sure that it will sound very nice none the less. Sea... | |
| AC in-wall cbl for ded circ - enlighten the idiot Most bang for the buck will be 10 gauge solid copper with the hot and the neutral twisted together. The ground should not be twisted in with these but pulled through on a straight shot. You can buy twisted pair electrical wiring that will meet cod... | |
| Whats wrong? Several factors could be at play here.First of all, i don't think that anyone here would consider a computer cd / dvd rom drive and sound card mounted inside of a tower to be a good digital source. Others that are more familiar with such an instal... | |
| Why do AC cords make so much difference? I agree with Twl 100%. As such, power cords would NOT make a difference if the gear was built to a proper level to begin with. As i've mentioned before, the more susceptible to AC power cord changes your gear is, the more under-designed that it is... | |
| Bryston vs. Plinius What impedance are the Totem's ? Sean> | |
| interstage transformers vs. coupling capacitors Sorry to sidetrack the thread here, but Twl inadvertantly brought up another point that i don't think that he was even aware that he was making !!! Since OTL designs would typically have a higher output impedance, wouldn't it be able to control / ... | |
| How could High End audio be improved? This is a multi-fold problem. First: The price of most gear is ridiculous. This needs no expounding upon.Second: "Hi-end" has very little exposure into the mainstream. When people do become aware that such a thing exists, they are then greeted by ... | |
| Need Help In Matching Preamp to My Moscode Hi Evelyn aka "heart sees wisely" : ) One of my friends has modified Moscode 600's that he runs with Acoustat's. He's had at least a half dozen different preamps and is currently experimenting with a NAD that he says sounds surprisingly good but s... | |
| Static problem? Try this Banksfriend: Not after a big bowl of Chili you don't : )I simply placed a point to ground myself out on each of my racks. I touch it prior to touching any of the gear. This is a sure-fire method that doesn't leave anything to chance. As far as usi... | |
| Depth vs. Cable Type Dekay: I've used those "budget" RS RCA's before on some interconnects that i was experimenting with. The cables sounded horridly bright and smeared on top. I changed RCA's and things were much better. Sean> | |
| To Power Condition or not? Harley: Are you running all 6 amps from the Tice ? Sean> | |
| preamp vs. no-preamp Gboren: You're looking at the subject too narrowlyNot all "preamps" are connected to devices that emit high level signals. There are such things as a phono system, which requires gain prior to being fed to an amplifier. Try running even a high out... | |
| What interconnects with SACD 1000 ? Socrates: Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Nobody is denying that right. If you have a problem with what i've posted or why i've posted something, so be it. Do both of us a favour and let me know. You can post it here or send it to me privately... |
