| Mods for a PS Audio HCA-2? I can spend a half an hour picking this amp apart in terms of why it is poorly designed and add links to where people found it to change sonics into different loudspeaker loads due to poor stability, but i'll just say "buy and use what you like". ... | |
| VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects Throw them in the mail to me with funds for return shipping. I have no problems doing this for you. Send me an email and i'll forward my shipping info. Figure 5 - 7 days on the burner with 2 - 3 days transit each way and you'll still have 25+ days... | |
| Comparison of Tube Output CD Players I don't want to side-track this thread, but i find Howard's comments about the Pass amps interesting. My experience is that they simply pass ( no pun intended ) what is fed into them. If you have a good source and preamp, you have good sound. If y... | |
| VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects No type of burn in disc will ever achieve what a cable burner can. That's because the line level components in your system are basically limited to 2 volts of output at the max. If running them between your preamp and power amp, they probably won'... | |
| Mods for a PS Audio HCA-2? Fiddler: Fast amplifiers have wide bandwidth, they don't ring just above the audio passband, they reproduce square waves easily, etc... This amplifier fails all of those tests as can be seen in the Stereophile test results of the HCA-2. Having sai... | |
| What is The Best DVD player for VIDEO? Save your money and look for a Panasonic that has the features that you want. Phenomenal bang for the buck and they don't sound all that bad in stock form either. If i didn't want to have SACD & DVD-A capability, that is what i would have done... | |
| Denon 2900: Questions, comments Flex: Thanks for your continued input. It would appear that many of our observations run parallel to each other.Oldpet: From what you've said here, i would think that your unit is not operating properly. You might want to return the unit to where ... | |
| Mods for a PS Audio HCA-2? Audioengr: You can't fix what isn't there. That is, unless you re-design the circuit. If you do that, it is no longer the same product. Other than that, there's a reason that i've always stressed wide bandwidth. In order to achieve wide bandwidth,... | |
| cd transport life ecpectancy My personal experience is that Philips or Philips based units don't last as long as other units. 3000 hours seems very short to me for any CD player though. Sean> | |
| Von Gaylord legend Speakers I agree with Keithr. Very nice sounding but way too expensive for what you get. They do a better job of working with JMLab's drivers than JMLab's does on their own speakers. Sean> | |
| Turning Stereo into Alarm Clock? Various companies used to make their own version of "audio timers" back in the late 70's and 80's. You can find these on Ebay under Pioneer, etc... Don't know how / what they do to the components in terms of messing with the AC delivery though. Se... | |
| Has anyone ever used "stacked" Heresy's While you will gain a little bottom end due to the increased surface area, these speakers still need a sub if you want deep bass. Two Heresy's with subs on each side makes for a "kick ass" rock system. Sean> | |
| Funniest sales pitch If those $50K speakers are "giant killers", the other speakers must literally be "Paul Bunyan" sized : ) Sean> | |
| Does anyone outher upgrade Adcom GCD-750's??? Chazz: I too thought that the CD having a digital in but no digital out was pretty weird to say the least. Other than that, one of my friends modded his GCD-750 by installing Black Gates, "high tech" diodes, etc.. and thougth it really woke it up.... | |
| Impedance Question: Tube Preamp with SS Power Amp In well designed equipment, all impedances should match. This would give us the greatest power transfer, highest levels of linearity and least amount of signal reflections and the associated ringing that takes place. Since we aren't dealing with w... |
