| Suggestions on SS/Mono Amps for woofer towers Here's a link to the thread about the Perreaux 5150 driving the woofers of an Infinity RS-1B system. If you do a search, you'll also find several comments about Rick's ( aka Rwd on Agon ) experience with a Perreaux PMF-2150 and PMF-3150 driving hi... | |
| How important is a flat response? Flat frequency response is only a portion of what we strive to achieve in a high linearity system. It is quite possible to achieve something that one finds to be "quite enjoyable" without being anywhere near "flat". This is where personal preferen... | |

| balanced power supplies: group purchase of iso...? When you start working with high quality "old school" ultra-isolation transformers, you'll soon realize that most any toroid is a joke. They are used strictly for cost cutting and weight reduction reasons, not for performance. If you can avoid the... | |
| Carver Silver 9T versus Carver Signature Amp I would agree with most of Raygunn's observations pertaining to the original Sunfire's vs the second generation units.

| Marantz sr 9200 peak indicator flashing If those lights are coming on all the time, you're experiencing distortion of the Analogue to Digital Converter ( ADC ). By reducing the input level, you should be able to obtain cleaner sound at the expense of having to crank the volume of the re... | |
| Sunfire amps Thanks for the kind words guys. I appreciate the support. I'm not really "back" on Audiogon, at least not in the sense that i was before. The general consensus from the folks that i've recently spoken to was that i wasn't "punishing" anyone other ... | |
