| Pass X150 is producing "Pop" during power-down I think you have some DC coming out of your preamp. You might try measuring the preamp output with voltmeter. It's not good for the amp or the speakers. | |
| Revel GEM or Wilson Cub 2 ? The LE1 is not a reliable sub amp according to someone that used to work at Revel. I would go with the B15 subs. I had also considered the LE1 but decided to go with the B15 which has worked well. | |
| Help with decision on selling Sony SCD-1 I have a 777 and recently installed a Superclock 4 and it made a huge difference. A couple of friends heard the difference and since then I have modified three of my friend's 777 players. The cost of the Superclock is about $300 and the improvemen... | |
| Does Shunyata Hydra sound best with just one unit I think the 30A/130A current of the SA4e is probably the output current capacity of the amp, not the input from the wall. If you can plug the Threshold into a regular wall outlet, it should work fine on the Hydra. I plugged two Krell monoblocks in... | |
| Wadia owners- both sets of outputs at same time? Yes, it works. I run my 861SE the way as you described. Just remember that XLR out is 6 db lounder than RCA. | |
| Amplifiers: High Current? High Voltage? Another simple way to look at it to compare a much of AA batteries connected in series to get 12V and compare that to a car 12V battery. Both will put out 12V but the AA doesn't have much current capacity. | |
| Shunyata Python vs. Taipan Helix Thanks for your input. I am leaning towards getting a Python Helix for the Hydra 8. | |
| Anyone ever tried using a power amp to make 120VAC I think that's what the PS Audio power regenerators -P300 and P500 are doing. | |
| Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas? I guess I have been pretty luck with my plasma displays. I have three Fujitsu ()1 50" and (2) 42". One 42" is about 4 years old the other 2 are almost 3 years old. My dad also bought a Fujitsu 50" about the same time and no problem with his either... | |
| Clever Little Clock - high-end audio insanity? The clock is a time machine. It transports you back to your teens wheh your hearing was much better. | |
| Convertion Pass labs x600 from 110 to 220 V? I think it can be done. I did a 120 to 230V conversion on a X250. It was a fairly easy procedure. Call Pass Labs and ask for direction or send it in. | |
| Playing dual layer SACD/CD disc on Sony DVP9000 ES I had the same problem a couple of years ago with my unit and it's related to calibration of the transport. I posted a procedure on fixing this problem on Audiogon but it's gone. Do a search using google or yahoo under sfstereo, my user name and f... | |
| Naming your child after Audio equipment? I had a co-worker named Wadia and went to school with a guy named Martin Logan. | |
| Krell FBP c versus FPB cx I think the upgrade cost is $1K if you ae the original owner and $2K if second owner. That's what I was quoted for a monoblock upgrade. I bought three 350 CXs instead of upgrading my 250Ms. In general, most upgrades are too expensive and you are b... | |
| What can I expect in a UPS damage claim? I had better luck with UPS. I had to make two claims and UPS paid both times. The UPS Claims/Inspector took photos of the damaged items and the shipping boxes. I had to submit repair cost estimates. Payment was made in about three weeks. |
