| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 Bvidiman- Thanks for your comments. To add to your list, the two pieces here (SP-9 & D-130) both came w/ fixed cords.To put a 20A IEC on a low draw device without a disclaimer in the manual, to me implies that a 20A rated cord is required alon... | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 Bvdiman: "All" equipment? No way. Dig up some rear photos and take a look.The DS225 has a 15A connector. The Ref150 has a 20A. ??Why the Ref75 has a 20A connector baffles me. ARCs selection - based solely on amp power rating - is a mystery (to me). | |
| Power cables for ARC Reference 75 The question is why a 75W amp has a 20A IEC connector, when ARCs larger amps have 15A connectors. Very odd... | |
| Heads Up: ARC is introducing the new SP-20 in Fall I think the SP-20 is an attempt to make up for the oddball knob-less SP-17, which, AFAIK, garnered only 1 review.When trying to figure out manufacturing costs of the unit, everyone has ignored the custom ICs required for the touchscreen control di... | |
| Audience AU24, are they good? I'd certainly like to know which PC took 1000 hrs. to come around; if only to avoid it like the plauge. | |
| Electrical issue Sorry, I missed that line in your original post.Your friend's speakers(unamed, but let's assume the same as yours) hummed at your place. You've gone only half way; do yours hum at his place? Do his hum at his place? That's all the matrix you need ... | |
| Anyone using the Clear Audio Virtuoso Wood? Formerly. It was OK in most respects, not terribly exciting, and certainly to very dynamic. I also had a bit of an issue with warranty issues, the US distributor, blah blah.I'll just remind everyone, that you'd better check your new cart *very* ca... | |
| Electrical issue After reading all these, (and you didn't specify what the borrowed speakers were) I'd *really* suspect your power amp.Followed by the speaker cables. One of the two; doesn't matter the order. | |
| Any advantage or dis whn bolting rack to wall????? Seismic tie-down bracing. Same for record racks (especially). | |
| Poor man's IC cooker? The prob w/ FM is that there isn't anything below 50HZ or above 15kHz. And there sure isn't anything resembling dynamics...I built the Hagerman and it works OK, though not as flexible as the Audio Dharma. I also am running the Isotek CD w/ great r... | |
| auxillary ground question Let me count the Code violations.You need professional advice, not the um, "advice" above.Contact your local utility about whole-house surge protection. You'll also want the secondary level for your equipment.You get what you pay for, and uncredit... | |
| Skewed cantilever Uh-oh.You'll have the devil trying to get HTA set..actually, you can't. Using meters on a cassette deck or CDB, you may see channel imbalance...probably will.You didn't say the age of the cart, if it arrived outta the box this way, or if you may h... | |
| A Very Long Primer on Record Cleaning Fluids Wonder what Art du Son is, with the partially dissolved solids, not unpleasant odor,...Nice piece; thanks. | |
| Seek cartridge w/ following description : They all have 'speed'--Don't know anything about seating row positioning, except laid back vs. forward presentation--And the trade-in price I paid still leaves me woozy since it's the most I've ever paid for a cart, and it only has 60 hrs on it, a... | |
| Help with phono cartridge loading/ARC SP6B preamp Don't you have an owners' manual? If not, consider obtaining one from ARC to answer all your Q's. |
