| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon May sound circular and stupid, but everything is everything. In other words, everything matters, the weak link in one's system can be anything, I can't even begin to make a list of what's most or least important.And then, if that's not enough, thi... | |
| Mellencamp on Music Business Shouldn't the consumers blame themselves for this state of affairs, the masses wouldn't know 'quality' music if it hit them right between the eyes.I also don't believe consumers have evolved, rather they have devolved, popular music increasingly g... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Your best bet, do all the above! I've done everything but the balanced cable (too much SE equipment I love), clean AC is quite an advance in sonics.Also, if not previously mentioned, make sure you have a good solid house ground. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Sounds like you respect these guy's opinions, seems your bound to try their suggestions.Don't you find it odd the one guy "strongly advocates" cables he carries! Now, to be fair, perhaps he has tried many others, still....Advocating only stock pow... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? A balanced transformer didn't eliminate my problem, I do agree it eliminates a lot of garbage riding on lines.A transformer and balanced cables may or may not do the trick for Tmmesselt. | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? I can also understand why lifting the grounds on amps has no effect. I surmise the garbage is riding on grounds through rest of system. Was always there, other amps may have had better filtering or ground potential has changed. Again, lifting the ... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Jea, I can only go by my experience, exactly the same problem, dedicated ground fixed it and a nice sonic boost to match. I'm also not saying it can't be RFI, just a long, long shot. He didn't have the problem with the other amps and same cable, p... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Cables are not going to fix this issue, picking up RFI from the furnace is the longest of long shots, and they didn't do it with the other amp, should tell you something. Ground potential is somehow different with new amps, I don't know why.I can ... | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Self-assurance is the best way to deal with negativity, who cares about his opinion.Anyway, its all about synergy, does he have some magical cable that works for every system. If he does his name must be Merlin, or maybe God. | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Strange that you didn't hear this with the prior amps.I had exactly the same furnace ignition 'click' with my dedicated circuits. It is the grounds which are contaminated, they feed household garbage through the ground. The only cure that I know o... | |
| capacitors With that budget for those size capacitors I don't think you'll find happiness. The best quality, relatively low priced caps I've heard are the Jantzen Z-Superior copper caps, $44 a piece in 10uf value. Available at partsexpress.com | |
| Baby name opinion.... Going with Markphd here, stereo doesn't sound feminine to me. Generally, spanish masculine ends in o, feminine in a. How about Sterea! | |
| Beatles Remasters? And to add to photon, Michael Jackson supposedly owns 50% (Northern Songs) of publishing rights to Beatles catalog. Seems to me, none of the entities are willing to work together to get remastered material out there. This is one of the biggest tra... | |
| Cardas G R power cable "SOUL" of musician I describe GR cable as musical, I suppose you could call that soul.I've tried tons of cables in various systems over the years, some do some things better, GR's just seem to have some holistic something that's made them keepers for me for aprox. 1... | |
| capacitors My experience suggests changing out loudspeaker caps first is biggest bang for buck. Don't listen to the naysayers, changing out caps can result in great improvements.As far as cost, the best is going to cost dearly, lots of choices at lower price... |
