| Help identifying a ground loop hum Mezmo : from your note it seems that the noise comes from the power supply. If caused by a ground loop or if it´s the transformer itself, just disconnect everything from the preamp and if it still "hums" as you described then you know the problem ... | |
| Isolated Grounding Tom: did you find the most difference in the amp power availability? I´m running two separate 110 volts lines from the main box with 12 gauge each, one for the amp and another for front end components and have been considering increasing gauge for... | |
| Best loudspeaker on the 3k range??? Currently very satisfied with Stratus Gold i. This are an excellent cost/performance investment. Considered the Hales Three as well, but Stratus are easier to drive... Both Stratus and Three got B rating by Stereophile. | |
| Proportional Allocation to Total System 1- 7500 2-11% 3-14% 4-17% 5-7% 6-6% 7-36% 8-8% This is how currently it breaks down. As you have found my experience with speaker cables outweights interconnect changes case in point I went higher (it was first) upgrading interconnects and the dif... | |
| Speaker support for Full range Thanks for your input, 90 lbs each is correct. Could you share what you use under source components? Vibrapods too? Thanks | |
| Best audio mag Currently reading Stereophile and TAS. Different philosophies, tastes and besides the equipment reviews of too costly gear (interesting but not vital for me) I use the mags as a source for music to hear and for tech input. Think a person like Harl... | |
| Bright future for Laserdisc???? Really not promising due to a couple of reasons: First not enough titles specially new available. Higher cost to manufacture related to construction itself (compare polycarbonate ammound used per laser disc and per DVD) and quantity produced of ea... | |

| Paradigm vs. PSB In my previous note please read PSB favours 150 watts @ 4 ohms. NOT B&K. Sorry | |
| Paradigm vs. PSB You might like to check audioreview notes on PSB specilly the golds. I acquired stratus Goldi, 4 months ago and these are a very fine piece to own. Still haven't put better speaker cables and I'm highly satisfied with them. In my case system is al... | |
| Upsampling CD and DAC's Greg: The price differential vs performance is my way to go as well, as a matter of fact I've been far more rewarded by careful setup (vibration damping of components, accoustic treatement and power quality) than fellow audiophiles who think that ... | |
| Upsampling CD and DAC's Drumsgreg very interesting information. Could you please advise what cables are you using from the transport to the Link and from the Link to the preamp. Thanks for your time Luis | |
| Paradigm Studio or PSB Stratus? Hi, I've just finished breaking in my new Golds. I can not comment on the 100's but the Golds have actually surpassed my expectations by far. As with any piece of equipment details and careful setup provides high rewards to the patient one. A coup... |
