| But is it HiFi? (Crown) Sounds like a steal of a deal! Best thing is, if you don't like it, the odds are you can sell it for what you paid! | |
| Difference between connecting five pin or RCA to CD player… That is why I use Blue Jeans cables! There are some valid engineering reasons for better cables with optimum design, which translates to better sound. Likewise for power cables. Do consider a contact enhancer, which does make a difference. S... | |
| Mu metal for Brio Integratdd I would look at how your equipment is tied to the electrical grid. Odds are it is leakage from the AC line to chassis to interconnect shields. If you have one power cord it won't matter but if you have two it is guaranteed you have a ground loop... | |
| Couple of OCC Speaker Cable Options @lak Are the MICCA cables a star quad arrangement or are they dual 12 AWG wires? Star quad arrangement is using two 12 AWG wires for red and two 12 AWG wires for black, to one speaker. | |
| Radio Paradise Playlist Hmmmm, we listed to Radio Paradise all the time but I never bothered to look at the playlist. They do have a website where you can donate $$ to their support, perhaps they might have some info on playlist vs. queue. | |
| Subwoofer power conditioner You always want a power conditioner and surge protector. Always. One with good EMI filtering is important. Look for something that will handle an 8000A surge or more and suppress EMI, sometimes called RFI, down at least 30 dB out to 30 MHz or m... | |
| Starting from Basically Scratch. Help me power some Wilson Watt Puppys You didn't mention your budget so frankly, I would just call Hoover Dam and have them run a dedicated 100 KV, 3 phase line out to your house along with a step down transformer to three split phase lines of 230VAC each. Use one leg for the stereo,... | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? That is true about having UPS pack them so they will guarantee it. I forgot about that expensive feature - they charge a lot of money for that. In the case of the CJ Premier Fives, what do you do when they hand you a check for the insurance and ... | |
| QSA wall plates? I am always skeptical of audiophile companies that make big claims for their products but never post any specifications, tests, or even typical graphs of what their components do or how they improve things. These are UK grid units but whatever th... | |
| DENON 3800 red blinking protect mode It is very difficult or impossible to troubleshoot this just from a schematic. One thing is for sure, your power conditioner was not adequate for the surge that came though the line. When you get this system operational again, I would dump the c... | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? PS: I forgot to mention that any MLAS box you get for your amps will likely be in a similar decomposed state - those boxes aren't getting any younger. I never thought about this, but the best way to preserve them is painting them with a clear p... | |
| MLAS 436 shipping carton? My advice to you is this: Make the road trip. First of all, freight and insurance now is horribly expensive. I had to ship my speakers from CA to NY and I had to make the boxes as mine decomposed over the years. I spent a total of $6800 in fre... | |
| A free tweak revisited Yep, that is a psychoacoustic phenomena. You know where the sound is coming from and your eyes are far more objective than emotional whereas your ears are far more emotional than objective. Without your eyes confusing your mind about the sound f... | |
| Anyone familar with the EIZZ EZ-6012D Premium 12inch Tonearm ??? @solypsa Yes, you nailed it: 2K$ is a steal for a great tonearm and a fortune for a bad one. I would add it's a fortune for a mediocre one, too; hence my query posting. | |
| Difference between connecting five pin or RCA to CD player… Not really a loss, it depends on the quality of the cable and 5 pin DIN connector, so a DIN connector can be better than a lesser RCA. I have 5 pin DIN's on two high end tonearms, which are standard factory mounts. RCA's do give you more cable o... |
