| 3 three channel system, anyone? What do you think the center channel is but a combination of the left and right? This is how it was done in the days when 3 channel was common. | |
| 3 three channel system, anyone? My Fisher tube integrated had a center channel power output in the 60s. You can do this with ANY preamp. Get 3 high quality Y connectors, male to two female. Plug one into the right channel and use one of the female plugs to run your regular inter... | |
| Too many power suppplies? Several experts have recommended having your digital components on a separate line from your analog ones. I am currently doing this on faith but have not done exhaustive tests to see if I could tell the differences. I intend to do so at a future d... | |
| Looking For A Remote Controlled Phase Inverter My DAC has a phase reversal switch , although not a remote one. It does make a difference, sometimes a substantial one. It is also a great way to drive yourself nuts flipping back and fourth. As Kal said, it is hard to do this without degrading th... | |
| one large cap, or a few added up? I would do as Al suggests; a method which use to be in vogue was to take one large cap and bypass it with a small one, this supposidly gave much of the sound of the small ones in a simpler configration but it has been a long time since I built any... | |
| REAL WORLD OPINION - ADCOM 555 ii vs BRYSTON 4B In my post I was leaning over backward to be fair. While design is important build quality is even more so and reportedly the 555s from different sources did not sound the same so you do not really know what you are getting. I have not had Bryston... | |
| What cartridge for Systemdek IIX? Denon 110 can be had for $95 and is a very good cartridge. Cheaper now than years ago while its competition has gone up 3-4x. | |
| REAL WORLD OPINION - ADCOM 555 ii vs BRYSTON 4B I do not but bear in mind that the Adcom reportedly was manufactured by at least 3 suppliers. Adcom was only a marketing firm, buying units from OEM suppliers. While Bryston of course makes their own products and can supply parts and do repairs, w... | |
| Silver solder--what wattage soldering iron? I would get a better iron. There are ones with variable power available now that I wish had been around when I could see well enough to use them. I also used Weller, usually 25 watts. | |
| Upgrade amp or speakers? This is a question that no one else can answer. If you are ENTIRELY happy with the speakers then you can change the amp, the sound will probably be different but there is no guarantee you will like it better. The speakers will make much more diffe... | |
| New Aluminum Platter from VPI No apologies needed, I am a former dealer and am one once again after a lapse of 14 years. So I have missed out on much of the recent evolution of the tables and am trying to sort out the present course of the product. My source of knowledge is th... | |
| New Aluminum Platter from VPI On the new CORRECTED VPI price sheet I just received the T-1014 Scout 2 Aluminum plater is $800. No mention of trade in but it may be the same. I too am somewhat curious about the platters. I was a dealer previously and only sold my very early TNT... | |
| Pass Amps Class A operation The sensitivity rating of the speaker is it's output with one watt input. To find out how loud 15 watts would be add 3 db for every doubling of output. IE, 2 watts would be 3 db higher. These are generally measured at one meter so room size and sh... | |
| Switch from Parasound JC-1 to Bel Canto Ref 1000? Audiopile, you apparently have two goals in your posts. The first is to establish yourself an the all-wise audio guru. The second is to exhibit yourself as a total ----. Despite your miserable failure at the first you have succeeded at the latter ... | |
| Turntable Speed Using Strobe 33.3 I use a fluorescent portable shop light which is also handy for other jobs, just a tube with a cord and hooks to hang it and off- on switch. |
