| SPeakers 90% of your sound Sorry, Phasecorrect. I obviously took your words only at face value. Did I mention I'm a fundamentalist? Yup. Metho-Baptyrian.-IMO | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Phasecorrect, that's silly.If you or anybody else in this thread really believe that there are only very minute differences at best between a $500 amp and a $5000 amp, well...,..., let's just say you must be looking at the wrong amps or you're sho... | |
| Audience cable opinion, anyone? Au24, Maestro.... Gofaststang, I noticed very little break-in period. This would coincide with Audience's literature on the speaker cables stating an initial 4 hours (I believe) break-in period followed by a complete break-in period of 50 hours.Perhaps you are expe... | |
| Audience cable opinion, anyone? Au24, Maestro.... For the money, the Au24 is the best speaker cable I am aware of. Not that I've listened to every cable.Across the spectrum, they eliminate or minimize much time-smear and grain that is found in some to many cables.In my experience, the Au24 speake... | |
| Did I make a mistake with my Nautilus 805? No offense to anybody here, as I've been wanting to say this for a long time, but I just couldn't find the right thread to say it. I figure this one is as good as any."It's not the ones in prison that disturb me. It's the ones who have not been ca... | |
| Why does this Biwire set-up not work? Anything's possible, but I'm guessing it won't make any difference.And if you do not notice a difference, simply sell one set. -IMO | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Excluding the room, out of all the components that make up a system, the amplifier is far and away the most underrated, has the most shortcomings, and faces the greatest challenges.The fact that everybody thinks it's the speakers is PROOF! that it... | |
| Floorstanders over Suspended Hardwood-Help Please Depending on which mfg'ers points (points is trademarked by Star Sound for their Audio Points) you are using, any alternative strategy will most likely seriously compromise the sonic benefits of such Points(TM).Not to mention the other alternative... | |
| SPeakers 90% of your sound Room 70%Amp 8%Speakers 7%Source 5%Pre-amp 5%Cables 5%electrical tweaks 5%Racks, points, 5%Total = 110%. That sounds about right.Of course, aside from room percentage, any one of the other category percentages could weigh in differently depending o... | |
| What is your favorite low-tech tweek? I should list most of my tweaks as it's difficult to determine what the benefits of one would be without the other tweaks already in place.With that said, my most favorite low-cost tweaks thus far include:1. Installing Star Sound Technologies' Aud... | |
| Tough Speaker choice, Please look and comment I would recommend you check out the Von Schwiekert VR4 Gen III SE which retail for $6k.I've not listened to these yet, but I've been hearing some excellent buzz about the Gen III SE from friends and read a review or two.At the very least read the ... | |
| Balanced Power Karls, yes, that is true. However, in keeping with the original poster's question, I was addressing the house wiring/service panel only. Also, since I've been wanting to do this only for my amp, thus leaving it at 230 volts and converting the amp ... | |
| Balanced Power For those that like to read, I've attached a url from Equi=Tech's website along with one paragraph:http://www.equitech.com/articles/bpng.html.Tphalieros, perhaps this is what your original inquiry was about. The defining paragraph states: "Balance... | |
| Balanced Power Karls, what would be the purpose of an isolation transformer? Could you be thinking of a down converter? A down converter would be required if somebody has set up a 230 volt circuit/line (balanced power) at the service panel with the intension of ... | |
| Balanced Power Ed, any time you have a circuit where the opposing phases cancel each other is also known as balanced power. Whether it be +60 and -60 or +120 and -120.To the best of my knowledge anyway. I've read many of the papers found on Equi=Tech's website s... |
