| Classe Amp buzzing/humming...any ideas?? I had a similar issue. Since I knew my amplifier's circuit was on the opposing phase/leg at the service panel, I moved that circuit to the same phase/leg (at the service panel) of my other components. As I was curious to see what sonic benefits wo... | |
| Review: Pure Note Epsilon Reference Interconnect Sonic, nice review on the PN's. I've had the Epsilon Reference in my system for several months and have been quite pleased with them.Pure Note was great to deal with. My only concern is the very short 15 trial period. It's barely broken a few days... | |
| Aerial replacement for 10T ? Subaruguru, I suppose it's a good thing you don't live half a mile from Boeing or else nobody reading your posts would want to fly a commercial airliner. I can't help but think of your post the other day where you claimed your homemade power cable... | |
| Why no remote? Albertporter, would you care to go into a bit of detail about your thoughts on the Callisto?And did you happen to see a mfg'er named Foundation Research at CES? They have a $6k preamp called the 'V6' that apparently has made quite an impression at... | |
| Why no remote? Sometimes it's not just economics, it's a compromise or lack thereof. Some are not willing to compromise the sonics, no matter how small, for convenience. From what I can tell, most of the best pre-amps do not have a remote. i.e. Asthetix Callisto... | |
| Unsettled and considering changing stuff Jeff, that's alot of stuff you have there.I'd like to suggest a few inexpensive changes to see if that gets you anywhere:1. I don't see any electrical tweaks in your description. Assuming it's not, get the BAT VK-500 onto it's own dedicated line. ... | |
| Digital isolation. Am I doing this correctly? Warren, some line conditioner are better at bi-directional line conditioning than others and often times will state so in their literature. Filtering the noise going to the component and back out into the line.Whereas others are absolutely one way... | |
| Guilty Pleasures: Throwaway Pop Phasecorrect, aside from Cheap Trick, your impeccable reputation remains intact. Mitcheft, on the other hand, has some serious explaining to do. :)Some of my fun oldies but goodies that also show some pretty good sonics (though not every track) in... | |
| Marketed to death FedEx has been a nightmare for me to deal with. Since I became a member about 5 weeks ago, I've spent about 6 hours on the phone with my FedEx rep and others just trying to schedule for 3 pickups.Tremendous disorganization.I believe their handling... | |
| Nordost Valhalla - Opinions please Tok20000 mentions some good points.As a side note, I do not see in your system description that your amp is on a dedicated line. Your amp is drawing enough current that if there is even one other component sharing that circuit, you are probably ch... | |
| Best speaker in the $4-6k range. I'm with Tireguy on the Krell gear. But I'm also not much of a B&W speaker fan.Nevertheless, I believe you'd be hard pressed to find a better deal in your price range than the Aerial Acoustic 10T speakers. The 10T's are an excellent bargain us... | |
| Pre-amp suggestions Yup, Chick. That's what they always say.-IMO | |
| Pre-amp suggestions I brought home the CJ 14 to demo some time ago. I thought it was pretty poor sonic-wise and wasn't impressed with it's build quality either.To be nice, I thought it's presentation was quite subdued to say the very least. My guess is the concerns y... | |
| 35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'? Unsound, as one who watches TV mostly just for Fox news, the no spin zone, I ain't buying the video analogy. If the majority of the members here on A'gon did most of their audio shopping at Best Buy, then your video analogy might make sense. But a... | |
| Choice of Wire for Dedicated Line Subaruguru, I've heard good things about the Belden cable you sell. However, I'm finding it extremely difficult to believe that any wire is 'noise free'. A wire may be very good, but without proper line conditioning, I doubt that anyone could make... |
