| Sim Audio Moon W5 vs Electrocompaniet Amp Without a doubt, the Moon W-5 is the way to go. It has much going for it, ergonomics, weight, looks, price, and of course the sonics. Sonically, it should blow the doors off of any Electrocompaniet equipment. Assuming you like music with detail.I ... | |
| Which direction would you go? Mike, based on your room description, it sounds like may have some serious room acoustic issues causing the sound to be much more bright and alive than it should be. I would address the room first because some to most of the equipment you list is ... | |
| McIntosh hum problem Amwarwick, I would be very interested in your findings.When I made this change, I was simply trying for some/any sonic improvement. Did not notice any, but I was quite pleased to discover that the amp's transformer hum disappeared.Pleas keep me po... | |
| Amplifier Transformer Hum In my case, (I have many dimmers) all lights would be all the way off but would still get the transformer hum. Dimmers on or off made no difference. Today, the only time I get a resemblance of the transformer hum I used to get is when the microwav... | |
| McIntosh hum problem If you've narrowed it down to a transformer hum, try to find which circuit the amplifier is running off of. Then check the circuit breakers in the service panel. Chances are that your amps' circuit is on the opposing phase of some of your other au... | |
| Speaker Help for 2000 to 3000 It might be hard to find used under $3k, but you might want to give a serious listen to a used black pair of Aerial Acoustic 10T's. Black because they'll be cheaper. Beautiful looks, craftsmanship, and full range sonics. Note: they love lots of po... | |
| Wanna help with my room? I'd like to take a stab at it.o For acoustics, the room should be retangular, not square. o With a 9' ceiling your looking at about a 12' x 18' x 9' which are very good demensions for a music room 13'x17' might be a tad better. (mine is 12.6 x 18 ... | |
| Aerial Speakers for Music and HT I own a pair of 10t's in santos rosewood with stands. Fit and finish are second to none. Bought them used at less than half price and find them to be an excellent value for music and occassional ht. I only have a 2 channel setup with a subwoofer. ... | |
| Speakers for small listening room I would recommend not buying a thing right now.I have no idea what your equipment is like, but my room is 12.5 by 18 and have no problems that I am aware of with the speakers on one of the short walls. I have aerial 10T speakers which would be con... | |
| Hum and the PS Audio P300 I believe you have several possibilities to resolve the hum.1. Disconnect all grounds for all equipment and/or2. Ensure that all equipment is running off the same circuit as the tv/vcr, etc.. Your sonics and equipment especially your amp will suff... | |
| McCormack/Plinius/Krell with B&W N803 I've purchased about 5 amps in the last 18 months. I stumbled upon a 1998 copy of International Audio Review where Peter Moncrief had rated about 20 tube amps and then about 20 solid state amps. He really put down the Krells and Mark Levinson amps... | |
| Is Acoustic Zen better than Harmonic Tech? I've purchased Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun's (bi-wired) but had also demo'ed Harmonic Tech's Pro 11 just prior to purchasing the Zen's. I did not have these cables side by side or even under the same roof at the same time. But I could not perceive... | |
| Problem with hum in the pre-amp Can't say this will work, but it did for my amp's transformer hum. Try to find which circuit the pre-amp in question is running off of. Then check the circuit breakers in the service panel. If per chance, your pre-amp's circuit is on the opposing ... | |
| Balanced connection There are some products, amps in particular, where if you are running balanced or mono, then you must install the RCA dummy plugs or sometimes called shorting plugs. Apparently these actually short the connector at that point. I don't understand i... | |
