| TUNERS..anyone? With Stereophile what I think happened; was when the Rotel RHT-10 came out; the RHT-10 was so good, and the Rotel RT-990BX almost as good, that they knocked some Class A tuners down to Class B when listened to in comparison. So what you read depen... | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring Viggen, My comment to you about not bi-wiring is better comes from earlier posts by others. Unless you tried a double run of the cable you are using for a single, against the jumpers, I am not surprised you may find the jumpers better. Probably in... | |

| TUNERS..anyone? Great Bob. I had the feeling I was the only one who took the time to tweek a tuner setup like others tweek the turntable. The very rare Rotel RHT-10 is one the best in the bass department for a modern tuner. | |
| alternate method of bi-wiring It is actually called double bi-wire when you use two pairs of cables. Shotgun is where you use double cables to non-biwire speakers. Whatever; it should usually work well because you have a higher total gauge for each driver. | |

| TUNERS..anyone? In my experience many mid priced tuners are better than most people think. The reason is cables. In most systems I've seen, including the AudiogoN virtual listings, a lot of folks don't take FM seriously, so they don't use a high end interconnect ... | |
| Is a cheap 350 Power conditioner How big of a power var is needed for a typical system? I've seen models from the 400 (above) to 1200 watts around. Their website has a whole range. Are the lower watt models quieter, etc., or does not matter?Thanks | |
| Rotel Users - Which Amp to Choose Fullrun. I see you have another thread running asking general questions about what amp. Do you have a preamp already or one in mind? 130 watts is more than plenty to power the speakers you have chosen. Those Rotel's are nice, but at that price poi... | |
| Recommendation for amp & pre combo +- 3,000? New or used? | |
| Amp Suggestions For A Newbie - Please First: If you need an amp and preamp for $600 then an integrated is best. Second: Your budget calls for mid-fi speakers, so separates are not going to make much of a difference, if any. So an integrated is the way to go. A preamp/amp would also re... | |
| Integrated amps, need some help I assume you're talking about Richard Moulding at Spearit. I've known Dick for 25 years, since I was in high school (that will make him feel old). He has always had very sensitive hearing, so don't take it personally. I hung out there so much in c... | |
