| Isolated Ground electrical outlets ??? I think for an issolated ground to really make a difference, the component that creates the noise (most likely a digital component like a CD player and DAC) should be issolated from the other components. If they are all on the one ground, whether ... | |
| dis-similar bicables? Why not? The ulimate is on some YBA amplifiers. They have separate binding posts for biwire. On most amplifiers that do this, the signal is the same on both binding posts; it is just a convenience thing. On the YBA the signal for the mids / highs is more l... | |
| PS Audio Juice Bar My choice for something like that would be the PAC Idos or PAC Idos II. Not sure if they still make them, but there is a used one listed here and also at HCM Audio. | |
| Cable Direction Nordost must haved had a change in policy, probably because it caused confusion with other brands. A nordost box I have in front of me sais the opposite (at source) of this below from their website:Question: What direction should the arrows on th... | |
| dis-similar bicables? Why not? Many Single Bi-wire cables use different gauges and composition for the highs and lows. Also, quite a few folks do this with Kimber 4(xx) and 8(xx). | |
| Having a BC 2 gain increased at factory Good point by Dekay. The preamp might be your solution. | |
| were should best cable go - CD or Preamp? As you can read, all opinions differ, so as I said above, trust your own ears. I will add that I have a duplicate cable as good as the one between my preamp and amp, but it does not sound right with the CD player, a lesser one does. The best cable... | |
| I need a bright detailed 300 used speaker cable Nordost would fit the bill, as would the others mentioned above (JPS and A Plus). I guess for $300 it would be a pair of Blue Heaven or a short pair of Red Dawn, | |
| were should best cable go - CD or Preamp? Do you have these cables now? It is best to trust your own ears and experiment yourself. All systems are different. I have my best cable between the preamp and amp, because I also run a tuner, turntable, and tapedeck, so it improves all these comp... | |
| Having a BC 2 gain increased at factory Why are you asking us? You should call Gilbert Yeung at Blue Circle and ask him....(519)469-3215Gilbert is a nice guy and will be glad to talk to you about his gear. If you don't want to call then eMail him at:gilbert@bluecircle.comHappy listening. | |
| Best bookcase speakers for classical music If you are on a budget, I suggest you spend less on the speakers and use some of that money on better amplification. You will be much happier. Assuming you are spending $2K for the Nautilus 805, then a new pair of B&W CDM-1NT will set you back... | |
| If you had 10k for pre and power amp but you had The price of the amp is partially dependent on how much power you require, so the equation cannot be defined by me. All I would care about is whether the preamp was a match or slightly better than the amp. If the amp is better than the preamp, the... | |
| Tone controls to get bass from small speakers? This is nothing new. If you bought a graphic equalizer as was popular in the 1980s you could just adjust the low bass and leave the rest neutral. The problem is tone controls are in the way of the signal path and degrade the sound. I actually have... | |
| Cable Direction Are they Nordost cables? Nordost arrows should point at the source of the signal, not the destination. | |
| better gear, worse recordings Excellent point Samg. The goal is a music system, not a sound system. |
