| Replacing the stock jumpers on my B&W's Can you bend the spades out a little? The Cardas 3/8 spades will flex just enough to go around the B&W binding posts.I have seen wider spades, but they are usually the cheap gold plated Radio Shack variety. | |
| Nordost Blue Heven vs Nordost Red Dawn? The Blue Heaven have a more "forward" presentation, and a little emphasis to the midrange compared to the Red Dawn, which is more even/flat/neutral; yada yada yada... A tuner is not going to have real deep bass or dog whistle highs like a CD playe... | |
| Just got my B&W Signature 805's long If you add two Stratus III (one for each speaker/channel) even better.. | |
| Fried Amp & Bi-Wiring Just speaking of Bi-Wiring only, having 4 posts does not matter. It is just a convenience thing. The two sets of posts are usually combined together inside the case.You could also order two sets speaker cables combined on one spade/banana which ac... | |

| Buzzing in Exactpower SP15 There...Buscis took the time to explain the problem I was referring to very well. I did not know exactly how the Exactpower worked. But a buzzing unit or transformer in any piece of gear is almost always a problem with DC offset from our friendly ... | |
| Buzzing in Exactpower SP15 I could go easily into a very long explanation. Trying to put it simply......The Exactpower adjusts the voltage and power coming out of it going to your gear. Unfortunitely the quality of the voltage and power going into the Exactpower from the wa... | |
| Power conditioning "Generally" speaking; power conditioning works well with preamps and source components. Most (not all) amplifiers do better plugged into the wall. Especially the larger ones. The only way you'll know for sure, is to try it yourself. If your power ... | |
| FM Tuner in the Integra RDC-7 Can't speak for that model, but Integra (Onkyo) tuners are usually pretty good. | |
| Not a ground loop hum??? All good suggestions above... I had an interconnect hum once because the solder on a RCA plug was cracked, probably from being moved around too much over the years...Resoldering did the trick... | |
| I Just Don't Get Video Yeah...I saw that Faroudja demo at CES also. Very nice. With the big screen they had, I thought you'd comment on the High-Definition life-sized swimsuit models !LOL! | |
| Bi-wire cables with non bi-wireable speakers? Yes, agree... If you can get a good hold on the double spades on one binding post, don't worry about it. | |
| Best Budget Integrated Hands down Sorry, but they are all good. It really depends on your personal taste in sound and type of music. Also maybe what speakers, etc....The only one on that list that I have personally demo'd is the Audio Refinement Complete. It basically is a baby YB... | |
| Dual layer pause when playing DVD's? Most of them pause a little. Just be glad you don't have the Pioneer DV-354. It sometimes shuts off and restarts at the beginning when the layers change. |
