| mixing old and new components Go ahead. One system of mine has a 2002 model amplifier being fed by a preamp that was first sold in 1985. It has a 1972 vintage turntable with a 2001 vintage phono cartridge. The CD source is 2000 vintage; the FM tuner is 1978 vintage. Finally, t... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? Why are we giving Albert the credit for Pbb's thoughts? | |
| Does the Meridian 508.24 invert absolute phase? I emailed someone at Meridian for a definitive answer. I honestly don't what that switch does. I just know that absolute phase is not always what you assume. The Rotel manual clearly stated that their phase switch only affected the polarity of the... | |
| Garbage in - Garbage out? There is really no other way to evaluate what effect the other system components have on the sound without the speakers. The system is built around the speakers for the most part. In the end you are matching to the speakers, more than solely evalu... | |

This is not the same as inverting absolute phase. It is more similar to reversing the AC plug polarity, which is... | |
| Power Line Pillow As in all things, personal taste matters more than anything. I find the BC86 removes unnatural grain and other noise from the sound that certainly makes the highs less. But it is less of a bad thing for my taste. To my ears the reduced noise impro... | |
| Power Line Pillow Yes..Denman is on to something. Try various placements. I've found that I could alter the effect of the Noisehound(s) by changing what outlets were used.This is definitely the case when plugging one into a conditioner. Some conditioner outlets (li... | |
| Connect dac to Music Hall CD-25 or upgrade? I completely agree with Mattybumkin. Start with the power cords before spending big $$ on a new player. I tell people the same thing about the Cambridge Audio D500(and SE) CD player. Those stock Cambridge and Music Hall cords put a metallic glare ... | |
