| Could somebody please explain AFAIK, eclectic just means unusual or difficult to catagorize. Lots of artists are eclectic; right now Im listening to Eddie From Ohio, filed under Pop/Rock at Borders, but I've heard folk, pop, Spirtual, and bluegrass so far this am on this one d... | |
| Good timing for me. The Vandersteens are not typically seen as rockers, but I have owned them in the past and liked them quite a bit. If your amp is running out of gas, you might try a Vandersteen 2WQ powered sub, which would handle the LF which requires large amount... | |
| Did the Cable Guy Do It? Jim is right, it most likely is a ground loop. You can also buy ground isolation transformers or the Mondial MAGIC, both of which go in line with your cable. | |
| New York City -- Martinis, Steaks, Lobsters, Audio Sounds great. Maybe timed with the High End show end of April? | |
| AR-SP16 distortion problem How long are your interconnects? There could be significant signal degradation associated with using 20-30' long interconnects, esp. if they are RCA, not balanced (XLRs). | |
| Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear? Did you consider the possibility that there is an issue with the pre/pro? Try hooking one of your mains up to the center channel output and see if it helps. Worth a try. | |
| Best subwoofer for 2 channel Hi End system Vandersteen 2WQ. Even better, a pair of Vandersteen 2WQs. | |
| No Sound in Left Channel From Cartridge??? I would guess that you have damaged the very fragile cartridge lead wires or clips | |
| best possible indoor antenna Dyna-lab whip is omni-directional when vertical, highly directional when horizontal. | |
| Anyone heard Underwood level1 3910 mod? I will second Eldartford's comments re: workmanship, sound, ease of transaction and timeliness. | |
| Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system? I use Sirius in my car and love it. Course, its no better than FM, since my head unit does not have line-ins, but at 75 mph, I'd be hard pressed to hear the difference. If they had a decent quality home unit with line-outs, I'd probably sell my FM... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Current situation- I have traced the noise to the torodial power transformer on the Supratek power supply. I tested the rectifiers (about 6) that I have and unless every one is bad, my tube tester is on the blink. Anyways, it starts immediately wh... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bwhite- this is new. I had used the Berning and the Joule with no problems. Then the Joule crapped out and went home to Jud for repairs. When I hooked it up upon return, BUZZZZ. Its from the amp, not the speakers. Swapped in a new (old) pre, dead ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Bob- I probably will be selling it soon. I will need to figure out what is going on with the Syrah first. If it has to go "down under" I may hold onto it a while. My general comment is that the Berning is more neutral but the Joule is more emotion... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I need your help guys. Anyone with technical expertise, please chime in. I have already sent an email to Mick. My Syrah seems to be inducing a buzz in my Joule Electra OTL amp. Not in the speakers, but in the amp itself. Loud enough to hear from 1... |
