| Power Strips For an HT, you might consider Monster HTS 1000 or 2000 (or their successor models, if you buy new). | |
| CM LABS Amplifiers, any opinions?HELP? ? Well shucks boys, it seems as tho I experienced a brain fart as I was composing my earlier post. It was the amp that went to audio heaven. Pre is still with us, altho unused for many years. | |
| Another 'hum' thread... That would be my best guess, too, a bad solder joint at the output. | |
| Tarbishaw is back best pre amp for my system. I think my BAT VK3i beat my ARC SP9MKII, at least for line stage. I think the ARC phono stage is better. | |
| Step up device or new cartridge? I assume you have switched the card to the hi-gain setting. If so, it depends on how much you like the cart. I do believe that it is a pretty low output mc and would benefit from a step-up device. The advantage of buying one now would be the abili... | |
| CM LABS Amplifiers, any opinions?HELP? ? Yeah, I had a 911 back about 20 years ago. 150 wpc, weighed a ton. It sounded awesome to me, but that was back in the days when I was making the transition from mid-fi to high end. I loved to watch those big ole meters swing with the bass when I c... | |

| Coupling or isolating floorstan. to the floor? cs- vibrapods are pretty cheap (about $6/each x 3 x 2 spkrs). Using machine bolts instead of the spikes that typically come w/stands couldn't cost more $5 total. | |
| Need help understanding signal to subwoofer There is a substantial amount of information that would be lost if the sub was not hooked up to the HT. The entire LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel would be lost (the .1 in 5.1) | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen Max- takes a big man to go public with a turn-around. Sorry that you had trouble, but glad to hear that it has turned out OK. | |
| Tubes plus SS I'm happy with a BAT VK3i tube pre and a McCormack ss amp. | |
| Should I buy headphones? I guess a lot depends on what your definition of low volume is, but I definately prefer my Senn HD600s driven by a Headroom Home to listening to my BAT/DNA0.5/Vandy 2ci combo at acceptable late night volume. When I have to work at night, I often c... | |
| Best CD scratch repair/cleaning machine Skip doctor, disk doctor, data doctor, all the same product. Cheap plastic construction but it WORKS. |
