| Help: power problem with Vandersteen 2Wq subs Scott- after you check the outlets with the analyzer, it may be as simple as reversing the connections from the wall wiring to some of the receptacles. Also with 50 year old wiring, unlikely that you have grounded outlets unless they were modified... | |
| Fedex Weekly Damage Report Thats pretty good advice, Mrderrick. I had a 135 lb TV shipped to me cross country by a freight carrier and even tho it was only protected in the original single box it arrived just fine. Freight unfortunately, seems to be generally more expensive... | |
| Help, Strange Static Sound Recurring Please be careful removing and re-inserting fuses while the amp is plugged in!!! In some products, the fuse is "live" and directly connected to the AC from the wall. Your problem is fascinating and we would hate to have your experimentation and de... | |
| Bigger Amp? If you like the overall sound of the McCormack but want to make a significant upgrade, you might try the SMc Audio upgrades. I went from a 0.5 DLX to 0.5 Rev B and the improvement was very significant, across the board. You might want to talk to t... | |
| help with HT setup? DTS not that important, since there is not much DTS software. | |
| Cdr's to play in Res cd 50? You may need to use music/audio cdrs. Some players wont work with the data kind. | |
| What is a good amp that cost no more then 3500.00 Are you looking for a 5 channel amp to match the Yammie? If you are using the Yammie as a pre for music, I would suggest getting a used 2 ch pre and a used amp. Putting about equal $ into each piece (1500-1750 each)would give you much better 2 cha... | |
| How to hard wire? there have been previous threads that address this and apparently there is an adaptor out there (Harmonic Technology maybe?) to go from the two prong to IEC if you don't want to modify the back pane. Run a search and you will get info you need. | |
| Oh, crap. I don't think you did anything to be ashamed of. The dealer seems to have been in financial difficulty which resulted in considerable aggravation and delay for you. I think that you went above and beyond the call in terms of your patience; I'm NOT... | |
| Oh, crap. Man, I would call that an early Xmas present and thank your lucky stars. My business has been owed money by several developer clients over the years who have gone bankrupt. All I get are loads of incomprehensible letters from the court. I have NEV... | |
| Words From the Wise 1. good electronics with good (no errors of comission) speakers will almost always sound better than great speakers with average electronics.1a. get a decent pair of musical speakers and put most of your money in the electronics. Many very high qu... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? 30 years ago, my future (and now present) wife (bless her heart) insisted on separate bank accounts. So now its just a matter of aesthetics, not $$. | |
| DAC recommendations DK- I've just been going through a general upgrade over the last 2 years, and the CDP is the lone remaining electronic component. My most recent change was a substitution of the 0.5 Rev B for the 0.5 dlx I had previously. It is WAY better, but at ... | |
| Pleasant surprises, what have you run across? Wow, talk about a bargain. Here in the east, you're lucky to get an hour or two of parking for the $8. On point, I recently bought a DNA 0.5 Rev B (used) for the same price that I paid for my 0.5 DLX (used). INCREDIBLE upgrade. Now it makes me wan... | |
| how many channels? You will need five channels plus an amplified subwoofer for 5.1 (DD or DTS). If the 995 has separate pre and amp outs for each channel, you could use a 3 channel amp and use the Yammie for the rears, but the wiring gets pretty hairy with some much... |
