| Change from Spectral Unsound, I guess if both are designed to use together, I would think that would be best.I don't think it was cap coupled, and I was not the only person having this happened to them. Perhaps later versions had caps added. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object Paulficarella, IMHO the H-Cat P-12R kills the ARC Ref 3 at a lower price. YMMV. | |
| acoustic system resonators Kal, we are dealing with what we hear, not with what a sample hears. This is not science but rather preference. If you don't like what you hear with the resonators assuming you can overcome your predilections, that is fine and were I to hear of it... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? Joeyboynj, I found the PS Audio regenerators removed the dynamics from the music. I did try to use the units for a long time before giving up. Maybe my horn speakers and their dynamics made me more conscious of this. | |
| Change from Spectral Unsound, I am sure that it is because of dc getting to the amp and frying the speakers. This did happen to me a long time ago when my ARC SP6 turned off at low voltage and turned on again putting out dc into my Electro-Research amps and fried my L... | |
| acoustic system resonators Kal, as a scientist also, I am ever mindful that every discipline sets its own paradigm as to what is true, and tends to disregard contrary evidence until it is overwhelming. I am also mindful that believing something can make no difference also p... | |
| acoustic system resonators I have the halographs, 2 pair, Shun Mook mpingo disks, Brilliant Pebbles, and the H-Cat line stage with its WTC. All of these interact. I will not spend time talking about when I had RoomLens, diffusors, TubeTraps, etc. They are all gone. I have l... | |
| Anyone else regenerating A/C? I never met a surge protector nor a regenerator that I could like. I have found very few ac filters or conditioners that don't harm more than they help. | |
| SET amps and speaker sensitivity. Basically, unless your speakers are 93db or more efficient, forget the normal SET. I grant that there are more powerful and expensive output tubes that could be used with less efficient speaker, but few rival the sounds of 45, 50, 2A3, or 300B SETs. | |
| Change from Spectral You are seeking protection from dc getting to your amp and frying your speakers. I am sure that a good technician could put a cap in either your line stage or amp to block it. It might affect your sound, however. Designers would prefer there being... | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? grahamester, as I said above, I have tried it. | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? Psychianimal, thanks. He seemed to suggest that they don't trust distilled water and do use RO systems for their water. I do have a two stage unit. I guess then the question becomes does it make any difference in cleaning records. | |
| Whats the best record cleaning fluid? For about the last 30 years I have used just about every fluid, brush, and vacuum made. I actually started with the Keith Monks vacuum but sold it as a pain in the ass. I have had a noted chemist and audiophile "design" a cleaning fluid, which was... | |
| What is the best DAC ever made? It is the eternal quest to seek the best. Don't rain on our parade. Certainly there will be little consensus. If we realized how little, this forum would not exist. | |
| Accustic Arts Pubul57, see http://www.halcyonics.de/en/products/micro.php?navid=14&topId=13 This will at least give you a picture. I cannot really say what the price is as this is in flux. It is in the $8000 area, however. Yes it is very expensive but then ... |
