| Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length Yes, I have a SS preamp, but I'd be looking at ICs on the order of 20' or so. | |
| Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length That's what I suspected. So, in a case of an RCA IC, is it still a better idea to go long IC / shorter speaker cable? | |
| Speaker cable vs. interconnect cable length I'm reviving this thread, becuase I am now faced with the same situation. It seems that if one has to look at long ICs, using balanced is recommended. But what if (as in my case) my amp only has RCA inputs? Is there any value at all in using a bal... | |
| Goertz Bi-wire or something else Sean, I hate to go off on a tangent, but you raised some good points about long cable runs for speakers. Is there any general consensus (assume a well behaved SS system) for using long IC runs versus long speaker cable runs? Assume RCAs for the IC... | |
| Great service from Mark Levinson and Madrigal Get ready to pay $1000 just to have them look under the hood. It's their new customer-friendly policy. | |
| Proper method when rack is not on cement floor Zargon, much thanks for the detailed information. I should be able to do all that you mentioned (as needed). It's just a question now of getting it all in place. | |
| Proper method when rack is not on cement floor That's a great suggestion, Sean. Thanks. I can easily get a 4x4 cut to the right size at my local lumberyard. But, I have some questions...The room where the equipment will be placed is 11' deep x 17' wide. The floor joists run from front to back,... | |
| Proper method when rack is not on cement floor Okay. Just have to find someone willing to get into that crawlspace! I'm too big a guy to squeeze into something like that. I took another look at it, and it's more along the lines of two feet or so. | |
| Proper method when rack is not on cement floor No problem. Is the idea to "push up" a bit on the jack once it has been put into place? That is, to put some counterpressure on what is probably a sagging floor? If so, how is that done with these jacks? | |
| Proper method when rack is not on cement floor Rushton, that link takes me to a sort of general page on HD. I see no jack posts there. I did a search and found a Tiger Brand selection in HD. Are these the ones you were referring to? | |
| EAD prepro: how's the analog passthru? Thanks Tim. I certainly will try it, but I'm waiting on some stuff before I can. So I figured in the meantime to ask here. Would you say it adds no coloration to your 2 channel signal path? | |
| Anyone remember Square Deal in Patchogue L.I. ?? Used to shop there quite often in the old days, when I was still living on the Island. A good store. Bought a few things there. | |
| question on EAD 8800 Pro ? Yes. Keep in mind that EAD is now gone as a company. Boelen Electronics can service these units (and pretty much all of the older EAD gear). Frank Boelen and his team are ex-EAD people. | |
| How good was the old Wadia 22? Yes, you are correct. Sorry for the confusion! | |
| Help finding used SS with unity gain, $1K - $1.5K I have to admit having fond memories of that Quicksilver (it belongs to a friend who I have sinced moved away from). How would would describe the sound of your Eclipse? What other equipment do you have with it? |
