Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel
Was on another website and got some great ideas. Need to check out speaker damping. My speakers sit directly on carpet. They come with spikes but I didn't install them. Maybe I need to use them or put some marble pavers underneath them. Secondly, ... 
Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel
Thanks for the great ideas. I'll give them a try and see what happens when I get the speaker cable back from Acoustic Zen. First, I'll hook up everything as it should be and then wait for the right channel to shut down. Unless AZ detected problems... 
Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel
Thanks for the recommendation. You're right, this is going to take an inordinate amount of time to isolate. I wonder if I should just contact CODA Technologies and cut to the chase and see what they say about the problem. I wonder if the right cha... 
Amplifier Goes into Protect Mode Right Channel

What is a better route, tube or SS preamp?
I agree with Audiolabyrinth. Tube preamp to solid state amplifier is great sounding. I own same. CODA 10.5r solid state amp mated to Cary Audio SLP98L tube preamp. Just make sure you don't combine a direct-coupled preamp with direct-coupled solid ... 
Best preamp 2k or under, new or used
I have an almost brand-new CODA solid-state 05x preamplifier that would probably work for you. It has the full five year transferable warranty available. The unit features full function remote control capability. This solid-state preamp sounds exc... 
Tube preamp for $2,000
If you can find the Mystere CA11, that would be my recommendation. Great value for the price. Last time I checked, they were back ordered six months. Series regulated push pull architecture coupled with 6SN7 tubes and 5AR4 rectifier tube. Piano gl... 
Looking for a good set of speakers cables.
My suggestion would be Mapleshape Double Helix speaker cables with Plus Upgrade. They're very detailed, transparent yet warm, and inexpensively priced. The deep bass and pitch definition are particularly noteworthy. http://shop.mapleshadestore.com...

Power cords for ModWright SCD-XA5400es
Here's my $0.02 worth. I've been using Triode Wire Labs power cords. The value-to-cost ratio is very high in my opinion. The sound definitely improved as each new cord was deployed. Very happy with the product, quality service, and rapid response ... 
Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level?
Thanks for the additional comments. This is very helpful. 
Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level?
Actually, the speakers elevated to ear level sound much better when compared to the floor. Could be my unique room acoustics which may influence the result. I like it!
