| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' I hadn't been down to the basement to look at his work- here's what we have right now: a Square D subpanel is feeding off the main panel, fed by a metal insulated cable that appears to be close to an inch in diameter. No further work has been done... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' Many thanks to all of you, and to Nsgarch, for the timely responses. Work will be done by the book, according to Code and to Hoyle. The balanced power idea is also intriguing. I will let you know how it goes and will scream if I have questions in ... | |
| What would you buy next? What is your room like? Have you investigated what some modest room treatment will do? The addition of some RealTraps, or equivalent, don't cost much, and make a noticeable difference in performance.Perhaps not as exciting as a new piece of equipm... | |
| Best monitor for female vocals? If you can live with their limitations, the old Quad (eg 57) is breathtaking. | |
| Avantgarde Duo set up. Yep, I was a little confused about the reverse polarity comment as well, since it sounds like, to invert polarity on the woof, you'd need to change both the mid and the tweets relative to the woof.One suggestion that Jim Smith makes, aside from ho... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? EBarker- I saw the pictures on the 6moons site of their visit to Definitive UK, and sent Definitive an email inquiring about the source of the wall rack, which looked like a simple affair. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have a brick wall in the roo... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? OK, here's my compromise right now, with the concerns some of you expressed clearly in the forefront of my mind. The folks at finite elemente were kind enough to credit me what I paid for the Master Reference wall shelf toward the heavy duty (rate... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? One other issue I am facing with the bigger Kuzma table is physical isolation. The Kuzma Reference is pretty good on its own, given that it has a suspension. The XL does not, and unfortunately, my listening room, for now, is at the top of the hous... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? Thanks for the comments so far. Sorry to push a hot button on the bass issue SirSpeedy. No agenda here, just plain ignorance. :) | |
| HDTV & current DVD players - What do WE do? I have been using an HD Leeza for a couple of years with a cheap DVD player that has been modified to output in SDI. The signal is processed in the digital domain on thru to the projector- a 1 chip DLP by Marantz. The picture is far, far more invo... | |
| Stepping up to Air Line Arm? And, what about bass 'thwack'? | |
| Where to see Audio in Manhattan I knew the STereo Xchange back in the day... Walls of used ARC preamps, the big ones, a Goldmund Reference set up for play, every variety of odd-ball speaker system, double Quads, big-ole Infinities, etc.It used to be a mecca for used equipment, a... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment Trelja- As in sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but...:) | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment Luke- I didn't take your observations as ones soley attributable to AN equipment and didn't read your question as an equipment 'challenge' by brand- rather, I thought you were making a more general statement about what separates the 'best' reprodu... | |
| What sounds more musical than audionote equipment I am with you Luke, but part of what you are describing, at least to me, is a great musical performance in and of itself. In other words, a fabulously 'musical' system in your terms will not convert an otherwise uninspired performance into somethi... |
