| Isolation transformer I used a Topaz isolation transformer for a few months but have since removed it. The reason is my incoming ac voltage fluctuates between 119 and 127 volts. The output of the topaz had a 2 v gain so when I would have 127v in I would get 129 out. To... | |
| Rel B3 or JL Audio F110 Forgot to mention. Getting the timing/phasing right is the tricky part. I would assume the JL would be the same. On the Rel there is a phase switch 0 or 180 degrees. Then you have to physically move the sub closer or farther to get it right on. On... | |
| Rel B3 or JL Audio F110 Another vote for the Rel (I have the B3) and want to add by replacing the stock Rel cable made the sub a world more musical. Much better attack and decay. I have a Nordost baseline made to Rel spec (there was a $35 up charge for the speakon connec... | |
| From pro to hi-fi and a little confused... The Dynaudio Focus 110a should be fine for rock. That being said I have a pair of the C1 signatures (just upgraded from the original C1) and both do well for rock with me. Some Dyn owners will say the focus and contour line is better suited for ro... | |

| Isolation transformer - does it offer protection The Isolation transformer will protect against spikes but not surges or sags. It isolates but does not regulate. It is just a transformer. | |
| troubleshooting for a lost channel Now that I re-read your question and it only happens with the TT That pretty well says it all. It's either a bad cable or cartridge. If you swap the right and left outputs of the cartridge you will know it is the cartridge or tonearm cable or some... | |
| troubleshooting for a lost channel Start by reversing (left output to the right input) cables from the TT to the pre. If the problem moves to the other channel it is the TT or cartridge. If the problem doesn't change put those cables back and reverse the cables from the pre to the ... | |
| Using a shore power isolation transformer at home? After I had my dedicated lines installed I got a Topaz Isolation transformer. It did drop the noise floor a bit. I have since removed it because even though it is 1:1 there was a 2V gain on the output and my voltage at home varies from 119 to 127.... | |
| Two physical grounds?? If possible it would be best to tie the 2 ground rods together. Elizabeth is right about the possible difference in ground potentials. Otherwise in a worst case scenario IF you had a direct hit by lighting the voltage would jump from 1 ground to a... | |
| Rega Brio R vs. Naim 5i integrateds... I haven't heard the Rega but came real close to getting the Naim. Best Prat I ever heard from a small integrated. Just my opinion. In the end I spent a whole more. | |
| Dynaudio c-2 ...amp advice Mcintosh or simaudio I have no experience with Mcintosh but my local dealer had the Sim line when I listened to C1's C2's and C4's. Great control but overly detailed in my opinion. I found myself not listening to the music but rather all the detail. Some folks love th... | |
| What are some good tube amps that rock? KT88's? Forgot to mention I got the Octave V70SE integrated to drive my Dyn C1's (85db). I mention that because Dyn's love current and the Octave is fantastic. As far as KT88's personally for the money the Gold Lion re-issue is my favorite. If cost were n... | |
| What are some good tube amps that rock? KT88's? If possible check out Octave. MRE 130's are my first thought with KT88's. Now I just read Octave just released an amp designed with the KT120's - the RE 290.http://www.octave.de/en/htdocs/verstaerker/re290.phpGood luck | |
