| How to remove tarnish from OLD Silver wire? I have some pure silver wire (solid core UP-OCC 99,99%) left that I bought 4 years ago from reliable German resellerPersonally I would go for a liquid silver cleaner then follow it up with something that will prevent oxidation from re-occurring. | |
| interconnect burn in via tuner? Leave the tuner on and the integrated off. Won't hurt the integrated at all. | |
| Fuse on Shanling SACD player Some fuses are located IN the iec connector. | |
| Ayon and Octave Forgot to mention that Octave has only been in the USA for about 2 years. Octave (located in Germany) has been in business for over 20 years. So there may not be too many Octave owners in the states. | |
| Speaker cable made in USA? Fusion Audio - Nordost - Jps are a couple more | |
| Ayon and Octave As a C1 owner I have never heard the Ayon series. But I do own the Octave V70SE. My Octave dealer does have a used V70 but I never heard it so I can't comment what the differences are between it and the SE version. My SE does have a balanced input... | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? Peter_sAt my dealer I demoed the C1's in a room that is 15 X 25 and they sounded great. It will depend on the setup and equipment you have. I have to listen nearfield in my room 12 X 26 and there is some loss of bass in the 'sweet spot'. What I fo... | |
| Long Cables w/Short Speaker Cable or Vice Versa? My 2 cents worth. If the IC's are XLR (truly balanced input and out) the long 15' run is not a problem.Then I would pop for a better but short speaker cable. | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? As a Dyn C1 owner all I can say is they are the most natural life like speakers I ever heard. I have never been fatigued by them. In fact 1 problem that I have with them is I have an extremely hard time walking away from them.That being said I hav... | |
| Voltage regulation Thanks Irish - Yes both the distributor and manufacturer both are aware of that problem. They have been very good about tube replacement too. I think I'm on the last step of things to look for and try before sending it in for repair. | |
| Power Tubes for ARC VT100 MkI. Genalex or SED? The SED 6550's have been out of production for a while now from what I've heard. That being said I have the SED 6550's and Genalex Gold Lion KT88's but in an Octave integrated. Personally I think the GL KT88 has better deeper bass with a slightly ... | |
| Voltage regulation 10 volt swing per day WOW. As far as linear power supplies they are generally designed to work with +/- 10% of the standard 120v. So for me I would think 132v would be my upper limit. At any rate I have been trying to keep my bias down. I've lost ... | |
| Voltage regulation I don't hear a difference but am more afraid of damaging my equipment. | |
| Voltage regulation Hey Everyone Thanks for the responses. Any recommendations for a sub 1k budget limit (new or used). | |
| Voltage regulation Chuck It raises the output voltage by 3V. That pushes the output to 130V. Other than that the Topaz Isolates only. No regulation. |
