| What racks/amp stands do you own or have owned? pARTicular Novus full suspension. Prior a Barzalay. The Novus has great isolation. Besides it looks great. | |
| Sim Audio W-5 Fuse blew half way on the pre amp MarkwatkissVery interesting the Cary tech suggested that. It is possible the manufacturer was wrong when deciding to use a 3amp slo blow and also may have been a fairly common problem. When I did do component level troubleshooting years ago when I... | |
| Sim Audio W-5 Fuse blew half way on the pre amp NO DO NOT PUT A LARGER FUSE IN!! If there is a problem you will cause excessive damage. Remember fuses are to protect the internal electronics. | |
| Sim Audio W-5 Fuse blew half way on the pre amp Blowing a fuse does not sound good. Fuses are there to protect the electronics. Does it always happen when the volume is turned 1/2 way? If so something is wrong. On the other hand I have seen bad fuses although extremely rare. Also the fuse that ... | |
| Sub output: Is it the woofer size or the rated RMS Elizabeth hit it right on the head and Rwwear went a step further. | |
| Moon impressions I have a sim dealer close by and he asked if I would bring my meridian G08 to compare to his super nova in his sim stack. Both of us prefered the meridian. More musical with better 'prat'. I would say the only thing better about the super nova was... | |
| Which NORDOST Cables? I recently had a Nordost demo case to evaluate (for 6 weeks). It had the blue havens through the Frey's. Personally I did not care for the ic's at all and the power cables at best were OK in my system. I currently have fusion audio ic's and power ... | |
| dynaudio s5 vs c1 ? Are you comparing the contour S5.4 to the confidence series (C1 C2 C4)? If so yes the C1's and C2's don't have the bass punch that the S5.4's have. Have you demoed the sapphires or the new focus 360's? Both have a 'punchier' bass output. Personall... | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF Have you considered Dynaudio C1's with a sub? That combo works well in near field listening. I moved my C1's around and you will loose some depth being that close to the wall but the soundstage and detail won't suffer. They are rear ported. As far... | |
| What Happened? If you are sure that removing power from your electronics did not resolve the buzzing then I would say it was your surge strip. Back when I had access to a dranetz a/c line analyzer I was only able to prove 1 time (out of hundreds) that a surge st... | |
| Subwoofer questions galore -- Arcam AVR350 / 2Ce's I use a REL and it has high level inputs. It hooks directly into the speaker binding posts on the amp. It also has a great crossover. | |
| Cleaning cd lens ? DanmyersThanks for the tip but I just read the ingredients on my bottle of 70% isopropyl alcohol and it states 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water - nothing else. I do get the sale stuff so I would have to assume that more expensive alcohol may co... | |
| Cleaning cd lens ? I use alcohol but make sure you dry it off. You need little to no pressure. | |
| Break In Your Speakers...... What CD and how long? I have a cd from Granite Audio that has a full sweep of tones from 20 hz to 20khz. Not sure if it speeds up the burn-in process. I do find that after looping on the slow full range for about an hour my system does sound a little different. I also ... | |
| Listening chair suck-out Forgot to mention get a good comfy seat and seal it shut so no one mistakes it for something else. |
