| Unexpected preamp needed- return policy important I also had a slight hum when I got my Meridian G08. Lifting the ground from the power cord solved the problem. The other option was to get a power conditioner with a built in transformer to isolate the cd player. Lifting the ground was much less e... | |
| Surge protection The electrician is right. Over voltages are sent to ground. | |
| Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion I would try to listen to all demo's you can at stores or friends homes if possible for starters. You have gone through a lot of speakers. Everyone has a different opinion on what they like. I would suggest Dynaudio Contour 3.4's and depending how ... | |
| Mission speakers 782's. I still have a pair. That was when Cyrus owned them. The 782's go down about 1/2 octave lower than the original 770's which is another great one. The 781's (slightly smaller) are also very good but not at higher volume levels. | |
| REL B3 Subwoofer static Are you connecting the rel to the speaker out from the amp (high level) or sub out (low level)? Is the sub - amp or preamp grounded (using all three prongs on the power cords)? If low level out make sure your pre-amp and sub are grounded. If High ... | |
| "Audiophile" Printer - But Interfering with AC? CwlondonYou shouldnt add $200 to your electric bill. Just remember everytime the fuser has to re-heat itself it will draw a lot of current. Try to save all your printing to 1 or 2 times a day. Once the fuser is warmed up the current draw drops sig... | |
| "Audiophile" Printer - But Interfering with AC? ALL Laser printers draw a tremendous amount of power to heat the fuser (around 8 amps). In standby it draw very little which is why you only see the problem when you print. Try to find a different 'phase' to plug the printer into. | |
| Which speaker for my system? Try and check out the dynaudio line. I have the confidence c1's and the esotar2 tweeter is to die for. The bass is tight and the mids sound the most natural I've heard. The c1's are rated to 45hz but I have as low as 32 (with a test cd). I have a ... | |
| Primare CD31 with 1704 chip I too came very close to purchasing the cd31. Very nice unit. But I did go for a more expensive player. I did get the meridian G08 (twice the price). A little more musical in my opinion. The Primare was my second choices. The Esoteric SA-10 was my... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... Personally looking at the lengths of of cables I would go with 2 35ft cables. The reason - I have played with cable lengths and personally found that when you exceed 50% of the shortest wire I hear a slight reverb/echo sound which to me throws off... | |
| Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home to Dynaudio S3.4? An upgrade for sure and a different sound.Thats my opinion after hearing both. | |
| Possible speaker short? TimrhuImpedance is different than DC resistance. Impedance is an AC resistance - Not DC. Ohm meters measure dc resistance. A 4 or 8 ohm speaker/driver will read almost zero (because its a coil) if there are no other components in the path. Dont fo... | |
| No sound and red power light on NAD C372 I'm not familiar with NAD but from your symptoms I would guess a problem with the power supply. You may have lost a voltage. Have you tried disconnecting EVERYTHING and powering it on with the volume all the way down? Does it come up normal? If no... | |
| Esoteric SA-10 or Rega Saturn? When I compared the 2 the Rega sounded 'dry' (and it took a long time to load a cd). Between the 2 I would take the SA-10 in a heartbeat. That being said the Esoteric had a lot more detail but when demo-ing it in my home I thought my cd's that wer... | |
| subwoofer connection to unfriendly amp Use high quality jumpers from the amp to the selector switch.I was thinking of making an adapter box with speaker terminals that would accept the banana terminals mounted into a small box. Then run some decent wires out and use eyelet terminals on... |
