| Changing power conditioner stock power cord Audphile1: The Exact Power is a regenerator of sorts (it doesn't regenerate the entire AC waveform, but more efficiently compares it against a fixed internal reference using a sub-cycle feedforward technique and then compensates for distortions an... | |
| Changing power conditioner stock power cord John is right on.(And Narrod is way off -- contrary to what he might think without having tried it, these things *can* be heard by careful listeners who don't believe in fairy dust).However, as far as changing cords on the ExactPower in particular... | |
| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? No, but what I really don't believe is that we need yet another thread (probably destined to be deleted anyway) on why we don't believe in this.. | |
| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt Eldee: "There is a big difference between $30 and $159"$159 - $30 = $129 (to be precise). Now, please stop misundertaking me when I'm trying to poke fun at you! | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? If my listening room weren't also the living room, I'd eliminate the couch and make a permanent dancefloor. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Awesome Oregon! By very weird chance, just yesterday I was on the phone with an audio friend in Eugene, who was regaling me with tales of the local mania for everything Ducks (and green and yellow?). But Kirk and Kesey -- wow. Hey, if you'd gone t... | |
| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt ...$129 to be precise. | |

| Fat Tuesday: Katrina Recovery & Donations Progress DO NOT click on the above links. Audiogon, please delete the previous post (or this thread), and prevent future posts from Unknown (not a member). | |
| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt Eldee: That's a pretty far cry from your rather hyperbolic first statement. Anyway, as I understand it the costlier version of the T has many parts upgrades and modifications to the IC in addition to the aluminum case. Given that SI won't be able ... | |
| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt Eldartford: What was "Like the Sonic Impact T amp, maybe someone will stuff it into a fancy box, and sell it for two grand!" a reference to?Cwlondon: I was thinking of trying the same thing (with speakers that are probably a bit easier to drive). ... | |
| Tube amps to control VR-4jr bass? Hogio: I have no experience with the speakers you bought, and don't know anything about how difficult they are in the bass with tubes. However, I have owned both the CJ MV55 and VTL MB-185 amps. As you would expect, the more powerful monoblock VTL... | |
| Loud Audible Hum/Noise from C/J Tube Amps This can have something to do with the wiring/grounding of your place. I used an MV55 and had the same problem, fixed by the same cure, when I lived in one place, but at the next place no problem even when the amp was grounded. (In both places the... |
