| Single vs Dual Power Transformers I think dual mono, for the most part, is a marketing term. I may be wrong, but to me, a dual mono amp is something like a BAT VK-500. But amps like that are pretty rare. | |
| Got to open up my system today. Vandy Treo's Sorry. I was looking at your system and it shows an Ayre 7 integrated and a Marantz universal player. I didn't know you had the Empirical.

| Cleaning flood damaged vinyls I think Steelhead has it right. Insurance companies hate paying claims. I would tell them that there are no more vinyl cleaning specialists. The only way now, is to buy a machine and do it yourself. Then just try to get them to buy you the best ma... | |

| Primare PRE-32/A-32 combo lessened volume "Both models balanced, of course."Like I said before, just because a cable has xlr connectors doesn't make it balanced. You can take a regular rca unbalanced interconnect, remove the rca connectors and put xlr's on it. Just 2 of the 3 pins are use... | |
| Admittedly a bit lost "One other tip I forgot to mention is that I will generally like a speaker that I want to keep turning up louder rather than the ones I want to turn down."I think its better to have a system that doesn't make you feel the need to increase or decre... | |
| Upgrade from Proac Response 1SC? "It may be that I'm just getting restless after 11 years with these speakers and looking to rekindle the magic somehow."You're speakers sound great with tubes. I tried them with my ARC VT-100 and my VAC 30/30, and someone elses BAT VK-60. Excellen... |
