| Questionable Estate Auction practice "No court is gonna take the items away from the system purchaser and Fse did not lose any $, so unless Fse asked the court to enjoin the auctioneer from that practice, there is not much else they could do."Actually, there is something you can do. ... | |
| Naim - to DIN or not to DIN I'm pretty sure Chord makes the Naim Cables. | |
| 5.1 under 4k? There may have been some confusion in my last post. I was under the impression that the OP was getting these speakers for theater only, not music. My Deftec recommendation was meant to be taken in that context. If the amp is going to be a Marantz ... | |
| Naim - to DIN or not to DIN I tried some Naim gear a few years ago and got the opposite results. Going from the Naim cables with the DIN connection to my Audioquest with RCA's was a huge improvement. Not only that, some of my experimenting was done with my dealer in his stor... | |
| 5.1 under 4k? "I could not sell this level to my customers. I am a perfectionist and only interested in the best.Even good never will be good enough for me!"For someone who claims to be a perfectionist, you're slipping."I COULD NOT SELL THIS LEVEL TO MY CUSTOME... | |
| Questionable Estate Auction practice "However, the reality is that there is no practical relief you could be granted, because you didn't suffer any loss in an economic sense."I know why you would think that but its not really relevant. Assuming there are no special laws for a case li... | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec Sorry. I just messed up my last post. I got this thread confused with a similar one from earlier today. The first part of my answer was meant for this thread. The part about the Furutech was for the other one. The Furutech is not a regenerator. So... | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec "Zd542;Have you any knowledge of what affect a surge protector does to the final sound of the equipment ?"Yes. Anything. The results you get with power products seem almost random. Personally, I don't like power products that make big changes. If ... | |
| SATA vs USB for ripping CD's Thanks Altpopguy and Al. I already have one of those enclosures that will allow me to use either type of drive. So I have all the stuff to go either way. Al, thanks for the other tips, as well. | |
| Ok to use a Shunyata Hydra A-4 with a VAC 70/70? Assuming there is nothing wrong with your electric, as Rhljazz suggests, I would get something for the preamp but probably not for the amp. Although, if you get the Hydra, you can try it both ways. I have a 30/30 and it goes directly into the wall... | |
| Oh no , not another phono stage rec I think a better way to do it would be to just get a phono stage you like the sound of, regardless of how fast it warms up, and list it on your fire policy. Its pretty rare a house gets struck by lightning. Its far more likely you will have a prob... | |
| Need more outlets I use a Furutec etp80. Its made very well and it doesn't do any damage. Its very hard to tell its even in the system. The 60 may work for you as well. Cable Company sells them. | |
| Vandersteen Treo's If your room is not too big and you don't listen to really loud music, an Ayre CX-7 would be a very good choice for those speakers. | |
| Speaker cables for B&W?? "What I meant was, I read that B&W recommends a certain "spec" not brand when using a speaker cable so as not to have the highs rolled off. Not sure where I read that, but seem to remember it. But you never see such specs when researching cabl... | |
| Hearing issue The next time it happens, try equalizing. Thats when you pinch your nose while at the same time trying to exhale through your nose. Simply put, it makes your ears pop. Doing that may give you some clues as to what is going on. Another thing you ca... |
