| Why is my Rotel RA 1062 amp running hot? You have an odd problem. I don't know a lot about your speakers, but if I'm not mistaken, they are very efficient. You should have no problem at all driving them with your Rotel. I would try 3 things to start out with. To rule out a problem with y... | |
| interconnects for Jeff Rowland Capri and 201s There's really no other way to say this, but, I think you should look at upgrading to a different pair of speakers. A cable upgrade, given what you currently own, would be foolish. Its not that I think the Purist are that good, its just that I don... | |
| AC power anomalies disrupt only phono stage? "when the street’s power supply is corrupted, the phono stage of my Halcro DM10 preamp is rendered virtually unlistenable?"How do you know that's true? I'm not saying that you're wrong, only that the problem may lie somewhere else. There's a prett... | |
| Amp / Tubes / Channel Reverse all of the tubes. Right clannel to Left and left to right. If the other is now dead, you have a tube issue. | |
| Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring That's a really bad idea. I'm sure you don't want to hear this but I'll say it anyway. Assuming the speakers are set up and broken in properly, you made a mistake. You can try to buy components that will act as an EQ to "fix" your problem. The onl... | |
| What is the best....? "What an inane question. How long is a piece of string?"That's an easy question to answer. When you say "how long is a piece of string", that limits you to 1 piece. Since you ask for no other variables with regards to the string, all you need to d... | |
| BAT vk-p3 phono install If you don't have a local dealer I suggest you call The Cable Company. They sell BAT and have a really good loaner program. You should have no problem getting them to send you the phono pre for an in home demo. Their very good people to do busines... | |
| Please critique my Delphi set up, bass not right The one thing a lot of older recordings lack is bass. Have you compared CD's to LP's directly; using the same exact recordings? For example, people will use a remastered CD and compare it to an original recording on LP. They both need to be origin... | |
| Integrated or receiver or separates advice sought You can easily get a used Creek 5350SE with your budget. That would be my first choice. I've had the Nait 5i as well. Its very overrated. There's not 1 thing it can do as well, or better than the Creek. It also has a lot more useful features. | |
| Reasonable not to be offered a trial on a cart? You may want to give The Cable Company a call. (fatwyre.com). They specialize in lending audio gear out so you can do an in home demo. The only thing is thing is, I'm not sure if they will ship outside the US. Its worth a try, though. | |
| Does Cambridge Audio Azur 840e have volume issues? I had that same problem, only I had the 640, not the 840. When you use the volume control on the remote it goes too far. It makes it very hard to get the volume control to stop when you want to. | |
| Starter Dac for Headphones... HeadRoom (headphone.com) has their own line of headphone amps and DAC's. One of their entry level units would probably work very well for you. You definately can get something very good for a lot less than $400-$500. | |
| Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of Phaelon,Extremely good post. Your contrast of what a good dealer should provide, as opposed to the type service you get from a not so good dealer, is near perfect. Couldn't have said it better myself. The only thing I would add is in reference to ... | |
| Left channel fading in and out Since the problem seems to follow the speaker, you may want to try this. Check your speakers out really well. Sometimes the drivers loosen up over time. I would check to make sure everything is tight. I don't know for sure that's the problem, but ... | |
| Older is better - D/A chip? "IMO all these dac of the week stuff is just cashing in on folks thinking new is always better."How do you define DAC of the week? I'm not sure I get what that means. Can someone post any examples of equipment that would be considered DAC of the w... |
