| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? Audio, No, the blades are the same size. Just the ORIENTATION differs. The wire in the cord (almost always) is the same size. The NEC sets standards as if we are all idiots, because it only takes one, if you know what I mean. If you want to feed t... | |
| 20amp IEC connector with a 15amp plug PC? ?? Audio, Don't worry about the cord. Worry about the home AC circuit. A 20 amp wall plug accepts a horizontal blade as well as a vertical one. What we are trying to avoid here is drawing 20 amps to something that cooks at 15. If your equipment needs... | |
| One Pop Too Many J, You may also find playing the record in question, (perhaps with a couple extra tenths of weight) several times will quiet them down. Many LP labels include this advice in the packaging. It has worked for me. I have several thousand 180g lps tha... | |
| REL sub connecting both high and low question... Cd, You have three volume controls, use them. Have you read the manual? High and low input on the sub both have gain control. The Meridian has sub volume as well. The seperate volume and crossover for two channel is what these subs are all about! ... | |
| Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L Bob, I would never poke fun at you. I feel I am the big winner so far in our short history. My shop sounds better than most folks' living rooms! I don't think an amp cares about phase angle, but I do. That is why I have Vandersteen speakers, they ... | |
| ESOTERIC, WADIA -- How do they really sound? Saxo, One of the great trade-offs with buying used, is that it can give you a free education. Once gear at this level takes it's first big hit (to about dealer cost) it seems to level off for a while. Buy and Try I call it. You may find that these... | |
| Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L Bob, Don't be confused. If anyone has the electronics knowledge to be able to understand Richard, you do. Please call him and then translate the major points in English for the rest of us! All I need to know is that what he says is fact. I will no... | |
| Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L OK, Dylano first. I would not use the Aragon with the Vandys, unless you are willing to de-tune it with warmish, TARA sounding copper cables. These amps are a bit grainy up top. The Vandys will reveal this. I am using yours (!) and the one I alrea... | |
| Help amp for Vandersteen 3A sig w/ Anthem pre 2L Dylano, Richard Vandersteen will guide you on bi-amping his speakers. His crossover requires a seperate ground path for BOTH sets of terminals. DO NOT use multi-channel amps with Vandys. Both Mr. Hardesty and I found out the hard way this does not... | |
| Edge G3 Integrated vs Plinius 8200 Golfrock, The Totems and the Ayre could use more, but I think the Edge would be a move sideways. What is your cable situation? I forget, can you go low level out of the 8200 to an amp? Find a Plinius amp and stay happy until a pre shows up, then b... | |
| Want to get into Analog but i do not have a preamp Btstrg, I have yet to hear a cd player sound better without a preamp. You will need an equal performing pre, which may kill your budget, but what's new. I can't wait for you to hear what you've been missing with the Aries. Any double digit ARC LS ... | |
| How to diffrentiate Vandersteen 3A / 3A Signature Hendya, Been to Richard's site? I will give you three guesses why this speaker is called Signature... and the first two don't count! Hurry up and buy them, good times are comin' | |
| Bi-amping Question? Dkalsi, I would qualify the difference you WILL hear as huge. If as Tinman agrees, you can't go back, and you won't, that's huge. But wait, it gets better! The amp you are using has one power supply, upgrade to a true bi-amp setup and the differen... | |
| Pwr. conditioner necessary w/dedicated AC lines? Denf, Yes you have wasted at least the last three years, but it is never too late to separate yourself from the crutch-fix comparing that goes on. And start enjoying your system, finally. I bet these guys compare brands of regular gas when the bet... | |
| Air conditioning a home theater. Marc, Your pictures were not up for my first response. Nice room, nice system! Nsgarch is very close to making this a freebee. If it was all good as a den, and you do not have a return in this room, you need one. A transfer, say, above the door, l... |
