| Balanced vs standard power Good info Ngjockey. I just picked up a Signal DU-5 on ebay. I'm going to use it wired in balanced mode for my amp (Almarro 318B). I've got a Signal DU-2 for my source.The Signal DU series is a great isolation transformer. Wired in balance, it drop... | |
| Seeking advice on how to improve my system I would recommend working on your AC power. Once I got all my components and cables tweaked, I added balanced transformers and it made a great improvement to the system.I also recommend dedicated AC outlets. One for your CDP and one for your amp. ... | |
| Balanced vs standard power I agree with Elizbeth.I use Signal Isolation transformers wired in ballanced mode. The difference was a much lower noise floor that transmitted into a more spaitial soundstage and more three dimensionality. A 10kva will be plenty for most systems.... | |
| Problems Buckanero117, my bids in at half that price.:) | |
| Biggest impact on you? Room treatments had the biggest impact on me. Then the Modwright Sony 999es had the second biggest. | |
| Triangle Titus 202 or Triangle Comete ES? Scroll up and read my impressions. | |
| Yamamura m6000 speaker cable?? I suggest trying the cables both ways and let your ears be the judge. | |

| Dedicated listening room design I use absorption on the side walls and it's not overdamped. As long as you leave space between the treatments you should be ok. | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? I just bought a Elrod EPS-2 Signature PC on recommendation of a friend. It's my first really high end PC. I've been using MAC HC Soundpipes for years. I've tweaked and strategacally bought until it's finnaly time to step up in the PC chain. My fri... | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? I never heard the Burly in my system. I just took his word for it. I trust what he said about it and didn't bother buying one. There are a lot of people that like that PC, but it didn't work out in his system, so I passed. | |
| Two subs or not Two subs? 30hz to 120hz is quite good. Stan is probable talking about a used sub that may be discontinued. Look on the classified adds here on AGon. | |
| Power Cords--Your Preference? My buddy tried the Burly in his system and was very disappointed. He burned it in for a couple of hundred hours and told me they were rolled of in the highs pretty bad. I've heard good things about them, but his system and mine are simular sonical... | |
