| Upgrading wall outlets Well, I put in a PorterPort a week ago and the differance was very noticable. At first it was a little edgee. After two days of burn in it smoothed out and added depth and focus to my Oppo BDP-83. My Virtue Two is on battery power and that was a h... | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? Hi-Fi uses silver burn wire (the only one that does) and silver ends. They also use the ciramic shields. It's gotten some VERY good reviews. That's were I'll be putting my $39 when it comes to fuses. It wasn't long ago I would have laughed at you ... | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? The siver sounds promising. | |
| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? Macdadtexas has one of the few systems that's so refined that it can't possibly bennifit from any kind of power upgrade. | |
| Porter Port break in ? LOL, Thats pretty funny. | |
| Energy RC-10 or Monitor Audio RS1 for Virtue 2 am? Luciano33, When you get used to the new cord let me know and I'll guide you through where to buy and how to set up a battery power for you amp. The changes you got with the AR cord pale in comparison to batteries. Let me know something. Zman | |
| Porter Port break in ? Thanks everyone. There is alot more information for sure. I've been running a fan through it when I'm not listening. I will just keep the fan on it and wait for the smoothness to settle in. Thanks. zman | |
| Setting Sub Crossover Freq As far as polarity goes it's 0 or 180 according to the room. Have someone switch the polarity while you listen to a song with constant bass and choose the polarity based on which one has the most sound pressure. The loudest pressure is the correct... | |
| Setting Sub Crossover Freq Not neccesarily. What happens is that the frequency changes to a lower and less used freq. Once the music hits the lower freq it will still have the same volume just a lower freq responce. Play around with it and you'll get it just to your liking.... | |

| Running Sunfire Sub and Tube Amp I run a seperate pair of speaker cables to the mains and to the sub. This way the sub doesn't get involved with the mains. You don't have to run very expencive wires to the sub but at least some 14awg ox free copper. Its like bi-wiring but instead... | |
| Setting Sub Crossover Freq I like a slight overlap of 10-15 hz. any where from 55-60 seems like a good starting point for the frequency of your speakers. Placement of the sub and of the speakers is critical. If your sub is in the corner then you'll have more bass but not th... | |
| Energy RC-10 or Monitor Audio RS1 for Virtue 2 am? Check out my listening room. I done all the treatments with the bass traps for $150. I never new how good hi-fi could sound until I done this room. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vbudg&1267991000 | |
| Energy RC-10 or Monitor Audio RS1 for Virtue 2 am? It was the most significant improvement I made outside of the room treatments. If you can, treat your primary reflection points with acoustic treatments and the imaging will blow your mind. When that cord breaks in you're going to be amazed. Give ... | |
