| Whats your take on a NAD 3020, I truly believe it defined stereo and still does! I had a 3040 many years ago. I used it to power Boston A40's at home and some large home made speakers for parties where a lot of metal and dance music was played loudly :) The speaker EQ function was perfect for the Bostons. The 70Hz setting made... | |
| Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy? I would pop it out with two pins. | |
| This question is aimed to TRUE Elec Engineers, not fuse or wire directionality believers. @cakyolPlease look at the link I posted. It should answer your questions regarding the use of solid state relays in audio amps. | |

| In need high-efficency speakers Where the volume control is pointing has NOTHING AT ALL to do with power. It is relative to gain. Turn it up. | |
| Recommendations for CDP < $300 The Onkyo 7030 is an excellent player for the price (I have one that I use for testing when I do repairs to amps). Very reliable and well made. It is perhaps a touch bright in it's delivery, but when you are ready for better, you can always add an... | |
| North Carolina Audio Club @slaw I'm in Cary. | |
| North Carolina Audio Club @slaw - you know, I stupidly didn't check the date. I just emailed him and got snubbed (and pissed off) :)Thanks, I'd like to be a part of the group. | |
| North Carolina Audio Club Thought you all would like to know that my request to join this group was denied by twochannel_guy because I am a DIY’er in addition to being an audio enthusiast. Yet another elitist group. I am so done with all this attitude. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! @andrewmg - I tried a Cary Audio preamp once. It was really noisy and had a ton of crosstalk between inputs. When I opened it up I realized why. Very poor PCB layout with ridiculously long traces and no ground traces between them.I also did some a... | |
| North Carolina Audio Club @rbwinterlink - I have a pair of MG1.6 that are needing a tweeter refurbished as well as new side rails. If you're interested we can talk. | |
| New Look for Audiogon hard to work with It is absolute crap. What is with the circular "porthole" images? | |
| Magnepan .7 review @barrysandy - thanks for the comments. Actually the 1.6's had more than enough treble in the same room and location, so I think the .7 is definitely more laid back. I've switched to a passive preamp and it helps with the extension somewhat. | |
| Longer speaker cables or interconnects Keep the long speaker cables and short interconnects. Amps have a low, low output impedance and output high level signals which are not affected by interference (well, unless the amp has a design issue).Over and out :) | |
| Power Cables Wow. I am sorry I wasted 5 minutes reading this. I agree with what jimf42 says plus you should add the wires from the transformer in the street feeding your house :) The aftermarket power cable thing is pure science fiction when you consider the w... |
