| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II I meant a tice for her to plug the vacuum into,lol | |
| PS Audio 300 vs Tice powerblock II This is all well and nice but which would you recommend for my wife? You see, I was replacing some outlets to the Acme cryoed with my PS 300 temporarily plugged into another outlet. My wife, was trying to help by vacuuming up my wire scraps and se... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Mmmmmm.....I ordered mine 3/26 (Syrah)with the only change being 1 set of xlr outs (even though it's not balanced) Maybe that means I am getting close. I haven't emailed Mick since 6/3. Course, Seattle is closer to AUS than DC is so mines probably... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Rmml,When did you order it? I'm feeling jealous. Any chance you live in Greater Washington, DC and I could come have a listen? Congrats!Cheers,Patrick | |
| Best CD Player under 2k ? Used Cary 303/100 or 303/200. The clarity is stunning IMHO. | |
| Bi Amping... worth it? Thank you for the reply Marakanetz. Actually, I do not have a 20W amp. I was asking if low-output amps benefit from bi-amping more than high-powered amps. In other words, does something like a duplicate 20W SET amp improve sound moreso than a dupl... | |
| Bi Amping... worth it? If you have matched amps and are passively bi-amping, is it better to run each amp to one speaker or 1 doing LF and 1 doing HF? Is one of these set-ups called "bridged" and the other "mono blocks"? If so, which is which? I'm embarrassed to ask, bu... | |
| Any opinions on Signal Cable products? I have to agree with Theduke. It's well constructed, ships fast and is a real bargin. Way better than stock cords. It's at least as good as my Analysis Plus Power Oval (3-4 times the price) but not as good as my PS LabII PC (8 0r 10 times the price) | |
| Best used Redbook CDP for 1700 I'll second the Cary 303/100. Think I saw one here for $1200. | |
| Qualitative test of Auric Illuminator Oh crud, now I gotta go buy some Vivid. How can I ignore a tweak that cost $70 that might work as well as a $$$$ IC upgrade? Something about A'gon that always gets my upgrade-itis juices flowing. :-) | |
| Amp Upgrade - 3k to 4k used? If you really want the BAT's with the Chardonnay, Mick will make 1 of the sets of outs XLR for $50. I know that doesn't make it balanced, but you could skip the adaptors.Patrick | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Ahhh, now that makes sense. Thank you Marakanetz. | |
| 4 Ohm vs. 8 Ohm, what does it mean..... Dumb questionIf ohms are a measure of resistance and 8 ohms is more resistant than 4 ohms, why are 8 ohms generally easier for the amp? Wouldn't more resistance create a bigger load to the amp?Life ain't easy being a rockhead, I tell ya | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century If anyone really can't wait, there is a used Cortese for sale here. $4500Nope, it's not mine and I don't know the guy.Patrick | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wsin,thanks for the tip. I'll, of course, try it both ways.Warren,I really think it will have been worth the wait. Of course I want Mick to take all the time he neebs to do a fine job.Cheers,Patrick |
