| Cable TV receiver induced hum into system Audio Advisor sells the Mondial Magic's. If you find that you need one, look under "Manufacturers" on their website for Mondial and you will find an isolation transformer and an isolation transformer/splitter. I used the transformer/splitter and s... | |
| Cable TV receiver induced hum into system I had the same problem with my cable hook-up, and I too used a Mondial Magic to break the ground loop and improve the picture. It's an excellent product! :o) | |
| What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb? Kincade,I agree - I don't think you will notice anything by using an Acurus amp for the rear surrounds - the difference is fairly subtle.As far as heat is concerned, the 8008's and the Acurus are only warm to the touch after several hours of use d... | |
| What 5ch or 3/2 to match Aragon 8008bb? Kincade,I wish I had seen this post sooner. I have an 8008BB running my mains with an 8008x5 for the rest of the system. All channels match perfectly - assuming well matched speakers.I also have an Acurus A200x3 that I used to use for the center a... | |
| 5 Channel Amp for under $2k? The Aragon 8008x5 would be a good match for the Soundstage, but so would many of the other amps mentioned already. | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Eandylee - I agree with Aroc. Don't be so quick to judge an amp based strictly on power ratings - there is much more to an amp than power. Though the NAD power supply is capable of more continuous power the Anthem amp still has plenty, as well as ... | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Eandylee,I can't say that I have specifically seen specs mentioned "exactly" like this. However, I went deeper into the NAD website to understamd how the amplifier was designed so I could gain insight into what the specs meant. Please note that al... | |

| Broke and still not happy Gellis1,I cannot speak to the power conditioners that you have because I have not personally tried them. However, based upon what I read I was not overly impressed with them. What I can atest to is what I have experienced in my own system. After r... | |
| Broke and still not happy I did not see any mention of power conditioning. Until you clean that up you cannot accurately assess the other elements of the system. The harshness you mention could very well be from dirty power - I doubt that it is coming from the excellent eq... | |
| NAD T973 Power Amp - Power Rating 7x145w or 2x200w Yes, this looks to be exactly what it says. Since this amp uses a power supply that is common to all channels, it has more power available to route to the active channels if not all channels are being used. Many other multi-channel amps use this d... | |

| How to do dedicated circuits with isolated grounds I have to agree with Jea48 that larger gauge wire is desired for good transient response (lower voltage drop under demand). I went with #6 wire because it was the largest gauge wire I could use that would minimize voltage drops and the need for te... | |
| Listening Fatigue Harshness! It can come from any number of souces. It can be a bad recording, noisy power, poor set-up, any of the various pieces of equipment, cables, etc, or any combination thereof. The lower the total level of harshness, the louder I can play t... | |
| How to do dedicated circuits with isolated grounds I just rewired the power to my system also, but did it a little differently - I put in a 240V circuit. I added a new 200A sub-panel next to the main service panel, used a 15A 2-pole breaker, and then ran four 6awg wires (2 hots, 1 neutral & 1 ... |
