McIntosh Preamp and Audio Research Amp
When I was using a Mac AV preamp with 5v trigger to power my Krell multi channel amp with 12v trigger, I used a Niles trigger interface. The Niles takes an input anywhere from 3-30v and outputs a 12v signal. Worked great! I don’t use it anymore, s... 
Accuphase DP-57 vs DP-67 Comparison
Having spent several months with the DP-57, my opinion is that it images extremely well, and is very musically involving. Plus, it has the smoothest opening and closing CD tray. I love the build quality! The Accuphase units invert phase out of the... 
Buzz/Hum from Cary SLI-80
Sounds like a ground loop to me. Try a 3 prong to 2 prong adapter on the AC cord. Also called a cheater plug. You can get them almost anywhere. Radio Shack, Home depot, the grocery store...

I fell victim to a scam
Good news for me! As I mentioned, my first reaction was to go to the Police. However, I just spoke with my bank. They had me come in and fill out an "Affidavit for Unauthorized Access of my Account" form. My bank reimbursed me my full amount and t... 
I fell victim to a scam
Thanks for your responses so far. To answer a couple of your questions:This scammer has already canceled his account on Audiogon. I paid with cash through my Paypal checking account. I'll know better next time... 
remote turn-on for Bryston 4BST and Proceed PreAmp
I have a Proceed PAV\PDSD, and use the remote feature to turn on my sourround sound amp. You need to use a mono mini jack. A stereo jack will not work. Also, you may need a steady current (not pulse), to keep the amp on. My PAV\PDSD allows me to s... 
Accuphase, MF Trivista OR Song?
I have an Accuphase CD 55V player that utilizes XLR outputs with: Pins 1=ground, 2=Inverted (-), and 3=Non-inverted (+). This apparently is not the standard USA configuration, as my Amp and Preamp use: Pins 1=ground, 2=Non-inverted(+), 3=(-)Invert... 
Stands to go with B&W Nautilius 805?
I've just recently purchased Sound Anchor stands for my N805's, directly from Sound Anchor. It's a super solid, one piece stand, 40lbs each, and the speaker bolts to it, making a very solid setup. Around $400 delivered. Good looking too... In rece... 
What was your latest LP find??
I just posted this under a seperate thread, but maybe you vinyl heads can riddle me this:I have this "Elvis for Everyone" LP. Took it from my parents house when they moved, years ago. The date on the lower right corner on the back of the album is ...

Disappointed in SACD player
For the real scoop on SACD, just read what audiophile owners of this product have to say. They're the real experts at this point. I personally would not rely on Tweeter sales people to enlighten me on SACD. The few times that I have shopped at Bry... 
HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one?
Had a similar hum problem with my combination HT and audio system. Turned out to be the Krell 500 3 prong plug. Try a 3 prong to 2 prong “cheater plug” on the Krell. Worked for me… 
Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE
I recently purchase a SF Line 3 SE and Power 3 from Underwood Wally here on AudiogoN. Suggest you give him a call. I also checked out the BAT 50SE. Nice unit but will probably cost you twice as much as the Line 3 SE. To my ears there was a subtle ...
