| More Electrical System Madness Well, it wasn't the ground between the arm and phono pre- so, for my next trick, I decided it still had to do with the compressor for the Air Line arm. Having had that plugged into a separate circuit didn't make a difference, and having a dedicate... | |
| Jumpers - How good do they really have to be? I can't speak to your particular combination, but can tell you that when I got my Avantgarde Duos, I first hooked them up with the factory supplied jumpers while awaiting delivery of some custom Cardas Golden Ref. jumpers. The speakers were, admit... | |
| More Electrical System Madness yep. Considerable discussion of that, and other issues relating to the installation of the "dedicated" system, in another thread relating to its set-up. I went back through all the grounds after I wrote the initial post, decided to pull the Granit... | |
| Which would you choose to isolate your turntable? Where do the HRS platforms fit into this hierarchy? | |
| Avantgarde in NYC? I don't think they represent Avantgarde any more. For a while, I think they were doing Acapella- and now, they seem to be devoted to Goldmund systems. I'm not sure there is an authorized dealer in NYC. As to Manley, I was forced to buy my Steelhea... | |
| placement of quad 57's You will have to experiment. Out from the back wall, probably more than you'd think, toe-in varies depending on distance to listening position- height off floor makes a difference in balance; on the original legs, you might also consider what the ... | |
| Do I upgrade my Cerwin Vegas S1's from the 70's I'll bet the EarthQuake soundtrack would be awesome- remember when it was roadshowed in first run, with monster CW woofers installed? :) | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Well, my finite elemente HEAVY DUTY stand arrived today, finally! So, the table gets set up tomorrow on the dedicated stand by someone expert in these tables. I am looking forward to that. More soon, with new pics, showing the rearranged system. | |
| Downside of sensitivity? One of the drawbacks of having an extremely sensitive speaker system, eg 103db @ 1metre, is that everything, and I mean, EVERYTHING, can be heard- funky ground- big time sound through those horns, tube rush or other noise associated with electroni... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline Well, I finally got mine set up today. Combination of schedule, and bad logistics. The Finite Elemente floor stand, on which the XL turntable belongs, was lost in transit, and another just sent. I'm tracking its progress like Chloe on 24. Meantime... | |
| Airtangent vs Kuzma airline I just bought the Air Line. I'll let you know how it goes.... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' oops> One last thought. Preamp fully grounded. Ground lifted on Audiopaxes. But, both components have separate ground wires to the Ground Zero device. Does this mean that the amps are effectively grounded via the preamp? Is that true even thoug... | |
| Yet another Grounding Question-Separate 'Earth' OK, here's the scoop: Richie, the electrician, completed the wiring of the new outlets to the room, as follows (BTW, I printed out this thread for him to read, and apart from a few questions about his competence, he explained to me why what he did... | |
| Insurance for audiophiles IN my experience, at least in the US, the best (not cheapest) insurer is Chubb. | |
| Differance between Avantgarde version 2 & 3 This might help: "Avantgarde's Series 3.0 Uno has made its appearance. According to Jim Smith, president of Avantgarde-USA, the changes are evolutionary, refining the design rather than changing it in any fundamental way. The tweeter and midrange ... |
