| Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room Sqjudge: Yes the ground is center tapped. I had to go back to the wiring diagram to figure that one out, but that is how it's done. | |
| Best Video cable for picture quality? Composite is the most basic. It has the entire signal in one cable. The connection is generally RCA type. S Video separates the Y & C components of the video. For sources where this separation is native (originally recorded as separate signals... | |
| Best Video cable for picture quality? The best I have tried is the Audioquest. I have only tested the YIQ-4 which is a componenet video. It is equivalent to the top of the line terminations on the top composite cable, but with the 2nd in the line for the cable. However, for a composit... | |
| Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room Mine cost me about $500 plus I supplied the transformer and EMI/RFI filters. I was having other work done, so it was relatively inexpensive. Also, the distance from my incoming power to the audioroom is only about 25 feet. I don't recall the price... | |
| Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room The transformer I used was designed to run in this balanced mode. Again, it was designed for medical equipment, so noise and balanced topology are really what is needed. It's also designed way beyond it's rating of 30 amps at 220 volts. I did do a... | |
| Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room This is what I did in my audio room:220 Volt 30 Amp from electrical panel to Mud room (adjacent to Audioroom) using 6 AWG stranded copper wire. This is connected to a toroidal transformer which converts 220Volts to 110 Volts at 60 Amps. Both poles... | |
| A meeting by the River.... "Music for a Motherless Child" by Simpson and Wu (Guitar and Pipa). It is also on Waterlilly. Beautifully recorded, even better from a technical standpoint than Metting by the River. Simple, but a wonderful display of two cultures meeting. I agree... | |
| Classical Music Review Kr4: Please educate me further. In the liner notes it states: "This is the first recroding on the MA Recrodings label that consistes of a strictly "classical" program." Todd Garfinkle. | |
| LPs - display/storage etc ideas Kublakhan asked me to put together some instructions for the units I built. I've done so in Word format, but it has pictures so I can't (another computer guru might be able to) post it here. However, I will e-mail the instructions to anyone that w... | |
| Best EL34G tubes for Cary Audio cad 40M? I have the same amp. I've had Chinese tubes, my least favorite--don't even remember which brand they were. I've had the Sovtek's and really liked them, but had some reliability problems with them. I've had the Svetlana's, they were too soft. I'm n... | |
| The Cowboy Junkie, anyone??? I think I bought it from Music Direct. It was a few years ago. It's a gold CD--not that it matters--but it is much better sounding than the domestic (US) version. | |
| The Cowboy Junkie, anyone??? Trinity Sessions. I don't know about the availability on vinyl, but it is available on a Canadian CD import which is much better than our US Domestic version. | |
| Classical Music Review My previous post the numbers are backwards. It should read 9, 10: 9 for performance and 10 for sonics. | |
| Classical Music Review This recording is spectacular. This is the first classical recording on M*A recordings. All of M*A recordings are brilliant. They capture the essence of the instrument, which is so important because much of the work is done on world music with ins... | |
| Members: start a music review section? Elgordo: Good suggestion--I just started a thread--let's see what happens. |
