| Long distance from amp to speakers Any possibility of hiding the amps behind the Vandersteens? If yes, you can leave the preamp where it is, use relatively inexpensive long interconnect cables and very short speaker wires. The interconnect cable is less intrusive, less visible and ... | |
| Pwr. conditioner necessary w/dedicated AC lines? The Thor you mention sounds interesting. The problems you previously had, loss of dynamics and micro detail is exactly my complaint with all power conditioners. Perhaps the Thor is a better mousetrap, an improved version of Quiet Lines. | |
| Pwr. conditioner necessary w/dedicated AC lines? Denf, regarding:I would like to reactivate this thread now that a little time has passed to perhaps get some new feedback. I am still using my P300, but ONLY for my BAT VK3i preamp (I am still running my CD player "direct" to the wall, which again... | |
| Buzz/hum caused by new a electric lines Nsgarch,Plug the amps right into the wall. I won't go into my diatribe about conditioners/filters here, but I think they are more a liability than an asset, if you have ded. circuits anyway.I agree completely. | |
| Buzz/hum caused by new a electric lines Ngjockey asks the exact question I would ask. It's possible your electrician delivered two phases to your system and you now have a ground loop. If you can, plug everything into one outlet and see if the problem is resolved. If your power draw is ... | |
| Brinkman Balance Comparisons This thread proves to me that we audiophiles operating in the analog domain have it made. Discussions between us centering on differences between the best turntables, arms and cartridges in the world and everyone seems to favor (or at least be exc... | |
| What is the voltage at your receptacle? The two legs at my breaker box read 119.8 volts and 121.7 volts. I have all my stereo dedicated runs connected to the 121.7 phase and noisy appliances such as refrigerator, TV, and bathroom outlet used for hair drier are all on the 119.8 V side. | |
| Hum and noises in McCormack amp And when you bring out an improved model, mine would show up here at Audiogon with condition listed as "stone" mint. | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Kck, that Mcintosh had better be close fitting to keep out the cold breezes blowing around in the Atma-Sphere.Needless to say, It's dangerous in the Totem Forestanytime of year but Winter is by far the worst. I find the best protection during cold... | |
| CD or Phonograph for my Martin Speakers USA 206B ? Sorry electrikmagik, I automatically thought about Marten speakers from Europe. Their bottom of the line is $6500.00 and climb to $50K and beyond. Guess I must have been asleep, you typed Martin but I read Marten. From your response about the soun... | |
| Hum and noises in McCormack amp Guess I have to swap it out. That's unfortunate, because I like the black, it matches the rest of my gear :^). | |
| Hum and noises in McCormack amp Hey Steve, have you heard that new McCormack UDP-1 Deluxe (especially the one with black face plate)? | |
| Your music system is an instrument. Oh yea ??Well, have you ever heard of Albert Einstein?? I have the same first name as him, and he was really smart.Ever heard of Porter House steak? Well, I have the same name (NO, not steak). | |
| Vinylphiles...used/new TT/Cart combo under $700? Mine was a Lenco 75, here is my Audiogon thread on the topic of restoring and building a pretty base for it.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vbudg&1082337040&openusid&zzAlbertporter&4&5#AlbertporterI eventually sold it, ... | |
| CD or Phonograph for my Martin Speakers USA 206B ? Which Martin speakers did you buy?As for which format is better for you, I would base that decision on software. Do you own primarily CD and thinking about playing with LP's for your music collection? As for what turntable is good, depends on budg... |
