| Serious Passive Preamp question For a passive, I don't think that would be worth anywhere near $2200. It's just a couple of stepped attenuators using larger "through hole" resistors. It doesn't even have anything special, such as signal transformers like other exotic passive p... | |
| Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire The Audioquest GO-4 uses much superior copper than Slate or GBC, but it's only 4 conductors and 15awg total. The Slate uses 8 conductors and is 13awg. | |
| I'm still mystified... +1 chayro+1 uberwaltzMatches my views exactly! These sellers that state "paypal add 3%" are basically cheapskates. I don’t want to deal with them at all because this is a warning flag as to the type of transaction that can happen (if something goe... | |
| Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire oh, $149 is a good deal, but you can get this pricing a lot. Lot's of people sell older Audioquest speaker wire for good pricing. | |
| Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire There's no problem with having gold-plated binding posts on amps and speakers. Pretty much all posts are gold-plated anyways.Silver plated bananas will increase the resolution and attack of the sound. This is good if your system is very warm/slo... | |
| Audioquest Slate biwire vs Audioquest GBC single wire GBC is a 6 conductor 12awg.Slate is a 8 conductor 12awg.I suspect that Slate is going to be better because it has one 20awg Perfect Surface conductor. GBC only uses LGC long grain copper conductors. I looked at those slate bi-wire. It appears that... | |
| Converter for digital out to analog in to Integrated Couple of things could be going on here:1. Smart TV has a variable volume for the toslink output (not likely) -- try turning on the volume on the remote.2. This Prozor does not have a good enough gain and analog output level. This is probably what... | |
| what did I do to my Oppo/Modwright UDP-205 ? You will likely have to send both the power supply and the Oppo back to Dan. When you unplug the umbilical and then re-plug. When the metal contacts make a connection when you plug it in, it will create a spark/short. That spark/inrush can d... | |
| Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? The Krell Chorus/Duo/Solo amps are excellent amps. Very smooth, very refined with lots of resolution. However, they are not extreme high frequency "air" amps. They would be an excellent match to the older 7B. They would definitely sound good with ... | |
| Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet Yes. Furutech gold-plated will be warm, with bass that is not as bight, but it does soften and roll-off the high frequencies.Furutech rhodium will have deep tight powerful bass, but it will also have a lot of resolution and attack in the high fre... | |
| New audio setup? Yeah, rojerman has a good idea if you don't want to buy a phono stage at this point. You could use the Yamaha A-S201 as a phono stage for now, but you would still need a separate amp. In that case, it would be this:The "==>" is an RCA interco... | |
| New audio setup? The Yamaha A-S201 is like a phono stage, preamp and amplifier all built into one unit. While it is very convenient to have it all in one unit, it is not going to be as good sound quality than higher end separates devices (like the Schiit equipmen... | |
| New audio setup? A turntable is not a normal audio device like a CD player or tape player. It requires a special input circuit to handle the very low level signal and impedance of the turntable needle. You cannot just plug it into a normal "CD input". The Yamah... | |
| Krell iBias or Mark Levinson 533/535H series amplifiers with Aerial Acoustics Speakers? My cousin has a set of Aerial 10T's. They are very fast responding in the mids and highs. The JC1 would probably be a good match in my opinion. The Krell Chorus or Dual/Solo amps would be another good choice as the high frequencies on the Krell... | |
| Work around/replace receiver with bad channel? Sounds like there are problems in the digital section. This is usually non-repairable and it's probably best to junk it. Though, you could try giving Emotiva a call to see if they still support this. They would have to replace the entire digita... |
