| Install IEC male socket or not?? I've installed IEC connectors in multiple vintage amps, and some of them I've sold with no concern from sellers or apparent impact to value (ie anything it was a benefit). I was completely open about the fact I added them and that I did it myself.... | |
| Need a little help, New to Vinyl I also agree with the Belari. I had one some time ago, and while it wasn't right for me, I think it's an excellent solution for you situation. The only suggestion is if you go that way, make sure your cartridge has adequate output voltage and/or y... | |
| New integrated for Totem My advice is something with Tubes. A 30 w/c tube amp is plenty for the Sttafs.I'm on my second pair of Sttafs. The first pair I sold ~2 years ago when I upgraded to Mani-2s. I recently bought another pair for a small room system I set up. I'm driv... | |
| Guitar's...what do the audionuts play? I have 2 Strats, 2 Teles, a Gibson Les Paul Studio (natural Cherry), 2 Brian Moore i2000's (i2 and i9f) and a couple of ES335 clones (Cort/Samick). I only have one acoustic - it's a decent Takamine - but I want to get another good acoustic. I play... | |
| Has anyone heard or tried Proceed Pre& krell kst I'm not familiar with the Krell amp, but I own a Proceed Pre. There's not much posted about this preamp, and what there is (that I've found), isn't highly complementary. I bought mine as a package with a Proceed Amp2 off ebay. When I first played ... | |
| Turntable - On the Wall or to the Floor? unless your stand is on a solid concrete slab floor, I would mount it on the wall. I have suspended hardwood floors on the main level of my home that are pretty spring due to the engineered truss system the builder used. I can't walk across the fl... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps ROTFLMAO! | |
| source for long component and IC Are you saying you ICs are not balanced but are RCA? Correct, my IC's are RCA. | |
| bi-amping for VSA 4JR's yes, I have identical cables on both modules. | |
| bi-amping for VSA 4JR's I tried this with my VR4 genIII's - it is not pug and play. After fiddling with it for a day I punted. I ended up with a vertical biamp arrangement using identical Electron Kinetics Eagle 4 SS power amps. It's a fair bit better than using just one... | |
| source for long component and IC I have Bluejeans LC-1 IC's in my home theater. The shortest are 28ft, longest 33'(rears) and I've been very happy with them. My home theater is a dual purpose (ie 2 channel) systems, and as a baseline I used shorter ICs (Audience Maestro) with my ... | |
| IMHO, not enough gain in my Phono stage how much do you want to spend? There are some phono pres with adjustable gain that can neutralize the problem you have though it may not be optimal for sound quality vs turning your volume up on your line stage.I like the Jolida JD9A which can be ... | |
| Keeping Hifi Equipment For Sentimental Values I still have the first, and second pair of speakers I ever purchased. The first pair are vintage 1965 Warefdales that sounded awful, but the cabinets are very nice, and solid . They weren't worth anything so I kept them. Eventually I used the cabi... | |
| What is LFE on sub connections LFE is "Low Frequency Effects" which has to do with non-musical low frequency like earthquakes, thunder, etc. I believe the way you have it set up, both music related and Effects related low frequency will be delivered.Depending on your speakers y... | |
