| Talkin' 'bout my De Capo's No doubt, the de Capos are hard to live without...A true conveyor of music with few faults. After owning three different pairs and moving "up" a bit in the Reference 3A line to the 3A Episodes, I still miss my De Capos and I love my Episodes! | |
| Copper®Harmony RCA Plug - a new breed I got the opportunity to hear the new Copper Harmony RCA ends myself this past week, in comparison to the standard copper Bullet connectors. Your review is spot on, and I agree with you all around on your assesment. Much faster, more attack, bette... | |
| Is 10AWG copper wire sufficient How many feet long are your cables? 10 Ga. wire is awful heavy, and probably not necessary for the sake of current delivery for normal length runs. | |
| Battery powered cabin system The 10.1 will play for a VERY long time if you run it off a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery...Probably a few good months of listening, if you match the amp to some efficient speakers. You would not need a generator to re-charge the battery. Pick... | |
| Thanks Jim Hall Yes, he will be missed by many...excellent guitarist! | |
| Integrated Feeding Integrated Most integrated amps out there do not have very good sounding attenuators, and going through both with your signal will only degrade sound quality more. I would suggest you do it another way. | |
| Do you run a high end power cord on your sub? Try an original Synergistic Research AC cord for your powered sub. They can be had for around $125 on the used market, and will provide you with lots of tight, powerful bass energy. No need to spend half a grand on an expensive AC cord for your su... | |
| Which $500 Speaker Next? I would not leave out a pair of Monitor Audio RS-6 if you like a dynamic, detailed and lively sound at that price point....Great speaker for the price! | |
| Buzz/hum through speakers Try grounding the chassis of the amp to the pre-amp, using a thin piece of 18-22 gauge wire. Wrap the bare wire ends around the head of a chassis screw, then tighten. | |
| What is your DESERT ISLAND amp & speaker combo? If I were stuck on a desert island and needed music, I would certainly bring waterproof, efficient speakers, and a small, 12 volt Tripath amp. I would also bring a good solar panel to power things with, and rechargeable battery of course. (I am as... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 speakers + Audio Research Ref 75 amp The combo should sound and work very well, but at low to medium volume levels. The 3.7's are not very efficient, but the Ref 75 should have good control over them up to its rated output. It would mostly depend on your listening habits. | |
| Cable/Fuse Direction Matters? I agree with Knghifi in regards to the Hifi tuning brand fuses...no doubt there is a correct direction for them in all components I have tried. I have not heard those differences when changing direction of standard fuses. | |
| Battery Power & Power Amp Your Bryston 4BSST power amp is a 300 w.p.c. powerhouse, that runs on standard 120 volts. The Red WIne Audio Black Lightning hugh current battery supply is designed for low power consumption, low voltage (5 to 20 volt) components. It will not powe... | |
| Marian McPartland So sad to hear of her passing! She was an amazing musician, who loved what she did. What a wonderful life she had, and with so many dear, true friends.... How could any person ask for more? | |
| Ok to use a Shunyata Hydra A-4 with a VAC 70/70? The Hydra A-4 is a passive conditioner, rated at 20 amps. It will not keep power "sags" from entering your VAC 70/70 amp and pre-amp. It will handle the current draw of both components. A dedicated line would be the first step. You would have to l... |
