| lowering gain in a tubed pre-amp Well --The jumper change made a huge difference -- in fact too much of a good thing. The Nagra jumpers attenuate a whopping 20 db. So now the volume control is between 12 O'clock and 4 O'clock. That's definitely better than before but....Anyawy, O... | |
| Solid state amp for Totem Model 1`s Agree with the need for juice with Totems I used Bel Canto amps to power my Totem Forests and Model 1 Signatures with pretty good results. | |
| lowering gain in a tubed pre-amp Onhwy61 -- well, that was sure stupid of me. You are essentially correct: the modulometer per se does not lower the gain, but there are jumpers in the pre designed to do just this -- it's been a long time since I looked at the owner's manual.So TH... | |
| 2.0 or 3.0 or 4.0 for HT Movie Audio? For my home theater set up, I ditched the center a long time ago and have never looked back. With good left and rigth speakers near the TV, I don't miss it. My understanding is that if I had people sitting very far to one side of the TV or the oth... | |
| whole house surge protector? All --Thanks for your responses. Most appreciated. I will look into the EP2050. I must say my reaction is similar to Cwlondon's. | |
| Lexicon RT-20 for SACD In my opinion yes. Lots of dissing of the RT-20 on this site, and yet there are several European reviews that describe it as a top performer. I had an RT-20 in my system for a short time and was very pleased with it. I went to a much pricier UDP f... | |
| What Outlets? My advice is to try a few different types and see what sounds best in your system. They don't cost much, can easily be resold, and it's not very difficult swap an outlet. They do sound different. Others will tell you this is nonsense. The Audiogon... | |

| WAF Help Please Found some great expandable braided sleeve stuff on ebay. Thanks for the excellent suggestions. | |
| Tube amp advice This is very helpful. Thanks everyone. Part of the reason I like the Kharmas is their small size. Not sure I'm ready to go back to something massive. I really do appreciate the suggestions and will check them out. | |
| Tube amp advice Hey guys thanks for the advice. Much appreciated. I forgot to mention that I am also interested in balanced inputs.Thanks. | |

| Is it okay to talk around your speakers? The best thing about this thread is that it prompted Al to give a totally untechnical response. And no, Al, I am not busting on you -- your very informative replies are always much appreicated. | |
| Is the new Apple TV better than Squeezebox? I have Apple TVs and a Squeezebox. Both work well. Wouldn't give either the edge sonically | |
| Pass X1 and Rowland Capri Preamps I agree with Swanny in some respects -- trying them both is best, as both Swanny and I did. I didn't think the XP20 was lean sounding -- it just sounded leaner and less musical to me, in my system, than the Capri did. I also agree with Swanny's ch... |
