| Warning about "so called Hi Rez" downloads Agree it does seem a good percentage of 'HighRez' are just upsampled Redbook CD. | |
| Percentage of cable cost TEN PERCENT is a good amount of money to spend on cabling.More than that and you should have just spent the money on better electronics IMO.Naturally some 'cable crazy' folks think nothing of spending way more on cables. That is their free choice.... | |
| Use power conditioner to turn off amp I own an ACE 515. The Adcom power switch does not turn on the amp (high power) sockets on it's back. They stay on all the time if it is plugged in.The switch only turns off the other outlets, not the one for high powered items. | |
| 1 preamp out to a 2nd preamp in any harm? Luked. Yeah your idea is a good one. then you can control the volume of the sum a little better.Have the sub preamp follow (or be connected from or after) the main channel one. then the main channel master control is all you usually need to move. ... | |
| Use power conditioner to turn off amp Your integrated amp may have some internal relays to 'soft start' which may or may not work with the external turn on.You should ask the manufacturer.Many amplifiers have a 'turn on 12 volt system' which can turn on the amp from a sleep mode.If yo... | |
| 1 preamp out to a 2nd preamp in any harm? I do the one preamp to another all the time.I use one preamp to 'tube'ify' my digital sound, and that preamp feeds my main preamp.I also have another preamp I use for the tubed phono section, and that preamp also feeds my main preamp.Ny problems a... | |
| Parents need clear sounding 2 ch HT Clearer sound is possible.Various speakers have clarity as a feature.I find one of the best are Canton speakers with the 4" aluminum cones. The Canton CD series.Then a small power conditioner can help clean up the sound.For an inexpensive means so... | |
| elevating subwoofer... Studs. Various automotive parts, and even home bits are double ended threaded rods.Find some the right length, sharpen one end with a cutting wheel or such.. Or which have a rounded tip at one end.Find studs which fits your screw in lost parts. Th... | |
| Can Tube Amps be Used for Home Theater? Big mistake to leave tube amplifiers on all the time.Tube amplifiers have large and dangerous voltages in them, and leaving them on, unattended is very dangerous. They need to be under ones' watch as at anytime a power tube may 'blow' and start a ... | |
| How Strict is Harbeth on Damaged Outgoing QC Seal The seal may have been broken by customs.They do whatever they want to inspect items entering the country.That is probably why the seal was split. | |
| Ticking noise in Audio Research Reference CD7 Sled motor.The rails may just need a little lubrication.Actually you can open up the unit and move the overgrease already in there back onto the rails for free.Usually it is a white grease in lumps at the end of the rails. Just spread it around ba... | |
| Best Krell amp for a 15amp wall outlet. Run your amps through a Fruman REF20i with a powerfactor giant cap to 'stiffen' the power. You might be suprised at the improvement.A Torus works too, but the Torus power device would need a 220V supply. (to deliver 120v) | |
| Do glass shelves affect sound Quality? All my racks have glass shelving clamped at the sides in 'U' shaped slots. I added packing to the slots, (besides the nylon clamping setscrews)Then most of my stuff is on butyl rubber feet (under the stock feet) and/or clamped between the shelves ... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? The holes can be pretty big. I think as long as the 'cage' covers the entire opening (like a Faraday cage) you are good. I would say holes as big as a cheese grater, or a screen for a window would be fine) | |
| cable interference? My guess is some component has a bad capacitor.It works OK at first, but after being left on it starts failing.It has nothing to do with cords or interconnects |
