| Power Re Generator capacity questions If you want to use a regenerator then I'd stick with the Power Wedge for your sub. The P10 only outputs 1500W of power so is not sufficient for all the rest of your equipment which needs 2500W at peak. Especially with a HT system I worry that peak... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions The sub seems to be the real question mark here and probably either should be left out or get its own dedicated (more basic) conditioner. Other than that your original back of the envelope of 2.5 kVA was very accurate! | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions OK -- here’s your answer, hope this helpsItem Standby Peak Source Adcom 5500 2 channel amp 199 855 GFA-5500 Service Manual per HiFiEngine Adcom 5503 3 channel amp ... | |
| Power Re Generator capacity questions Please please check your amplifier specs before going any further. Your power amplifiers will draw much more current than their watt output rating. As a for example I looked up the specs on an Arcam P49 2 channel 200 W amp. This is an efficient cl... | |
| Power conditioning from the ground up I can share my experience with balanced power having used an Equitech 10WQ in my last system. This is a big (385lb!) built in conditioner that while providing good power was a pain in use. I found the system to be unreliable constantly triggering ... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Continuing on my tale of SR power I've now received the Transporter Ultra SE and have it hooked up to all my source equipment. It makes another major step up on Michael's MPCs preserving all of the air and detail but adding much more bass depth an... | |
| Tonearm recommendation To be clear, I’m talking about changes in VTF of +/- 0.05g here so nothing that’s going to do any long term damage to anything. It may be just as much room temperature interacting with the damping in the cartridge, who knows and it’s certainly not... | |
| Tonearm recommendation No, not what I meant at all. I am well aware of the VTF/VTA interaction you describe and appreciate the need to adjust the two iteratively. First time I observed this was on my old TriPlanar and the effect was not subtle (from recollection 0.5G or... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Just wanted to offer another endorsement of the blacks. I’ve had bad experiences with after market fuses in the past but I just installed a set of Blacks in my DCS Paganini stack (4 boxes) and in my ARC Ref 2SE Phono and 40th Anniversary Pre. Stil... | |
| Tonearm recommendation ct0517 -- further to "repeatability" when it comes to tonearm setup. Firstly I should discuss my approach to setup. It’s the typical iterative VTF/SRA approach using a Cartridge Man stylus gauge (best device of it’s type I’ve found, unreliable lit... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Regarding the Durand tonearms I can certainly speak to the current model the Kairos that has replaced the Talea. As noted the tonearm material is now a composite rather than wood, as well as performing better I believe this material is easier to w... | |
| ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL Michelle, sorry for your loss. I believe you listed the system but it was probably removed by the administrators, guess it undermines the main site. Anyway based on my having had a chance to see the list while it was up it is clear you have a nice... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Further to my last post Micheal suggested I try the modded MPCs on my speaker cables rather than the PowerCells -- great suggestion as this placement (with Galileo MPCs back on the two cells) made a nice step up. It also freed a Galileo MPC to go ... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Just chiming in on this thread and am happy to add my experience. Based on a comment in my system description I sent Michael two of my old dual lead MPCs to mid to Ver.2. They are on my two PowerCells and surplus as I'd already changed them out to... | |
| Focal utopia Be Nova vs Magico q3 Thanks for the response, I must admit I don't bother with YouTube for looking at audio stuff, seems to be a bit of a waste of time, and detracts from the time I could be listening to my own system :-) |
