| Mono amps and different length speaker cables 12-12-13: GrannyringWhat if one cable is coiled or bent more than the other? Or one is an inch higher off the floor? Or if one is over wood and the other carpet? If one bends to the right and the other to the left? Well, that last one happens a lo... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables So much of this stupid hobby is psychological, I will always be aware SCs are different lengths and wondering if hearing differences instead of just enjoying the music. Therefore, always same length for me. | |
| Solid State to replace Audio Research REF110? Don't hold me to this, but I seem to recall that Kal or Len once explained that ARC deliberately chose not to use fuses or auto bias circuits because the components were artifacts that could potentially degrade the sonics. To the best of my knowle... | |
| Krell KSA-200s First Time Use 12-10-13: BifwynneProf. John, just a wild arsed speculation here, but is it possible the amp is tripping because it needs to be hooked up to the speakers. Maybe the open circuit is doing it. If not, it's time to call the factory.Exactly my thought... | |

| "tutorial" on computer music servers Check out Bryston BDP-1 or BDP-2. It's basically a transport for digital music. Just connect external USB Drive with your music to the Bryston. Since music is loaded into memory before play, quality of USB cable will not effect sound quality. Then... | |
| SET amps ? 11-21-13: Clio09When a "?" is used to me that is an interrogative. So IMO the OP is asking a question as to whether or not this is the time to try a SET amp. My answer is simply "maybe," but don't rule out a push-pull.+1 | |
| Equitech with digital only? It's a balanced Power System. Google equitech and balanced power.Like all power conditioners, it lowers the noise floor. You hear a blacker and quieter background. With noise, you don't realize the amount until it's removed. | |

| Equitech with digital only? I had a EquiTech 2Q and it's the best active conditioner I had in my system. The digital, analog switched and unswitched outlets all sound different. I use digital for DAC and unswitched analog for my amps and pre. If I ever go back to active, pro... | |
