| First Test for tube bias on ARC Ref 110? It's surprising that Reference models of ARC do not have an auto-bias. Even if the most primitive autobias circuit is implemented, you don't have to worry about biasing for at least half of tube life. I don't clearly understand ARC philosophy beyo... | |
| How do I get the most out of the Squeezebox Touch Step 1: DACStep 2 and others are optional. | |
| About to buy Aerial 9s, BUT want to ask first... Aerial 9 isn't for tube amps in any room.Aerial 9 isn't for small rooms either. I have Aerial 10t(not tube friendly either) that are in 15'x20' with listening distance 6' and 6' appart. They're driven by 500Wpc of class D amps and I listen to them... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Hmmm... Nandric,Perhaps I should do some R&D to find out if there are audio components made in (Wherever) first or what components they're using and if they're being somehow blessed by Central Commitee. I've also ommited some other means of bl... | |
| Tom Waits Bad? To see him live is almost impossible for few reasons: Rarely tours and once on tour the tickets are more-likely sold shortly after announcement if announced. Street ticket scalpers would sell tickets to you for near 10x the actual price. He's a na... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Check with manufacturer if their line of pruduct had been blessed by pope, rabby or calif to find out precisely if it does. | |
| STI-1000 Overrated or not? Mc sound is great! They still have their prehistorical vintage design on their modern components of autoformer output, but they still compete against advanced electronic engineering monsters such as Bryston, Classe, Pass Labs, Plinius and others! ... | |
| Best internet stations for Jazz, esp. Classic/Cool I'd simply use squeezebox radio to keep it simple cuz most of internet radio broadcasts are luckily 128kbps.Interesting about Swiss Jazz! What artists have you been listening too? So far I've mostly been listening to German Jazz (Jazz-Baltica Hamb... | |
| Fastest subwoofer? Yes Hornguys, you can definitely "tweet it"!-) | |
| Unfocused Sound stage Stan,That one was primitive Creek 4330SE and there was a clear instruction not to swap speaker terminals or kaput.Your amps have isolated ground most likely. | |
| Receiver monoblocs Oh, forgot about separate volume control knobs:If you have one common remote for both of them, It'll be very helpful. | |
| Unfocused Sound stage I once accidentally swapped +- on the speaker and my brand new amp blown the whole output stage. Fuse didn't act fast enough to prevent output stage from blowing.In DC coupled amps DC component of signal is diverted to chassis. Connecting speakers... | |
| Receiver monoblocs Biamplification is simplier by Y-connecting both receivers from sources. You'll need to have speakers with biwired binding posts. | |
| Fastest subwoofer? Vandy 2wq is great and probably super fast since it has implemented Feed-Forward Error Correction, but may not be powerful enough depending on the room. If mono sub's not enough, I'd get 2x2wq that could be purchased for less than $500 used | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? Oh,I've also seen statements "checked by my tech(or dealer) for excellent operational condition few weeks ago"After unpacking and connecting the unit, you find that the balance knob is off middle position almost to 2 o'clock and indeed you need to... |
