| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Electronics isn't magic and fairy dust. It's learning and experience. If something is made for a dollar, it can be made better for two dollars. Either that, or you can completely screw it up and call it a learning experience. | |

| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Okay. Your amp is fine.Doctor Mark's reply, though considerate and correct, is just the tip of the iceberg. Feel free to experiment, learn and have fun. | |
| 110 volt to 220 volt - can i use my 15 amp power c Sorry, 220V in US/Canada has two hots, one neutral and one ground and requires special outlet/plug. There is a way to do it by abandonning the neutral, but that is not code and not advisable to someone without electrical knowledge. Electricians mi... | |
| Is Bi - amping worth the trouble? Not with your system.If you had an amp that wasn't up to the speakers, that would be a different story. Biamping is rarely as easy as plugging in another amp and wires. Unless you have another amp hidden in the closet or a friend willing to loan f... | |
| Step Down Transformer Actually, you need a step-up transformer or convertor. Most electronics stores (maybe not Rat Shack) carry some cheap convertors and that's all you need to drive a motor. A few hundred watts is all that's needed. Don't be worried about any audioph... | |
| Achieving Preamp nirvana with a SF Line 3? It is more neutral than many tube preamps but still has that organic quality. Very good bass and dynamics, maybe even a touch exagerated. Smeared highs with the stock Sovteks that should be replaced. Much better with XLR. Even better with balanced... | |
| MBL 101e's vs. Soundlab U-1's Can't help you decide but I can add to the confusion by suggesing you should listen to Genesis 201's. | |
| Tweeter quest Since that PMC is all active, perhaps the DEQX would help with the conversion, among other things. | |
| New Subpanel? If you're feeding it 220, make sure it has dual buses. | |
| Tweeter quest Had a friend convert the soft domes in his Dunlavy's. He found some that were a direct fit but required lots of playing with caps and resistors to pad them in. Fried one or two in the process. Even replaced the ribbon elements with aluminum foil.h... | |
| Using a 220v amplification equipment in the US I've used convertors on source equiptment and converted, internally to 110V. Shouldn't have bothered, convertor sounded better by small degree but had a bit of mechanical hum. Trying to find a convertor with the current for amplifiers might be a c... | |

| Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss? MachmanYou lose your forum cherry with the tube vs transistor argument and you nailed it, first time. | |
| Recommendations on Bohlender Graebener 512's The BG's have a great midrange but have a limit on upper and lower extension by the nature of those large ribbons. Wisdom uses proprietary ribbons and Genesis added tweeters.Brian at VMPS might have something if you don't mind tacking another pair... |
