| If I install '20A dedicated circuit' Like most things "it depends!" Primarily on the quality of the AC supplied by your power company. Dedicated circuits cannot eliminate voltage fluctuations (not good for tube gear especially, because the bias current is affected), nor can they (wit... | |
| Wall mount rack options for all components Even standard 2x4 stud walls can carry an amazing amount of weight (just think hardwood kitchen cabinets filled with dishes, canned goods, etc.)God is in the fasteners. If I wanted to (or had to) support everything off the wall, and do it for a re... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 John, thanks for the additional info. Now I understand what you did.For those who aren't aware, and to back up what John mentioned, using balanced interconnects (if your equipment allows) between (especially) cartridge > phono preamp > pream... | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics Greg is right, Soundlabs would be (you should excuse the word) AWSOME, in that room! And so would the new Martin Logan Summits. Both provide plenty of bass of their own. But the big Soundlabs were built for a room like that -- it would be a marria... | |
| How long do speakers last? What kind if speakers are they? | |
| Speaker suggestions for less than ideal accoustics I'd kill for a room like yours. (Although you didn't mention the dimentions -- about 30 x 30 or 25 x 40?)You're in a position (if not vetoed) to "islandize" your whole listening setup to the middle of the room, thus avoiding image-destroying refle... | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 John, I enjoyed reading your write-up on the different phono cables/setups, but I think I got lost somewhere:You had the SB w/ DIN on your Linn. Then did you try a different SB (RCA to RCA) on the Clearaudio?And was the Venustas RCA to RCA you tri... | |
| Power cord 15amp and 20amp Jim, sorry for the confusing attribution in my post. I am not Jim Aud of Purist Audio design. I was merely quoting something he explained to me over the phone a few months back.My name is Neil.I'm glad though, that the rest of my explanation was c... | |
| Power cord 15amp and 20amp Everything said so far is correct, but just so you won't be confused/misled when reading certain power cord descriptions, please note the following:Quite often, cords are described as "20 amp" cords even though they have 15 amp hardware (plugs). T... | |
| How long do Cassette Decks last Most of the drive problems can, I understand, be solved with a simple idler wheel replacement/upgrade. If you're mechanical, you can probably do it yourself. The part is about $10. | |
| How long do Cassette Decks last I've had my Nak CR-7a since '88. It works just fine, although it hasn't probably received much use in the last 10 years, I still use it occasionally. I'm going to start recording again though -- making compilations from LPs. Why not burn CDs inste... | |
| Balanced power compatabilty census Thanks John | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 I don't think he's shouting Kat. I think his "caps lock" is stuck in the 'on' position. Now tbg, well I don't think it's the same story exactly. . . . . . . | |
| BEST TONEARM CABLE PURIST VENUSTUS GRAHAM IC 70 I have the PV which replaced my original vdH SME V cable. I think there is a thread here somewhere that discusses/compares all the ones you mention except for the Nordost. See if you can find it. (I'll look too ;~)) | |
| How do they do it???????????? So you're saying the boxes (inner and outer) had no physical signs of rough handling or being opened, but the speakers themselves were damaged? (You didn't say what damage exactly)Were they big speakers, or small monitors, andIs there any possibil... |
