| Tact 2.2 XP: which configuration to get? If you use an outboard DAC after the TacT; your volume will be limited to the max voltage out of the DAC, and the sensitivity of your power amp(s). Be certain the DAC you intend to use will have sufficient output to drive your amp(s), and provide ... | |
| How international is your system? Since the last time: 3) Zu Mother power cords, 3) Synergistic Research AC Master Couplers(X Series), Wireworld Gold Eclipse 5.2 and Synergistic Research Tesla Apex interconnects for the sound system, an Oppo BDP-83 and PS Audio xStream Statement S... | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? There's no difference in operation the of a fuse, between glass and ceramic. 10A 3AG(31.8mm X 6.4mm) fuses are made in glass, but they are not common. ie:(http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=3SB%2010-ND) | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? How about here: (http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=F2511-ND) (http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detail&name=F2647-ND) You have no actual electronics supply houses in your area? Yes- You can... | |
| Fast/Slow fuse? Any REAL electronics supply house, in your area, should have the correct fuses for your equipment. Check your yellow Pages under, 'Electronic Equipment & Supplies'. | |
| pre amp tubes and gain That's true, as the gain is pretty much set by the tube's design parameters. As tubes age though, they lose many other attributes that engage us musically. | |
| pre amp tubes and gain As you mentioned; tuning, tweaking and lowering the distortion levels in your system can also lead to enjoying more realistic(louder) SPLs. | |
| amp clipping or low freq causing pumping speakers If the amp or preamp were motorboating, as in the case of a power supply problem, it would not be restricting to phono playback. | |
| Biamping Dahlquist subwoofer No problem! Enjoy your music. | |
| Best choices for hookup wire? See page 2 of this catalog:(http://www.percyaudio.com/Catalog.pdf), for a variety. You didn't specify a gauge, but one of the Cardas chassis wires would probably yield the presentation you desire(I prefer Kimber). Also- use either WBT Silver Solde... | |
| Something Vintage A bottle of Dom Pérignon, vintage 1921 or 1928, adds much of the richness you mentioned to my listening(not very often though). | |
| Equipment between speakers... The bookcase idea would actually get you a bit more depth to your sound stage, by the diffusion of your system's back waves. It would also go far to eliminate slap echo/resonance nodes in the room. If you are using planars; equipment actually betw... | |
| Biamping Dahlquist subwoofer You should have set the NORMAL/BRIDGED mode switch to, "BRIDGED." See pages 3 & 4 of the operations manual(http://www.hafler.com/techsupport/pdf/P7000_amp_man.pdf) Rockford-Fosgate can fix your amp (http://www.hafler.com/techsupport/index.asp?... | |
| what to do............ Keep in mind that all of your speaker system drivers are brand new, and they need time to loosen up(break in). All of the suspensions are tight right now, and it takes more power to get them to respond to the signal you're feeding them. Be patient. | |
| amp clipping or low freq causing pumping speakers The problems addressed by the site in the previous post are probably the issue, but- a filter such as that is a crutch that will cripple a high-end system(transparency/ambience/harmonics/timbre loss). Much better to actually address things like ca... |
