| Silver Plated Copper Balanced Cables The Kimber line includes the Silver Streak, which is the only interconnect that has a silver and copper mix of conductors. (http://www.kimber.com/Products/Interconnects/SilverStreak/SilverStreak.aspx) The KCAG is silver and silver, very transparen... | |
| Ultra high resolution Chris- All I can add to what Atmasphere said is, "AMEN". This is an excerpt from the Mark Levinson site: "Another factor in Mark Levinson excellence is the array of the ultra-high performance parts that populate our balanced circuits. Even the cir... | |
| Power factor correction None of the "power conditioners" that I'm aware of are actually correcting power factor. They eliminate the hash/noise/RFI/EMI from the incoming AC, protect from spikes and some stabilize the voltage. Someone out there has probably looked at corre... | |
| Ultra high resolution Joey- Don't worry, It really doesn't. Actually: Some mil-spec suppliers(Vishay, Caddock, etc) are used extensively in the best audio gear for their low noise resistors (http://www.ecircuitcenter.com/Circuits/Noise/Noise_Analysis/res_noise.htm), BU... | |
| Power factor correction An easily grasped treatise on the subject: (http://www.tpub.com/neets/book2/4k.htm) | |
| Cables Are Crazy, what do you think? As applies to anything else controversial in audio: For those that can hear the difference, no explanation is necessary. To those that can't(or refuse to) hear a difference, no explanation is possible. You will run into many in life that choose to... | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. OOPS: Make that- neutral on the "nickel". Some further info: (ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/electrical-wiring/part1) | |
| Adding a second power outlet to existing one. There is no "polarity" with single phase AC(125-130V/60hz house wiring). You've got a hot(usually black) wire, neutral(usually white), and hopefully an earth ground. An outlet can be "out of phase" with regard to other outlets in the house, if it'... | |
| Power cable polarity In the USA: electrical code requires the hot(120-130V/60hz/usually black) wire from the home's breaker to connect to the brass colored screw on an outlet(the right slot from the front), and the neutral wire(no voltage/usually white), to the nickle... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's Music has been a great love of mine for that past 45 years. If what I hear in the home doesn't live up to what I hear live(two or more times a week, acoustic and amplified), I can't get enthused at all. Most of what I own didn't cost much but my t... | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp I've been trying to remember where I hid it myself. If I could: I'd pay off my mortgage!! | |
| Tube Amp Help/Problem At what position is your control during normal listening/loudest volume? If this noise is present at normal volume control levels: As Newbee stated, you may be using noisy tubes or have a cartridge output/phono amp mis-match. Tubes purchased for p... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Onhwy61- And which of those companies offers a 500wpc power amp for $2500.00?(Read the original question) I know beyond doubt there are a lot of people that are happy with a "softer presentation" or a "warm, sweet, fuzzy, tubey" or whatever sound ... | |
| Bi-amping B&W 703's My digital source is a BAT VK-D5(6 NOS Siemens CCa's). Analog- a Denon DP-75(custom plinth)/Magnepan Unitrac I/Denon 103D. I'm bi-amping a pair of modded Maggies and some 8' folded, tapered, transmission lines, loaded with Nestorovic 10" woofers(I... | |
| Studio/Performance Amps for High-End Systems? Like I said: It's a short list(BUT an excellent one). The only one in Indiana is Sony DADC(Terre Haute). I've cherished the output of 20 of those studios/engineers on the list for years. |
