| Test Record Options 4Yanx, drop me an email. I had a source for the HFNR discs but it may have dried up. I know that they had very few left when i purchased a few a while back. I'll check and let you know. Sean> | |
| Amp Hum This could be a lot simpler than i thought. I've run into this on other amps, including B&K. Pull the lid and check to see if the toroidal transformer is tightened down. I have seen where these were not snugged down properly at the factory and... | |
| Impressions of the Anthem AVP 20 I think that the Anthem is a very nice piece for the money. However, i do not think that any of the preamp / processors that i've heard can compete with a good preamp when it comes down to music reproduction. Sean> | |
| Amp Hum Is the factory cord actually grounded i.e. a three pin connector ? If it isn't, you might have the polarity reversed on the plug or the outlet. This can introduce a hum into the amp which is then fed through the speakers. Sean> | |
| Home theater question Any speaker can be used for HT operation. Whether or not it is optimally suited is another question. The main obstacle in this type of situation is having immense power capabilities that one needs to drive such a load at the drop of a hat. I know ... | |
| Pure Power Unsound, that would depend on the batteries and amount of draw upon them. The use of deep cycle batteries would allow longer than normal use without the need for charging quite as frequently. Then again, batteries of high surge capabilities ( such... | |
| What about dips in power??? This is the very reason that many people are going to such things as the PS Power Plant's and Monster power regulators. Both maintain steady voltages so long as power remains above a specific level. Obviously, there is a point that these devices w... | |
| Pure Power While i have a great amount of respect for the engineering capabilities and products of Studer / ReVox, i have yet to see an inverter that did not produce a GOB of interference. Nor have the ones that i've looked at produced a very "clean" sine wa... | |
| Audiogoners, I love you........ Kevziek, i look at it this way: If i run my mouth ( or keyboard in this case ) often enough, something that makes sense is bound to come out sooner or later. I'm just glad that you folks haven't strung me up and stoned me yet : ) Sean> | |
| Weird Bass Reponse on my Speakers. Follow this link. It is a step by step program on how to correct the frequency response irregularities of your analogue RS SPL meter. I have done this to a few meters and it works MUCH better. Combine this with using a higher grade external electr... | |
| Ideas for shipping vinyl?? Try contacting Audiogon member "Hellerfi". He has sold many, many, many LP's and shipped via USPS. I'm sure that he'd be glad to help you out. Maybe he'll see this thread and respond here. Sean> | |
| Vandersteen Mod 5 vs Coincident Tech Total Eclipse Touching on some of the other comments, the Vandy's ( or is it "Vandie's" ??? ) offer in-room tuning of the low frequency section. This this is probably one of the hardest areas to get "right" in any installation, i would rank this feature quite h... | |
| Cat 5 cable for audio? Those thinking about using Chris VH's 27 pair braided CAT 5 speaker wire design should be made aware that this is a high capacitance design. As such, it can send some amps into oscillation. If using anything more than just a very few feet of cable... | |
| Speaker placement along the long wall Obviously, this type of situation would be pretty speaker dependent. Having said that, i tend to prefer setting up speakers on the long wall if possible. More direct sound with less side-wall reflections taking place produces a very vivid soundsta... | |
| Audiogoners, I love you........ I have to second Kevziek's comments. While i frequent a few other audio forums, this one feels the most like "home" to me. This is probably because of the great people that make up our "family" and community. To all of those that have helped me in... |
