| In Room Frequency Response Measurements The owner says it sounds great. I have my doubts.Onhwy61 (System | Threads | Answers | This Thread)I can understand both opinions.I can easily see where someone would believe that the system sounded better after a manufacturer had personally come ... | |
| Can I ground my preamp? 10-08-10: RrogIf you are having a ground loop problem you can drop the ground on your amps and leave the rest alone.Did that in my system. Didn't solve the problem. | |
| Any impressions? Morrow SP-3, Straley Reality I have owned both. They are pretty close in clarity, IMO. The Morrow cabling may have a bit more upper end emphasis, but it's a very small difference.

Whatever the noise reducing element: circuit design, power supply, power conditioning, cabling, etc.No... | |
| balanced connection, better than single ended? TVAD, I don't know which sounds better since I never used balanced interconnects.Phd (Threads | Answers | This Thread)I was suggesting that you'll have to do some experimenting.What's certain is that you won't be able to make a definitive determin... | |
