| Will power conditioning really help? Daimbert, this is a great opporunity for you as a newbie to search the archives. This topic has been discussed thoroughly from the house breaker panel, to dedicated lines, to outlets and outlet covers, power transformers, power conditioners, conta... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Rockadanny, I suspect all your smilin' and toe tappin' won't mean squat if your friend reads Audiogon discussion threads. :) | |
| XLR/RCA adapters problem - Electrocompaniet think I will just give up and run single ended. That's what I did, too. :)If you ever buy a balanced preamp, you may notice a benefit running with balanced interconnects. Otherwise, I agree the RCA>XLR adapter route is not ideal, and ads an ad... | |
| Sony KD-34XBR960 or Sony KDS-R50XBR1? We all see TV displays according to our subjective likes and dislikes, so I'm certainly not going to question anyone's personal preference.Network television production is my profession. Television networks and professional broadcast facilities us... | |
| XLR/RCA adapters problem - Electrocompaniet I owned an EMC 1-UP, and tried a similar approach with adapters and made-to-order RCA>XLR cables. Rwwear's comments are exactly correct in that not all XLR connectors use the same grounding scheme. My first set of RCA>XLR cables caused a hum... | |
| Sony KD-34XBR960 or Sony KDS-R50XBR1? A CRT TV, and certainly a Sony CRT, will always be superior to a rear projection TV when considering black levels, contrast and color accuracy. | |
| poping in one of the speakers If it is a tube preamp, it could be a failing tube. This has been the case in my experience with a similar situation.If you do have a tube pre, try swappping the L&R tubes to check if the popping switches to the right speaker. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I want those speaker designs that provide accuracy in reproducing the signal I am hearing from either tubes or solid state electronics. How else do you really know what you're hearing? It is common sense to choose a design that had at the heart of... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE 01-15-06: StevechamThe only speakers worth owning are those that are accurate in reproducing the original signal fed them.And that means only Thiel or Vandersteen. ALL others are NOT accurate and LOSE much of that information by losing harmonics t... | |
| Sound of chip amps / gainclones? Do you think I could put a current version of Peter Daniels Patek amps (in the 100WPC SE mono configuration--as written about in 6Moons) behind my VR4JR's and a long run (20 ft.) of speaker wire? I have a Modwright preamp.Why not? I have 30 foot s... | |
| Starting Over--Amp First IMHO: Speakers/source---Preamp----amp---power conditioner----cords---speaker cablesWow, Warren, really? In that order? That provides entirely new insight into the workings of your audiophool mind. | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? Server, shmerver. Go low tech. The drive will eventually just crash anyway.:) | |
| what is the REAL deal with DK Don't assume that new posters don't know the cast of characters either.OK. However, I'd rather not assume new members do know the cast of characters, and if I was a manufacturer, I'd prefer to play it safe by covering my ass. | |
| what is the REAL deal with DK Charlie101, most Audiogon members who have been around for at least a year are aware of Michael Wolff as a manufacturer of cabling, so when I asked him what comprised the rest of his CES system, it was naturally assumed he was using his own brand ... | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? Cwlondon, you might enjoy experimenting with recording your CDs to cassette tape using a good Dolby B/C cassette deck and high quality tape (like the TDK SA). Cassette decks are dirt cheap these days...probably less than a jar of contact enhancer.:) |
