| Best fuses for under $50? @nonoise - let us know how things are after 200 hours. lol. rhodium can play tricks on you and it will change several times during break-in. | |
| Two preamps are available.... Sometimes the date of manufacture is printed on the serial number sticker. It is usually displayed as month/year, such something like "05/14" or "05/2014". Not all manufacturers do this. | |
| Need a preamp with tone controls! I started really looking at the P7 and I can see why Erik continues to recommend this time after time in multiple threads -- as a good priced preamp. In this budget area, I would choose the P7 over the P5 or 2100 every time, even though you don’t ... | |
| PREAMP technology shift? - Class A/ balanced/ dual-mono/ zero feedback vs. op-amp preamps You have so many questions, I’m not entirely sure what you really want answered here. Though, it seems you are looking for a good preamp. In general op amp technology has really advanced with opamps that have come out in the last 10 years. However... | |
| Need advice regarding B&W center channel to match B&W802D's There were some significant changes made on the Diamond tweeter motor as well as the tweeter crossover between the "D" generation and the "Diamond D2" generation. | |
| Two preamps are available.... Ask for serial numbers. Then check with the manufacturer to see if they can tell you the exact date of manufacture. Then buy the newer preamp. In all audio equipment, the electrolytic caps will age. The younger device will most likely have the... | |
| speaker wire recommendations needed There's a used 6 foot pair of Kimber 8TC on used cable:http://www.usedcable.com/product.aspx?iid=9655&mid=6548&cid=-1 It's more than your budget, but you're probably not going to get 8TC for $120. | |
| Wiring two systems to one set of speakers...crazy? Yeah, not a good idea. When one amp is powering the speakers, the voltage would cause damage in the other amp that is currently turned off. If you want to do this, your best bet is to use two different sets of speaker cables with banana plugs an... | |
| Most important feature in desktop DAC/Amp : Mixer Hah, I've got one better for you:Behringer Xenyx 502This was my original mixer before I got into Rane/Ashley. But since you can get them for $20 shipped on ebay, it's almost a waste of time for me to try to sell this. lol. | |
| Most important feature in desktop DAC/Amp : Mixer Did you ever figure out a solution? You can buy a used Rane MLM82a on ebay for less than $100. But be careful because many of these are not including the A/C power supply adapter cable (it’s a special Rane cable with a phone like connector -- NOT ... | |
| McCormack dna1 to Sony 1040 @tls49 - well isn't that a heck of thing!! Gotta read the fine print! This is the first time I have seen a Zone 2 that does not control volume. Huh. This receiver, if it is a Sony STR-DN1040, is pretty useless for the OP's purposes. | |
| McCormack dna1 to Sony 1040 @edsnipered - you have not confirmed the exact model of the receiver you are using. If you are using the Sony STR-DN1040, then there is only one way to connect it to the McCormack amp. You have to use the Zone 2 outputs on the back of the receiv... | |
| Mills MRA two types of different brand ? I know I’m probably jumping in here late, but I’m doing some research on resistors for a project I’m planning next year. The "Vishay Mills" is on my short list.The older NOS "Mills" resistors are black in color.The newer "Vishay Mills" resistors a... | |
| Best fuses for under $50? Just as a note, I had a high current B&K amp a long time ago. It tended to blow fuses, and it turned out to be an IEC cord that was really loose on the IEC connection end. If the power cord plugs do not have a good tight connection, it can s... | |
| Interconnect recommendations for BlueSound Vault 2 to my Marantz 7702MKii Try the Wire World Eclipse 7 (NOT the Silver model). These are very good resolution, but are not bright/harsh. All the detail is there, but with a slightly laid back signature. I have also heard Cardas is on the warm side. |
