| ''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ? hmm wonder just how much audigon inventory is circulationg around that originated from unauthorized resellers?I hope someone with more expertise in this area would say something, as most of this is speculation on my part. | |
| ''Manuf. warranty '' with non-authorized vendor ? This is my second post. We will see if it gets through.In line with Tim916's post, perhaps the reason why manufacturers "turn a blind eye" toward the unauthorized channels is that the units entering said channels may not be 100% meeting spec like ... | |
| Cables for Audio Research congratulations. That is some excellent gear. FWIW I have been using Kimber HERO XLR from the LS15 to the VT100 and to my tired ears it sounds marvelous.I think the KS may be a notch above that so rest easy!D | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? Vman,Just do it. No one will laugh. | |
| ARC amps and 6550C Winged "C" small pins I bought 8 power tubes from upscale audio, SED 6550, and they feel like they are tight fitting. | |
| Promitheus TVC preamp do you think the bal ver will work in my system? | |
| Squeeze Box Love'n'hate ok, but they are pretty much about at the point where you have to radically alter the device, no? I mean the physical layout is optimized for transmission line for that specific topology. Perhaps a dropin footprint equivalent device exists, otherw... | |
| Squeeze Box Love'n'hate Thanks Steve.I thought (from the data sheet and the DAC1 implemenation) the SRC chip keeps the two clocks separate, though: 1) The serial data side (most jitter), and 2)on board 20 something MHz crystal,the clk signal of which is fed to the SRC si... | |
| Squeeze Box Love'n'hate Steve N.Can you please explain how the use of the pacecar reclocker would be of benefit when used between the SQBX3 and DAC1, over a good true 75 ohm tranmission line in s/pdif mode? As I understand it, the Benchmark DAC1 has an AKM 4114 S/Pdif re... | |
| Marantz SA8001 vs SA8260, and SA8001 mod questions i had both. THe 8001 is a tad more transparent, has better treble definition but is not as warm and romantic as the 8260. The rock sold transport was a huge improvement!!I liked the 8001 alot. Very high value player.I would say the biggest "weakne... | |
| What equipment or event thrust you into the hobby? 2 years old, my dad recorded christmas morning's on a pioneer 8 track (I still have it), I loved playing with the mics, wires, and watching the analog VU meters move when we spoke. I used to get in trouble (recorded of course) b/c I could not leav... | |
| A question I suspect reveals a lot of ignorance... Could anyone comment on the sound effects you hear as your power tube amp warms up? Also, what may happen if you start playing music loud with a tube power amp that has only been on for about 5 minutes (you know the impatient start to a listening ... | |

| audio research LS15 preamplifier anyone else ?I recently got a hold of my former LS15 and i'm wondering about the direct vs bal with TRUE balanced inputs. I will post my findings later... | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? EssentialaudioI'm familiar with noise induced by vibration as far as caps go it's a phenomenon pretty much only seen in ceramic caps (from piezo electric effects). Ceramics are rarely used in high end audio gear. I have actually seen the voltage d... |
