| Baltimore MD I live in Forest Hill, I'm interested if this group is still active. | |
| What's next for the ultimate sound quality? I bought a used Sugden amp here and it makes an astounding difference in the sound of my speakers. Extremely warm, natural, beautiful. The sound from my Denon receiver is nice for video or background music, but never for critical listening. It sou... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Software quality assurance. HT/2CH system would retail for about 9k, but I've put it together for about 5K on A'gon. Just finished a purchase this weekend, in fact! =) | |
| Sugden a21 question.... I use the a21ap to drive my VR3s (93db) and it drives my speakers as sweet as can be, but I really can't turn the volume up higher than about 6 o'clock. I don't think 88db will be a problem for that amp, it punches like its a heavy weight. Try the... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? I'd be happy to solder in some new filter caps. I'll pop open the case and take a wild guess on where to find them... :) I'm getting bolder with my soldering iron in any case...Thanks again! | |
| Budget amps that can hold their own. You can pick up an older Bryston 2B amp for $2-300 if you look hard enough. Very sweet sound, 60WPC, suitable for more sensitive speakers... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? I did this test last nightWith the Bryston powered up and connected to the speakers, without any inputs, there is a low-level hum/hiss from the tweeter and midrange of my speakers!Also, now mind you this is a 19 year old amp, the transformers emit... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? Sooo,is it a valid, non-stupid, non-deluded audiophile smoke-and-mirrors trick to use an isolation transformer (or a balanced transformer, perhaps) to minimize a slight humming or buzzing sound (ie lower the "noise floor") emitting from my speaker... | |
| Will this isolation transformer limit power draw? I can find this information on the datasheet:802-GIS-500 Isolation TransformerInput 115Output 115Amps 4.35V.A Cap. 500Wt. (Lbs.) 16.0I suppose I will have to call Stancor to find the figures you mention - I'm not sure what V.A. Cap. is... | |
| Chose Denon 3803..now for speakers I'm using Boston Acoustics VR950 with a PV600 subwoofer (the sub is turned WAY down - I almost don't need it), and the sound is very nice, especially in pure direct mode. Bostons tend to have a full but somewhat bright sound, and the Denon has a w... | |
| How can I shield cables from interference? I guess you'd have to hack off the male ends of your power cables and install a new one in order to do this, right? What kind of solder would work best for a fix like this? I'm hunting for the right kind of techflex to do this with - one of their ... | |
| How can I shield cables from interference? What about running a separate ground cable from the shielding near the male termination, instead of removing the plug and soldering to it? |
