| Seeking Advice on Stereo/HT Setup I leave the SLP-05 on all the time, both power supply and preamp. It sort of depends on how often you use it. If you use it daily, the conventional wisdom is to leave it on, which puts less stress on the tubes, since powering on is the worse time ... | |
| Seeking Advice on Stereo/HT Setup Enjoy! Great setup. | |
| balanced output VPI Brf - I understand the RCM schematics. However, you also need to understand the VPI configurations to be sure everything works in balanced mode. I am simply trying to provide a view of the connections on the VPI side. Fortunately, I think the VPI ... | |
| What is the benefit of a second amplifier . Mechans - 2 separate rooms is great. Unfortunately, for most, that is not an option. If you have one room for both, what do you think of a hybrid system? | |
| balanced output VPI I checked my Scout junction box. The sleeve of the RCA output is not tied to the ground nut. So, I believe the negative sides of R & L of the cartridge are connected to the corresponding sleeves of the RCAs, as I suspected. It seeems that the ... | |
| balanced output VPI Brf - I think the issue is how the VPI junction box is wired. I think the negative lead from the cartridge may go to the sleeve of the RCA, but am not sure. If it is, then there is a solution in just wiring the cable correctly. If the negative goe... | |
| What is the benefit of a second amplifier . Rrog - if you have 2 independent systems, do you advocate having 2 sets of front speakers, next to each other? That is what Mechans is suggesting. That seems unnecessary in most cases, although Shakedown seems to like it. Most people do not have r... | |
| balanced output VPI I am no expert, but here is what I understand. Sorry if this is too obvious and too long. Much of it is just repeating what has been said above. But, here goes anyway.A cartridge has a + and a - lead, with no ground. My guess on the VPI is that th... | |
| What is the benefit of a second amplifier . I have a hybrid 2 channel stereo and 7.1 channel movie system. I have the 200.7 amp. My speakers are Sonus Faber Cremona. The 200.7 had plenty of power to drive them, but the sound was bright, something B&K is noted for. It works well for thea... | |
| Home theater with hard drive music - Totally lost. You can connect a USB hard drive to the Oppo. The files have to be in wav or flac. You can convert Apple lossless to flac using the batch converter in dBpoweramp. I would suggest the 103 rather than the 93 for this, as the 103 has a better interfa... | |
| Hi, I'm new here, and I'm an addict... The Oppo 103 is a fine player, but the 105, when it comes out, (or current 95) has better DACs and is meant to be used when you want very high quality D to A, more than what your receiver can give you. This is particularly important for 2 channel ... | |
| Seeking Advice on Stereo/HT Setup I use a SLP-05 in this type of configuration. Connect you main speakers to the Cary/Adcom and the center, surrounds to the Arcam. If you want to use the sub just from home theater, just connect it to the Arcam. If you want to use it for both HT an... | |
| Judy Collins Coming of the Roads was on her Fifth Album (1965) which was a major part of the change to modern 60's folk. It included 3 Dylan songs like Tambourine Man and Daddy on Your Mind and Richard Farina's Pack Up Your Sorrows. Farnina's wife, of course, ... | |
| Judy Collins Sorry, I missed the reference. Yes, Roger Payne was the source of the whale songs for Farewell to Tarwathie. He approached her and introduced her to the sounds. Farewell to Tarwathie was the first time whale song were used in a large production co... | |
| Judy Collins Jimmy Webb wrote Campo de Encino many years ago and it has been done by a lot of people. Judy did it on Bohemian. It is about his time living in Encino CA, outside LA. I am pretty sure she never went there, but Joni Mitchell probably did. I think ... |
