| Has anyone tried clarus crimson speaker cables? These wires take a LONG time to burn in (200+ hours). Do not be fooled by first impressions. Be patient...be patient...be patient. See my full review of the Crimson bi-wires at http://audiophile-musings.blogspot.com/2013/10/clarus-crimson-speaker-... | |
| Crimson Speaker Cables? The Clarus Crimson cables take a LONG time to burn in (20+ hours for the interconnects and 200+ hours for the speaker cables) and this may attribute to what some of these impressions are. See my reviews at http://audiophile-musings.blogspot.com/20... | |
| Are the Crimson cables as good as they say The Clarus Crimson cables take a LONG time to burn in (20+ hours for the interconnects and 200+ hours for the speaker cables) and this may attribute to what some of these impressions are. See my reviews at http://audiophile-musings.blogspot.com/20... | |
| Is Anyone Using The Oppo 105 As A Preamp? See my experience using a bdp-105 as a preamp to my MC-2100 at audiophile-musings.blogspot.com. All in all I agree that it needs a bit of taming down and sounds too sterile. Running through my Dared MC-7P sounds much more natural but straight to t... | |
| Dared MC-7P optimal tubes BTW, the remote is acting up. The antenna is a wirewound bundle that is sensitive to orientation (left/right, up/down, front/back) and when I move it, results swing from unresposive to strange orienting remote positions. Any suggestions? | |
| Dared MC-7P optimal tubes Finally put the preamp on the bench to see what the heck this sibilance is all about. A 1KHz square wave has a bit of ringing with current configuration. Ended up loading the interconnect cables at the amp end with a 1K ohm, 1/8 watt resistor to t... | |
| Dared MC-7P optimal tubes Sound is everything. Settled now on Mullard 12AT7's in place of the 12AX7's (left hand pair) because of the high gain in this preamp (too high). I've documentd the tube swap and sonic differences (email me for a PDF at philip@okstatealumni.org for... | |
| The Downside to Dedicated Lines vs. the Benefits You are correct in your concerns. Improper grounding creates ground loops not only internally to the circuit but also from component to component. Fortunately today, most high end equipment manufacturers have learned what the medical industry has ... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp difference? The issue lies in the wiring in the walls. The NEC specifies that the temperature of a wire cannot exceed a certain threshold when the maximum current is continuously used. This is specified to prevent electrical fires occuring inside of your wall... | |
| Is my wiring 15 or 20 amp? The breaker is 20 amp All 20A breakers operate 15A circuite as per the National Electrical Code. Has to do with continuous vs. peak currents. | |
| Help with distortion If the above does not fix the problem, it sounds like a failure in the OpAmp null of the Sony. Here's the scenario: your Sony uses OpAmps for analog gain and these typically use +15V and -15V power supply voltages. When one of the regulators goes ... |
