| Master Clock questions - cable length etc A shorter cable like the 50 ohm you mentioned is not good because of reflections from end-to-end. Stick to 1.5 meter and 75 ohm! Any make will do! | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc Regarding cables - all you need is a true 75 ohm cable 1.5 meter long from transport/streamer to DAC. The make doesn't matter as long as it is 75 ohms and 1.5 meter. Canare is good! | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc All modern DACs have an input stage that automatically reclocks incoming data. An external reclocker is not necessary! A waste of money! | |
| Which turntable Do you need a cartridge? A Grado for $89 will work well on the Project 1. | |
| Which turntable Get the Project 1 mentioned in elliottbnewcombjr's post above. $299 + free shipping! This is a good deal! | |
| Counterfeit Buddaheads? That was probably intentional by the band when they did the mastering! | |
| Herron 360 preamp tube rollers? Get vintage Mullards or Telefunken's! Not the fake new cr*p! | |
| Any feedback on www.the-repair-shop.com in Dallas, GA? Appears you have been ripped-off! | |
| A Hidden "Feature" of the Cornwall IV How much is Klipsch paying you? | |
| High Efficiency home speakers or Pro speakers - Recommendations Forget all of the above! Just get a pair of Tekton Moabs and a good two-channel amp. No need for a center channel and sub's! Don't fall for the home theater "speakers on all sides" bs! | |
| Are warm or colored speakers disrespectful of musicians/producer/engineers? Which speakers do you have in mind? Bose 901's? Klipsch Horns? Altec A7's? JBL 100's? These are all "colored" to some extent, yet have fans! Yes, a speaker with flatter frequency response and accurate phase will serve music better! | |
| Ideas for amp to run woofers on a bi-amp system. Crown XLS-1502! 525 wpc at 4ohms! 8.6 lbs. Fan cooled. $449.00 with free shipping from various online sellers. Sure, it's class D - but so what! If I needed a new production amp for bass duties in my system this would be my first choice! The XLS15... | |
| Other Rectifier tubes Alternative for 5AR4 For instance, the 5Y3 (aka the 80) has much less current handling than a 5AR4 (GZ34) or a 5U4. It will quickly red plate (overheat) if used as a substitute! | |
| Other Rectifier tubes Alternative for 5AR4 Use what the circuit was designed with! Different rectifier tubes have different voltage drops and limits on current draw. Plus different current draws for the heaters - which can overheat power transformers. | |
| "Amplifier Noise Floor" and hum acceptable? Hum is not acceptable! That Parasound 5-channel amp has an internal ground problem someplace between the circuit boards and the chassis. The design team should have fixed this problem before production! Nothing you can do externally will fix it! |
