| Power cables and power conditioners I never realized how much improvement can be had by tweaking how you connect yourself to the grid.I started at the panel, and ran two dedicated lines,20 amp breaker, and two runs of 10 guage wiring.One run is terminated in a 20 amp Wattgate that p... | |
| Dream system - but no aftermarket power cords Run two dedicated lines from a 20 amp breaker and use 10 guage wire.One line to power up just your amps, and I would suggest you try them straight and leave the power conditioner for the other line and all the other stuff.The manufacturer of my am... | |
| Cardas GR Biwired to double binding post Monster used to have adaptors so that you could plug a spade connector into them and the other end was a banana.I have done this and it works.You plug the "high"wires into the Monster spade adaptors and leave the Lows as spades.You then plug a spa... | |
| Finding a Power Cord that sounds great Here's how I ended up spending more money than I had planned on power cords.I had just purchased a new Cary 300sei and wanted to upgrade the power cord for it.I did this at the dealers.I used a cd player and a set of grado headphones and started e... | |
| best speakers for wyred 4sound sti- 500 I have the Red Dragon D amps and they have worked very well with Tannoy Ardens, Merlin TSMMMx, and Ref 3A Grand Veena.Your amps should be able drive just about any speaker even the most high efficiency types.My amps are dead silent, no buzzing or ... | |
| Power requirements for Acoustat 2+2s I had good results driving a pair of Acoustat 3 medallian mods with a Conrad Johnson MV75A-1---75 watts-6550 tubes.Where I wasn't so lucky was trying to drive Martin Logan CLS11z with a 75 watt VTL tube amp.The best sound you will ever get from an... | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? Thanks Bud, here's my take on your suggestion and also the results.I used simple solid core hook up wire from the Source(Radio shack)22 guage.I cut 4 x 24 inch lengths.I cut about an inch or more of the plastic covering off all ends.I braided each... | |
| DIY ground wire I am curious then about certain speakers, such as Tannoy,that have a gorunding connector on their speakers.Could someone explain how that works?If one end of the wire is connected to the separate(third)ground connector at the speaker terminals, wh... | |
| Do better ingredients make a better Ground Wire? Here's something to comment about.I have the Walker magic links(oh oh-magic).They are silver wired and silver spades.Do you think if I just plugged the neg spade into my speakers neg terminal I would do harm or would it be a quasi, albeit more exp... | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso Update.I revisited tube rolling with my Eclipse.A pair of NOS 5960 really did smooth things out and take a harsh edge off of what I had previously felt was decent sound.I agree completely that better tubes (left side)make this an even better pre a... | |
| audio valve eklipse or aesthetix calypso I have owned the Eclipse for a year now and have not had any problems with it.I tried the NOS tube thing and so far I have gone back to the stock EH tubes,the NOS tubes(RCA clear top)perhaps weren't up to spec,but other tube replacements were also... | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? Do you really need a great tube pre amp to get the best out of class D?I can say that for cd playing I run balanced (DIY Neutrik/mogami)interconnects from an Audio Aero Capitole 24/192 direct into the Red Draggon Leviathans and to me this is as go... | |
| Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's Back in 1978 I had JBL L65 Jubals and a Pioneer receiver.Never should have sold them.Not because they sounded that good, but because of what they would sell for today. | |
| ICE Amps for classical music? I am sure I am not the first to say this but since I am late to the party and have only read the question not the answers,there are good and bad amps in all genre that can do harm to classical music, or any other music for that matter.Wrong amp an... | |
| Shunyata Hydra requires a 20 amp.... I have a Hydra 2 and a Guardian 2, and yes the connector at the device needs a 20 amp receptacle,and the end you plug into the wall can be 15 amp.I also have a Furman IT 1220, that came with a 20 amp wall plug that you could replace with a 15 amp ... |
