| Ground Loop? Do your wattgate receptacles have an isolated ground? If so, check the specs. Call their tech support. Most, if not all, isolated ground receptacles will require an insulated ground wire. If this is the case and you are using standard Romex, your ... | |
| Ground Loop? Since you mentioned two dedicated circuits, are you using isolated ground receptacles? If so, check the ground wires. Remember, an isolated ground requires an insulated ground wire. You should not use Romex. The ground wire is not insulated. I’m n... | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles Coppy777, I agree. CJ makes high end equipment that is truly exceptional. The MV60se I own is no exception. This was the first post I’ve ever read regarding declining quality. | |
| Audio Research Financial Troubles Audioman58, If CJ quality has declined, should anyone consider having CJ update older equipment? I own a MV60se and have considered CJ giving it the once over. They will replace and upgrade caps etc. It works flawlessly right now but a complete c... | |
| speakers for small room How big do you want to go - stand mount or floor standing? I prefer stand mount speakers in your application. As previously mentioned, Heritage Specials are definitely worth consideration. I just scored a pair of B&W 805 D3 speakers. They meet... | |
| WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD? Possibly, for the same reasons you knowingly and willingly chose to type your question in all upper case letters. Makes you wonder why… | |
| Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet I would run both as well. It’s much easier with everything opened up. Another consideration is using grounded Ethernet cables. Remember, you can always run a line and leave it hidden behind the sheetrock until you are ready to use it. Take plenty ... | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality I would be the first to admit, I’m definitely not an expert in networking or audio. I got off the merry go round a long time ago. I’m open to new ideas and constantly learning from others on this site as well as others. That’s why I look to expert... | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality tvtgeek, you are definitely on to something most people don’t realize. Case in point, none of my jacks are plated for a grounded cable. I use plenum rated cat 5e cable and high quality jacks throughout my network. I have talked to a number of CEE’... | |
| Ethernet connection for best sound quality Do we have any CEE’s out there? The shielded cat 5e, 6 or 7 cables makes perfect sense. Installing high quality connections is also a no brainer. However, reading this thread brings up a few interesting questions. What internal components and desi... | |
| Ruminations On CD Players Soix, is spot on. The amount of hi-res music out on Qobuz and other platforms is impressive. Like many other Agon members, I enjoy listening to new artists and music by utilizing Qobuz. It will be interesting to watch how the use of CDs changes ov... | |
| Lush and Romantic Tube Amps I purchased a used CJ MV60SE several years ago. Luckily, it was in mint condition. I have it paired with a ET3SE preamp. It doesn’t have the power you are looking for but I think CJ amps are pretty robust. A Classic 60SE may fit your needs. As pre... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time I assumed, you were referring to the Bricasti streamer. None the less, a really nice unit. In my case, I had a 3K budget and was not interested in a combined unit. I’m using the EERO pro mesh router as well. Every extender is hard wired. I’ve had ... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time audphile1, the Bricasti is a very nice streamer. I was split between it and the Lumin U2 mini. I ended up purchasing the mini. So far, minimal hours on it, I am very pleased. I agree, you can’t go wrong with a Bricasti. Like you, I was only intere... | |
| I have perfected my network for the nth time cleed, with all do respect, we are both correct. Buffering is as you described. A device buffers data, keeps it in the cue so to speak. However, the term buffering is also used in the tech industry to describe the condition I referred to - weak wi... |
