| phono stage for VPI Traveler w/ 2m blue I had a Sim Moon LP3 Phono Preamplifier that was reasonable in price and was dead quiet. They can be found for much less than 500.00. Read the reviews and I think you could use it in your system. Hope this helps. Steve | |
| Help on Power conditioner I experienced the same problem at my home. I borrowed a balanced power supply from a friend built from a kit from Transcendent Sound. It was incredible the improvement was immiedate. At the time, I was running two Classe CA-150's in mono. I never ... | |
| How to select a subwoofer Tls49, I am using a McIntosh 352 with Joseph Chow cabling. I have bi-wired the speakers. My front end is a Audio Horizons pre from Joseph Chow with a Audio Research CD Player and a phono stage from Lehmann for my VPI turntable. My audio dealer is ... | |
| How to select a subwoofer Thanks everyone for your input. Jim, I do really like the music output from my system but the bottom end is not quite as defined as my Aerial 8's. I might be chasing an elusive improvement. I am checking out the SVS folks. I never knew they existe... | |
| How to select a subwoofer I have the Tyler Acoustics Linbrooks Signature Towers. The bass is nice yet very low bass could be improved. The bottom end is reported as 25hz. Thanks, Steve | |
| Joseph Chow I got one the other day. I suspect that his laptop was stolen or his email account was broken into. | |
| Summer Power Woes Years ago I had the same issue. I put the meter in the wall outlet and it fluctuated more than is acceptable. I live in a rural area and at the end of a line. My more than satisfactory fix has been a Transcedent Power Conditioner. It is sold on li... | |
| Audio Horizons TP 2.3 I own this preamp and have two balanced outputs installed for my system's requirements. The option of the remote is nice for when the phone rings. I have owned and auditioned many preamps and have never regretted my choice. Hope this helps. Steve | |
| Pictures At An Exhibition CD My favorite rendition is Barry Douglas from 1987. This is solo piano on RCA Red Seal. It is an old CD but worth seeking out. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Steve | |
| Decent Power Conditioner in the $ 300-$400s? I recommend that you check the Transcendent Audio website for a power conditioner. There is a kit or factory assembled unit. It has done wonders for my system since my electrical power is very dirty. The price point is well below my fellow audio n... | |
| Experience with North Creek Speakers John, I was interested in the Rhythm/Revelator Signature which is something I would like to hear/audition. Thanks, Steve | |
| $3500 to spend on a tube preamp....ideas? My recommendation is to audition the Audio Horizons. I tried several pres with higher and lower prices and happily bought the Audio Horizons pre totally tricked out. I have no regrets. Hope this helps. Steve | |
| Dedicated line The mention in my post was unclear. I put in a new service panel for the entire house and drove two ten foot grounding rods which has helped my electrical issues. I think the prior posts agree with the ten gauge. The draw in my system was due to t... | |
| Dedicated line The question you ask needs more information. The issue of dedicated lines is a very good solution for many problems. The gauge of the wire should be commensurate to the draw. I would strongly recommend ten gauge or larger on twenty amp circuits. T... | |
| Preamp Options The suggestion of reviewing a preamp by Audio Horizons makes good sense. I auditioned some of the names you mentioned along with a Audio Research Ref III and easily chose a fully tricked out Audio Horizons. Hope this helps. Steve |
