| Ground Loop Video and advice. For Authorized McIntosh Service, use your zip code in this Service Locator.You should be able to use another input. If AUX was used for HT bypass, then you would need to change HT bypass in the preamp's setup menu to the other input selected. | |
| audiphile power cords Audiolabyrinth, as I said the power cord consists of 3 conductors.Hot - 20 runs of the smaller wireNeutral - 20 runs of the smaller wireGround - 20 runs of the smaller wirefor a total of 60 runs.You should use 20 in the AWG calculator for number o... | |
| Which would you choose? Even though this is a second system, I'm sure you want good synergy between the amp and preamp. For unbalanced (RCA) connections, there is very little risk of a problem, however, for balanced (XLR), the SA/3.9e will be very limited for a properly ... | |
| audiphile power cords Thanks Al, your input is always very much appreciated, and I'm sure sometimes my answers are influenced by what I have learned reading your posts.Tony | |
| audiphile power cords Audiolabyrinth, I believe you are confused again. A power cord consists of 3 conductors, hot, neutral and ground. The gauge of the power cord is the gauge of one of those conductors, not the 3 combined. Tara Labs specs the Cobalt as a 10 gauge pow... | |
| audiphile power cords Audiolabyrinth, if you are referring to your Tara Labs Cobalt, I think you are confused. It uses 60 runs of a smaller wire to make 10 AWG, not 60 runs of 10 AWG. It would be impossible to terminate 60 runs of 10 AWG to the Cobalt's connectors. Als... | |
| audiphile power cords Sorry, but I have to disagree with this statement,I used a double run of 10 AWG, which is the equivalent of 4 AWGFor equivalent wire gauge of a double run using same wire, you double the cross sectional area, not the diameter. Looking at this wire... | |
| Musical, high powered Amp under $1k 05-31-14: Zd542You would probably like a Rotel RB1090.I'm thinking you meant the Rotel RB1080 at 200w/ch, as I can't see this 2-way monitor needing 380w/ch. | |
| Classic Tuner While the demand for FM tuners is not what it was years ago, there is still somewhat of a market for them, especially ones that perform extremely well. In the last 3 months, 4 Kenwood KT-917 tuners sold on ebay, with all of them selling for more t... | |
| Speaker hum problem - need help I was able to do the extension cord test. Used a (probably) 14 gauge 25 foot Home Depot type extension cord. Tried it in two separate outlets: one across the living room from the outlets I've mentioned, one down the hall. NO CHANGE!This test is no... | |
| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? So, what is attractive about a large black sock with a piece of wood trim at the top and bottom? Am I missing something? | |
| what amp under a grand? IMHO, I think side wall distance and back wall distance being the same at 30" is a problem. I know sometimes you may be limited with positioning, but look at this Speaker Placement Guide and notice the difference between side wall and rear wall di... | |
| what amp under a grand? granite plinth under viennas.What is the floor? wood or carpet?Are you using spikes under the speaker or is the speaker cabinet sitting directly on the floor? | |
| what amp under a grand? Agree with Mtrot, as I don't think the amp is the problem as long as it is functioning properly. Could be a room interaction issue. What is the distance between the speakers and back wall, also between speakers and side walls? | |
| Denon AVR-4802R Well, I believe I can overcome optical digital output only from the TV, however it will only work if your TV can be set to PCM and not Dolby Digital. This also prevents main room Dolby Digital, but a different surround is possible. Connect the TV'... |
