| Time for POT? previously owned tubes I strongly warn against doing any critical listening on pot, you probably won't be happy, when you re-assess your purchase straight.Definitely agree, even a jam box can sound great when one's attitude has been adjusted.Ws_trader, curious as to wha... | |
| Time for POT? previously owned tubes I agree Brf, and I'm thinking he lives in a state where this particular type tube has been legalized, and may be slipping into non-acrophobia. | |
| Receiver/Power Amp Question I agree with Paraneer, rather than just adding a power amp, and using the AVR for the preamp, you can get a nice integrated amp with HT bypass. This will sound so much better than adding a power amp. | |
| Bidding Frustration I would contact the person to whom I sent a counter and asked them to let me know as soon as possible if I received another offer and told them the time frame I needed a response or I would move on. To me that would be the honorable thing to do.Th... | |
| Upgrade power cord for MC 275 and c2300? The typical wall outlet is on a circuit with other outlets and possibly lights. A licensed electrician would install a dedicated line by adding a breaker to the box, running wire from that breaker straight to an upgraded wall outlet with no connec... | |
| Upgrade power cord for MC 275 and c2300? Power cords can definitely make a difference, however if you don't have a dedicated line/lines and upgraded AC outlet, I would do this first. | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? One thing for sure, bi-wiring is more expensive, and IMHO, anyone in the business to sell cables would be an advocate for everyone to "buy-wire" :-) | |
| Using same speaker pair with two different amps Here is another option if your receiver has a 12V trigger or switched AC outlet.Niles SPK-1 | |
| Marantz AV7701 Here are a couple of choices for the ground loop isolator you need.http://www.cs1.net/products/jensen_transformers/VRD-1FF.htmhttp://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/DISTRIBUTED-BY-MCM-4170-/33-8700They usually cost $25 and up, so the one at MCM is ... | |
| How to biamp these beasts option 1 or 2? Lexicon's website states the CX-5 is 140w per channel with all channels driven, and is stable with a 2 ohm load. Have you tried using just 2 channels of the CX-5? If Usher's recommended power handling is 150 watts, what is the reason to bi-amp res... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? I would also be interested in the "3/5 configuration", as I have a friend that uses 8TC, and he always wants to try something different. I assume it means to separate the 8 conductors of each positive and negative leg into 3 and 5 rather than 4 an... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? "Coupled with a crossover designed specifically for bi-wiring. . ."Very good point, Kjweisner, and as I said, just having multiple connections does not mean this is true. There are some, like Vandersteen, that specifically design for bi-wire, some... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? Bifwynne, getting custom jumpers and only using half of the Kimber 8PR would not be a fair test. A quick easy way to eliminate bi-wire is to install the jumpers with the 8PR connected as it is now. If you could use a short piece of quality wire to... | |
| Bi-wire: is it worth it? They have four terminals, and can be bi-wired.Keep in mind that a vast majority of speakers "can be bi-wired." IMHO, very few have actually been designed for this, and for most of them, it is just "audio fashion."A few years ago, while reading a Q... | |
| Wireless speakers for Pioneer Amplifier Maybe something like this,Advent AW823C Wireless SpeakerYou could keep the speaker in one of the kitchen cabinets, then just set it out to use.Do a search for "900mhz wireless speaker" and you will find some other options. |
