| amplifier power consumption Hi again, AlNo, no new cables... cables are routed cleanly... standard cable with rca ends... no dimmers...yes, i was under the impression that both these people were talking about a power regenerator built into a ups (or that all ups' were power ... | |
| amplifier power consumption Face: Well, the situation is this: I used to own a pretty good setup (unison unico, rotel transport w/ msb link dac III with half nelson upgrade, variety of speakers including Neat mystiques, StudioLab Ref 1, NHT 2.5i). This setup sounded great w/... | |
| amplifier power consumption thanks a ton, guys! i really appreciate this help.Perhaps i was confused with what my techie suggested (although i doubt it).I may just try one of the cheaper units from APC for now (since i can always return it) and report back here as to how it ... | |
| amplifier power consumption by the way -Stangely, a very good service technician whom i know suggested using even the CHEAPEST one by a company called APC (the unit that puts out 200w). He states that he has all his equipment (all tubes) ALL connected to it (amp, cd player, ... | |
| amplifier power consumption Rrog, my amp has been modified and puts out more power than it did in its original state, but i will look on the back of the amp anyway (hadn't actually thought to do that! duh!)Riley - thank you very much - I may just go out and pick up one of th... | |
| Old Rotel RCD971 vs. Marantz cd5003 by the way, Layman...Despite the room 'actually' being large, it's more like a small room - trust me on that. The speakers are sized appropriately. I feel the carpet is the biggest culprit.I put my speaker stands on a 12x12 tile, which just rest o... | |
| Old Rotel RCD971 vs. Marantz cd5003 Hey Layman,Thanks for your words...Yes, i agree - that damned carpet in my place sucks the life out of everything. I already have the speakers set up optimally (i've been fiddling w/ placement forever), so placement is not the issue.Regarding the ... | |
| Old Rotel RCD971 vs. Marantz cd5003 Hey guys...i really appreciate your responses - very helpful.Having read both of your replies, it doesn't sound like the Marantz would work, however I now wonder how the Cambridge 640a would fare (i THINK it's in the same price bracket as the Rote... | |
| Help with Totems I recently listened to both pairs hooked up w/ entry level naim gear.Arros - quick, light, open, very good imaging, crisp. Bass is good quality, but does not plummet very low and, as such, is not a great choice when it comes to low notes. However,... | |
| The most hilarious ad ever on Audiogon? Wow. At first I thought this was real... I think i'd better stop smoking those 'funny cigarettes';) | |
| Still liking my PSB Stratus Gold i's the ones i liked from back then were the silvers. They sounded better in smaller rooms, however. Shit, how old am I again? | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Hi guys!PHil, you're right - my head's SPINNING now! ...and I thought i was confused before! Knownothing - thank you for your suggestions regarding component isolation. I have tried a wide variety of tweaks in this regard. I currently have my amp ... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required I have installed an energy esw v8 into the system (which i don't normally use for two channel audio). I have it dialed in perfectly to round out the bottom. No doubt, it adds some dimension to the music; it, however, doesn't solve my problem of 'l... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Gunbei -The Rotel is not particularly veiled, I'm certain of that. I used it directly with a Unico and Neat Mystiques in another room and it was just fine (better with the link dac III, but on its own, i had no complaints). I will also have a PS1 ... | |
| Lost - Your combined experience required Mapman and knownothing: the previous owner of the sugden had it running a pair of totem model 1s without issue. The current reserve on tap is substantial on this amp, so I do not believe this to be the issue. When I mention 'breaking up at higher ... |
