AVnut,What are the differences between using the VK50SE and the 861 directly into the amps? I also have a Wadia cd plyer and I am considering the VK50SE next year. Thank you.Rich 
Tara Lab cables have bad quality control?
I have returned one pair of Air 2 to Tara Lab for repair and I am getting ready to send in the second pair. The RCA connectors on both pairs were very loose and the ground was broken on one.I have several pairs of Tara Labs interconnects and speak... 
Problem with EAD Powermaster PM1000
It sounds like the inrush current at initial turn on is blowing the fuse. You might want to check the type of fuse that's being used. For high inrush current, a slow blow fuse works well but you should check with EAD for proper fuse rating and typ... 
Wadia 850 and Spectral DMA 150 matching without pre-amp
I have a Wadia 850 that I run into my Krell monoblocks and it works just fine. The Krell amps needs only 2 volts to reach its maximum power. If you are going to connect the 850 directly into the DMA 150, use balanced outputs. The 850 will provide ... 
Help Classe CA300 flashing Green Light
Angela,You might want to check and see if any of the speaker wires are shorted. This will cause the amp to go into protection mode. Good luck. 
110V/50Hz equipment in a 220V/60Hz country.
Motors in cdp and tape decks are dc motors so frequency change does not have any impact. However, TT motors tend to be ac and frequency change will affect its operation. 
110V/50Hz equipment in a 220V/60Hz country.
You might consider a PS Audio P300 or 600. I think you can order one that'll output 230V at 50 or 60HZ with input at 120. 
Any speaker cable's sound quality just blown you away?
I use two pair of Audioquest Dragons to biwire my system and I am pretty happy with the sound. 
What happened to Revel?
I am not sure what you mean by disappeared. Take a look at revelspeakers.com and you'll see all the reviews. If anything, I think Revel speakers may getting too much attention. 
What's phase 0 degree - 180 degree?
when the audio signal goes through an electronic crossover in either in the sub or processor, the phase of the signal is changed. The phase contol on the sub allows you to readjust the phase of the sub so that it is in phase with your main speaker... 
Balanced Cables-Need Help
Connect the ground and - signal together at the RCA end. On XLR end 1 should be ground, 3 is - and 2 is +. 
is genesis lens compatible with 24/96 signal?
The Genesis will NOT work on 24/96. PS Audio was working on an upgraded version but have not heard anything in a while. You might contact Paul McGowan at PS Audio for an update. 
Which Wadia?
Vtin, The 860 has two transformers and a better transport than the 850. The I/O cards are optional on the 850. The input card is about $1K and output card is $500. I recently boungt an 850 for $2100 and I am pretty happy with it. I will modify the... 
CD Transport for the next 10 years.....
I also have an EAD Signature pre/pro. Get a transport that has Glass ST fiber output from Wadia or Levinson. The Spectral, Sonic Frontiers T3, Krell KPS 20T and Wadia 270 are excellent CD transport but they work better with their own DAC's to take... 
Speaker Cables for Revel Salons
I believe the internal wires in the Revel speakers are Kimber cable so you might want to match that and use Kimber stuff. I am sure the Valhalla is really nice but it might cost almost as much as the speakers.
