| Power Cord & Power Conditioner Recommendations daleberlin These ASR guys are full of it. They, based on what measurement gear they have, make sweeping conclusions about the ineffectivenes of PCs, PLC, etc. When I challenged them with another test that documented objective significant "noi... | |
| Naim XS3 or Elicit-R to replace ELex-R Well, I was able to find an Elicit-R on Audiogon and purchased it. Build quality was excellent. The sound, however, was very unlike the Elex-R or the Brio I owned several years ago. It did not have the Rega "sound" I was used to. While it did f... | |
| List your breakthrough products that you’ve discovered on this audiophile Journey. In my 50 years as an audio hobbyist, there’s been a lot of stuff that gave me "ah-ha-s", but if I had to pick the one that floored me, it would have to be the Symposiuim Rollerblocks/Balls under my CDP. | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? Lots of good advice here save the link to the ASR clowns. Anyway, there are meters available (Entech, for example) which can measure a degree of noise in your home. My wife and I flip homes and do a majority of any electrical work in the renovatio... | |
| Powervar Mods? If you're still on Agon, post a reply and I'll show what I did. Easy stuff. | |
| Power Cords - Equipment Priority? I have to agree with boxer12 and jbrrp. Over the past 20 years, power cords have made the largest impact in my system when it came to cable upgrades (i.e., ahead of IC and spkr wire). Depending on your box count, IME the first place the cord sho... | |
| Can the Rega Elex-R Drive It? FWIW, I have the Elex-R driving a pair of Dynaudio Focus 110 (the older version- 4 ohm and 85 dB) and it does fine. | |
| Larsen speakers: 4.2 or 6.2??. Has anyone heard or own them?? Tim: We exchanged a few emails on AK a week ago. One question on the Larsen 4. What in you opinion is the minimum amount of power should I use for these? I don't listen at thundering levels, but don't want them to get sloppy due to insufficien... | |
| Audiomat... where to buy? Here's my 2 cents. I reviewed the Arpege for SoundStage! back in 1999. https://www.soundstage.com/revequip/audiomat_arpege.htm It is a fantastic amp. I like it so much that I became first US dealer. What the above posters said about service was... | |
| Recommendation for packing/shipping large speakers Well, the speakers are 60 lbs each and measure 43" x 16" x 12". I don't have the original boxes- got damaged in storage during hurricane. | |
| Yamaha A-S1100 vs Mctntosh vintge HI Matt: Thanks for the input, but I'd rather stay away from tubes. I did tubes for years (Quicksilver, AudioNote, Art Audio, Wyetech, Audiomat, and others), got tired of finding decent tubes without mortgaging the house, so I'd rather stick with... | |
| Yamaha A-S1100 vs Mctntosh vintge Hi: Driving Dynaudio Focus 110 stand mounts. My 45w CA800 does fine so I expect the Mc2105 to be more than adequate. | |
| New integrated amp recommendation Austinbob- how would you compare the sound of the two? | |
| Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i How can you add a LS-100 pre to the KWI since I cant see a main in set of plugs? | |
