Thanks Nate! I am nearly positive the transformer is the issue. I plugged the amps into the wall and all is happy. I might try to find a bigger one as it seems to do a lot of good in my system.

In my defense, I used the search engine

Sweet! Still pimping RSA stuff?

Nm, Nate saw my question in another thread. It's a funny thread though. Sorry for the Necrobump.

Lol at this thread. How can I size an isolation transformer properly? I have a 1kV and pretty sure I need double that. It is acting up on me. (Transformer VA rating / line voltage) across all components good enough? Should I add in headroom?

The corner horns are very interesting. They remind me a lot of the first time I listened to Stax. They are unassuming and unimpressive in many ways. The low end of the piano is to die for, very nice. The thing I cannot make up my mind about is driving, low-end bass.... Am I a closet bass head? Who knows... I need more time for sure... I also have run out of current on my balanced isolation transformer I know that my CD player, preamp and mono blocks must draw more than 7.5A? That's crazy... How does one size these things, transformer VA rating divided my line voltage times losses? I am close I think as my box gets really really warm and strange buzzing and turn on thumps from hell. Hrumph...

I believe it's closed now

Forming impressions I need to get my vinyl rig up and going again

If I recall, there should be more than 1 weight included? It's been a while..

Whatever happened to that TACT that was floating around HC? Jim's or Al's perhaps?

Very close to getting to listen to my new speakers now. Just need to use some spray adhesive on the felt in the morning, let that out gas a bit, install the drivers and move tons of stuff around in my listening area to make room. Woot!

Don't work yourself too hard though. O_o

Interesting. I assume they are interchangeable and just unscrew like my DX4s? Any desire to try the new ones? I have the shower head type and would like to try the older bullet ones at some point.

Just curious, what phase plugs do/did you have? Did you ever do any comparisons?

No, it was more a comedy of errors instead of the other kind, but things did work out in the end.

Guess who was in town today?

I've always been curious about the Zyx CPP-1

#1 is my vote

... Gould and Mozart heh.

I had my Torpedo case powder coated and took lots of time masking things off in order to avoid these issues. Sorry I didn't notice this earlier or I would have walked you through how to do it...

I am back. I like Monteux Beethoven's Symphonies.

Barenboim's Piano is consistently wretched. That is all for now.

Actually, I believe it was considered proprietary until fully standardized. It was more or less Apple's implementation of a standard that then became another standard. I have talked to people that knew it as Chefcat.

I'm an expert too! Signed some lawyer papers today on what could best be described as a laughable work situation. Next time we have drinks I'll have to fill you in

Oh come on Steve, we wanted to see your latest build! Wait, I have pics:
