On long runs of IC cable Xlr could have an advantage, but i dont run a balanced system or long IC's so for me it is a moot point. thanks....WCW III

Bunky:

What do you consider long runs of IC's? I arranged my Mono SEs on the sides of the racks behind the speakers. I purchased and use 6' ICs (made by Klaus) to run from the Candela to the amps.

Balanced only works 'better' on long noisy runs AND if both amps and preamp have truly balanced circuitry to convert between the standards. Many just tie the 2 + pins together (or even just leave 1 disconnected). In my HT setup, my main runs to the front for LCR and sub are approx 38' and both ends are balanced properly. For less than 10', it's likely not necessary and even longer than that if the preamp will drive the longer cable.

thanks guys,another ? ,if my wife wants to watch TV ,does Candela have to be on when in HT bypass mode,or will she simply have to turn on the Pioneer Elite and go??? thanks John

John:

When I am using my Denon 3806 for HT I set the Candela to HT and turn it off. I seem to get great HT sound!

son of a b#%*^,my amps are at fedex customs(sumtin like dat)and they need stuff????????????????? anyone familular with the next step......it is because they exceed $1600 so stuff has to be done? thanks bummed out JOHN

mclsound,
They may need import documentation. I've thought Fed Ex would've been big enough to handle any customs needs,could be that there's documents needed from Klaus. I had an amp shipped to me from Canada and I had to find a broker to handle the paperwork needed as I changed trucking companies at the border. There was a bunch I had to fill out and return to the broker,took some time. Not sure if this is the same situation or not,has this come up previously?

hi Wolfman,called Klaus,waiting to hear back. thanks John

Wolfman · « **Reply #97 on:** 25 Jun 2007, 11:49 pm »

Hey John,
More and more "t"s to cross and "i"s to dot these days. Let us know how this turns out as I would be interested in learning more about cross border shipping requirements.
Good luck!
Kirby

Your situation is a real bummer! Good luck on getting the amps released soon.
