Feature Article: Robert Harley’s
system setup secrets (part 2)
How an audio system is installed, set up, and fine-tuned has an enormous impact
on that system’s sound quality. You might have chosen some great individual audio
components, but that doesn’t guarantee you’ll get great sound.
If you have missed out on part 1 of this
excerpt, please download our previous newsletter now by clicking here.
Introduction
We continue our feature article (part 2) with
excerpts from world-renowned hi-fi reviewer
Robert Harley, Editor-in-Chief of The
Absolute Sound Magazine, on system setup
secrets. The excerpts have been compiled
from his book, “The Complete Guide to High
-End Audio”. All credit for this compilation
goes to the author.
AC Pow er Conditioners
Once your equipment is housed in a rack or
enclosed cabinet, you’ll need to plug the
gear into an AC power source. Rather than
plug the components into an AC wall socket,
you should invest in an AC power
conditioner.
An AC power conditioner plugs into the wall
outlet and provides multiple AC outlets for
plugging in your audio equipment (see
picture above). An AC power conditioner
is the single most important “accessory”
you can add to your system. In fact, I
consider an AC conditioner not just an
accessory, but also an essential component
of any high-performance audio system. AC
Authorized SA
Dealer Network
(E=Ecosse, S=Spendor, F=Furutech)
conditioners act in two ways to improve the
sound of an audio system.
First, AC conditioners filter noise from the
AC line before it gets to your audio
components. This noise on the AC power
line is generated by light dimmers,
refrigerators, motors, and household
appliances. Industrial motors connected to
the power grid also pollute the AC line with
hash and high-frequency noise. This noise
gets into the audio signal and degrades the
sound. A second source of dirty AC is your
equipment itself. Any component using a
microprocessor or other digital circuits (all
digital source components, A/V controllers
and receivers, and even some analog
preamplifiers) put noise on the power line
through their AC power-line cords. This
noise then gets into your other components
and reduces sound quality. The AC ground
connects all the chassis of an audio system.
If you’ve got a noisy ground on one
component, you’ve got a noisy ground on all
your components. For example, digital noise
in a CD player’s ground can get into your
preamplifier, with the AC power line acting
as a conduit for this noise.
All of these problems can be controlled with
a well-designed AC power-line conditioner.
First, nearly all conditioners filter the
incoming AC line to remove the
highfrequency garbage generated by
factories, neighbors, and your own
appliances. The filters allow the 60Hz AC to
pass, but remove noise from the line.
Second, some filters isolate the components
from each other with small isolation
transformers on some of the conditioner’s
AC outlets. These transformers break the
physical connection between components,

preventing noise from traveling from one component to
another. The isolated outputs are often marked “digital” for
plugging in digital components, preventing a CD player from
polluting the AC supplying the preamplifier, for example.
Third, a good line conditioner will reduce the amount of noise
coupled to signal ground. Finally, AC line conditioners can
protect components from voltage spikes, lightning strikes, and
surges in the power-supply voltage.
and the presentation has an ease and musicality not heard
without the conditioner. Not all conditioners improve the
sound, however. I recommend setting up your system initially
without an AC conditioner and living with it for a few weeks.
When you do add a conditioner, you’ll be able to immediately
identify whether the conditioner rendered an improvement or
not.
Equipment Set-Up Summary
Not all conditioners perform every function listed here;
conditioners vary in their design principles, with some
addressing one problem but not another. When choosing a
line conditioner, make sure its power capability exceeds the
power consumption of the components you’ll be plugging into
it. Each component’s owner’s manual will state the
component’s power consumption in watts. Add together the
individual power-consumption specs to determine the total
amount of power to be drawn from the conditioner. Compare
this number with the power conditioner’s maximum rated
power delivery. Choose a conditioner with a sufficient number
of outlets for your present and anticipated needs. As with all
accessories, if possible, try the power conditioner in your
system before you buy. Expect to pay a minimum of R2000
for a conditioner with just a few outlets, to several thousand
Rands for a state-of-the-art system. Many excellent
conditioners cost less than R8000.
TIP:
Keep AC cords away from signal-carrying cables.
If they must meet, position them at right angles to
each other rather than running them parallel to
each other.
A power-line conditioner can’t make poor audio components
sound good; instead, it merely provides the optimum AC
environment for those components so that they may realize
their full potentials. The sonic benefits of a good line
conditioner include a “blacker” background, with less lowlevel grunge and noise. The music seems to emerge from a
perfectly quiet and black space, rather than a grayish
background. The treble often becomes sweeter, less grainy,
and more extended. Soundstaging often improves, with
greater transparency, tighter image focus, and a newfound
soundstage depth. Midrange textures become more liquid,
•
Keep interconnects and AC power cords separated
behind the equipment rack and on the floor. If they must
meet, position them at right angles to each other instead
of parallel.
•
Keep digital data interconnects (between a separate CD
transport and digital processor) and analog interconnects
between source components and your preamplifier
separate from each other. The very high frequencies
carried by digital cables can radiate noise and pollute
analog signals.
•
Turn off your digital components when playing LPs.
•
Keep interconnects and loudspeaker cables as short as
possible, but always the same length between left and
right.
•
Position components for adequate
Overheating will shorten product life.
•
Ensure good contact between loudspeaker cables and
binding posts. Get the spade lug fully on the binding post
and tighten with a nut driver.
•
Clean plugs and jacks periodically with contact cleaner.
•
Maintain adequate distance between the preamplifier
and power amplifier. The power amp’s large transformer
can radiate 60Hz hum. This is more crucial in
preamplifiers with phonostages or with separate phono
preamps.

setup secrets (part 2) (continued)
•
Install the equipment on a sturdy stand. Vibration can
degrade system performance, particularly that of
turntables.
•
Don’t use light dimmers or fluorescent lighting in the
listening room. Dimmers put lots of noise in the AC line,
which gets into your components through their AC cords.
•
Experiment with AC power conditioners. They make a
huge improvement in some systems, none in others, and
can sometimes degrade system performance. Listen
before you buy. Some of these set-up techniques may
seem overly perfectionist, or capable of rendering a very
small improvement in sound quality at best. But all have
the potential of increasing the performance of your
system, and when combined, can result in a significant
sonic gain.
Taking your system to the next level of performance with
these products and techniques requires patience, listening
skill, and a desire to extract the last bit of performance. As
your system’s sound improves—and your set-up skills
sharpen— you’ll become more attuned to small performance
variations. It’s extremely rewarding to improve the sound of a
hi-fi system simply by using your knowledge and skill.
As important as these set-up techniques are, however,
there’s one that trumps them all—correct loudspeaker
positioning! All of the set-up tricks I’ve just described should
be based on the foundation of good loudspeaker placement...

secrets and guidelines from Robert Harley for speaker placement. Do

TV), all other efforts seem to have quietly faded into the
background.
Selected highs and lows for 2008 — Display Daily, 31
December 2008
•
A short column like this is not adequate to summarize some of the
display industry highs and lows, but what the heck…a quick
review of the year’s events finds these highlights and lowlights:
Only three PDP makers remain at the close of 2008
(Panasonic, Samsung and LG). Again, the industry will ask
how long this technology can stay in the market (rearprojection TV has essentially faded in 2008).
•
2008 started with a bang at CES with the death blow dealt to
the HD DVD camp by Blu-ray. The payoff has not been as
swift as hoped for as sales of discs and players have lagged.
•
•
LCD TV shipments worldwide have overtaken CRT TV
shipments for the first time, and the performance of
professional LCD monitors has risen to the point of being a
viable alternative to CRTs for content creation and broadcast
monitoring.
e-book readers are a real product all of a sudden. Amazon’s
Kindle finally found the right combination of price,
performance, content availability and ease of use to excite the
market. Expect this segment to explode in 2009.
•
Industry-wide implementation of energy- and weight-saving
technologies over a wide range of TV, monitor, and
notebook panels has been impressive and will have
significant on-going effects, not only in energy conservation
and recycling, but in cost reduction.
•
LED backlights came on strong in 2008 with momentum
clearly building in laptops, but not so much in TVs — not yet
anyway.
•
Thin was in during 2008 with developers vying for the
thinnest LCD TV (remember how the contest used to be who
could make the biggest display?)
•
3D has captured the attention of digital theater operators,
Hollywood, CE companies, game developers and even
distribution infrastructure companies. The gold rush has
started.
•
Pico projector interest was also at a fever pitch in 2008. This
enthusiasm is now seeing results with the first crop of
products in the market, with many more to follow in 2009.
•
On the other hand, expectations for laser-based projectors
have been lowered as the delay in low cost lasers has
stretched plans and forced closures and consolidation among
suppliers and developers.

food platters (and GOOD MUSIC!) at no cost! There is also no
entrance fees. There will however be a cash bar on the premises
where you can buy soft drinks and alcoholic drinks.
What to expect? Well, we will be showcasing all our brands
(Ecosse, Spendor, EmmLabs and Furutech) and the other guys
will have their brands (Rega, Valve Audio, Stockfish Records,
Naim, Grammophone, etc) on show.
All products will be on sale to the public; and might I say, at
discounted prices? Watch this space!
2008 also started with much excitement over the future of

FURUTECH DEMAG REVIEWED BY HI-FI WORLD MAG
SPENDOR S3/5R GRABS HI-FI CHOICE GOLD AWARD
Furutech’s innovative and award-winning CD/DVD/LP/cable
demagnetiser, the Demag, was recently (Nov 2008) reviewed by
HiFi World Magazine.
Spendor’s newly revamped 2-way bookshelf monitor, the S3/5R,
have recently won a GOLD AWARD for best loudspeaker
£500- £1,000 from much-acclaimed Hi-Fi Choice Magazine.
In short, this is what they had to say about the S3/5R:
"A variation on a long-established and much admired BBC LS3/5a
mini-monitor speaker design. Spendor has incorporated two decades
of engineering technology into the S3/5R standmount. Smooth, even
and unfailingly polite, this is not simply a loudspeaker for speech and
classical music; the Spendor S3/5R can deliver most kinds of music at
typical domestic levels with a clarity and coherence that set it ahead of
the pack.”
In short, this is what they had to say about the Demag:
"...the Demag-treated disk displayed an increase in soundstage width
and height. Instrumental separation was superior, accompanied by a
tightening in bass frequencies. Finally, the Demag produced a
substantial improvement of the stereo image."

Equipment tweaks / upgrades / advise / FAQs….
We will be covering FAQs on HDMI cables and HDMI technology in
the next few issues. If you have a question of your own, please e-mail
me and we’ll cover it!!
ATC, all connectors on such device must appear on the approved connector list. To add a connector to this list, the vendor must submit to the ATC or HDMI Licensing, LLC full and
passing testing results.
Question 5: What functionality was added to each version
of HDMI?
HDMI 1.3:
The following provides an overview of major functionality added
to each version of HDMI:
Higher speed: HDMI 1.3 increases its single-link bandwidth to
340 MHz (10.2 Gbps) to support the demands of future HD
display devices, such as higher resolutions, Deep Color and
high frame rates.
HDMI 1.1:
Support for DVD Audio.
HDMI 1.2:
Adds features and capabilities that increase HDMI's appeal for
use in both the CE and PC industries. Specifically, the features
and modifications for HDMI 1.2 include: Support for One Bit
Audio format, such as SuperAudio CD's DSD (Direct Stream
Digital), changes to offer better support for current and future
PCs with HDMI outputs, including: availability of the widelyused HDMI Type A connector for PC sources and displays with
full support for PC video formats, ability for PC sources to use
their native RGB color space while retaining the option to support the YCbCr CE color space, requirement for HDMI 1.2 and
later displays to support future low-voltage (i.e., AC-coupled)
sources, such as those based on PCI Express I/O technology.
HDMI 1.2a:
Consumer Electronic Control (CEC) features and command
sets and CEC compliance tests are now fully specified.
Creation of version 1.2a of the HDMI Compliance Test Specification (CTS), which includes a CEC Supplement. HDMI CTS
1.2a has been updated for technical consistency with HDMI
Specification 1.2a as well as to the recently released HDMI
Specification 1.2.
Significantly, CTS 1.2a contains additional cable and connector
testing and Authorized Testing Center (ATC) submission requirements. Specifically, under CTS 1.2a, the Adopter shall
submit for testing to the ATC any new HDMI cable whose
length exceeds previously tested cables.
Additionally, HDMI Licensing, LLC will maintain a list of approved connectors. For a device to pass CTS 1.2a testing at an
Deep Color: HDMI 1.3 supports 10-bit, 12-bit and 16-bit (RGB
or YCbCr) color depths, up from the 8-bit depths in previous
versions of the HDMI specification, for stunning rendering of
over one billion colors in unprecedented detail.
Broader color space: HDMI 1.3 adds support for
“x.v.Color™” (which is the consumer name describing the IEC
61966-2-4 xvYCC color standard), which removes current color
space limitations and enables the display of any color viewable
by the human eye.
New mini connector: With small portable devices such as HD
camcorders and still cameras demanding seamless connectivity to HDTVs, HDMI 1.3 offers a new, smaller form factor
connector option.
Lip Sync: Because consumer electronics devices are using
increasingly complex digital signal processing to enhance the
clarity and detail of the content, synchronization of video and
audio in user devices has become a greater challenge and
could potentially require complex end-user adjustments. HDMI
1.3 incorporates automatic audio synching capabilities that
allows devices to perform this synchronization automatically
with total accuracy.
New HD lossless audio formats: In addition to HDMI’s
current ability to support high-bandwidth uncompressed digital
audio and all currently-available compressed formats (such as
Dolby® Digital and DTS®), HDMI 1.3 adds additional support
for new lossless compressed digital audio formats Dolby
TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio™.
