I have the carver silver 7t Mono bloc and the impedance of the IC's set at med,is this right guys? I'm looking at the Silver 7t Manual now.it says, Input Impedance 115.Should I set the IC's to high? bare with me,I'm learning. thanks

    What does the MIT documentation say? For my S1.3 ICs they have 3 settings for different impedence ranges, but I forgot what they are.
    Lumin X1 file player, Westminster Labs interconnect cable
    Sony XA-5400ES SACD; Pass XP-22 pre; X600.5 amps
    Magico S5 MKII Mcast Rose speakers; SPOD spikes

    Shunyata Triton v3/Typhon QR on source, Denali 2000 (2) on amps
    Shunyata Sigma XLR analog ICs, Sigma speaker cables
    Shunyata Sigma HC (2), Sigma Analog, Sigma Digital, Z Anaconda (3) power cables

    Mapleshade Samson V.3 four shelf solid maple rack, Micropoint brass footers
    Three 20 amp circuits.

    Low: 5 >50
    Med: 40>100
    High:90 and UP

    Set them at Med and forget about it, as it covers the most range of gear. The docs state it clearly but you'll have to make your own decision.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.
