| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Ok, one thing is for sure, all of you people can type better than I can! This has been an education for me. I had no idea most of the equipment discussed here even existed. Thanks for sharing your experience, and expertise, everyone. I'm now convi... | |
| are spike threads standard for speakers legacy Seems like 1/4 inch is right. You might want to get nuts as well so you can lock them from turning once they are set. | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Arthur.....I just reread all of this. I wouldn't mind keeping this discussion going. What Nsgarch said at the beginning is probably what I now have. A low level hum/buzz with the volume cranked, and the preamp set to phono. I hear it in the mid an... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps I'm good. The little hum (only with preamp set to phono and the volume cranked) is a not a problem. I will not be buying a big power regenerator in order to service my amp. That was the reason I asked my initial question. I will most likely find a... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Here's the thing. Can't use active cables anywhere in the phono area. I don't know if that is normal, but with that active cable from phono stage to preamp replaced, and the shielding on for everything else, the hum is very small....and I would ne... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Yup, can of worms. It definately has something to do with the active shielded cables, which are new to my system, btw. Turning off the switch to all the shielded cables makes a big difference. I have a non-active Looking Glass from TT to phono sta... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps My apologies, this thread is moving in two directions now. Nsgarch, the table is a VPI Scoutmaster with a thick, I believe, mdf chassis. Cartridge is a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood. The head leads go to a junction box separate from the tonearm where t... | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps A bit of news. The little buzz is only when the preamp is on phono, and the phono stage is turned on. Preamp on CD = dead quiet. Ground switches on the amp don't seem to have much effect. So the VPI is grounded with a wire to the ground on the pho... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Hornophiles, new discussion forum. | |
| Opinions on Power Regenerators and Tube Amps Nsgarch.....those items on the floor are mouse traps. Actually there are less of them now than there was when I took those pictures :) Currently, my amp and cd player (with VH Audio Oyiade shielded cable) are in the 20A circuit. VPI, phono stage, ... | |
| Home made cable lifters. Good One Fishboat! LMAO | |
| Whats more important? Speaker or the Amp Give me a great speaker and an old used amp and I will be happy. In fact, I have a $20 Luxman that is actually impressive. | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? Oh my, this is the second time I've mentioned this song in the forum. But you asked :) Once In A Lifetime, on Sarah Brightman's Dive CD. I can't imagine her singing those lyrics without blushing. | |
| My brand new TT was wired out of phase ... I had the same thing with my Scoutmaster. But one thing, do you have a CD player that is playing in phase? I did, and that is how I knew the problem was isolated to my turntable. Otherwise, you might have one of your speakers wired out of phase. I... | |
