| Problem with Primare I32 Amp 1) Always turn the power off at the back of the amp before plugging/unplugging anything on the unit.2) When the thing acts up, turn it off at the back and unplug it from the outlet and let it sit for a while.This has fixed everything for me. If I ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat 1) Where would one buy these mats? I may have missed a link in the thread; but a google search provided no hits for the mats or TC.2) How bad must your system or power quality suck to hear an improvement? I hear no background noise unless I put my... | |
| I need cables for my 2 channel system I have never bought anything from the Cable Co., But I have gotten some great deals on Zu interconnects and speaker cables on eBay. None of them made HUGE improvements over the Audioquest ICs they replaced or could best a pair of WireWorld Oasis 7... | |
| Great Value in Used Phono Preamp’s? Another vote for Musical Surroundings. I have the Phonomena II. I got a bargain on a used one. It's very flexible and sounds great. When I was shopping, my short list also included the PS GCPH. They don't come up used often and are usually over $5... | |
| Are there any really good cd cleaners out there? @tattooedtrackmanAnt report on the La Art du son cleaner? | |
| Please evaluate my system... I’m on my way over to your place now. The only way I can tell is to hear it. ;^)And I'll be glad to remove any component that detracts from the others. ;^) ;^) | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C Ok. Cardas responded that their Clear 4x24 is 16 pF/ft giving me 52.5 pF from the arm base to the PII. That most closely aligns with J. Carr’s first example at 32 pF. (Thanks @almarg , http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?15077-Cartridge-L... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C Hanna only states a lower limit of 400 Ohms and Denon a lower limit of 100 Ohms for the DL-301 mkII. No upper limits given. Yesterday I listened to Garcia's Run for the Roses, I have a white label copy that I haven't played much so it's in great s... | |
| Audiophile LP's I'm always on the lookout for great vinyl, ever since I found MFSL's Dark Side of the Moon. But it's been tough finding Rock, R&B, Folk; etc, music That is both well recorded and worthy of higher resolution. The content has to have some micro-... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C @catcher10, Why 475 Ohms? Why not 1000?BTW, I have no report on 100K yet. Too much new digital music to listen to at the moment. | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C To get started with LOMCs I first bought a Schiit Mani, then upgraded to an Emotiva XPS-1 and now the Phonomena, so that is the extent of my experience with MC phono stages. I will say that in my opinion the MM section of my Nakamichi Receiver 2 b... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C @cather10 Thanks for the encouragement. I like the PII very much and think I will live with it at least until I upgrade my tonearm. I had been running the Hana at 475 Ohms and 56 dB until I read this thread this morning. Then I put on the cans and... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C I am using a humble Musical Surroundings Phonomena II. My daily driver is a Hana SL mounted on a Sumiko Premier MMT with continuous wiring to the RCAs; ergo shorter or lower capacitance cable is not an easy option. The integrated is a Primare I32 ... | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... @supertweak, Do you really walk backwards on windy days???? Is that something I should have been doing??? I never got that memo.@mr_m , didn't they ask you who your favorite Packer was? Or beer?I thought this was a thread for levity. Am I wrong to... | |
| SACD Out of 350 discs I have 42 with layers that won't play on a red book only CD player. (That number may go up sharply now that I've found Dutton Vocalion, who sells SACDs for $20 here https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/ and on Amazon) Of those 42 ther... |
