| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy I have found that a typical problem is that as you spend more money on a system you tend to listen to the system more than music. How is the bass, the dynamics, the resolution etc. instead of what is mozart trying to say in that piece. I don't thi... | |
| My B&W speakers Who says there not high end. They may be entry level pricewise but they are very good "High End" speakers. Go to this site for an excellent reviewhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0900/bwdm602.htm | |
| Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ? I never turn my 5400 off. With no cd loaded the laser is off and the motor is off. Only the electronics stay powered up which is better than turning it on and off. I had a 777es which was never turned off in 10 years | |
| The sound of glasswear It should work with no problem. I have used a passive with VTL amps and for a short time used the passive with my ASL Hurricanes. Sounded excellant. The output impedance of your Ayre should be low enough to work with any tube amp | |
| Any difference between tubes. Band equipment tubes are usually selected to have low microphonics. If you go to a electric guitar website you will see them talking about the same tubes and manufacturers we consider for home audio | |
| Ribbon Tweeters??? Not familiar with the ribbons you are talking about but the ribbons on my Maggies are the most beautiful tweeters I have ever heard. I think good ribbon tweeters are certainly as good and many times they are better than the best dome tweeters. | |
| Upgrading from Martin Logan SL3s Please do not use all capitals. Very hard to read | |
| MC loading at 47K Since you are stuck with 47k I would go with the Ortofon 2m black. I have the bronze and it is an excellant sounding cartridge | |
| Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp?? The Stratos will work with the quad preamp. Output/input sensitivity is fine. What speakers will you be using? | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem He said specifically he tapped on the preamp tubes and got a pinging sound. He also then says he gets that sound by tapping on the on-off switch of the pre-amp. Let's not lead this guy astray by not dealing with the actual problem he is describing | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem Another question. Does your preamp have the switch on the back for low and high gain? If on high switch to low gain and see if this helps solve your problem. | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem I don't think the preamp which he is talking about has adjustable tube biasing. A lot of preamps will ping if you tap on the tubes and does not mean that they are bad. Does the pinging get worse as you turn up the volumn? | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem The pinging you here is microphonics caused by high gain in the preamp. You might try tube dampers on your preamp tubes | |
| difference from higher input impedence on amp? I do not think you will here a differance considering the output impedances of your preamps | |
| SONY SCD-1 CD/SACD Player The Sony 5400es is much better than the 777 I had and does not have the same type of transport so there will be no sled problems with this unit. |
