| Isolation for a table for floors with movement Inpep.., a great idea and one I used extensively in the 70's and 80's. I've mentioned this on other forums and it seemed so foreign to some that I don't even mention it anymore. I would not hesitate to do so today as long as you can get solid supp... | |
| Mylar tape on Teres has lots of static. Thanks for your help guys. I am thinking that the static is caused by the belt slipping on the motor pulley at start up. Considering the weight and size of the platter in comparison to the motor pulley, I doubt that static can be avoidedThe static... | |
| Isolation for a table for floors with movement Jsawhitlock is correct but you may want to use 2 jacks with a 4x6 spanning across the jacks and supporting all the joists which are under your system. Depending on the span you might use a 3rd jack in the middle. For a footer use a 4x8x16" solid c... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thanks Samhar. You're right. My wife is also my best friend and has been very supportive of my music need. I have also ordered a tube amp and am looking forward to receiving it anad see how it compares. I must also say that since a few tweaks, thi... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thom,I put the resistors back in on the secondary. They are 4.7kohm. i had them in the primary position before. I'm sitting and listening now and WOW. It really sounds nice. I'm still considering a new phono preamp though. Let a JLTI get by me tha... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Dan ed. Everything has a price. Wifey is making plans for the possibility that we will have to take her mother in. They need a place to put me. Of course, that's fine with me. We talked about building a shop out back with a listening room above. I... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Back from funeral and some progress made.First, I took the loading resistors out which raised the load to 470ohms. This didn't make much difference. Then I replaced the silver cables with inexpensive Wireworld Ic's. This made some difference but t... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I will be out of town for a funeral for a few days. Unfortunately, my sister died on Wed. I have lost the 4 closest people to me in the last 2 yrs, 3 of them in one yr.I have not had an opportunity to make any changes to my system yet because I ha... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. I have updated and added pictures of my system so you can see it now. Lewm. Thanks for your explanation about wattage. i should have known that from my days of playing in bands and using PA systems. With a PA you usually run your master volume hig... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thanks to all for your input. Regarding loading, it is set at 42ohms. However this is done via cheap resistors installed in RCA plugs and inserted into a Y connector at the input of the tranny. FWIW, I have never been completely comfortable with t... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Thanks Tom. i am a firm believer in the necessity of a good phono preamp. You may be right about the Wright though it too has been a very good preamp. Even so, i understand that the chain is no better than its weakest link. | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Yes, Doug. the 2500A is still in service. i guess i'm surprised that the 2500 would b the weak link since it has sounded so good in the past. I've been wanting to get into tubes for a few yrs now. AAMOF, I was looking for a tube preamp when I stum... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. Sanhar, A koetsu would make a nice present for her wouldn't it?I'll try to address some of the suggestions. First, it is all the albums that have a tendency towards brightness in my wife's opinion. Listening fatigue sets in for her after a few alb... | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. One more thing in the equation is that I play this quite a bit louder than the Scoutmaster because I can. I think this is part of the problem | |
| Help. Wife says Teres 340 Is too bright. maybe I didn't make myself clear, so i'll try to cover some questions. First, the new components are the Teres and the Origin Live arm. The Benz was on the scoutmaster and was brought over to the Teres.The Scoutmaster sounded very good but there w... |
