| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative You have a lot of variation in both price and sensitivity. I'd try the Legacy Arris. | |
| Which Phono Preamp? Herron VTP2 is very well reviewed. Fwiw, I may not have the letters right. | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? And yet we can still land a vehicle on Mars, even fly something while there. More special pleading. So.....?What was the 1st thought that went through the mind of the Commander when that happened? You can lead a horse to water, But he may piss in ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? 96% of the Universe is MISSING! It is dark matter & Dark energy of which we literally know nothing. Higgs Boson seems to hold everything together, yet is totally elusive. It is the "God Particle" yet some scientists call it the Godda** Particl... | |
| REL t5i + ht1003 I had the same problem with hum. Rel recommends that you run an RCA from low input to any open rca's on the back of your preamp when running the high input. This acts as a ground. I had to do some research to find that but its straight from Rel. A... | |
| Never Use HiFi-Exquis - Worst Merchant Ever! I made a purchase from Hifi-Exquis in China In China? Hmm. During a pandemic which started in......Hmmm. Education is most often expensive. Hopefully, AE will be able to recoup your $$$. | |
| Replaced Mylar Belt with Kapton (Polyimide) Belt. Very Nice Results An Update.When I tried my TT again, it was obvious that I had a problem. I checked the belt and the adhesive had somehow returned. OK, back to the drawing board for NON adhesive Kapton. Apparently, Goo Gone, Soap & water and alcohol does not c... | |
| Audio Research VT100 MKIII Tube Replacement I’m confused by the question Are you trying to replace 6550 with 6H30? Or asking if there is a difference between the 6h30 and 6h30pi?Fwiw all 6h30 tubes are the same. | |
| Is this the best way? + 1 @noromance Some PC's are detrimental to the sound. I know APC makes computer surge protectors which I have heard do NOT make a good Hifi PC. The question then is whether this is a rebadged computer PC or a real Hifi PC made for hifi. I have no... | |
| MQA actually tested @jasonbourne52 Excessive signal processing never results in better SQ! BINGO!!! | |
| Is it a Merger or Bust? I tried it years ago. It seemed like a simple process to do. I put a 3 channel amp/processor in the tape loop of my 2 channel system. And, of course the rear and center channel speakers.It was OK at best & complicated as he** to operate with t... | |
| Is it Me, the Vinyl or the Equipment? I can only speak to the ScoutMaster of which I had 2 or 3. They were above the Scout, which I believe the Prime replaced. They were good TT's and I had no problem. As I said earlier, there are several things to check. VPI IS one of the better mfg'... | |
| Is it Me, the Vinyl or the Equipment? IMO, its something in the system. maybe your phono preamp. They have a lot to do with the sound of the TT. If its a tube pre, it may be a bad tube. Or if not, it may not be up to the task. Did you set up the cartridge? How about the cable from the... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience @ghdprenticeMy reply to your lack of understanding my postIts a Grown up position. its like when you were 4 yrs old and fell down and started to cry. Then your dad comes over, and, seeing that you are not hurt, he brushes you off & tells you t... | |
| My Terrible Emotiva Experience @himeropeI believe I heard you 15 or 16 yrs ago. Yep. Yer that little fellow that was sitting in the shopping cart, raising hell because your mom wouldn’t let you pull things off the shelf, aren’t ya?Nobody shot at you. That’s you, shooting yourse... |
