| Subwoofer advice The Audiokinesis Swarm is one of the better sub systems made and its not expensive. What's better is that it works best if placed against the walls, and the most important bit is that unlike single or dual woofer systems you don't have standing wa... | |
| Recommendations for Preamp for Balanced SPL Performer s800 ^^ New or used? | |
| Recommendations for Preamp for Balanced SPL Performer s800 What sort of budget do you have? | |
| Budget Tube Amp (newbie) Dynaco made an amp called the MkIII that was a 60 watt monoblock. This turned out to be a good amount of power for the original Advent. You can still buy the MkIII as a kit (looks like this is for one channel):http://www.triodeelectronics.com/trmk... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates And if they were reasonable why did Atmasphere delete many of the worst ones himself [which he said he had done] @jtgofish This statement is incorrect. I've yet to delete any of my posts and stand by them. You are also mistaken about my intent. A... | |
| Is Class D Analog or Digital ? @kijanki and @erik_squires have this exactly right.Its an unfortunate bit that class D and digital coincidentally use a 'D' in a significant way. 'Digital' can also mean fingers but for some reason we don't seem to have that confusion so often. | |
| Mounting Triplanar Tonearm to SME 20/2 Turntable Right???@millercarbon I do talk with the voice of authority fairly often, which probably isn't the best way to present things. But I try to temper that with simply not responding if I have any doubts. FWIW dept.: I own two Triplanars and Triplana... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? Ralph (Atma-Sphere) i got great sound with a Townshend Allegri+ with a pair of your mono's, one of the best sounds i have heard.The Townsend is a Transformer Volume Control rather than a simple passive (potentiometer)- a bit different in princip... | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? 'Ground noise' sounds like a bad ground connection to me.If you have a balanced preamp then the ground of the arm should also be the shields of the tone arm interconnect cable and tying to pin 1 of the XLR connections on your preamp. The '+' and '... | |
| Mounting Triplanar Tonearm to SME 20/2 Turntable I could also have a wooden disk cut to the same size circle as the SME arm board and attach the TP arm to it. I don't want to detract from the aesthetics of the system, but I suppose I can paint it black so it blends OK. This will result in ... | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators Besides a much more musically satisfying sound, the Luxman's greater dynamic headroom tends to minimize surface noise compared to what I had before. I expected excellent music but the surface noise reduction is an unexpected benefit from a de... | |
| Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass? they alll seem somewhat sterile and lifeless. IMHO, they all need a tube preamp to warm them up@lou_setriodes Nelson understands the importance of lower ordered harmonics since you can't eliminate distortion altogether (this is a lot bigger topic... | |
| New Preamp arrived.... My vinyl setup is so much better! Ballsy sound for the most part. Would this indicate the active preamp is exposing the DAC (Topping D30) to be thin? @gochurchgoYes. This is a common comment vis a vis analog vs digital. The Topping is great for ... | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? My amps sit by my speakers allowing for short speaker cables. I find with shorter speaker cables the system has greater resolution. But I also find that having the front end of the system in an adjacent room also helps as there is less vibration (... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates @jtgofish Oh- that was from the thread I was originally thinking of when you first posted. Again, I saw photos online of a product that was held together with hot melt glue internally and commented on it. Such a product when dropped in shipment ... |
