| Jadis Orchestra Reference - Resistors Based on the size of other components nearby these have to be at least 1 watt devices. | |
| Turntable Mat question Atmosphere ...I would like to ask you about using record for record mat.You said that using an LP for record mat is trickier but should be the same hardness as traditional record mat. I have tried it ...sounds good.@rocky1313 What I said was But... | |
| Permanent 50hz @musicland1Its often quite normal for an amplifier to pick up noise if nothing is connected to its input. Its also normal for the amplifier to buzz if the preamp is connected but not powered up. | |
| Tubes or stick with S/S Several customers of ours have commented to us that our M-60s make the Tannoys sound the best of any amplifier they've tried. I get these comments but its rare that they tell me what the other amps are. It does appear though that if the amplifier ... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp Different speakers - I have considered this as a next step, and was thinking about Zu, Devore 3XLs, and Joseph Audio RM-25si, all of which I think would get my amp closer to the loafing so enjoyed by wolf_garcia's Carys. Any others I should th... | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? like it or not, certain loudspeakers are better than others with certain genres. Some are just plain better full stop.Well I wouldn't like it if it were true. It would mean I need over 100 speakers to play one music collection :) But it is true t... | |
| Ground Loop(?) leads to blow speaker You must have missed the OP’s last post.I did see that. But what we know is that the amp didn't fail- those fuses provide power to the amp, but the amp worked because filter caps in the power supply still held some voltage. That's my assumption th... | |
| Ground Loop(?) leads to blow speaker I'm trying to think of a way that a simple ground loop, DC or ultrasonic noise would destroy a woofer and leave the amp intact.None of those seem to be the issue; a ground loop can't do that, DC is blocked in any sane design by coupling capacitors... | |
| Turntable Mat question You do have to be careful with vacuum hold down. I have records that are permanently noisy on that account alone. A record mat has a specific job: control platter resonance and control LP resonance. If you can tap on the raw platter and it rings-... | |
| Noise from phono. Help please. This really sounds like a bad ground. Since the hum is worse with the arm plugged in, my bet is on the ground connection has failed. | |
| UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER Easy. Get a Technics SL-1200G and replace the platter pad with an Oracle platter pad. The Technics is more speed stable than the VPI (being one of the most speed stable turntables made at any price), and employs six different damping mechanisms, i... | |
| best subwoofer for stirling LS3/5A If I had a set of LS35/as, I'd set them up with the Swarm system from Audiokinesis. It might take a bit of adjustment due to the bass hump, but that would otherwise work really well in a small room, even if listening nearfield. Might be a bit out ... | |
| Any experience with Tannoy loudspeakers? However they would not be my first choice for Rock or Metal - there are better options out there for those genres. I’d start by looking at something from JBL, then maybe ATC, PMC etc. In my experience those genres thrive primarily upon attack, d... | |
| Recommendation for higher power tube amp @erik_squires Keep in mind his budget...****************@thosbA used RM-200 would be a good amp. BUT - tube power is expensive, which is why in the old days there were horns. Without going that extreme, I am wondering if it might be more practical... | |
| Why the fascination with subwoofers? What I really mean was not a LP limitation perse but an analog rig limitation because cartridges just can't track with applomb very low bass grooves.Telarc 1812 is a good example where I own over 120+ cartridges and only a few can track those c... |
