| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? does the Elgar give you any protection for surge, like a close lightning strike?Yes. | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Cannot see how it can get much better and I have heard some great tonearms.As I have mentioned, the stock arm is as good or better than many 'high end audio' arms. It could be playing bass better though and could be a bit more neutral (the arm tu... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Since degree of pumping varies with the LP and repeats precisely with the record's revolution, drive problems probably is not much involved - confirmed by cleaning belts and adjusting the player - no big difference.This comment really suggests ... | |
| Current, Amperage So, how much ‘current’ do I need? And, is this a rating or spec that is provided? Don't worry about the current!What is needed is the power to drive the speaker in such a way that its frequency response is flat and that its loud enough without aud... | |
| Best balanced linestage/preamp for $4000 or less ??? I was going to suggest a used Atma-Sphere MP-3, as Charles did, except that I’m pretty certain it only provides a single pair of XLR outputs, and no RCA outputs, at least in its standard configuration. If you can find one that you would want to... | |
| How much do I need to spend to get a preamp that sounds better than no preamp? Although it is very good it lacks in bass and warmth for me. I’m using the audible Illusions again.That is the most common experience we hear about passives. | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? That pesky liability! Say'n! | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? Ralph, very few real audiophiles want an industrial, discontinued power regenerator, especially one that would or might need service from a company that really doesn’t care about the consumer market way too impractical.The Elgars I mentioned are n... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Electronics bandwidth is an issue too- your amps are full power to 1Hz. Most tube amps can't go anywhere near that low.But I have similar bandwidth with both the amps and speakers at home, yet don't experience this issue. I am using a Triplanar, w... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Yes, maybe I can be more mind-calm with out removable headshell additional connection joints but this is not the whole history as it’s not what the you say about the bearing plane where it’s extremely important for unipivots but with the solid ... | |
| Current, Amperage Julian Hirsh also said that all well designed amplifiers sound the same. He was certainly wrong about that, but it depends on what is considered 'well designed'. If the amp is designed to have good specs and that's considered good, that's one thi... | |
| Solid core power cords under 300$ - List of manufacturers ? The reason there is an aftermarket of power cords is precisely because solid core wire is illegal for use in a power cord. Romex is extremely high performance, which is why you really don't have to worry about what's in the walls (if that is what ... | |
| Am i missing something without a power conditioner? My question is with these high quality power cords do i still need a power conditioner? Power cords do not do any power conditioning.The best power conditioners were made by a company called Elgar. You can find them on ebay; the 3000 and 6000 seri... | |
| Buzzing/Loud overtones on Sansui 2000A receiver? @marksatin9000Its likely that the ground wire (which is what you found) was cut or damaged in the past. It just needs to be lengthened and tied to the chassis or ground post of the Sansui.BTW, that receiver is plenty old enough that the filter cap... | |
| SL1200GAE New Tonearm Ralph, So sorry that I volunteered you for TP questions. That was unfair of me. (I think maybe that was why you wrote, "sheesh".)No, it wasn't, and no worries.would like not to drill into the plinth though. The arm I got is from John I think yo... |
