| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. I see the arm as a weak spot too. All my comments on the SL1200G are based on a Triplanar being installed, IOW they are about the platter and drive only. | |
| Balanced cables Warren Gehl to my knowledge does some very limited design work for ARC and is key in QC by reportedly listening to every piece of gear hooked up to his reference system of a Ref 6 and Ref 150se and some old, large Magnepans before the piece lea... | |
| Puzzling preamp problem Channel gain is not affected by break-in. It can be affected by being broken though :) | |
| Balanced cables but I’ve had the suspicion that instead of using differential stages they basically have a separate signal path through the amp (up to the output transformer primary) for each of the two signals in the balanced signal pair they receive for each... | |
| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. I have not tried the 1200G with a modern SME tonearm, so who knows what that could bring...I've set the 1200G up with a Triplanar, and the results were spectacular. | |
| Philips 212 Tone Arm issue Checking the arm wiring is a good suggestion. If its binding from the 'table being flipped over that could easily do it. | |
| Need passive aggressive advice Having owned a Placette, we know there's no going back. It wasn't until I heard the Atma-Sphere MP-1 preamp that I made a switch. In hindsight, it's the phono preamp in the MP-1 that's the king. If Atma-Sphere built a stand alone phono preamp, ... | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. FWIW, you are far better off if the ground is tied to the water mains as is traditional. Stakes in the ground tend to be variable, and if the ground connection is indeed on the water mains, the stake in the ground should not be used at all unless ... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers @willemj , I think you might be confusing sensitivity with efficiency. They are not the same; the latter is based on power and ignores impedance, the former is based on voltage and impedance thus matters quite a lot!Now if you are driving a larger... | |
| Balanced cables Its probably not the amp that is causing you to hear the cables so much as the preamp. But there is a recent period of ARC amps that had me scratching my head. I'm not sure which models they are. They were out when Kalvin Dahl (with whom I went to... | |
| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. We've been using the Oracle mat but it is a bit thick if you want to also use a clamp. | |
| Low level buzzing coming from tweeters. The amps are on a dedicated 30 amp breaker, the rest of the system on a dedicated 20 amp. There is an outdoor imbedded ground for, I believe, the entire system.Is this a stake that someone put outside somewhere to make a ground? | |
| Balanced cables Just wanted to reiterate that if designer lays out his signal path to be more direct to the XLR and the gain is set higher to that output it will always sound better which is the intention, if the opposite is done to the RCA out, it will always... | |
| Balanced cables So if a balanced dual mono/stereo preamplifier has both XLR and RCA outputs, and both outputs from XLR or RCA or moving signal from a separate mono channel for left and right, then in essence their both balanced cables doing the same thing. Int... | |
| Need some Amp help - a little new to properly powering speakers You do not need more efficient speakers for more detail. The most detailed speakers may well be Quad electrostats, and they are horribly ineffcient.The first statement is true, the second is partially false. Quads are planar loudspeakers, and so... |
