| "Audio Gone" question for Audiogon experts Does this occur on all functions? | |
| Phono cartridge for classic rock There is no such thing as a cartridge or arm that is better at rock than anything else. That is a myth plain and simple. Electronics (including speakers) don't have taste and can't tell what music you are playing through it.In short if its really ... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music Really sorry to hear this! Bobby has always treated me and our customers with 110%. Its hard to imagine he's gone... | |
| Passive & Tubed pre-amps to power amp at same time? More so on the output side than the input, but they are sensitive to the input side as well. As a general rule of thumb keep the cables short! | |
| Primaluna & Klipsch Cornwall frustration HELP If the amp has not been played much, it may also need some break-in time. Filter capacitors don't like to sit around discharged; its best for them to be played and as they are played they get more efficient. As this happens, they become more effec... | |
| Primaluna & Klipsch Cornwall frustration HELP OK- in review, here are the things you need to try:1) try a different tap (4 ohm)Notes: the speaker is nominally 8 ohms and likely has a nice impedance bump in the low end that might help your amp out. Any notion that this amp cannot control the w... | |
| amplification for devore fidelity nines ? The Devores have been always been quite tube-friendly, but despite their efficiency, it does seem as if they benefit from having some power- but it had better be some power with finesse. Our customers have been using our M-60 with that speaker and... | |
| Would adding a pre back into the system eliminate I've seen passives exhibit glare in the past- usually some sort of interaction with something else in the system. Passives are very sensitive to cables- much more so than preamps; as others have suggested it appears that you answered your own ques... | |
| Passive & Tubed pre-amps to power amp at same time? PlanB: place the passive between the CDP and the preamp input.Adjust to suit, but keep your cables short as passives have been shown to be quite sensitive to cables! | |
| Output level inexplicably reduced- help Does this problem show up on all functions or only phono? | |
| Soundlab speakers...how reliable? If you picked up some used Sound Labs, check with Sound Lab about the new backpanels. They make the speaker a lot easier to drive and also sound better too! | |
| Need Advice on a Low End CD Player Giant Killer Oppo is a good recommendation. | |
| martin logan prodigy vs sound lab m-2 If you get used Sound Labs, make sure they have the new backpanel- they will sound better and are easier to drive. | |
| 6SN7 tube question FWIW we find the Tung-Sol tube to be just as unreliable as the EH tube. Both are made in the same plant and the big difference is the color of the base. | |
| RIAA vs Columbia vs Decca We have had a polarity reverse switch on our preamps going back to 1989. I find that it has no effect at all unless the recording is minimally miked. Then it becomes helpful- a lot easier than reversing the speaker cables on both amps! |
