| Surface noise Davide256, so did I, from 1974 until now... but I was not discrediting your comments, FWIW. Simply adding to them. | |
| Oil For Nottingham Spacedeck? I should point something out here. The main deal with the oil is to prevent the bearing from failing. I have heard rumours that some manufacturers use the oil to produce drag on their drive system so that their speed controls will work properly. I... | |
| I think my speakers are killing my amps. Mcintech makes an excellent point! Check your fuses with a DVM. | |
| AUDIO RESEARCH-WHERE ARE THEY GOING I've known Kalvin Dahl for over 30 years. And Warren Gehl, Doug Wright... they are part of the core group of audiophiles that I hung with for literally decades and they are good people. I've known other people there for 20-25 years and I have a gr... | |
| Surface noise Davide256, you missed one- design of the phono section can affect ticks and pops quite a lot.Bdunn, the first thing to do is to determine the value that you need. There are several ways to do that, you could get a stereo potentiometer, wire it as ... | |
| I think my speakers are killing my amps. The VMPS is not particularly capacitive. Ribbons in general tend to have a fairly resistive quality so other than impedance they tend to be easy loads. | |
| Preamp for Atma-sphere s30 Thanks Marty. We can update those older S-30s so we can get them to sound just like the current version. If we do that the warranty reactivates. | |
| Surface noise Grados don't seem to like excessive tracking forces. I would not go above 1.7 grams.As per loading. There is a lot of discussion about loading MC cartridges (most of it bogus- loading MC cartridges is all about energy at RF frequencies rather than... | |
| Digital microscope recommendations Now if only all the cutter heads used the same cutting angle we would be all set (they don't). | |
| Wilson Sasha vs. older Watt Puppies The older Watts did indeed tend to have a brightness unless you were careful about your amplification. They worked much better with tubes in that regard than solid state, due to the way the resonance in the tweeter was controlled.The Sasha however... | |
| James Burgess Hmm. I have a pair of amplifiers that I was told were made by James Burgess. They started life as Wurlitzer organ amps, but got modified to use 45s as SETs. The mod was done a long time ago- all of the wiring inside is done with cloth covered wire... | |
| I think my speakers are killing my amps. Sounds like a protection relay. It may be that a device overheated and failed- thus the protection relay kicked in to prevent the amp from destroying the speaker.Either way it sounds like service is indicated. I would weigh the cost of repair agai... | |
| Tube Preamp Paired with Tube Phono Stage? If you can get an all-tube recording as well as playback, then its even better :) | |
| ProAc Response 2.5 transparent? The 2.5 is also very tube friendly! | |
| Surface noise Have you done anything to load the cartridge? Grados seem to like about 8000-12,000 ohms. |
