| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver Thanks so much Chayro, a very good point. Two way monitors or floorstander (like YG Carmel) should also be strongly considered...yes indeed! | |

| Best loudspeaker with coincident/coaxial driver Thanks for your responses Rello and Akg_ca!Any thoughts on KEF Blade 2 or TAD Evolution vs Tannoy.The Eclipse looks very interesting with some impressive single driver technology, however with expected high treble and bass limitations with the sin... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well Hi Dayglow and Jdolgin. Thanks for your responses. Clayton Audio is now dealing direct and I did indeed purchase my S2000 direct. One thing to know, however, as Mr Shen shared with me immediately, that his current pricing is very fair but non nego... | |
| Clayton Audio - Alive and very well The mechanical transformer hum issue, yo my understanding, has long been resolved. However, there are a number of older units ping ponging around generating continued remarks. My S2000 is very quiet and very musically natural. The company is indee... | |
| Speaker buzz with SS amplifier, input disconnected Thanks for your thorough inquiries, Tom32.The amps have had this problem from day one, for approx 2 months but is inaudible over the music...only between tracks etc.Actually my equipment rack is removed from the amps and loudspeakers, with a 5 met... | |
| Speaker buzz with SS amplifier, input disconnected The buzz is constant with balanced inputs connected or disconnected. I am using balanced cables between my VAC preamp and the Gamuts.Thanks!......still buzzes, both channels but more on one side. | |
| Speaker buzz with SS amplifier, input disconnected Thanks Attmasphere/RKI've tried a couple of interconnects without change. I believe you are right about an internal layout problem. Both monoblocks buzz through the loudspeakers, one louder than the other, inputs either connected or not.Would you ... | |
| Gamut M250 mkIII Speaker Connection Forgive me but how would lowering the gain assist me?The sound seems a little more transparent through the direct unfiltered binding posts but I just want to make sure benefits outweigh risks.Thanks | |
| Speaker buzz with SS amplifier, input disconnected The noise through my Blades is unchanged with inputs connected or disconnected to the Gamut monoblocks. It is more of a buzz than hum, and is audible about 3 ft from loudspeakers. Speakers are not biamped and noise persists when plugged into power... | |
| Cleaning Phono Stylus- white residue Thanks for all the helpful advice gentlemen!Need I clean the bottom of the cartridge (white buildup Kiddman states is vinyl dust from the record grooves) or just leave it be?What type of magnifier are you using....I know my eyesight isn't good but... | |

| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 I'm sorry you find yourself in the same position, Doggiehowser. I like to think of myself as a fair minded person. I remember calling EMM about 20 months ago when I was told no software upgrades are available for our units, but future upgrades wou... | |
| Update from EMM XDS1 to XDS1 V2 I meant to say the free upgrade to the new MDAT2 is not available to original owners of the XDS1. Sorry for the confusion. |
