| KT120 transformer failures I have not heard of KT120 filament failures as you describe them nor any of the warnings you mentioned. I believe an autobias amplifier that does not have adequate plate voltage or current may experience this issue if it cannot supply adequate vol... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Vhiner, Thank you for the update. After reading some preliminary reports out in the "field" from a few other forums and your update, I am led to believe that the new Zitron Cobra is a much better performing cable than the previous Python cables. N... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... How does the new Ztron Cobra AC power cable compare to the older CX series, especially the Python CX? I have the Python CX right now and it sounds pretty darn good as the main power cable for an Aesthetix IO. I need a good cable to power an Isotek... | |

| Benz Micro Ruby Z I acquired the Ruby Z a few months ago and absolutely love it. I experienced a similar issue about amonth ago. I found that in my particular instance it was due to the routing of the cables and shielding. I moved to a new house and during the setu... | |
| No sound coming from spekaers - turntable? I am not familiar with the Denon turntable you are using, however, if it does have a built in phono stage, check to see if there is a gain setting, low/high or a DB setting for the gain, in which case you may want to set higher, or, even a boost s... | |
| Granite stands for speakers experiment I use granite pillars for our small surround speakers, wife would not have anything else in the living room; to modernistic, too techy,doesn't blend well with the decor. I have to admit, the granite pillars with small bookshelf speakers looks grea... | |
| Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent Are the phono cables from the turntable plugged into the PHONO input on the NAD and is PHONO selected as the source on the NAD? Also, were the cartridge wires in the headshell connected? Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Aesthetix Rhea? Not a Rhea, but an IO, no noises, no issues. Great sounding phono amp. | |
| Help with my analog rig. Are your IC's close to any power cables, especially the phono amps power supply? I had a similar issue a few weeks ago. I used grey pipe insulation that you can find at any hardware store as an experiment, and wrapped the phono IC's, and it worked... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hey Melbguy1, What happened? Sorry you are leaving. I know this site has many "hardhats" and the site itself is evolving into something many may not like anymore. I have learned to get out of posts when they take a dive for the worst and get off t... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference I found some further information of TMD. One of the technical guru's in Germany has a website dedicated to hi-fi tuning. He gives kudo's to the TMD and describes its operation pretty well, but then he advocates modding the motors with his Dr. Fuss... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Hiho, For some of the reasons you listed above, and in some other threads, I chose not to max out my Transrotor Apollon to the FMD. I feel I get more than I need for superior musical performance with all of the "mods" I have chosen.In regards t... | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Hi Lewm, "Maybe I can get to hear Audioquest's TMD some day." You have an open invitation. I am still settling in and optimizing my system for the much smaller room I am in compared to the expansive room I had in my house in Germany. I think I wil... | |
