| Universal disc players @audiorusty....The LX 800 was an option for me but decided on doing the LX500 and do the modifications through Modwright. Great reviews on both but I will use solely for 2 channel music. The mods that Dan does will lower the noise floor and increa... | |
| Universal disc players Pioneer LX500. Just purchased one and sending it off to Modwright for tube modification. It has great reviews. | |
| Spatial Audio X3 Open Baffle Loudspeakers I’m about to pull the trigger on the M3 Sapphires. Haven’t seen any reviews of those yet. | |
| Audrivana So I was able to change and upsample to DSD256 but audio cuts out intermittently. Any idea why? | |
| Audrivana Interesting so up sampling does not necessarily improve sound quality? | |
| Open Baffle vs Box I can certainly appreciate the DIY open baffles. Not sure that's me. I would like to rely on the very knowledgable designers and engineers to do the integration, testing and presentation for me and that is really what you are paying for. That said... | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck Oh man, sorry I did that with my new cartridge and virgin half speed master. I have a tonearm lifter and did not cue up so the Tonearm skipped across it. Bummer I was so mad I ordered a new record. Thankfully the Hana SL survived. That’s what I wo... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box @sonicjoy Thanks for the very informative post. I really was looking for a former Vandy owner to chime in. While there have been no formal reviews of the M3 Sapphire with a 60 day in home trial I have nothing to lose. I was debating stepping up to... | |
| Open Baffle vs Box Very interesting posts from everyone. Makes me think that the people who love open baffle designs are much like the Vandys fans of which I’ve been for many years. Either lovem or not so much. Speaking with Clayton he believes that open baffle desi... | |
| Nasty Static on Vinyl Sorry for my confusing comments. I think there were a few things going on here. My fumble fingers did pull off the blue cart connector after I installed the Hana so I thought I screwed up the grounding blue being the left ground. Did not adjust th... | |
| Nasty Static on Vinyl @uberwaltz Yes that was your tip! Thanks so much!! | |
| Nasty Static on Vinyl @lewm It was that the gain of my phonostage was set to normal +67db apparently way too high. Not that anything was distorted but even in mute the pops and cracks of attenuated music came through the amp sounding like static. Very bizarre and frust... | |
| Nasty Static on Vinyl So back to report... I believe the answer is impedance and gain setting on phonostage. I have a Hana SL and thought the impedance load was 400 ohms but my SPL Phonos phonostage has a preset dial with 100, 220, 470, 2k2, 4k7 and 10k. Also has a nor... | |
| Krell Customer Service I agree Krell has awesome customer service. I had lots of questions when I purchased my Digital Vanguard and they were so quick to respond and even set up a conference call with engineers to resolve my user issues.Plus my amp sounds amazing!!! | |
| Nasty Static on Vinyl @tooblue Absolutely, Gonna take everything apart tonight and see whats what. I'm thinking that since my Tonearm is still under warranty AS-TA1000 I may send that back. Hopefully it's something like the wiring and not problems with electronics. You... |
