| Help with hiss What power issue would cause an audio component to hiss? We are still talking about hiss are we? Hiss as in ssssssss type sound. Not the hmmmmmmm sound. Correct? Amplifier or preamplifier hiss can go unnoticed or may not be as noticeable if you ... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) @sunnyjim cut it out with your politics. Make Audiogon Great Again!!! | |
| EBAY MONEY BACK.......WHAT A JOKE ??? Use ebay help thru app or website and initiate a case. Talking to customer support is a waste of time. | |
| Help with hiss @forestg good luck cause this sucks! | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) $100 budget limit on power cable wouldn’t get you much. Wait until you are in a $400-$500 range. Making baby steps in this hobby is usually a waste of time and money. But…if you want to spend $100 now to upgrade the power cable just get the best p... | |
| Help with hiss Also, you stated the hiss is constant no change in hiss loudness with volume variations, that says it’s the amp. If the source for the hiss was upstream, the amplifier would amplify it, as it does with any incoming signal. So your amplifier is mos... | |
| Help with hiss Speakers do not hiss. Amps, preamps and source components do. Especially tubed ones. Disconnect your preamp from your amp and turn the amp on. If you still hear hiss thru your speakers. your amp is the culprit. If the hiss stops, power it all dow... | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? Going back to the original discussion…a follow up… Got the first pair of Range Limiter TriTraps. Replaced a pair of 244s that were used as bass traps with Tri Traps. Moved the 244s to the first reflection points on side walls. There’s a very nice... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @hilde45 thanks for sharing your thoughts! Interesting observation. It sounds like the systems you’ve auditioned were perhaps set up / geared more towards resolution and precision. I believe that can be changed by pairing these speakers with diffe... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note @hilde45 audition some of these and let us know what you think as well. | |
| Prioritizing Power Cable Upgrades by System Component. If you are starting with just one upgraded power cord.. amplifier first if amp is plugged into wall. Then power conditioner for source components with the second power cord upgrade. If you have everything plugged into power conditioner then power... | |
| Care to offer comparisons? Wilson, YG, Magico, Stenheim, Rockport, Audio Note I’ve heard Magico A3 and didn’t care for them. To me they sounded dark, veiled, boomy and the overall presentation wasn’t engaging. I couldn’t get into it. I could also hear cabinet artifacts when they were pushed hard. The sound reminded me of th... | |
| AudioQuest Pegasus "fever" RCA cables @sparkymaui Lots of AQ fakes out there on a used market. My Google search turner up nothing for the “fever” version. Try the Pegasus from The Cable Company and see how they sound. | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? @ozzy makes sense I think. You have a decent size room so they’re recommending abfusors. FWIW, for my room, which is smaller, Mike recommended absorbers on the sides for early reflections and tri traps with range limiter in corners behind speaker... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? @ozzy Give GIK a few days. Their recommendation for my room was pretty accurate. |
