| Phono stage hum at midpoint on volume control. @nonoise my bad hahahaha…it was @noromance who commented and you became a victim of auto-fill when I was trying to tag him. | |
| Phono stage hum at midpoint on volume control. Have you checked and confirmed that the tonearm ground cable is connected to the phono stage ground screw/terminal? @nonoise asked a good question as well. | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System I like the passive nature of the Eno which also equates to less cables - I would imagine the passive nature bypasses any noise that it may otherwise induce if it were being powered, which is what we’re trying to reduce with an LPS for the last FM... | |
| Bi-Wire Cables under $350 (Used or New) Gill…if you’re handy, build your own using Canare 4S11 with the best possible connectors you can get within your budget (i.e Furutech 201G or 201R). Very easy to do. Check out VH Audio for the Furutech connectors (add to cart to see your price). ... | |
| Where to put your best power cable? Trying it is the only way to know. | |
| Cables When I had my N803s the cables I liked were Acoustic Zen Hologram and Satori, Audience AU24, Purist Aqueous 20th Anniversary. The Acoustic Zen cables are very good though and can be had used way under your $2000 budget and highly recommended with ... | |

| Ditching Class A Amps due to Heat - Sort of a Poll @jwei +1 that’s pretty much the routine. I also keep my basement at 63 degrees so I don’t heat it in the winter unnecessarily and whatever the heat generated by the Pass XA30.8 amp doesn’t bring the temperature up that much. In the summer the bas... | |
| Im looking for the next upgrade. I'm not real sure which way I want to go Help! fisher_400 71 posts 11-27-2022 at 03:51pm Although I am a 100% tube amp person, a tube preamp and especially so with tone controls into a SS power amp will sound great. A tip: use new JJ E83cc for 12AX7s available at Amazon. 12AU7 use Bri... | |

| Hesitant to upgrade my phono cartridge @paulgardner The SL calls for >400ohm, the ML calls for >100ohm. Based on that phono stage design and how you run it, there’s no way to predict how it would work with a particular cartridge unless you reach out to Herron with specs to get hi... | |
| Banana plug recommendations Are these cables directional? If not and your speakers accept banana plugs just reverse the cables and use bananas on the speaker ends. Connectors play a big role. Don’t get crap connectors. If you like the cables, see if the Furutech will work. ... | |
| Snap Crackle Pop Streaming Unlikely you get 1 gigabit from the wireless access point. If that access point has ethernet out connection try to wire your laptop to it and do a speed test. I kind of doubt it is the bandwidth/speed issue though but I could be wrong so let’s eli... | |
| Where to place your best switch? @fthompson251 sounds good. And I’m glad you found my post helpful! Please follow up with your updates when you get around to it. |
