| I keep being reminded of how much power cords mater @ghdprentice nice!!! @millercarbon and all…I haven’t tried swapping power cords on a turntable but please help me understand how a power delivery to the turntable motor alone can make a positive change on the sound. I know everything matters and ... | |
| Re-tubing my Audio Research Ref 110 Do the KT120 just drop in as a direct replacement for 6550c? Did you contact ARC to confirm this and to find out what the KT120 should be biased to? Other than that, @jasonbourne52 provided the steps. Just have you source(s) powered off when ... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? +1 on Furutech. But there’s a catch if you want to make/terminate these cables yourself - if for whatever reason you will want to sell these “DIY” power cords, you will take a very hefty hit and it won’t be as easy to sell as for example AQ or Shu... | |
| Bricasti M1 SE Power cycle it. If it’s not back to normal call Bricasti. Joe will help you out. | |
| Balanced vs. Single Ended Interconnects @mceljo You’ve invested in good components so wait and get good XLR interconnects. The cheap Monoprice cables are only good to keep around for when you’re upgrading and are in between cables and don’t want to be left without music. And even then,... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @nasaman Audioquest latest Storm series Tornado is excellent for an amplifier. If you can increase your budget and go up to Hurricane it’s even better. On a lower end of the price range, TWL Seven Plus has a very open sound but it won’t come close... | |
| What a difference a setting makes. Hahaha that’s right! And we both thought 58/100 was a sweet spot. Glad you played around with the loading settings and posted your results. I’m thoroughly enjoying this cartridge/phono amp combination. Good synergy. | |
| What a difference a setting makes. @rvpiano thanks for this thread! You encouraged me to revisit the 200ohm load setting. As I said earlier I didn’t like it initially when I first got the 20/20. Now with some break in time the 20/20 is a different beast. Completely different experi... | |
| DAC vs PC vs Source Not surprised. Good to know about Delta PC. It’s on my list to try on DAC. | |
| What a difference a setting makes. In my setup the Hana ML with Sutherland 20/20 MkII LPS sounds better at 58/100. Table is MoFi UltraDeck. Although I admit I have only tried and didn’t like 200ohm load setting when the 20/20 was still breaking in. It sounded too full at 200, not a... | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers Quantity is much less important than quality here when talking watts. Don’t get hung up on amplifier power. If you want to make what you have work, disassemble the SL3, check woofers, make sure all the screws are tightened, vacuum or wash the pan... | |
| The character of analog and digital @sudnh try some of the Analog Productions reissues. I’m really digging the classical and jazz these guys are putting out very good quality vinyl. | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers I looked up that Rotel amp. It’s ok. Should be fine but what I suggested about moving to a newer model MLs (if you like the sound) has several benefits- 1. Newer design Montis (I had those), Summit, etc. have powered woofer. I drove the Montis wi... | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers 👍 | |
| Bi amping my ML SL3 speakers Bi-wiring or using another amp will not solve that issue. The SL3 are old. Even new they never felt comfortable playing at concert levels. It’s possible something is wrong with woofers so you can look into it. Give ML customer service a call. Wh... |
