| Hum/Buz fro JC1 is your cable tv near the system? if yes, it may be that you have a ground loop. try disconnecting the coax cable from the cable box and then turn on your system to see if the hum is gone. | |
| Small monitors good at low listening levels? Totem Mani-2 Signature is one of the best monitor speakers I ever heard. But they require an amplifier with some guts. | |
| 'nother Nano question iTunes software sucks. It is one of the most user unfriendly POS programs out there. I think I mastered Adobe Photoshop quicker than the iTunes.In any case, I set the iTunes preference to Manual updates. This way I don't keep all the junk on my PC... | |
| CD player upgrade/ Arcam vs. Ayre Eee3, with you ARC gear, why nor go for ARC CD3 MkII? You can then run your entire system fully balanced, which makes a nice difference with ARC gear. Really good player, the CD3 MkII. I don't know about FMJ23, but CD3 MkII is easily better than F... | |
| Louder Hum from amp and Thump, thump sound spkrs Joefama, wow....that's a discovery. Glad you found the cause. Hope everything is fine and no further damage was done. | |
| Transport fails to proceed Carry told you to jiggle wires? To me this sounds like a laser module or something else is wrong in the transport itself.You will most likely need to send it in for repair | |
| DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ? I had the "Source" for about 3 weeks now. I prefer this cord on my cdp over Audience and Shunyata Taipan Helix Alpha. It basically has all the quailities I was looking for, but where it exceeded my expectations was in soundstaging. The size of the... | |
| VTI Racks Any good? 4yanx, I bought the BL404, used it for a week and returned it. It's a POS. Not good at all. First time I experienced the rack screwing up the sound. It looks nice, but is cheaply made, very lightweight and you will need to spend more money on isol... | |
| Second round of auditions under my belt If you can, audition these: Focus Audio FS888 B&W 803DTotem Mani-2 Signature(cheapest of the bunch but amazing) Dynaudio S5.4 | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary Jwin, that's my next preamp, the Ref2!!!!I love the way ARC pairs with Pass. I've had ARC preamps with different amps over time, but the combo of ARC and Pass running fully balanced is superior to anything I ever had in my system. | |
| Pass Labs vs. Cary Jtwrace , are you running the Pass combo in balanced or single ended config? I don't know about your X250, but my X250.5 sounds noticibly better when run in balanced mode. So if you running it single-ended, there is something to cinsider before yo... | |
| Pass Labs X250 vs. X350 I think when people say X250.5 sounds better than X350 they are only talking about timbral qualities. I am pretty sure that the X350 would still drive the more difficult speakers better than the X250.5.I do agree though that a more proper comparis... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? have you tried what I suggested earlier? about the cable tv.... | |
| tubed preamp off and ss amp left on? Twc, if your cable tv is nearby, you should also try disconnecting the coax cable tv wire at its first point of entry and then turn your rig on and see if the hum is gone. If there's no more hum, you need a ground loop isolator which will take car... | |
