| Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier? I listen with Audire equipment. A power supply capacitor failed in the Diffet preamp and was replaced. But the almost 50 year old Model 2 amplifier soldiers on without fail and sounds amazing. | |
| The secret to a great amplifier... Is fuse rolling a thing now? | |
| Looking for phono preamp suggestions I just received a PJL hybrid phono preamplifier. Under 300.00, I'm really amazed at the performance of this New Jersey made phono preamplifier. Check them out | |
| First Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge Acquisition I'm using and recommend a Denon DL110 MC cartridge. Well under 1000.00; I like that it has a high voltage output not requiring a step up amplifier. My previous cartridge was a Dynavector Ruby. | |
| Carver ZR-1600 amplifier Its a pro-sound amp and has only XLR inputs. | |
| PS Audio Delta 100 vactubesjm1 My experience is the Delta 100 is not the best for detail and imaging. But it will really drive the Maggies to higher volumes, and thats a good . Of the amps I have and used to have:Audire Model 2 sounds best. I love the Audire ... | |

| Audire Diffet 1 hum It sounds like a 60Hz hum and its constant, does not vary with volume. The Audire amplifier and preamplifier are both old enough to have just a two prong electrical plug. | |
| Audire Diffet 1 hum https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iabF03nHOOo5c5FKi6I9WhmZ-3XMlsrl See if you can open this. There is a little button cap right across the wall power in the preamplifier. If it is a capacitor, I'm hoping this is the issue. What do you think? | |
| Audire Diffet 1 hum Audire is long gone, unfortunately. | |
| Audire Diffet 1 hum Plugged into the same outlet:I disconnected the only input, a CD player, and the hum is present, at the same level.. I also tried disconnecting the preamplifier to check the amplifier. The Audire Model 2 is quiet, no hum. | |
| Audire Diffet 1 hum Great information Elizabeth. Thank you and I'll give your recommendations a try. Even with the hum, it is a sweet sounding preamplifier, so I wan't to keep it in use. |
