| Help with hiss @forestg OK so it sure sounds like its a power problem coming into your house. Your last post about plugging/unplugging each amp amp in turn and they exhibit the same symptom individually. Next step for me would be to purchase an isolation trans... | |
| Help with hiss +1 @audphile1 Also, with the amp off and interconnects unplugged, insert RCA shorting plugs so that no signal is possible as an input. Turn amps on. Hiss OR no hiss its the amps. Regards, barts | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? I have listened at very high levels. Hovering ~100db. That is as loud as I care to listen, my system will do that all day,,,,I like overkill. But, as I age I prefer music that has a large dynamic range, so it peaks at ~100db. There is no set r... | |
| Forced to DIY My dad always enlisted me as his helper in all of his DIY projects. WWII vets didn't want or need to have people do things for them. Of course, this was a PITA for me as a kid. It was only after he was gone did I realize how valuable an exercis... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? To each his own...enjoy the music, don't buy "trinkets" that you cannot afford. And yes, there is a point of diminishing returns, although it happens on a personal level! Regards, barts | |
| Should I As many have said get it checked out. I would add that it would be best to send to Rowland for the check and possible replacements. I have an ARC D-111 from 1981 purchased from an ARC engineer who was the original. owner. There were only twenty... | |
| What should my heirs do to dispose of my vinyl and CDs? @hifiman5 I like several others here have a family that have zero interest in my audio and to go a step further neither of my kids want basically anything in the house. Hard to believe my son who is a car guy doesn't even want his choice of sev... | |
| Women Who Rock This is Grace Slick singing White Rabbit (isolated to just her voice track). Prior to Pro-tools! Your welcome. Regards, barts | |

| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! This seems to me like weighing yourself every morning on a scale that is off by 10 pounds. So what, as long as it's consistent you will see if you are losing or gaining. So (hopefully) they know how their room sounds and by extension they know w... | |
| Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align Hey @hilde45 Rather surprised that you don't think that SD albums don't have top shelve recording, mixing and mastering. They certainly don't sound forward or harsh on my system, rather pin-point accurate. I say this partially due to the fact ... | |
| Unscrupulous ebay buyers @audioguy85 Sorry for the sitch you find yourself in. You earlier stated that the buyer thought the cartridge "too warm". My bet is on the SO who "How much did that f'ing cost! @#(*$##@$(@!. And then too warm turned into too HOT. I know this ... | |
| Biamping vs only inserting an Active crossover @jumia I’ve been tri-amping for years and I’ll probably never go back to a single amp again. the biggest benefit (to me) is that none of the amps knows what the other amps are doing. So, you can be playing along nice and loud and there is major... | |
| Parasound Grabs a good Pair!!! I have always enjoyed grabbing a good pair...nicely! But not the pair you guys are talkin' about. Regards, barts | |
| Psychologist dissects Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon' @clearthinker OK you may be correct that they are "the most over-rated". Let me ask two things: Have you ever enjoyed listening to it? And how do you suppose DSOTM spent over 1000 weeks on the Billboard chart top selling 100 albums? Just curi... |
