| Cart update: old TT, new electronics Sdecker, congratulations on your uprade. The conditions you describe as well as the sound definitely indicate to me that you are suffering from not enough mass with your tonearm. I tried to find a picture of your arm but was unsuccessful, but per... | |
| Humming noise in speakers I had that and it was the refrigerater. If the ground thing above doesn't work, you could try to find the guilty appliance. I got a power line conditioner, Not only did the hum go away, but I spent about 3 times as much as it would to just make th... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? At a local dealer while the 2.3 was hooked up, somebody did make a comment that it was bright and nasty. When I looked at the amp and speaker wire hooked up to it, I realized that the sound was purely the sound of the amp and wire. Big emphasis an... | |
| Pain in my butt I'm very glad to meet to have met you. I'm sorry about your condition, and I hope for the most part that it is mostly temparary. I'm kinda in a health scare at the moment also, and it's a pain in the butt, but without the pain. To say I feel your ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Interestingly enough, I did have the vta adjusted like this for the second part of my listening. Before this, I was careful to match the vta to where the vta was on the immedia, which is usually about 1 millameter higher at the beginning of the re... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I have finally recieved the HIFI mod for my rb-300, and I have to say that evan though I had ideas of how it would sound, I am stunned. First off, it is important for me to state that my system is lower in resolution than what I have been used to,... | |
| My latest upgrade Whenever I go into my local shop and they have a rega planet in, it always sounds better than with any of the others that usually end up in the demo system. I am never familiar with the system because it changes every time I go in, but it impresse... | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad If it was rocket science, I'm sure we would have the thing mounted upside down, asking if it looked right and whether we should try it, then half of us would say, "I prefer to mount it this way" and we would all be dead. | |
| Collection of buzzwords decribing sound character? At my local shop here I have some trouble cummunicating as well. I onced asked about how good a tuner was, and the reply I got was that it was so sensitive, you have to watch what you say around it. Another time I saw an old accuphase amp, with ... | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad Just from a logic standpoint, this doesn't appear to make sence to me. It sounds right off that what is being stated is that the different drivers receive signals that are not identical, because of the different laods of the drivers.Since one driv... | |
| What is the best 12ax7 NOS tube ????????? Of coarse it is a matter of taste and the circuit, but some tubes to look for would be #1, the smooth plate telefunkens. While poeple often debate on whether they are the best, or what is better, they are always very good. Everybody seems to like ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long That is an interesting point. You have strange dreams. Do you ever have dreams where you take an rb-250, cut the armtube and put the lead between the two pieces to make it longer? Actually, seriously, that is a good point. It makes me want to meas... | |
| Kimber or Cardas for Dynaudio 1.3se Marakenetz, I'm not sure I agree with you on the pro wire equalling the kimber. But it does seem appealing to me. Are you talking about speaker wire as used in pro-audio applications? Which brand, if any? What gauge? |
