| Your Second System I have 2 primary systems and multiple "other systems". I've posted 3 of them here (although they're a little out of date at present). My 2 primary systems are somewhat different in character, and one of them is a dual purpose (home theater and 2 c... | |
| dead quiet Atmasphere and Eldartford, great posts. When I first started dealing with noise issues in a new table rig a few years ago it would have helped me if I could have found these comments. Instead, I had to weed through the archives. The operative comm... | |
| dead quiet to answer some of the questions about my last post . . .Here's what I've learned, and implemented over the past 2 years in my effort to address hum in my analog stage: - address ground loops, one ground for the system, one wall socket, ground loop... | |
| Members with No Feedback I know Canadian postal money orders can be cashed at US post offices. You just walk into the post office and they will hand over the cash just like it's a USPS money order (provided they have enough cash on hand) Does anyone know if this is the ca... | |
| dead quiet is the solution to noise in the analog system only new/different equipment? The noise I'm referring to isn't pops and ticks, it's hum, and it's noticeable when standing near the speaker. With the right cartridge/arm and doing my "work" to iron out... | |
| dead quiet not in my experience. Often I'm satisfied if I can't hear any hum from my listening position (ie when there's no music playing). Some cartridge/arm/pre configs seem to be noisier than others. None are dead quiet. | |
| Add a subwoofer to Von Schweikert 4Srs? I'll offer another comment reinforcing the room/placement influence. I have a pair of VR4 GenIII's (I bought them from Driver) in a dedicated multi-media room. Before I bought them I was doing research, and spoke on the phone with Albert Von Schwe... | |
| Using two channel amps as monos? another option is to run them in a vertical biamp arangement, if your speakers accommodate it. This would give you all of the benefits you're after - separation, and power. | |
| Rock Siblings..... Um . . . are we talking "siblings?"it would seem we're actually talking "progeny" in this thread. | |
| Using two channel amps as monos? I'm not familiar with your amps, but are you bridging them to Mono, or using one channel of each in a "stereo-mono" operating mode?I'm far from an authority on this topic, but I think it depends on the amp. Except for raw power output, many amps d... | |
| Rock Siblings..... I like Teddy Thompson better than Richard and/or Linda. He also got his mom to come out of retirement with a very good album. | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Boating, water skiing, snow skiing, and guitar playing (which is as much about sound quality of the gear as it is about playing ability . . . for me at least) | |
| Manu Katche I (very) recently picked up "Playground" and really like it. I'll have to spin it a few more times before I put it in the "incredible" range though. It's definitely worth having in the collection though if you like mellow jazz especially. | |
| Tube phono preamp help please. I agree with the Jolida JD9a. I bought mine from the ebay seller below - it was shipped to me directly from Jolida. I haven't tried the Pro-ject, but did have the Bellari (don't recommend it), and other phono stages. I'm very happy with my Jolida.... | |
