| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! REL hookup to a balanced differential amp use the yellow and red together only, the black is unused. That's how they are attached to my differential monoblocks. | |
| "Best" 80's HiFi System Nothing says the eighties like a full complement of ReVox gear. This is a stack that I restored and put together for fun a few years back. Sold all of it off except the B77 reel machine. Also built a full Pioneer Spec stack, but that’s seventies. ... | |
| Phono Cartridge Purchase from Asia? I've used Kron when replacing Rega Aphelion cartridges, no problems with the products whatsoever and very fast shipping. I'll continue to shop his offerings in the future. | |
| Balance control? https://imgur.com/gallery/SOuJ60E Not sure how it operates electrically, but the manual says they can be used for channel to channel gain matching when replacing tubes | |
| Balance control? It’s pretty slick he has that inside there, the range of adjustment isn’t huge by any means, but it was enough to balance out the very slight imbalance I was getting. Took forever to track down what it was, did all the steps above, cart good, cabl... | |
| Balance control? They are different from the loading plugs, which I don’t use with my Aphelion cartridge as per Keith’s suggestion. The pots are inside next to the tubes and are labeled, you just have to remove the top cover. You can turn them with a small screwdr... | |
| Balance control? Resurrection of an old thread, but I also run a Herron VTPH-2A phono stage. Keith was kind enough to include gain and trim pots for each channel to help with tube imbalance if this is indeed the case. There can be many causes, as per the posts abo... | |
| Try This With Your SS Amp Why not both? | |
| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each The gear upgrades look pretty nice, you seem to be set there. You should put a budget towards room treatments, which IMHO make more of a difference than cables, which would be the last on the list for me. | |
| Setup Speakers Along Long Wall? If it were me in that space, I'd still try and utilize a short wall setup. It's a nice looking room with nice gear. I would first try a wall shelf to the side of the window for the TT, as it would be behind the speakers and possibly help with isol... | |
| You're overbudget on gear, one more thing... I wasn't saying it was an easy endeavor, just that I believe in the reality of phenomenal presses compared to others of the same runout numbers, lots of people downplay that it isn't real, or it's foolish to spend that kind of money on an album. Y... | |
| You're overbudget on gear, one more thing... Though I will probably never purchase a "hot stamper", I do believe in the theory somewhat. We are talking about physical action that manually presses a vinyl puck into a record with a metal plate that is eventually changed out during a pressing r... | |
| Interesting Video from Upscale Audio Interesting video for sure.I've picked up a few from Art's collection being sold on the open market from the big auction site, my fave being JD Crowe & TNS "My Home Ain't In The Hall Of Fame" | |
| Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!) No room treatment? May as well save your $ and get a set of headphones. | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation Beyonce', really??? Compressed loudness war garbage. And racist too. Screw her. |
