| Has anyone tried Full Music 12ax7's? well - low noise floor, tight, clean bass (don't go for these id you like heavy metal or dance music) and good mids. I don't think the treble is "sweet" as ppl would normally say of tubes - it's a bit more akin to SS. But what I like about them is... | |
| Has anyone tried Full Music 12ax7's? Just did exactly the same thing! | |
| cd player + preamp = too much gain Just found these which could do the trick - any ideas as to the quality of parts;http://www.frontendaudio.com/ALVA-Suzy-Passive-Line-Attenuator-p/9999-01459.htmhttp://www.hifisoundconnection.com/Shop/Control/Product/fp/vpid/2680892/vpcsid/0/SFV/30046 | |
| cd player + preamp = too much gain hi Bob - yeah I really didn't like them. Still searching for another way...might just ditch the preamp and get the Lightspeed Passive ... seems a good option.... | |
| cd player + preamp = too much gain nifty machine, functions as a switch box too - have configured yours for non-variable outpout? | |
| cd player + preamp = too much gain Thanks Al - not sure if I'll fork out more $$ to do that test! Might just get a passive volume control and leave it set at a certain level, at least this may save the experimentation with different in-line attenuators.Any idea as to what manufactu... | |

| Loudness War OK well it seems this thread has ended up more an argument of aesthetics than anything else. We'll see whether The Beatles or MJ are played in 200 years like Beethoven and Mozart. My pick would be The Beatles, heads and shoulders above MJ.Anyway, ... | |
| Loudness War Sorry was away for a few days and did not imagine this thread would have produced such a large response.Firstly - Elizabeth - "I assume you are complaining about the CD remastering and just new mastering of ROCK music."??Don't think so - Naxos are... | |
| Gauge + Length +Material = Sound hahah lol - good point! | |
| cd player - xlr output buzzing UPDATEAfter all the discussion, had a custom cable made with pin 3 unconnected.Works like magic.Thanks for all the help ppls. | |
| unused inputs/outputs - safe to short? Is crosstalk inherently "bad" in a system, or simply inevitable? | |
| unused inputs/outputs - safe to short? Update on this;Actually, tonight I tested if my inputs 2, 3 & 4 are active when I use input 1 on the preamp. Put a cd on (input 1), turned the volume right down, switched from input 1 to input 2 and got the shock of my life! With the volume ab... | |
| cd player - xlr output buzzing nifty device!!hmm good question -- how can one test for noise floor interference? |
