| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT generally a wall mounted TT shelf is prone to wall-induced vibrations because the entire wall acts as a sounding board & flexes right along with the music. This can become a serious enough degradation so as to even cause a vibrato / speed puls... | |
| Ferrite beads/clamps as a tweak? on AC cords no perceived problems here...on unbalanced interconnects; HF attenuation was an issue using Audioquest RF Stoppers | |
| Poor man's IC cooker? Not risky at all; I wouldn't have recommended that load if there were any issues in that regard. Even if you are driving at a full 1 volt line output level you are only running 1.6 milliwatts of power at 600 ohms. Even at 10 ohms load you are oper... | |
| Wadia direct into amp, Sound a bit too lean?? in trying to tweak your sonic signature you don't mention doing any experimentation with AC cords. Changing cords on the CDP & the amp (not necessarily / probably not using identical AC cords on each unit) you can accomplish a lot more change ... | |
| Poor man's IC cooker? use a 600 ohm load for increased signal current = faster breakin time | |
| Impotence Question marco nothing significant to be concerned about so don't worry about it. You are loading to 4 ohms (or possibly slightly less at some freq's) as long as you aren't cranking out high power it's not a concern. When you ARE blasting then only drive a... | |
| Transparent vs Synergistic Research? Synergistic works well with my V3, driven with a passive pre (quite a demanding cable application). I had the Resolution Reference with active shielding & liked it; later upgraded to Designers Reference X-series-active using the Master Control... | |
| TV hard wired power cable easy way to experiment: cut off the existing cord within 6" of the chassis. Solder on an IEC male at that point so you can experiment with upgrade cords. If it works out, you can then make the installation more premanent if desired. Otherwise you ... | |
| grado reference statement hum try the mu metal shielding material | |
| Can IC's and Speaker Wire drastically affect bass? interconnects, speaker cables, & AC cords are all variables worth tweaking: certainly your cabling can significantly affect your response. However so can your rack, shelving, cones/footers, room placement & tuning. Then there's your AC lin... | |
| Cary Preamps had an SLP98 - for about 3 days. worst microphonic ringing piece of junk i've ever had in house | |
| My new Accuphase 408 is lacking ...... what AC cable are you using? I was somewhat disappointed with my $10K Accuphase C275 pre until I began experimenting with upgrade cords. Settled on the Synergistic Research Designer Reference Squared AC X-series with active shielding (I think they... | |
| What happened to the loudness control? tone. filters. loudness. still available on Accuphase & Luxman products: somewhat pricey equipment but certainly worth the price | |
| Accuphase, Balanced or Single End? Hi Brian - My C275 / P450 combo is also presently connected unbalanced, as is the cdp input. I looked into using balanced connections, but I decided against trying it because that actually lengthens the circuit path by adding additional stages. Th... | |
| That dreaded hum Another approach I've used successfully: attach a ground lead to the coaxial shield at the point where it connects to your equipment. Wrap the bared end of wire around the coax a few times & cable-tie it securely, or use a small hose clamp. Th... |
