Do allow significant time for break in (30 days passing signal) before you decide if it's the right move.For probably the very first time in 10 years I have to agree with Liz on somethi... | |
| Do I have a balanced system? if resolution, dynamics, freq response etc. are within balance, then the net result is MUSICALITY.If the sound satisfies your expectations then you've arrived; if not, then you're not there yet. Simple. | |

| The Hub: History of Dynaco part 2 Dyna's were always fun to tweak. I reworked a PAT-4, a ST-400 and an FM-5 in the early days. There were always improvements that could be made, and the fact that you built them yourself you really understood the circuitry, which of course facilita... | |
| Klipschorn Imaging You don't mention any experimentation with tweaks and cabling, which might well be the solution you're seeking. I've had vintage 1978 Belles (KHorns without the corners) for over 25 years, and have tried a large variety of equipment and cables ove... | |
| Power Cord: Need to choose from these, please help Synergistic Research cords are known for neutrality,so just pick some within your budget and try them.

| High Quality Fuses: Real Gains? I changed from glass body to ceramic power fuse by default because I only had the correct value on hand in ceramic. I forgot all about it and didn't even run the rig until several days later. Initially I could tell the rig sounded different even w... | |
| Hardwire your amps to the panel. yes in addition to the caveats Vegas mentions, you would not realize any of the sonic enhancements that aftermarket cables achieve. Basically you are missing the whole point. | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? a phono step up transformer is another option if you chose a low output design. | |
