| Hum problem - help Also, try the following:1] Grounding just your preamp and using cheater plugs for everything else.2] Reversing the AC prongs on ONE amp only. If not better, then the other.3] Try unplugging all source RCAs from your preamp. If hum gone, add back i... | |
| audiphile power cords No, they do not make a difference, and McIntosh proved it back in the 60s with a detailed and correctly carried out series of blind listening tests. Ever seen vintage Mac power cords? There's your answer. | |
| Just Pulled The Trigger Rlb61,It will sound better because your mind will tell your ears that it should sound better. So, yes, it will sound better. | |
| Does anyone love the First Watt SIT2 Have not heard the SIT, but I have his M2, a zero-feedback, Class A 25 watt beauty. It is the smoothest and least fatiguing amp I have ever had (tube or SS), and needless to say, I am Nelson Pass's newest devotee. The man knows good sound. | |
| Heads-Up: ARC introducing new G Series Good for them. It's too bad that the prices are a joke. | |
| John Mayer - Opened My Ears Yep, highly underrated in every meaningful category. I also happen to feel he is a superb songwriter. I have nearly all of his albums, and IMO they are all good in their own way. | |
| Speaker balance control Broadstone,It's not necessarily the quality of the in-line attenuator, it's the fact that it is a set db level w/no control. The chance that your hearing loss matches precisely with the standard db levels (1, 2, 3, 6, etc.) would be a near miracle... | |
| Speaker balance control Take it from someone who has lived with your exact problem for 10 years and who has tried EVERYTHING and nearly driven myself mad in the process. There is no better solution than a variable balance control or a preamp with independent variable (no... | |
| Speakers with good timing Lohanimal,A well-designed ported speaker can have awesome PRAT. In fact, I have found that well-set up ported speakers "breathe" better, a quality that IMO improves PRAT rather than hampers it. Speakers that combine technologies (i.e. stats on top... | |
| Thiel CS3.6 with issues: take the chance? If you really want to get to the bottom of it, swap all the drive units first. If problem follows, you can eliminate the crossovers. If it's the drivers, you'll have to then compare each one with its counterpart using an SPL meter and a test signa... | |
| most clear, crisp sound power amps, monoblocks ? Hey, can we be a little nicer, AG members? Everyone doesn't necessarily have the same background or speak in the same lingo, but that's not a reason to be snarky.Narcisco, To answer your question politely, everyone will have a different idea of wh... | |
| Apartment Drama Elizabeth, I gotta hand it to ya' You are one badass audiophile! | |
| Wu-tang clan new cd How sad. | |
| Audiophile newbie Welcome to what can be an insane hobby. To get an idea of what brands, prices, and components do, get your hands of a "recommended Components" issue of Stereophile, jump on a few sites, and read a lot: AGon, Absolute Sound, Enjoythemusic, etc. Mos... | |
| 6922 Issues / Recommendations Nicksr,It's funny that you ask because I just ordered a pair of RCA 12AX7As for my Mid-Monos. Mike at QS says that the input tube affects the sound more than the driver, so we will see when the RCAs arrive later this week. I have the very newest v... |
