| R CHANNEL DEAD, CLICKING SOUND INSIDE AMPLIFIER Also, check your right channel speaker cables, make sure the hot and cold leads don't touch each other either at the amp or at the speaker end. | |
| Best way to run in your Cable Elevators? When I need to run in elevator cables, I set the elevator to ascend and descend continuously, stopping at each floor along the way, for about three days straight. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? It should be specified in the owner's manual. Sometimes, preamp outputs are fixed-level, like a tape-out output, so that the sugnal is at a constant setting. The variable level output will be affected by adjustments to the Nova's volume control. I... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? You are correct about the "in-line" set up. Go ahead with your plans. I would do some critical listening before and after the sub is in the system. Don't pay much attention to the bass, which will of course be different. Listen for changes in the ... | |
| Please Recommend a Cartridge for a Thorens TD-145 I get excellent tracking and decent sound with an Ortofon OM 30 Super (no longer inproduction) on my stock arm on my TD-166 MkII. I also have a second wand with a Denon DL-160 (also no longer in production). It doesn't track quite as well, but off... | |
| Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C I have a used pair of MWTs for surrounds. Before instaslling them, I hooked them up in place of my 2000s briefly. I must say I was surprised by how close the MWTs sounded to the 2000s. A little less bass extension and slam, but otherwise, really c... | |
| any def tech fans? I never heard Def Techs that, to me, weren't screachingly bright, etched, and super hyped-up in the treble. Absolutely painful to listen to. I have owned a PF15 sub since 1995, which I use now for LFE and the the bass for center and surround chann... | |
| My Marantz TT-15 and Parasound JC3 don't get along I would add a Mossberg 18 gauge shotgun to your system. It won't cure the hum, but will discourage further burglaries! Seriously, it seems like there might be either design or quality control issues with the JC-3. | |
| McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation I don't have a BSEE. I barely understand how electricity and electrical appliances function. But when I replaced the stock power cable on my McIntosh C220 preamp with an Empowered Cord by K-Works, I absolutely heard some clear, but subtle differen... | |
| Phono Preamp Recommendations Aewhistory: Remember that both the internal phono stage and the Cambridge are being run into the same line-level preamp. I have never heard this Radio Shack product, but I can't imagine it offers resolution high enough to allow the listener to hea... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Rbf1138: I use a pair of Vandersteen 2Wqs with my 2000s, but that's not in your budget. In your budget, I'd look into the Velodyne EQ Max 8. IMHO, having the ability to EQ the in-room response of a sub is very important, and in this price range, n... | |
| Mapleshade Digital ? Thanks, Map. Right now, I have a placeholder digital cable from my SBT to my DAC. I own a great digital cable from K-Works, but it is not long enough for this application (I need 2 meters), so the K-Works is carrying the bits from my Oppo disc pla... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? FWIW, I recently removed some foam sound panels from behind my Ohms (they were at ear level). With carpeting and almost no windows in my cellar listening area, I think I might have overdone it with the sound absorbtion materials. If you look throu... | |
| McIntosh MC252 or Butler TDB 2250? I understand about the shipping charges, but you could also get an in-home trial of the McIntosh, if you're willing to buy a used unit or a b-stock unit. Audio Classics, located near the McIntosh factory in upstate New York. They offer a 7-day ret... | |
| Mapleshade Digital ? Thanks, guys! |
