| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? Dhl, have you experienced the phenomenon described by Shsohis? I do not use the 12V trigger feature but have seen such behavior due to upstream components which in fact may put one or both amps into protection mode briefly. Your suggestion of adju... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? Shsohis, if you're turning on the JC 1s via the 12V trigger rather than manually, it's certainly possible a bit of DC could be coming from the Nagra preamp. The amps should be turned on last and turned off first, and when turning on allow time for... | |
| Parasound JC-1 - Standby during playback? More information on your system (components and line conditioning) could be helpful...Rather than this being due to voltage sag, I would suspect a bit of DC coming from your preamp is causing the amps to go into protection.Always power on your fro... | |

| Graham Phantom Supreme? Egrady, it may not be SRA that's causing the sound to be harsh, there's a very strong possibility of incorrect azimuth. In all of the alignments I've done, rarely is the optimum azimuth setting at the dead level position, regardless of the cost of... | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Whoa! Hey man, it was a joke, so relax! Syntax's post was great fun, by the way. | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions Ebm, it might help if you came up for air once in a while :) | |
| TW Raven Owners: Set Up Questions In addition to the above, granite can be OK if damped by gluing linoleum to the underside. | |
| Empirical Audio Overdrive vs AMR DP 777 If the Overdrive is available for audition without requiring purchase, it would be easy enough to do a side by side comparison, otherwise you're throwing darts blindfolded. | |
| So Many Apogees for sale, and so few takers Hi Bob (Baranyi), I'm doing great and hope you are, too. Sorry to hear you weren't able to try the Lazarus, but so it goes, and I gather you gave up on the Apogee project. Anyway, stop by next time you're up this way, I'm open just about 24/7 :-) | |
| Table/Cart Set Up - By Ear or Test Record? It's better when the technical method correlates well with the ear. Less guesswork and time, and unanimous glowing testimonials. | |
| In Illinois, who can professionally set-up my Linn I owned an LP12 as my first high end 'table. While I moved on to others and ultimately became a dealer for other brands, it served me well.As Catastrofe mentioned, I am in the Chicago area (northwest suburbs) but travel regularly to assist clients... | |
| What happened to Welborne Labs? Islandmandan, unfortunately Ron Welborne vanished from the scene several years ago. If you do a web search on Welborne Labs you'll probably see many red flags. It's a pity, but if it cost you $100 instead of thousands as it did for some, you might... | |
| "Brand New"...I don't think so I always wondered what the difference is between "new" and "brand new."It could be the topic of a Seinfeld episode. | |
| Setting Azimuth Lewm: No, I take no issue with the point about azimuth adjustment not being a way to change channel balance. Far from it.Doug: I agree with your remark about overpriced gadgets, but adjusting by trial and error without measurement can be akin to t... |
