| Diving into the world of tubes...help needed! @berner99 Glad to hear. One thing that really draws me to the PrimaLuna is the bad tube indicators. I still think I'll go with the Vincent in the end though. The only way I can audition a PrimaLuna is to buy one and then if I don't like it a 5%... | |
| Oracle Origine MkII or Music Hall mmf-7.3? Thanks to all! I am almost positive I'll be going with the Oracle now. I have a feeling that similar to my Debut Carbon, the 7.3 will be good, but not astonishing. I'll look into the other suggestions given too. I know SOTA is way out of my price... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @audiorusty You're more than likely right about it being some sort of power related problem (to an extent)...but I think what's causing most of what I'm experiencing is just certain uneven albums, with a little too much bass from my settings@yogib... | |
| Diving into the world of tubes...help needed! @atmasphere I see the advantages to separates. Interesting that you point out about the speaker cable length. Unfortunately I don't really have a room that would work in...maybe one day!I understand what you're saying about tone controls, I hope... | |
| Diving into the world of tubes...help needed! @millercarbon I like tone control for a lot of 'correcting' of recordings so that they sound good to me. I know many will disagree, but eh, it is what it is.Nearly CAD$4000 for their cheapest integrated is a little much for me. Nothing wrong with... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @sonicjoy I've just finished doing some more experimenting...and I think that after alllllll of this, it is just record dependent. I'm relieved, but not overly happy that it's something so simple! My Hotel California LP must be particularly bad,... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @millercarbon I see what you're saying, but I don't *think* that my base system is at a level (at the current moment) to benefit from such tweaks, save for the stand and cones. The whole thing is worth about $4000. | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @psag just the turntable, no other sources! | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) Neat. I was unaware that that's how they worked. I'm not dissatisfied with them per sé, just a little underwhelmed in some cases. A sub-woofer seems like it may be a viable solution though! One of my potential upgrade paths are the 936s, simply... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @mijostyn I was unaware...I thought subs were generally un-powered. I may be trying out some Harbeth speakers this weekend. Quite excited for that. I went to a few hi-fi shops around today and talked to them about this...have a few more things to ... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @stringreen Interesting. There is one about 15km away...I will try a 'cheater cord' to ground to my house rather than to the pre-amp's grounding point. | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @mijostyn Very interesting. I don't have any equipment to drive a subwoofer yet, just good old fashion two channel stuff. A subwoofer will be something to look into in the future possibly!@lewm I'm just itching to audition some speakers now! Ha ... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) Mike, @mijostyn Ahhhh thank you! Little pieces of this puzzle keep coming in. I can’t afford and don’t have the equipment to drive a subwoofer...but would a more full range (i.e. floor standing) speaker be a better choice when I do decide to up... | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @yogiboy Yes it has one, I’ve tried removing it, no change. Of course, I always play with it up anyay. | |
| Unsolvable Woofer Pumping (Phono only) @lewm Sorry about the lack of detail, I didn't want to make it too wordy. I'm new to forums! Fair enough about the filter.I ruled out the unstable stand as the problem by putting the turntable right on the concrete (with thin carpet) floor. And... |
