| New Naim Forum The big power supplies are a transformative upgrade for Naim gear. From what I can see, not many Naim lovers here. Not Naim haters, but most Naim owners gravitate to the Naim forum. BTW, the HiLine IC made a huge difference as well. We had a comp... | |
| LINN LINTO NOISE I have a Linto, but I never shut it down before shutting the amp down first, or at least changing the input selector. Many products have a turn-off thump and one of the things we learn is to turn the amp on last and off first to avoid the thumps b... | |
| Audioquest vs Mogami XLR Audio connector cables I don’t think the actual argument is that all cables sound the same. It’s something that has been parroted so many times that it has become a complete thought. The actual statement is that all cables that measure the same in terms of resistance, i... | |
| What is Tight Bass? Tight bass is an audiophile term that I never heard used in all my years working as a musician or in the studios. I think audiophiles use it to mean that you can differentiate the pitches of the bass instrument as opposed to a general rumble of lo... | |
| Looking for nearfield passive speakers that are warm and rich Not sure of what size people consider desktop but I think the Chartwell LS6 are very nice for near field. Check out the size before buying. | |
| Heart vs the Head / Irrational Audio Compulsions? As my dear departed wife used to say: “If not now, when?.” | |
| Heart vs the Head / Irrational Audio Compulsions? As I recall, Peter Aczel of The Audio Critic dubbed it the “I’ve got to have it” syndrome. It does exist. For some reason, an Audio Note dac seems to be permeating my thoughts right now. | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer So call your dealer. I cannot tell you how many times I see this. People have issues with equipment and they don’t contact the dealer. Dealers make big margins on these items and part of that goes to customer service. I cannot believe that any de... | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer Oh, I thought you bought the amp from Overture Audio. My mistake. Who did you buy it from? | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer Overture audio has an excellent reputation. I have no doubt they will resolve your issues. Maybe they have another Kondo that doesn’t buzz. But I wouldn’t be shocked if you bring your amp into them and it doesn’t hum. Transformers can be sensitive... | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer It means that Kondo is saying your buzzing is within their specifications. If you bought it new, you should contact your dealer. You should not have to put up with anything annoying in a product that is so expensive. Very unfortunate. | |
| Kondo Overture PM2i - buzzing noise from transformer Transformers should not be audibly buzzing. It is not normal. If that were true, all of your transformers would be buzzing. | |
| Any experience with Sound Smith repairing stylus on non-Sound Smith cartridges? Peter did a retip on my Transfiguration and it came out great. As far as the original sound, you have to remember that by the time you send a cartridge in for a retip, it’s because the sound is off somewhat, so it’s hard to know. But it does sound... | |
| Emotional connection I think that the music you were listening to in high school imprints on your psyche and stays with you emotionally. You may branch out later into other types of music but the memory stays. | |
| Holo Audio Spring 3 DAC Haven't heard these DACs, but based on the number of threads asking for comparisons between the Spring 3 and the May, if you're one of those people who will buy the Spring for price and then constantly flog yourself thinking how much better the Ma... |
