| Comment about SS and Tubes @rodman99999 Thank you. I would like to further communicate. Posting picture (me posting) would help but I don't know how. But I can measure and give a decent description. And I am super curious about bi-amping. As like SUPER. c e p a g e s ... | |
| Comment about SS and Tubes @jjss49 I know I am saying loud. And you are absolutely correct. But the richness and deeper (and rich) bass was a "wow" moment for me. I truly underestimated my Totem Winds. | |
| Comment about SS and Tubes @blisshifi No, I have one amp off when I use the other. The Winds are on the 200.2 and the Mani 2 are on the 805's can I bi-amp with that combination? I would love to, I just thought both amps had to be identical..... | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @jasonbourne52 I kind of thought that. I bought them at an auction clearance of a store going out of business. Got them for $100. So I used them. But I had my doubts about the technology. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @rodman99999 I do need a multi-meter anyway. Good time to get one. All curiosity. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @mceljo I was and am happy. Just surprised that a: I didn't realize they had batteries and B: that they didn't leak after so many years! But what you say is correct. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @jetter @russ69 I was thinking about that; and now that you suggest it - I am going to do it. No harm. | |
| Batteries in my Audioquest Colorado RCA interconnects @carlsbad Agree. Thank you. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @michaellent I thought I responded and thanked you; but it appears not. So thank you. And thank you for the referral to Music Direct! And the cartridge SoundSmith. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @audphile1 I will just have to get one. You're probably right. Just for kicks, what is your setup? Pre, main amp, TT and preferred cartridge? I just listened to Keith Jarrett on a 1990's recording and it sounded like I was walking through Heaven... | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @lewm You had to ask. A logical question. But yes, it was plugged into the MM inputs. My Musical Fidelity 5.5 CD player has a moderate volume into the pre-amp; my Cary Audio DAC is a higher volume into my pre-amp (I have to turn down the volume s... | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @ghdprentice At some point there are diminishing returns. I don't like the re-tipping of MC carts or having to send to the factory for a rebuilt one. But then how many hours do you get from one? 1000 hours? 2 albums a day a year and a half of life... | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @lewm Very good advice. I am into the technical details on things I work on (Old Colt firearms) and my music. Math major and IT field most of my life. I like details and I like projects coming together. | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @nekoaudio I am using the Pro-Ject Align it. I took my time. And I have a Stylus Force Gauge. I first got the tonearm to "float" then zeroed. Then dialed in the proper weight for the cartridge. Then I verified and made a minor adjustment after u... | |
| Update on my TT causing distortion at higher volume @ghdprentice I have "the bug" right now; then back to reality: I want an MM and a MC to see if I can tell the difference. Then I will feel a bit more educated. My original Legacy MC that came with the TT got trashed; somehow. which sent me down ... |
