| Thinking of a new preamp and looking for advice... jptenberg1 cleedsGood suggestion. I just tried it with my iPod. Iplugged it into a SE input and the hum was not there. As soon as I connected another cable to the right channel, the hum came back...Have you checked the electrical wiring in... | |
| Thinking of a new preamp and looking for advice... I am still not convinced that this is a ground loop, especially because you report that the Jensen xformers didn't resolve the problem.Here's what I suggest: Connect to your preamp a battery operated source, such as an iPod or portable radio, usin... | |
| Thinking of a new preamp and looking for advice... jptenberg1 I have a ground loop that I cannot find...It works fine at other locations, but has a hum in only the right channel in my listening room... What makes you certain that the cause of the hum is a ground loop? Typically, a ground loop... | |
| Audio Research SP20 vs LS25 and Whest Phono Pre marktomaras One concern I have is that my Whest is providing 60dB of gain to my Lyra Delos. Then, the ARC LS25 is providing 18dB of gain through the balanced connection. The specs on the SP20 are showing lower gain in the phono stage and low... | |

| Tonearm microphonics rauliruegasBtw, @cleeds : do you tested it? not yet?I tested my pickup arm for microphonics before I purchased it. Limiting microphonics is a critical function of a good pickup arm. | |
| Directionality of wire terry94 As to my remark about the pins of a phono cartridge, it was you who brought up the notion of source. If you now wish to recant, that’s fine with me There is nothing for me to recant. What I asked was: " What common point do all components... | |
| Directionality of wire I wrote:Second, the purpose of the extra shield is to minimize noise. One way to do that is to have all grounds at the same potential. terry9 sezBut that is already achieved with the negative wire of the balanced line. We’re talking about single-e... | |
| Directionality of wire terry9This method of connection (shield to the insensitive end) has been used in pro audio since Cain first cryo’d Able’s tubesIf by "insensitive end" you mean the amplifier end - as George stated - then you are completely confused.First, we’re ta... | |
| Tonearm microphonics I agree with clearthink on this. A phono cartridge is not a microphone and microphonic behavior in a turntable system is something you want to minimize. The best turntable/pickup arm/phono cartridge combinations can virtually eliminate microphonic... | |
| Directionality of wire georgehifiWith today’s quality RCA interconnects, it’s because most of them use 2 core inner cables "with an earth shield only connected at one end." This end should be leading to the poweramp end of signal direction ...That isn't consistent w... | |
