| Long headshell required Are you talking about a common universal headshell? If so, your request suggests something else is off in your alignment, such as the P2S distance. It might help to know the pickup arm that you are using. | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I concluded that it could not be certain the ARC Ref 3 is fully balanced. I’ve seen the schematic (of the Ref Phono 2SE), so I know it’s balanced. You’re obviously just going to cling to your notions, such as that differential cir... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I think we shall agree to differ. Really, you’re going to cling to the silly notion that differentially balanced circuits are "artificially balanced?" Yes, we differ, because I’m among many that think differential circuits are... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker But I still cannot see how it can be fully balanced if it has only phonos for inputs. You apparently don’t understand what balanced operation is. The connectors really don’t have anything to do with it - whether a component is... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker It isn’t FULLY balanced. Whilst XLRs are an option for the output, the input is phono plugs only with two wires only. There is no separate earth. The earth must run on one or other of the two signal wires. You are completely mis... | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? clearthinker I have had ARC phono amps before but I didn't look at the Ref3 because it can't be run fully balanced ... You're mistaken. All the ARC Reference line stage and phono preamps run fully balanced using differential circuits. | |
| Suggestions for Digital Audio Recorder Another option is the Korg MR2000S. I still have an Alesis Masterlink in my rack, which is actually quite a good recorder. | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing winoguy17 I don’t feel its a trend. There has always been uber expensive options in every facet for those that can afford them ... Exactly. And why should anyone care what others spend on speakers, or a house, car, vacation or anything else?... | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... atmasphere Atma-Sphere was the first to offer a balanced phono input, back in 1989. The sales manager of ARC contacted me about how that connection was done ... and a couple of years later ARC had a balanced input. To my understanding they d... | |
| Acoustic Signature turntables Everybody has his opinion and I'm sure you'll hear plenty. But there's no set of meaningful answers to your curiosity. While it's probably true of everything that's audio related, it's absolutely true that with turntables and pickup arms, the exec... | |
| Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output... lewm AR is not known for balanced circuits. You're mistaken - ARC was building balanced, differential amplifiers and preamplifiers long before the design became popular. The Reference One preamp goes back to the mid-90s, for example. | |
| Streaming Qobuz via iPad last_lemming I think I should be using the HEOS (marantz) app. But is doesnt appear to have Qobuz Hmmm, it looks like HEOS does not directly support Qobuz. I think you may need to use something like BubbleUPnP, but that’s for A... | |
| Streaming Qobuz via iPad ghdprentice If what you say is that you are streaming “from” your iPad. That is the problem. This probably means you are using communication from the iPad to the streamer… you do not want to do that ... This is an Apple communication proble... | |
| Streaming Qobuz via iPad sfar ... the iPad is acting just as a remote control. The OP said he's using the Qobuz app, so it's likely that he's using wifi and Airplay to get the signal to his streamer. That may be the source of his dropouts. | |
| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? sns Lots of usb reclockers, decrapifiers, renderers/streamers out there, doubt there is some objective heiarchy of quality. +1, and it's part of what makes getting good digital such a challenge, and why it's impossible to state any one ap... |
