| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Been listening to latest v1.4 on my Pontus II. Glad with the sound, but irritated with the micro fast forwards I am hearing with CDP playback. Happens intermittently and infrequently, but every once in while the song will fast forward a few sec an... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update @mr_m micro distortions are small static or zzz sound during playback that last much less than 1 second. As if the music distorts, but only very short duration. Happens randomly and infrequently and not repeatable. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I was hearing micro-distortions (which has been reported by some as well, not all) with the v1.4 in my Pontus II. I probably did not give it enough time for burn-in for the sound. I could not live with micro-distortions. | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update Anyone update to FW 1.4 and then revert back FW 1.0 on Pontus II. I did just that. The FW 1.4 sounded less natural as if DSP has been added to the sound like you get in AV receivers. Also I am getting micro-distortions on the sound randomly which ... | |
| Sweet Sounding DAC I liked the Lab12 DAC1, but on the digital inputs connected to a streamer it would create a noise every time the bit rate changed. Manufacturer said it is normal. For $3200, I was not willing to live with noise/clicks/pops, so back it went. | |
| Project Tube Box DS2 vs. Hagerman Audio Trumpet MC Thanks @bkekse. I have a Technics 1210GR with a LOMC cart as well - Hana SL. It feeds into a tube integrated through the Project. I think the stock tubes could be better. I am trying a pair of Mullard reissue 12ax7s. If they are not satisfactory, ... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Found a brand new in box SL1210GR from a different online dealer with a return policy. We will see how this one turns out! | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Will the Technics retain the warmth of belt driven turntables? Michael Fremer in his review indicated that constant adjustment of speed gives it a sharp edge to the sound? | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @stereo5 I think it is a good value given the price, but there is also a cult status that these turntable has achieved and hence it is never in stock. I am certain, a % of these player are escaping QC and many users just do not care, just buy it a... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @larrys have you checked out or know of (through secondhand), the new new Thorens TD-1600. I know the company is nothing like the old, but the 1600 design looks classic and has some decent reviews. It is a bit more expensive $3k than I want to spe... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! So, it looks like all the Technics are gone and I am told backordered until August. Can anyone suggest another TT I can try in this price range up to $2500? I have a Hana SL cart that I would like to use with it. I have Project Tube Box DS2 with G... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @audioguy85 there is wobble of the top surface. I could not capture it with the phone. Whether it is going to be audible is another matter of debate. | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @stereo5 Crutchfield's return policies are pretty good. I sent it back for a refund. This table is out of stock almost everywhere and whenever it is in stock it does not stay that way for long. However, I am very hesitant to try it out again to s... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @chakster and others, I returned it because it is out of stock with no date when it will be in stock again. This table is always out of stock. The crutchfield resident tt expert I talked to said this amount of wobble is "normal" with these table... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! @chakster , no this was NIB. Bought from Crutchfield. There is no way to damage the spindle when opening the box. Also I was careful to lower the platter on the spindle. |
