| VPI Aries 1 Motor Hum? Never mind. It’s not the motor humming, it’s the shelf it’s on. | |
| Know Anyone in the Los Angeles Area that does SME Rewires? Move the ICs around. You might be surprised.Indeed I was! Thanks. | |
| DIY Stylus Guard Help Thanks for the suggestions. No thanks for all the bickering. Do that on your own threads please. | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? i agree, there is a saying, when you are finally done trying all the speakers out there, likely you will have a set of harbethsI can attest to the fact that this is true having gone through tons of other speakers. | |
| Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s Yeah, I tried a ATC SCM 20s at our old place and loved them but I can't get power to where the speakers are. The listening space is great but has limitations. | |
| Back to trying to upgrade Harbeth 30.1s Well it should be easy to try a P3ESR. Those trade like currency on Audiogon. I should grab and pair a do a comparison. Thanks for the Marten suggestion @Ryder. Are they tonally closer to Raidho than Harbeth. I've tried C1s and they were too cold ... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? The reality is that we use things like grilles and cables and different tubes as tone controls to tailor the sound to our individual liking. No more, no less. | |
| What is this cartridge? Interesting! Thanks! | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? I worshipped my LP12- had it for 15 years. Used it with a number of cartridges and phono preamps but the last it was running with was a Lyra Delos through a ASR Basis Exclusive. I wasn't thrilled with the sound at the end and went to have it re-se... | |
| Anyone Using Harbeths with Grilles off? Oooh. That's a nice solution. I've been doing the paperclip method where I use a pair of need nose pliers to bend about 1/4" of a paperclip and then insert, turn and pull. I feel like I'm going to tear the grille at some point. Doesn't matter much... | |
| A pragmatic view of cartridge expenses / many questions Recent bought a degritter and I can attest to its value. Beside just an overall better sounding record, the quieter the phono stage the more you can appreciate the reduced noise floor it creates. A Decca cartridge will work well with your SME. Onc... | |
| 6x4 rectifier question Thank you for this. I'll order one and compare. I did some research and I ended up with a Sylvania 6X4 green printing with the triangle logo. $15 and better sounding than the Mullards I had previously in my LL2.1 and LP2. | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? I’m not worried. Seller is a friend. My wife is saying that our fridge problems started around the same time. Maybe it’s related to the fridge some how? Who knows. Maybe when the fridge is fixed on Friday the hum will come back and I"ll have to ta... | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? Lamm tech said they found the LP2 to be incompatible with older home wiring and the cheater plug is the fix. It's the best outcome for me, so I'm going with that explanation. | |
| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? Well to be fair to Ralph, there may very well be something wrong. The hum is happening everywhere I hooked it up, including my neighbor the electrical engineer's bench. The solution my simply be covering up the problem, possibly something going wr... |
