| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono What is the reason to have unshielded tonearm leads?I bought the M2-12R from the dealer who suggested rewiring it in this manner for better sound. It really makes a difference.... SME's wire has never been their strong suit. I'm super happy with t... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono Tonearm leads. Mine are very fine non shielded cables that run from headshell to RCAs. I really should have realized this a while ago. | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono That is what I thought too except as millercarbon pointed out, there's more too it. Until I got the phono leads into a better position, I didn't realize how much noise I was dealing with beyond tube rush. It sure sounded like tube rush but it wasn't. | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono Experiment with phono lead routing. Sometimes they like being together, sometimes apart, and sometimes even a small change makes a difference. I use Scotch tape once I get them where I want.This has already worked. I use a wall shelf for my TT and... | |
| Trying to reduce noise while listening to tube phono Thank you so much for this! I'll work through the list and see what changes. | |
| Have you ever downgraded deliberately? I think I upgraded while "downgrading" from multi thousand dollar low output MC cartridges to high output MM and MI. I had gotten away from why I was listening to music by getting sucked in to the audiophile dog and pony show. | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet users have tube suggestions? Yes! | |
| Nice MM Phone Preamp to use while main unit is getting repaired? Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try the Mani if the guy I made an offer on an ASR Mini Basis won't accept. Can't do without music for the 3 weeks the unit will be gone.Not sure what the update is. Maybe someone here can help? I discuseed with Kei... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... Update: I just spent a week with ATC SCM19 v2s in the house and I can say that for me, they aren't even close to the 30.1s. Very sterile, way more "pro" sounding than I expected. Really no sense of musicians playing in a room with fingers on instr... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I think the SCM19 v2 are the home version of that speaker but with a better tweeter. I'm looking for a pair to audition. | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I want Harbeth plus dynamics. Was thinking the with the right front end and amplification it's easier to give souI to carmels than give dynamics to the 30.1s. I don't have space for speakers that need to be plugged in right now otherwise I would c... | |
| People That Have Upgraded From Harbeth 30.1s.... I feel like I have settled in the same place. They are tough to replace, especially considering that I have space limitations..... if I didn’t, I’d have Quad ESL57s here in a second. There’s a pair of YG Carmels posted for sale here that I almost ... | |
| Worth it to try a SUT with a 103R and Herron VTPH-2? This is all GREAT info. Thanks all! | |
| Worth it to try a SUT with a 103R and Herron VTPH-2? Now that's something I haven't thought of (he said, shooting an email to Keith Herron!) | |
| SME Setup With Slotted Headshell Luckily I set the pivot to spindle before I sent back the SME so I can use the DB protector. I also found an Accutrak arc protractor that I had ordered a while ago and never used. I'm going to play with that and then decide whether to order the DB... |
