| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @holmz The tonearm is carbon fiber, the clearaudio ‘Satisfy Carbon’. I wasn’t really looking for a solution with this thread I just thought it was something interesting to share here. Although after a handful of people recommended ditching the dim... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @vinylandtubes Yes I do but I haven’t noticed any issues there compared to when it was placed further from the speaker. Are you thinking from vibrations or something else? | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @designsfx they are just normal light fixtures that used to have incandescent bulbs. The LED’s I got were advertised as an incandescent replacement that fit that socket type. I did put in a fluorescent bulb but only briefly and then removed it. @... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @harpo75 maybe for the sake of experimentation I’ll try some ferrite rings on the switch wiring and see if that does anything. | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @jonwolfpell you’re right, the buzzing was worse with the dimmer all the way down. Maybe I’ll get a regular switch after all. @musicfan2349 any advice on how to make sure the fixtures are grounded? This has reminded me that I used to have a mus... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @holmz The tonearm is grounded to the back of the phono stage. As for the light circuit and audio circuit being on the same side, I’m not sure. I’ll take a look later and report back! | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… @designsfx They are just normal fixtures. I switched out all the lights in my house for LED’s to save electricity but all of the lights in the basement would flicker when dimmed so I bought a dimmer specifically for LED’s and no more flickering af... | |
| So I was changing a lightbulb last night… Interesting, thanks! | |
| Microphonic from Vacuum Tubes? How many hours are on the Linlai tubes? If they are brand new they might need more time to settle in. My Psvane 845 and 300b tubes came with a card in the box saying they could need up to 150hrs until they are fully broken in. I did get some infre... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? @kingharold Thanks for the advice, I’ll check it out. I’ve been swayed here to upgrade my phono stage first but will eventually upgrade the cart too. | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? @tablejockey They do have a less expensive (or maybe more inexpensive?) tube hybrid phono at around $500 so maybe that’s the one you’re remembering? I’m not sure how long the tube box ds2 has been around. As for finding a thread on it, I’ve seen ... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? @williewonka Thanks for the extra info. I don’t have an arsenal of carts that I’ll be swapping in and out so I don’t think needing to take the cover off to adjust the settings would prevent me from pulling the trigger on one. Sounds like maybe a... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? @tablejockey I’ll take a look at the fosgate. My research on phono stages has been very casual as I thought I’d be replacing the cart first so I still have a lot of research to do. I tend to prefer tubes to ss (in general) but am not dead set on... | |
| Upgrade from clearaudio maestro mm to $2-3k mc cart? Thanks everyone. Upgrading the phono stage first makes sense. I’ve heard good things about the simaudio moon. The Manley Chinook and Aestetix Rhea have also caught my eye but the prices (especially for the Rhea) would require extra time to save up... | |
| Budget DAC recommendation for Office system I’ve been happy with my modi multibit in my main system although it will soon be relegated to the office system to make way for the Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE that’s on its way. |
