| Just upgraded my Integrated Amp - now here a HUM out of my LUMIN - HELP I'm lucky to have found this thread. I have a hum/radio station interference issue that that only occurs when I use my Mytek Brooklyn Bridge as a phono input for my Lyra Delos. The high gain MC choice, of course, is noisier than the low gain MM ... | |
| Tube tester...anyone own their own? I might have made one in Jr. High Electric Shop back in the 1960’s. | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? Oh yeah. I remember my Grado! Could've easily have lived with it for the rest of my days. I even met Grado at a hifi show. | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? glennewdick -- yeah, like it is with many others, my Denon 103 is long-departed. First and foremost, I could never get it to track, especially through the inner grooves. It drove me nuts, too, that even when the Denon did track the inner grooves... | |
| Recomend Some Albums Recorded with True Imaging. Everything from M. A. Recordings is minimally miked in real spaces in a single take. Label Owner/Producer/Chief Engineer Todd Garfinkle may record digitally but it doesn't matter. Pick anything from the label's catalogue. A good place to start is... | |
| What is the appeal of the Denon 103 cartridges? The 103's appeal is simple. Lovely sound. | |
| Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound? I'm so non-neurotic about decor, despite the fact all my electronic components are modestly black, I bought a silver-cased Mytek BB simply because it was slightly cheaper. I gotta say, too, that it actually livens up what is otherwise a glumly po... | |
| Do you prefer tidy room to messy one with better sound? I'll never be fastidious when it comes to my man caves. I have LPs scattered about, far from their appointed shelves. I have a pile of stereo magazines within easy reach. Wires and cables festoon the floor. There's the music stand with music on... | |
| What do you think about this statement about "AUDIOPHILE"? Yeah, I have to agree with the statement but that doesn't mean you are a fool for continuing the pursuit. Every small increase in fidelity brings me pleasure. Let your wallet and your conscience be your guide. | |
| Basic EL34 and 6sn7 tube recommendation. I've been enjoying the 6550's that Upscale recently sent my way. Midrange isn't quite as beautiful as my EL34 tubes delivered but the 6550 midrange is still beautiful as hell and the 6550's give me more top, bottom and punch. (I can't remember the... | |
| Asking suggestion for $15,000 audio system for classical music I'm a classical-oriented guy who plays, among other instruments, violin & acoustic piano. I go to my share of classical concerts. Tone quality and imaging are what I crave. Slam isn't my top priority and I really don't care that my system w... | |
| WD-40 for electronics My tiny vial of Tweek is now at least a decade old and it is still half full. Green slime? Huh? Wha? Maybe I should do a scientific experiment and put some on a handkerchief. | |
| What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More? I've been through my share of gear over the years and yes, for whatever reason, I've found that the majority of components do sound better after they've been played for a while. Agreed, some of it might just be your ears coming to terms with what ... | |
| And now it's Neil Innes. I still listen to my Bonzo Dog Band LPs. RIP Neil! | |
| WD-40 for electronics DeoxIT has always worked on my PrimaLuna's knobs when they've gotten noisy. The stuff has also always improved fidelity. |
