| Preamp repeatedly blows fuses Th fuse I replaced was the line fuse. after a thorough inspection, I couldn't locate any other fuses on the unit. Keep in mind, this is an ASUSA product, not an Antique Sound Labs product. If memory serves, ASUSA was bought out by ASL. It's a pret... | |
| Hd not recognized on dac...iTunes, pc, USB problem To more directly address one of your questions: If you're running Windows 7 audio output in shared mode, a sample rate conversion is certainly taking place. The audio is also being molested on its way out of the PC through digital EQ, volume level... | |
| Hd not recognized on dac...iTunes, pc, USB problem I'll first address the format question:No, you can't play FLAC on iTunes, and since you are using a PC, there is no free solution for converting FLAC to ALAC (m4a).I used foobar2000 for quite some time before switching to JRMC15, and I think there... | |
| Preamp "Snap, Crackle, Pop" Hi all,Thanks for the suggestions, but I think I found the problem. I'm certainly going to re-tube this guy soon, as some new 12AX7s to replace the 12AU7s would be a good idea anyways.The tube socket for the GZ34 was the culprit (at least upon ini... | |
| Preamp "Snap, Crackle, Pop" I should also mention that there is a tremendous amount of hissing and feedback at times as well. I hope someone has input, I'm just not certain which route to go. New tubes? Output caps? It was made in 1997, and still has all but one original tub... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Zman,Even though I already knew you produced cables very similar to Paul's, I didn't take it as shilling.Now that you mention it, I have recently upgraded a few components up-stream. The only real constant (if you check out my system) has been my ... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore In response to Boniccie:I don't own Lores, I own Eric's OB 4.5 monitors and I use Paul Speltz Anti Cable speaker cables. I love these cables, but expect a very long burn-in on them. I mean long. I'm at about 300+ hours on my entire system and just... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Sukihock, Eric does prefer to do business over the phone. He's a busy guy and doesn't have a chance to sit in front of the computer often. I have a pair of the OB4.5s. Zman and gpowered, if you thought imaging was scary on the Lores/Katz...you ain... | |
| Anyone have experience with new Jolida power amp? I have had the pleasure of working 50 yards from the Jolida factory and United Home Audio store for the past couple years. I just auditioned both the 1501 and 502. Jerred Dunkerson let me bring my source, DAC and auditioning material to the store ... | |
| USB reclocker pecking order? I think the first question you would have to ask yourself is "How much am I willing to spend?" Relative to the cost of your source material, preamp, amplifier, and speakers, do you really want to spend as much as $895 for something like the Audiop... | |
| Tekton Kat's Meow I haven't heard the Kats Meow, but I have owned a pair of Eric's OB4.5 Open baffle/omni speakers for about four months. I can truly attest to the accuracy of his claims, as well as the quality of his work.Being that the OB4.5 uses only two 4.5 inc... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Elgar's Cello concerto played by Jacqueline du Pré......or Bach's 5th Suite for Cello.Something about solo cello that is brooding, haunting, and ultimately moving! |
