| Cerwin Vega owner As far as THD, it will be most noticeable whenever your volume is turned up and the source is muted. It will be a hiss. I would never use anything less than 14-gauge speaker wire, depending on distance and wattage. I am not sure how to desc... | |
| 6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes? I am no tube expert but is has been my past experience that tubes with larger glass envelopes generally seem to add to the 3D experience and sound more open and holographic! As far as price goes, I haven't noticed much difference. Sometimes the... | |
| 6N8S 6SN7 6Н8С tubes? They are both soviet tubes, similar but some have larger glass envelopes. NEVZ means Novosibirsk Electron Vacuum Plant If ever in doubt you can always compare the filament voltage and amperage by googling the specs of each tube. It’s a good idea... | |
| Cerwin Vega owner The definition of good varies by individual experience. If I were you, I'd stay right where you are and enjoy the music instead of looking for flaws and allowing it to become an obsession as so many audiophiles do and spend your $ elsewhere! It t... | |
| “Center” of soundstage is left of center… Have you tried reversing the left and right speaker outputs to see if the problem is with your equipment or your ears? No offense intended! If the center changes to the opposite side, you likely have an equipment issue. Are the left and right sid... | |
| Arcam SA30 issue with input neversatisfied OP It's in the manual. I'd call Arcam. | |
| Trying to get bluetooth headphones connected for TV audio I am not familiar with your TV, but the TV's menu (under audio) should have the option to connect to your headphones without any latency issues. All my TV's have that, although I don't use it. | |
| Records and CDs rvpiano OP: Maybe the new cartridge will inspire you, at least for a while. I stopped and returned to vinyl, including getting rid of my turntables and then rebuying turntables back and forth all over again 3 or 4 times over the past several y... | |
| Records and CDs drmuso: I used to do the same. Still have my Nakamichi Dragon tape deck in good working order, but you still have to go through the time-consuming process of recording everything, and that's if you can find a quality TDK MA series blank cassette ... | |
| Records and CDs Speaking for myself, the only records I have that sound worthy of my time to listen to considering all of the preparation and time required are the full size 12-inch 45 RPM singles and those were never very popular and difficult to find. They hold... | |
| Records and CDs rvpiano: You and me both!!! I only wish that I could get back what I invested in all that media over the past few decades and just keep a handful of the irreplaceable ones. I'd be paying a visit to the local exotic car dealership! | |
| Looking to upgrade Adcom GFA555: Parasound? The THD on that Parasound amp is pretty high for what it costs. Not that it will sound bad but based on my distant past experience with Adcom and Parasound and all other things being equal the Adcom you have is going to sound brighter and more ref... | |
| Arcam SA30 issue with input neversatisfied OP: That’s the problem with hi tech. If it’s not one thing it’s another. I treasure all my old school audio gear although the new stuff is awesome once you work out all the bugs and get through the often-frustrating learning cur... | |
| Arcam SA30 issue with input Check the net standby settings for on or off and try setting the timeout stand by to the max. It may be going into standby mode automatically. | |
| Mcintosh PS2k sub I don't think I 'd want to hear it because then I might be tempted to get two! At that price I would have liked to see speaker level inputs also though. |
