| ok im opening pandoras box here.(treatment vs framed wall art) Unfortunately glass will have to go. Notwithstanding the suggestion to add SR products these will only tame but not remove the effects of the highly acoustically reflective pictures (I have a full SR ART and HFT setup originally installed in my So... | |
| Miyajima Zero hum? The prior thread suggested that the hum was preamp dependent so if you can get a miyajima on loan to try it out you could see if the hum arose in your setup. Hate for you to miss out on this cartridge. It smoked the Lyra that I was using before | |
| Miyajima Zero hum? Unfortunately I think you may be out of luck. I have the Zero and exactly the same hum problem. Engaging the mono switch on my preamp while connecting both channels clears up the problem completely. The other fixes suggested such as using a single... | |
| New listening room electrical design Nice problem to have 😀I went through the same a few years ago. My advice would be to add as many seperate lines as you can be bothered with. Ideally at least a pair on each wall, well spaced to allow for future changes in equipment location. For t... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution Maybe I'm in a minority but I would be extremely unhappy to discover that a Q5 I purchased used had been "modified" by the previous owner. As I recall Magico spec even the torque to be applied to the bolts holding their cabinets together, even try... | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution Also I remembered the covers are there because beryllium is very poisonous. You really need to keep your granddaughter away. | |
| Upsetting story looking for a solution Can't your dealer handle the replacement? I managed to blow out a driver on my old V3s and my dealer swapped it out. Unless the construction on the Q series is the issuein any case you do need to fix it, whether it affects the sound or not you hav... | |
| Bill Evans - Jim Hall – Undercurrent MOFI 1-031 I also got a bum copy, sound lacked all body as you describe although as I recall no issue with warps -- there was clearly a defective pressing run of this issue -- ask for a replacement, my second copy is fine | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC WBY is "Wild Blue Yonder" which is the full name for the AQ Wild cableWEL sounds so much better than Wild, if you are going to get a cable hold out for the WEL. The Wild for sale has no box which is a major no no with a used cable, easily reduces ... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Re the AQ cables -- I am a very satisfied user and buyer/seller of lots of WEL. WEL will beat WBY any time. As to the connectors don't worry, the old ones are fine. You should expect to pay no more than $2K (give or take) for a used 1M WEL interco... | |
| Speaker Isolation -- Experience with Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums Thanks Shaizada -- I know Dan and am aware he distributes Townshend but as Ozzy pointed out neither he, nor any of the US sellers, have specific details on the podiums. From others I do know however that the US pricing is basically the same as the... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? many want their system to make lousy recordings sound good, or make all recordings sound the same...as opposed to your system presenting the sound as recorded..Could not agree more, while there are certainly lousy performances I've found that as m... | |
| Durand Kairos vs Reed 3P : listening impressions Well as a Kairos owner I can certainly endorse it whole heartedly. I always admired the Talea but as it is no longer available purchased a Kairos to replace a Triplanar VII which it beat soundly (especially on control of the cartridge (an Air Tigh... | |
| Any thoughts on a solid hickory platform under my tt Adding to Geoff's comments the vibrations he describes (earthquakes, construction, passing cars) are very real and the effect of removing them (in my case by isolating my speakers) is profound. This is quite different from the normal (and also rel... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Lest I compound the impression of being rich as Croesus 💰💰💰💰 I should not that for my most recent build out I did not use the JPS again but instead opted for the Synergistic Research cryo treated Romex at <$10/foot (I forget the actual price)D... |
