| Help with hiss @2psyop Thanks for sharing. I’m really sorry to hear of your experience. Mine has been the complete opposite. I’m sure there’s stories of great successes and not so great in every manufacturer’s history. I’m glad you found your resolve and are bac... | |
| Help with hiss @campoly Similar story. These monos started life as Stratos and later upgraded to Kismet status. I think. I brought them to Klaus and said “do something”. He did. They sound great. @boxcarman Thank you for that. I do have a couple of pieces I co... | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? @chester_bunger Sure! I have the NIOSH SLM app on my iPhone and iPad. I’m sure they make one for Android. I think it works well. | |
| Help with hiss @tee_dee I may have to spend the rest of my life figuring this out! It can’t stay like this! @wturkey Thanks! I may have one left over when I had to chase a ground loop hum in my (home theater) subwoofer. @panzrwagn Thank you so much for this! V... | |
| Help with hiss @ditusa Hi Mike, The Loki does have a wall wart. I’ll unplug it to see if that helps. I have several components that use wall wart style power supplies. I’ll check them all while I’m at it. I had thought of the bias issue. I’ve read several discu... | |
| Help with hiss @audiojan Thank you so much for that! I do what I can to route the cables that way. It’s quite a mess back there without a lot of room to spread things out like they should be. I am cognizant of it, though. I will also do as you suggest and discon... | |
| Help with hiss @erik_squires Oh, I did not take it that way at all!🙏🏻 I think I was trying to address the very real issue of shielded vs. unshielded. I’m not sure which of the cables are which, but it will be very easy to get that information. I’m afraid my Bric... | |
| Help with hiss @erik_squires I had that thought as well. I didn’t so much change any cables, but I did add a cable around Christmas time. I got a Schiit Loki for Christmas, so I broke out a pair of Raven Audio cables to use to put the Loki in the system. Unfortu... | |
| Help with hiss Man, I am so appreciative for all these suggestions and help! I knew I came to the right place! @erik_squires As far as the LED thing, this is a large kitchen ceiling light that I converted from 2x4’ fluorescent bulbs to 2 LED bulbs. I didn’t rep... | |
| Help with hiss @nd1der All the rest of my gear is plugged in to a Brick Wall, which is plugged into the same circuit. This includes the Mac laptop that I use for steaming. Knowing that computers can cause issues, I unplugged that from the Brick Wall with no rel... | |
| Help with hiss @carlsbad2 I had given that some thought, and I agree that it is likely upstream from the amps/speakers. Question: my preamp is a tube pre that is not on or in standby mode. It is plugged in, but fully “off”. Could it still create a problem? Than... | |
| Help with hiss @soix Thank you so much. This is definitely a drag. It does happen at night, but my listening may start before the hiss starts. Once the hiss starts, it’s pretty obvious. Even my wife noticed it. I had feared that it might be something in the grid... | |
| Help with hiss @soix Thank you. Excellent question and something I forgot to include. I’ve owned this system in its current iteration for a few years now. This hiss started maybe 2 or 3 months ago, but I lose track. The only new “thing” I’ve added to my home is... | |
| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer Thank you, @soix . I have every intention of doing so.😉 I saw that you can save a couple of dollars by buying both at the same time, so I’ll save a little longer to be able to do that. | |
| ZEN Mini S vs. Small Green Computer Sonic Transporter i5 music server/Ultra Rendu Streamer @drlou77 I am by no means an expert at this, nor an expert on Innuos products. I have been researching these very options of late, as I heard the Zen at the Capital Audio Fest and I really liked it. It appears that the ZenMini S is a new produc... |
