| Tube recommendation for Audio Research LS-2b? Yes a large '253' is etched vertically near the top. The orange labeling is easily scratched off, however. | |
| Tube recommendation for Audio Research LS-2b? I have an LS2B-MKII and have compared the stock Sovtek 6922 with an Amperex 7803 (PQ/Orange). The Amperex was much more detailed but added a slight sibilance. I'm not sure if the tube was the issue or whether the preamp needed a bias adjustment. (... | |
| Cheap Interconnects from Hong Kong I found this thread after seeing a massive assault of XLO speaker cables from Hong Kong on eBay. Having owned (and still owning) a number of XLO speaker cables the fakes are just obvious to me. It reminded me of the book 'Blink' - trust your intui... | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Thanks Atmasphere and Snfrosten. I will take my LP12 to the Linn dealer and ask them to try it on their system. I'll keep you posted. | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Thanks everyone. Does anyone know how to attach a ground wire to a Linn motor? I'll ask my Linn 'mechanic' but I can already see the look on his face. | |
| Dynavector 20 Xl , Benz Micro Ace SL or Denon Dear Raul, Am I understanding you correctly? Don't buy a HOMC? Any HOMC? I have an ARC PH1 phono pre with 48db gain. What cartridge would you recommend to upgrade from a Grado Z+?Thanks,George | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Thanks Atmasphere. I'm pretty sure there is a ground wire going from the arm base to the bearing sub-chassis. The motor is attached directly to the top stainless steel suspension plate. Is there a missing connection between the top plate and sub-c... | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? After doing much research on Audiogon and the web in general, I am beginning to realize the problem is a ground loop hum. I have a rooftop FM antenna that is grounded to a single rebar spike. This apparently is not a good setup - too much resistan... | |
| PSE Studio 4 amplifier - any good? I am currently using the Studio IV and still have the Studio V's which I bought several years ago. The monoblock Studio V's have a bit more 'heft' and bass as you would expect, but the IV has, perhaps, a bit more focus, though I haven't done a lot... | |
| Home theatre power amp questions Dear Ajkm and Mwwolf: regarding PSE repairs, Dean Klinefelter is back doing repairs and upgrades. He upgraded my Studio V's with a zero (or near-zero feedback) mod. He was 'under the radar' and had my amps for a while, but they made it back and so... | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Thanks Sean. I do have the Lingo. I've only had two cartridges on this 'table (both Grado), so maybe it's time to live dangerously and try something new ;-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks again, Lew! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm et al., ...sorry to backtrack by a couple of weeks... another basic question: I'm leaning towards an Ortofon M20FL. Do the Otofons have better 'shielding' than the recent Grados (Z+). I have a terrible RF problem where I live.George | |
| Stand out phono stages Well-said Ed!George | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Thanks Coxhaus and Metralla. I did some research on hum problems and tried one suggestion with some success. That was to move the LP12 away from other components, especially their transformers. I realized the turntable motor was about 6-8" away fr... |
