| Cartridge Alignment Cleeds, I was told differently by the manufacturer of the amp and phono stage so that's why I grounded it that way. Nevertheless, having the cable and ground fixed seems like the better solution. | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Bdp24, what are Quad voltage clamps? | |
| Cartridge Alignment First, let me add that the Grado mono I'm now using is an upgrade from the Grado ME+ mono that was on there before. My thought is that a wood cartridge body should produce less hum than a plastic cartridge body so blaming the current Grado doesn't... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I'm going to have to take my table to an expert as I'm getting a supreme amount of hum. I lined up the cartridge but the table needs attention. And my intuition tells me that a Jelco 750 D tonearm in place of the stock TP-16 MK 1 will resolve my c... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I received news that I'm getting a Statement Sonata 2 Mono as they are now making Series 2 cartridges but here are the specs for the series 1 stereo.Grado Spec's,Frequency Response: 10Hz - 60kHzPrincipal: MIChannel Separation at 1KHz: 40dBInput Lo... | |
| Cartridge Alignment The Mint is just outside of my range due to repairing a Quad ESL. I thought initially that I could purchase a Dr. Feickert protractor but that was before I arched a speaker panel.I've read in many places that the Geodisc just roughed in the null p... | |
| Cartridge Alignment I looked at the tonearms which Mint services and no Thorens TP 16 MK1. Besides the $110.00 is out of my reach at the moment. I have considered a universal AVID which is $60.00. Nevertheless, thanks Andrew9405, I may contact Mint concerning my tone... | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question Yes Spencer, I agree but I didn't realize that V was for version. Anyhow, the new A+ (and there was just an upgrade a couple of days ago) is better than the 1.5 version however, it was possible to drop a list from iTunes into the A+ 1.5 menu and r... | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? Or maybe contact Musical Sounds about there demo ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK II;http://www.musicalsounds.us/opbxspl.phpAnyhow, I would agree with Johnnyb53 that a better phono amp would deliver better results from the gear that you already have. | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Bdp24, I was told that the new Quad panels have a protective coating over the circuit board thus making them less prone to destruction. | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question Sbank, what's V2? Yes agreed, I use A+ as a stand alone player and my settings are perfect. | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? Sorry about jumping into this topic late. I have an ASR Mini Basis Exclusive phono amp and it made my Thorens TD 145/Grado ME + mono sing, which is really saying something. Now I'm waiting for a low output Grado Statement Sonata 1 mono and will pa... | |
| FLAC, WAV or AIFF question My understanding is that AIFF and WAV are the same when it comes to bit rate but between the two, the bits are just arranged differently. Therefore the sonic quality between WAV and AIFF is indiscernible.I use A+ 2.0 and I have WAV, AIFF and DSD f... | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks I agree Bgordonr and I've discovered that the panels are $500.00 each. I'm just hoping that it's one and not two or more. I'm still working on getting it up to the tech. | |
| Quad 2905 ESL Arcing Sparks Thanks Bdp24, I didn't know that MOFI now carried Quad Audio. Yes, these protection circuits are suppose to work and in the past it has but not this time. There's a repairman near Cleveland who may be able to do the repairs. And if they were still... |
