| MM cartridge comparable to a Benz L2 I don't have any suggestions except, I wonder if there are any newer high output moving coils out there that would work. That may help with your hum issue,whatever the cause is.Years back, a lot of people thought the Sumiko Blue Point(HO), was a b... | |
| loading resistor question So if you play first with carbon types, plan to measure them with an ohmmeter before inserting them, so you know for sure what you are hearing. And too, a carbon resistor will have colorations that will go away when you substitute a Vishay or a ta... | |
| loading resistor question I would use plain old carbon resisters until you find the best value. Once that is achieved, I would think a wire wound may be the best, or one of the best. | |
| Telefunken 6AS7 I'm thinking the same way as Albertporter. I can't ever remember hearing of them actually making one. Atma-Sphere may know. Also whether the tube says Made in Germany on it might give you a better idea. | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? Standby switches could be for different reasons. On a remote controlled unit such as a CD player, remote preamp, a standby switch may shut the remote receiver section of the unit off, that is normally needed to receive the remotes signal. On a lot... | |
| Do you leave your components on 24/7? My gear seems to sound great after 20-30 minutes. This includes tube and solid state. None of my gear sounds bad enough so I can't enjoy it while it's warming up. | |
| What's better out from CD player: coax or optical? For anything tied to A TV, you might do better with optical. In audio it was coax, but is now best to go by ear in your system. I still prefer coax in my main audio only system. Newer DAC's are closing the gap it seems since some do better with th... | |

| Phono Cable "breakout" I wonder how many companies do use basically the same cables for phono in just a different box or packaging not to loose sales. If they work great already, why change them. Here is an example of what I mean. Top of page ad.[http://buy.audiogon.com... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics I think like someone mentioned above, Alan Shaw says that so he doesn't loose sales to other companies also. I don't blame him either. Those people may buy another brand, because someone selling XYZ brand says you could use mid-fi gear with their ... | |
| Phono Cable "breakout" Since audio began, we didn't have cables labeled for phono until recent years that I knew of, or at least payed any attention to them. I've tried some that friends loaned to me since they're always trying something new. My regular cables seems to ... | |
| what speakers demand high end electronics I shop for a speaker that I like the sound of first. All speakers have coloration's that make them all sound quite different from each other. This includes speakers that may look similar as far as measurements go. When I have a good/great speaker ... | |
| Phono Cable "breakout" You need to try some different ones first. For phono, they do need to be shielded better in a lot of cases. RF from radio stations, AC hum, could leak into some. I don't use the braided/interweave type for phono. That design seems to have some hum... | |
