| Recommendations for a phono amp You might want to consider Ron Sutherland's latest offering, the $895 KC Vibe with 48 volt outboard power supply. It has loading and gain adjustments. It may, however, not be a good choice for very low output moving coils. | |
| Tubes I have had and am having great luck with the Genalex Gold Lions. I'm using Cryoset (cryogenically treated) 12AU7s in my line stage and a Cryoset Gold Lion GZ34 as the rectifier in my SACD outboard power supply. They sound great and they last.😀 | |
| Wrong way to clean a stylus! @parrotbee Vaguely. If I'm thinking of the same thing as you, wasn't it a green abrasive paper to clean the stylus??? | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? @andysf What? Must be some humor there but I must be too tired to appreciate it...big day entertaining relatives. 😳 | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? You should check out ali express for CDs and SACDs. Some great discs to be had at super prices. Many discs they offer there I have been unable to find elsewhere! | |
| Equalization With limited exceptions, having tone controls/eq in the circuit is thought to cause a degree of corruption to the signal that takes the system a step away from the realism that is the end goal of a high end audio system. | |
| What music or equipment gifts did you get for Christmas this year? My daughter bought me a 2 CD set of Hans Zimmer's "Live in Prague" album. The first CD will not play no matter what I do. Can't see any nasty scratches that might account for my player's inability to read the disc. Oh well. Back to Amazon it s... | |
| My first post Greetings Ponchit. If you can do what randy-11 asked above that would help us to know where you're at in the audiodom adventure.When you have time, posting your system in the "Virtual Systems" on A'gon would be awesome. | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING @stfoth Can't respond about hearing an audible impact. The only time I've experienced multiple speaker pairs in the same room is at a dealer's and they are not usually interested in moving other speakers out of the room to accommodate to a custo... | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT No. The Quatro's set up is more complex because of the built-in powered subwoofers requiring the equalizer controls to be set according to the bass response in the space the Quatro's occupy. | |
| Best course of action @phastrone OK. The options for using the Vandersteen 2wq with your integrated amp wouldn't be practical with so many different sources. Good luck! | |
| HOW TO POSITION 2 PAIRS OF SPEAKER FOR ALTERNATE LISTENING @rbstehno +1 The effect will be a slight "smearing" of the sound of the speakers that are playing. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT Listening to my Treo CTs with two 2wq subwoofers right now. Music sounds like music through them. No electronic artifacts to ruin the illusion of live music that is often present with good recordings. I've been listening through RV's speakers f... | |
| Best course of action @phastrone How many sources (cd, LP etc.) would you be using in your system? | |
| Lowering the noise floor My system actually exhibits a lower noise floor now after adding tubes to the system. Originally I had only two 12AU7s in my line stage and all was well. After having my SACD player modified by Dan Wright and company, which added two 5687s and a ... |
