| here is my delima............ Sounds like you've spendt plenty of money, to no avail. I would upgrade your house power to 200 amps, and provide dedicated circuits to your audio system.That stands out from your description of the symptoms you are having. You may also be having ... | |
| +1 Radio Shack I've given them every opportunity to make it right, I think most complaints wind up the same "ignore it file", and that's where it stays. It still irks me, they got my money, but I don't have my product. It's just not right! | |
| +1 Radio Shack You're lucky to get anything but ripped-off from Welborne Labs. About a year ago, I ordered over $100 worth of wire, and have never received it. At first, they answered with some lame excuses, and then, just ignored my messages.A Pox an Welborne L... | |
| Heavy-weight Clamp with Thorens idler-drive I've been wondering the same thing with my Garrard 401. I also have a TTW copper mat, which adds another pound or two.I don't notice any difference in start up speed, it's up to speed in about 1/2 evolution. I haven't gotten around to checking bea... | |
| Conrad Jodnson PREMIER 12 I agree with Pdreher. When I had my 5.4's they worked their best with 300 Solid State watts per channel.On the other hand, the person that bought those speakers from me, was using a relatively low-powered Audio Research tube amp, with good results... | |
| Audio Aero Prima 24-bit/192kHz Should I fix it? You didn't mention who performed the mods on your player. I sure hope they knew what they were doing. What they did sounds a bit extreme to me.About the transport, I purchased a new transport from partstore.com, for my ailing McIntosh MVP 871, for... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Kiddman, thak you for your kind comments. For me, Tannoys, at least of the time-tested Dual Concentric variety, are not known for their ability to reproduce the fine detail of some of the mega-buck speakers, such as Magico and Wilson, they just ma... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE While monetarily not in the same league as most of the posters on this thread, I have achieved, for far less of an investment, the kind of performance provided by Tannoys.Alnico drivers, pepperpot high frequency drivers, and hard edge surrounds, a... | |
| When a Reviewer "likes" something Go one-on-one with with a highly qualified independant tech (the one I use has 50 years in the game), and you will lose respect for nearly the entire industry.$40,000+ amps, that due to their design, blow their transformers on a regular basis, and... | |
| What's a properly lit 6SN7 tube look like? Thanks for the responses. All tube are firmly seated in their sockets. (This is not my first tube amp, nor is it the only one I have currently).The tube in question is a Russian Tung-Sol. Only the top glows faintly. I have purchased all new tubes ... | |
| What's a properly lit 6SN7 tube look like? That's exactly what I needed to hear, thank you Brownsfan! Got a new one on the way, hopefully, that will do it.Best regards,Dan | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello all,I just read Raul's asessment of the Acutex M315 cartridge, and it made me realize how grateful I am to have snared an M320 LPM III STR.I was able to learn more of it's capabilities, when I refined the set-up parameters of the M415 STR. T... | |
| Sub cable: Syn R. v Tara L v Nord. v A.Metallurgy Never having a subwoofer-specific cable, I can't adivse on that. All I know is I like the way my system sounds with the AG-O ic's feeding my power amp. I have used Synergistic Research Kalidescope for that purpose as well, and experienced no diffe... | |
| New preamp experience Very nice setup, Markus. I've envied, for some time now, the Frakenstein monos, and that Volvere is a thing of beauty!Congratulations, enjoy,Dan | |
| Sub cable: Syn R. v Tara L v Nord. v A.Metallurgy I currently use Audio Metallurgy from my line stage to my power amp, and I find them just as good as any other cables in my system, most being Synergistic Research.If Audio Metallurgy makes a subwoofer cable, I wouldn't hesitate to use one.Regards... |
