| Buzzing just won't quit: Can someone please help? I installed the Nordost QKore6 grounding system along with a Nordost QBase8 into my system and the noise went away. It sounds like a ground issue, but I'm not an electrician.Did this noise just appear or have you been dealing with it since day 1? | |
| koetsu lewm, I'm not too worried about 1Hz really, I'm using the HiFi News Analogue Test LP to measure resonant frequency. I'm not hearing any issues what so ever, what I hear is making me very happy with my choice.dancekerl, good luck with your decisi... | |
| koetsu I'm using the HiFi News Analogue Test LP to measure resonant frequency: side 2, track 2. If you are curious to see how your setup measures. It's an audible/visual test.I have an Audio-technica AT-LH 18, 18 gram head shell coming in soon, I will ... | |
| koetsu I'm using the tonearm that came with my Technics SL1210MG5 with a KAB fluid damper attached. I've loaded the tonearm with mass so that I've achieved a resonant frequency of 11Hz which helped quite a bit with tracking and better bass. Tracking fo... | |
| koetsu Hi Karl...I can't believe it will get better... | |
| koetsu I don't have much experience with Koetsu, but I can report my RSP is breaking in VERY nicely. I took a leap of faith and I'm very happy. Out of the box, it sounded very similar to my previous cartridge (Clearaudio Maestro MM). I'm about 20 hour... | |
| Turntable and Rack vibration control Symposium is working wonders on my system. I just put the KAB regulated power supply up on Rollerblock Jr sitting on top of a Svelte shelf. For me, I heard more depth and decays have smoothed out. | |
| Lowthers and subwoofers? Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences. I'm expecting my Lowther speakers to arrive in late August. Not sure what to expect, but I wanted to hear what others have experienced. | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? One more point I have to make, once in a while a high end expensive component hits the market and raises the bar for the competition, the Zanden DAC was one of them IMHO. There are other tube DACs out there for sure, some of them probably very ver... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? I've seen them come and go on here, the pre-Signature models (mark 1,2,3,4) I think go for under 5k, and the Signature model seems to go anywhere above 7k (i think).As for a HiRez DAC, I'm not sure, I have an RME (Pro Audio) Firewire DAC that soun... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? If you want to take a Zanden to the next level, try a digital clock, that will improve the sound considerably making it sound more coherent.Some users report no difference in sound when trying a digital clock, I suspect the DAC in question has som... | |
| What's the best Tube DAC you have heard? When I got a Zanden DAC, I stopped thinking about it. Before owning the Zanden, I had a 47 labs Flatfish/Progression with various tweaks. Before owning the 47 Labs, I owned a Audio Research CD-3.Before purchasing the CD-3, I had listened to the Ma... | |
| Cables that cost more than good loudspeakers One way to view this topic is to break it down into 2 categories:1. Passive equalization - one cable may emphasize bass more than another, etc etc.2. Resolution access - no change in frequency response (or perception), instead noise floor is dropp... | |
| LAMM LL2 vs. Hovland preamp The Hovland gear sure looks pretty, but every time I auditioned Hovland it was underwhelming. I heard the Saphire amp with their original preamp/phono stage and it did not leave me with any desire to pursue Hovland.On the other hand, when I heard ... | |
