| How much hum is normal from a new tube amp Transformer connected to the AC line with the wrong polarity. Send it back to the builder. | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers Altec 19's or JBL 300's bought on the used market will kill any Klipsch speaker! | |
| Are Sales Down These are just anecdotal responses! Let's have some hard data from Audiogon, USAM, EBay ... that's the only way to tell. | |
| Leaving my amplifier on ok? @pmm +1! If Class AB they can run 24/7. Power supply caps will stay warm and nicely formed. Class A amps that run hot should be turned off when unused. | |
| Better Records vs MoFi Clever marketing can turn a $2 Goodwill LP into a $600 White Hot Stamper! The gold rush is on! | |
| Better Records vs MoFi "White Hot Stampers $600-900" - just the thing for new dot.com millionaires to play on their new $60K Linn Sondek 50th Anniversary TT's. | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? @lefever : there was a 25/25 for sale on eBay several weeks ago for $3K. | |
| SET Lovers, what's the one solid state amp you love(d)? @lefever : you might contact Will Vincent (autospec) in Idaho. He knew the Bedini brothers. Will builds tube amps and might have knowledge/experience repairing the 25/25. Mine alas is no longer working after I ran it 24/7 for nine years with the Q... | |
| Furutech DeMaga v Acoustic Revive RL-30 Mk III LP Demanitizers LP's do not have or accumulate magnetic charge. Another bogus product to entice the gullible! | |
| It this a decent Phono setup? Sell the Denon. Get a Technics SL1500 TT ($1800) and a Hana SL mc cartridge ($750). Way better sound quality than your present setup. | |
| DAC UPGRADE QUESTION Topping D90 for under $1K would be a good recommendation. Spending multiples more for a DAC and hoping for a somehow "better" sound is a pipe-dream. Let the rock-throwing by the "golden ears" crowd begin! | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? The X1100ES also has left and right audio RCA's. Why not try them instead of your DAC? Have someone make the switch into your amp so you don't have sighted bias. Listen over a few days. The result might surprise you! | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? That HDMI marked "audio" may be for a hi-rez audio signal from a streaming source. That player appears to be capable of streaming! | |
| Is my HDMI audio out really an i2s connection? I looked at the back. It has a digital coax plus a toslink optical output. Also two HDMI outputs - one marked "audio". I say use either coax or toslink into your DAC. | |
| How tall do you like your images? Worst speakers for image height are the Klipsch Heresy's. I am glad I sold my pair! |
