| sophia 845 markIII and cary 211M AE I agree with Brf. I wonder why they can claim that this is RCA standard while the max plate dissipation is only 75W vs. 100W. This could be the reason why these Sophia tubes didnt work in the OP 's amps? I too own a pair of Cary 211AE , love them,... | |
| KAB Rumble filter gets preamp to overload/distort? No..the KAB is connected between the phonostage and the preamp. Kevin @ KAB emailed me and said a MM cartridge with a 5mV output and 55dB gain could overload the KAB filter. The Clearaudio Maestro has an output of 3.6mV but I guess this could happ... | |
| Wadia iTransport and Classic iPod's EQ setting I just got back an email from Wadia, and they said that the EQ was done before the DAC, and only volume and balance is after the DAC that's why the volume doesnt have any effect. They suggest to leave the iPod's EQ in OFF position. | |
| Playstation 3 + DSD disc + HDMI = Hi Rez sound?? I read that other players might convert DSD to 24bit/176.4khz, but the PS3 pass DSD in its native form (wikipedia)Plus, my Pioneer AV receiver listed that it supports "SACD and DVD-A transfer via HDMI".Could this coincidently accounts for the good... | |
| having 24/192 WAV files and 24/192 capable DAC Has anyone used the Tascam DV-RA1000HD ? It looks very promising..I wonder if it can output 24/192 via its coaxial?http://www.tascam.com/products/dv-ra1000hd.html | |
| having 24/192 WAV files and 24/192 capable DAC Please correct me if I am wrong..i started out with digital music with an affordable Music Hall 25.2 DAC that has coax, optical, USB and ASB input. Through exchanging emails with Music Hall, they said all input except USB can accept and process 24... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hello Goatwuss,I'm glad that you 've come to that conclusion. As with what we corresponded through email, if we have carefully set up the combo (put together with educated guess of which might mate well with what) and it doesn't work after readjus... | |
| Graham Phantom II + Dynavector XV1's need help Sbrown: I'm pretty sure that the inner groove corresponds to the L channel, not the other way around.Tilting the arm left and right adjusts Azimuth and this is used to optimize Channel Crosstalk, NOT channel imbalance which Smoffatt is experiencin... | |
| Graham Phantom II + Dynavector XV1's need help Oh boy!Are your phonostage, preamp and amp SS or Tube?I have encountered this before (search my post here and on audioasylum) and it took me a great deal of time (and money) to solve it, but it could be as simple as replacing a tube in my preamp.I... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I have listened to your tracks over and over, and beside distorted sibilance, i THINK the midrange (voices) sounds a tad harsh/brittle/distorted at times, like inner-groove distortion (since I dont have a copy of this on hand, I dont know if the o... | |
| Wadia 170i transport experience? Music Hall DAC 25.2 if you dont want to spend too much on a DAC. It's a tube DAC with 4 digital inputs. | |
| Difference between ZYX 4D and ATMOS One thing for sure: I was tempted to try ZYX out after i'm done with a MM fever (namely with Clearaudio Maestro, Stanton 981 LZS, Nagaoka MP-500) , but with this economy and the new, higher prices across the ZYX lineup, i dont even have the urge t... | |
| Difference between ZYX 4D and ATMOS Dang..I thought this is a place where we - end users - can really voice our opinions and share our own experience about products / companies with each other. I find this much more reliable than reading "professional reviews". I cant believe that t... | |
| anyone use ikea for lp racks? I use this one for about 3 years..it's totally fine..but takes a while to put them together. | |
| phase correction for records? I think , please educate me if i am wrong, phases (invert or non-invert) are not responsible for the size of soundstage. The soundstage of a recording depends on how that particular recording was made (recorded, mixed, processed and mastered) and ... |
