| ARC LS25 mkII adjustment Gmuffley,R10 and R11? Or the 1k trimmer itself? I guess I can measure the voltage drop at RV1 and see if the 2 channels are similar. | |
| ARC LS25 mkII adjustment I know someone did swap and adjust the amp. I was told it was John Rutan at Audio Connection. I do want to confirm it is all good. | |
| ARC VS60 bias The transformer on the VS60 buzzes a bit. And the amp puts out a small amount of hum to the speaker. How can I get rid of these noise? | |
| ARC LS25 mkII adjustment Gmuffley,I see. Do you know what to look for to confirm the trimmers are set up correctly? I am the 2nd owner of this preamp and want to make sure everything is set up right. I suppose you are to measure at some point on the board and use the trim... | |
| ARC VS60 bias I went with 60 ma. The music sounds better to me at 60ma as well.I called ARC. The guy I talked to did not know that VS60 was lowered to 60ma and had to consult a manual. I guess all the older 6550 amps were set to 65ma. So I guess ARC is still se... | |
| Revox cassette decks I'd spend the money on getting the 682zx overhauled to factory spec. The 682zx allows you to adjust bias and have auto adjust for azimuth and rec level. Any decent tape should sound great on this deck pretty much. Don't use bad tapes however. | |
| Azimuth and the Fozgometer If with Fosgate, all you are doing is balancing the crosstalk between L and R, then I think it is not worth it.You need to take into account the difference in output between L and R on a cartridge.I setup a Grado The Statement by eye (which is the... | |
| Fozgometer? I think phase angle has to be considered as well, no? Cartridges are rarely equal in output so I think you need to know the output difference to really have an effective method to measure azimuth by crosstalk level. The method of equaling crosstal... | |
| getting azimuth right I was asking Stltrains as he mentioned he used a fozgometer. I am wondering what that tool measures? crosstalk? | |
| getting azimuth right What does the fozgometer measure? Are you going for equal crosstalk level? The fact is cartridges show a level difference between L and R. Adjusting azimuth for equal crosstalk is not a useful and accurate method. | |
| getting azimuth right What cartridge is this? Unfortunately, the stylus is not always straight against the cartridge body. I use my eyes and ears the best I can. I also use Feickert's Adjust+ Pro just to see what numbers show up. In the end, I use my ears. | |
| 804Ds and bass performance I auditioned a pair of 803Ds and did not like them. I do like the Focal 1027 Be and find it a very accurate pair for my room. | |
| What can you tell me about a Thorens TD 318 MK3? Was it packed well? That is a shame. I have a TD 316 and it still sounds good to me. Although my main table is now the VPI HR-X. | |
| Tried the Grado Statement1? It replaced a Grado Sonata | |
| Tried the Grado Statement1? I have and am very pleased with it. I use it with the Sutherland PhD. I haven't compared it to a XV-1S but for me, the urge to upgrade is gone with my Statement. |
