| Power Amp transformer hum - intermittent and increases and decreases in a few seconds This sounds like a mechanical vibration issue. Try this please. When the amp is on and humming lift it from the shelf so it is in you hands not touching the shelf.Is there a change? Next with it on the shelf put your hands on the amp and press on ... | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? Also consider the dealers dilemma.Besides knowing that even the best customers will shop price as well as selection, he is competing in both the real and virtual sales world.He accepts this and keeps the store open. So maybe he selects three speak... | |
| Wet carpet under system A concern you might consider is that as the carpet drys under the speakers moisture goes into the enclosures from the air...think humidity. This promotes an increase of oxidation on metal parts. The effect is increased where electricity moves acro... | |
| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? I own 948's luv them. Every day I listen I continue to be pleased with the sound. | |
| Filling speaker Stands? Lead is toxic, no need to use it. You can get steel ball bearings from many industrial suppliers at very low prices. stainless won't rust and is safe to handle and get rid of if u want to latter on. Some of the newer kitty litters are pretty dense... | |
| Focal Aria 926/936 I own the 948. Both in my room and experience and talking with Focal I started to adjust the Rake or tilt of the speakers. Depending on you sitting position and seat height I found this can make a substantial change in the sound presentation. Many... | |
| Schiit not shipping So in response to my request for a time update for my upgrade order: I’m sorry but we do not yet have the parts to produce more Gen 5 USB. The technology sector is currently booming, and some of the parts we require are in high demand. Parts s... | |
| Schiit not shipping I have been in line for an upgrade since Feb. They tell me the issue is getting the USB boards. Small companies rely on a supply chain of parts. However as this has extended one would think alternate sources could be found. They are not a very big... | |
| Balanced cables OMG I am old enough to know better than to jump into this lol but. After years of working in studios all I have to say is that none of the music ever recorded was done using anything but some form of Belden or equivalent type cable and connectors ... | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) Holly Cole. If you have never listened to the Trio's "Temptation" do so. "Girl Talk" is another of where her voice is so intimate as to make you think she is singing for you alone. | |
| I need some advise on a shipping disaster. Having been through this from both sides as seller and buyer; the shipping company will only deal with the shipper as he is the one who paid for the service and their contract is with him. As he accepted your money with the good faith promise to p... | |
| Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality? I have used many different cables from many companies. After over 55 years of audiophile fun and games I now use AWG10/type3-k tinned marine mains wire. Type 3 has greater strand count and k is for awg30 individual strand size. It can be had at re... | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 My Node2 is about 1.5 yrs. in my system. At that time I bought the Cambridge CXN and the Node since those were two I narrowed down to in my price range. After about a week both myself and my Golden Eared wife agreed that the we preferred the Node2... | |
| Suggestion on XLR Cables https://btpa.com/IC8402XLR-XX.html. Best sound I have found in an interconnect. They will make them with RCA using the same Belden cable also. I sold all my high price name brand wires and went to the Belden 8402 for ever interconnect. | |
| Looking for a good DAC under $500 I also have a BSN2. To be honest with you, save your money until you can get a Schiit-Gungnir or similar price range. That is what I did, though I waited and was patient to get a good deal on a used one. They come around but not often. I am about ... |
