| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Ok Jtinn, some progress. I lifted the ground on the vk60 with a cheater plug. No change. Used a extension cord and plugged into a different circuit, with/with out cheater plug. No change. On a whim, I pulled the interconnects from preamp to amp. H... | |
| Rhea set-up Michael Fremmer did a pretty big review a few years ago, try looking it up on the stereophile website or sending him a note....he is still using it according to his equip. reviews... | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Thanks everyone for your advice. I did recently add video equipment. I'll start unplugging that first, then moving the cords around, I do have everything at 90 degree angles and about inch away from each other. If that doesn't do it, sounds like i... | |
| hum in system, ground loon? 60hz? Thanks Paulwp, I have a Bat VK50SE and a Bat VK60. Electraglide AC cords and Transparent and cardas interconnects. Hum occurs with any source. It's not very loud and doesn't change with volume control. I can't hear it from my listening position, b... | |
| Krell Kav300i for Audio Physic Virgo? I can't comment on the Krell, but I have had a Bat vk200 and currently a bat vk60. Both are awesome with the virgo's. | |
| ? about going balanced from pre to power The only thing you should notice is maybe your volume control will be at a slightly different setting. Regarding noise, balanced runs usually reduce noise by cancelling it out. You should have slightly better sound, not worse. | |
| Ensemble power porducts: a surprise I've heard from others out here that some equipment matches up better to certain power conditions. My Bat equipment in my systems sounds better to me with a Cinepro 20 balanced transformer than the p600. Maybe that's what you are hearing as well... | |
| Need Help with System Michael Fremer in Stereophile just recently talked about the Origin mod the your Rega 300 arm. He loved it. You can also add a new counterweight that helps. I'm using a Rega 25, rb600 arm and Lyra Lydian cartridge all about 2k in a top of the line... | |
| Proceed, Aragon, Levinson, or other? Classe makes some good amps...should match up well with what you have ... | |
| Wadia 850 Digital Volume Setting? I used to have a Wadia 850. The volume control settings are pretty easy to change. All you have to do and take the cover off (w/the unit unplugged) and move some dip switches around. It will make a difference. You might email Wadia to get the dip ... | |
| Chang lightspeed VS ESP powerdistributor I'll have to disagree completely with Stevemj. They make a big difference. Sorry, I can't comment on the chang vs esp. But I do have a Cinepro and it does wonders for my system. Powercords make a big impact as well... | |
| Wadia with or without a preamp ? Well my turn. I had a 850 direct into a Bat vk200. Great. Then bought a vk50se preamp. Much better. Not cost effective, but nothing is in the hobby! | |
| Phono stage--please help If you have balanced inputs on your preamp, the BAT phono stages are very good...you can get a vkp5 for around 1000-1200... | |
| I need TT Help: Please advise Ok, if it's a planar 2 with old arm, a Planar 25 will amaze you at the difference. Keep your cartrdige, try a better table...IMHO. I bought my 25 for under 1200 new from Music Direct. I've seen a few on Audiogon for under 1000. Good luck... | |
| I need TT Help: Please advise The Planar 9 is a great table. You might try getting the current arm and make sure the cartridge is installed correctly. I have a planar 25 (which is a step below yours) in a 40K system and I love it.Also, maybe you don't like the grado sound, try... |
