| More turntable set up problems Holly, I wished I lived closer to Denver. Actually, LA would be better, it's too damn cold here in Philadelphia. LOL!!Well I hate to say it, but since tubes and cartridges wear out, they will be your most likely causes of your problem. The only ho... | |
| Right angle IEC power cable You will have a very hard time finding power cords with right angle IEC plugs. Perhaps your best bet is to use an adapter that will help any regular cord fit your ML gear. Good luck. | |
| More turntable set up problems Holly, I am assuming that you re-checked all of your setup parameters as well. First try swapping out the phono stage to eliminate that possibility, since you say that you can. I have heard reports about Teres poor customer service, which is a sha... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Bruce, sorry for the confusion, but I don't think that using the tape outputs of the CJ into the tape inputs of the Arcam will work. After looking at the rear panel of your Arcam AVR300 in the manual, it looks like your Arcam has only one 7.1 anal... | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm 12-15-13: Bpowers23The prepro controls the volume. That's it. It's out of the way. I would disagree with that statement. I gave up on trying to listen to music through a SSP and multi-channel amps over a decade ago. I tried many big name brands li... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp 12-14-13: Denon53John, I'm sorry if I'm seeming a bit dense, are you saying to use the "tape out" on the CJ Classic and use the "tape in" monitor on the Arcam which is also "stereo direct"? Yes.12-15-13: Denon53OK, after inspecting the backside of... | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm 12-14-13: Bpowers23Overall, the system is excellent, but I think my table, though solid, is now the weakest link.I don't know that I agree with you there. I wouldn't bother running a nice $7K table/arm like the Basis I recommended through a Pre-Pr... | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp Well I didn't mention the CJ Classic in my last post when I mentioned the CJ ET-3, amongst others, because the Classic does not have a HT bypass. However, as I said earlier, you could always use a tape output to use as a HT bypass as well. The CJ ... | |
| $7K to spend on new turntable + arm Personally, if I had that kind of dough to sling around, I go after this Basis 2200 Signature Turntable - Vector 4 tonearm combo. I've owned both Basis and VPI tables, and for $7K you can do better than VPI. Happy hunting.PS: I have no relationshi... | |
| More turntable set up problems Mofimadness is right, if you haven't used it in quite a while the cartridge's suspension may have dried out. This happened to a ZYX cartridge that I owned for a few years, and I don't know that you can do anything about that.However, I would also ... | |
| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H That sucks! From my experiences, tubes can be the fussiest in the phono stage because they are amplifying a very small (weak) signal. I love tubes, but my favorite phono preamp of all was a solid state design, a Klyne 7PX5.0. Maybe you would be be... | |
| The future of preamps 12-13-13: Audiolabyrinth@ Atmasphere, Hi, your name would not happen to be Ralph would it?, Are you in relation to the atmas-phere audio company?LOL! Yes, Keith, meet Ralph Karsten, Founder and Owner of Atma-Sphere music systems. | |
| The future of preamps +1 Grannyring, Vicdamone, Charles1dad, and Swampwalker. LOL!! | |
| Warm, Smooth yet Transparent Amp 12-11-13: Denon53 John, I know relatively nothing about tubes or brands. Can you suggest a decent tube preamp with the HT bypass? Well you didn't give me a price range, so I'll just assume the $1200 that you were trying to stick to for the amp. I ... | |
| Mono amps and different length speaker cables I doubt you will notice a difference, but why would you do that? Does that mean that you will have to buy a 2 meter pair AND a 3 meter pair of the same speaker cables, then only use half of each pair? It makes no sense to me, but to answer your qu... |
