2 subs connected to a 2 channel amp?
Greetings  Maybe an external crossover would solve your problem? As mentioned above the Dspesker 8033 is a great little unit for setting up subwoofers. Joe Nies  
Can I get more out of my Koetsu ?
Greetings  Be happy with what you have. There is always something better out there no matter how much you spend. But if you have the money it’s always nice to upgrade your equipment. Just make sure you have your TT cartridge setup properly. VTA,...

Any Oracle Delphi MK1 expert here? Motor problems...
Hello Edwin,  I payed around $400.00 for my PS but that was 40 years ago. I believe Oracle no longer uses dc motors. The Turbo PS I purchased for my MK 6 was around $2K. When you get your motor up and running properly, let me know if you have an...

Greetings  Sounds like you put a lot of time into your TT. Good for you. Experience is the best teacher. Is your motor the pancake type? ‘Since you have been in touch with Oracle, they are most helpful with any of your issues.  I only used the ...

Uneven sound comiing from my B&W DM630s
Yes old dirty worn out albums can be a problem. Please try and clean your albums. Look at your cartridge to see if you have gunk on the needle. Is the imbalance just on your old dirty albums? I’m a fanatic about cleaning my albums. I have albums ... 
Uneven sound comiing from my B&W DM630s
Greetings  Sounds like you have more than one problem. When you hooked up your CD player did you use the cable that is coming from your TT or did you use a different cable ? If you used the cable from your TT then one of your issues is the TT. Do... 
Does the length of the Cable matter?
Since your TT has a phono preamp built in, there is no problem going with a 15 foot cable. It’s a line level output from the phono preamp to your preamp line level input.  If cable was coming from TT (no phono preamp built in) to your preamp phono... 
Does the length of the Cable matter?
Yes it matters. Do to the low output of the TT. Phono cables are constructed differently than standard interconnects. The shorter the better. 1.5 meter length would be the max length to use and that length would be based on a very high quality cab... 
Hey, I'm looking for the highest quality recordings from the following Artists:
Try Better Records. They are kinda expensive but you get a very good sounding album. I have been very satisfied with the 20+ albums I’ve received from them. ‘They are not an investment. You probably could not sell them and get your money back but... 
Spectral DMA 200
Greetings  ‘As stated above, Spectral will not publish a wiring diagram. The owners manual only shows you Block diagrams. If you decide to work on it yourself, Spectral will probably not service it. It would be best to contact an audio dealer wh... 
Starting Point for Room Treatments?
Look at GIK Acoustics. I just found out about them a few weeks ago. Wish I found them sooner. Their devices are very reasonably priced. They will also help analyze your room.  I ordered 2 of their quad diffusers. Very good price and their shipping... 
Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K?
If you have the money go for it.  You can upgrade other components later. ‘There is always something better out there. Great deals don’t happen that often. Joe Nies
