| Getting Crackling Noise From My Speakers Hi Jennifer I just dealt with a similar issue, crackling coming from both speakers. Swapped out a bunch of tubes didn’t help. I started to think it sounded a bit like RFI. I had recently moved my modem/router to my listening/living room. I turned ... | |
| Anybody know what happened at JOB... The message clearly says they are closed and production has stopped not sure why you're surprised there is no production? And they say repairs will be available not upgrades or modifications. Honestly I am surprised they were around as long as the... | |
| Yamaha CX-A5200 - Connect a tape deck? You can connect the tape deck to any high level input on your Yamaha for playback. In terms of a tape loop are you planning to do a lot of recording? If not don't worry about it. | |
| Wow! Hard to believe how Good this sounds! I agree its always a great thing to come home from a vacation or any trip and plop down in front of the stereo for the first time! | |
| Impact of phase inversion by preamp I wish I had a phase reversal switch on my preamp so many recordings vary in terms of correct or inverted phase. | |
| Very small room systems and synergy You say you're not getting enough bass and you're using speakers that go down to 47hz 6db down. Personally I agree on the subject of metal dome tweeters give me a soft dome any day. But what you need are either bigger speakers with better bass res... | |
| Have I gotten complacent? @zavato I'm with you I've had my amp and preamp both over 10 years now, my speakers and dac both over two years now. Other than replacing a few tubes here and there I am pretty much done. Oh and my dac is out getting a cap upgrade, though I've ha... | |
| VTL amplifier Tube brand The VTL site says 6550 or KT88 for each amp so presumably the customer can choose at the point of purchase. | |
| Looking for advice on buying new discontinued music server - would you do it? If no longer supported with software updates I would say no, if they are still supported I would say yes if its a good deal. | |
| GIK Acoustics summer contest! My vote is in good luck Mike! | |
| Audio Note Kit 1 Upgrade Or New Dac I am currently listening to an AN Kits Dac1.1 given to me as a loaner while my dealer upgrades the caps in my AN UK Dac. I think it sounds excellent and I can imagine that you are very happy with the sound you're getting. An upgrade to the output ... | |
| Which reviewers and review sites are the ost reliable? I’ve gotten to really enjoy the reviews of Christian Punter at HifiAdvice.com I just like his writing style and the thoroughness of his reviews. However I read reviews strictly for entertainment these days. | |
| Interconnect recomendations, ~$500 new or used, RCA... In that price range look for used Auditorium23 cables a fantastic sounding copper cable. I use a pair between my preamp and amp. | |
| Replacing components, Please weigh in! I would agree that receiver is very much the weak link in your system. But good news your speakers are very easy to drive which opens up a world of choices tube and SS. Are you able to get out and listen to anything? Don't get too caught up in spe... | |
| Is there any Streamer/DAC/Preamp good enough to replace a dedicated standalone preamp? I think that even combining a Streamer and Dac is a compromise. Also adding preamp functionality would be a further compromise. Also you have a pretty great preamp to find a combined unit that's as good a preamp as your Act2 would be next to impos... |
