| Sudden, strange Accuphase FM tuner behavior The signal of the only other station I listen to, whose transmitter is close to the other one, is much higher and closer to normal. I emailed the radio station and they said that they have not changed their power. I'm stumped here. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw,Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but why not do that with no LP on the platter? This way you are lining the spindle up with a precision machined surface (the platter). Vinyl is far from precise with all the warps and what-not. The stylus does ... | |
| Walker Procession turntable Thanks for the heads up. I always like to see Lloyd's products. Non-air bearing, belt driven, pivoted arm with optional remote VTA/SRA and Delrin platter. $45,000 with remote, $38,000 without.https://walkeraudio.com/procession-turntable/ | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who helped out with this problem. I retensioned the tube sockets which were definitely in need of help. The tubes are now very hard to push in and pull out. I would say that it takes about 2-3 times more for... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt,Another problem with your method is that, because the post adjustment has three screws, when you are "leveling" the tonearm as you do, you are also messing with how vertical the post is. It should be perpendicular with the TT platter when v... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt,What you want to do is put a straight edge on top of your platter, parallel with the tonearm spindle. Then, adjust the tonearm so the spindle is perfectly parallel with the straight edge. Just use your eyes. You may have to play with the li... | |
| Porter Ports or Cabledyne Cryo Hubbell 5362 Which outlet grips the power cord better between the Porter Ports and the 5362? The Porter Ports are supposed to have hospital grade contacts and the 5362 is industrial grade, so there might be a difference. Can anyone who has both do a quick test? | |
| audiphile power cords Thanks Al. I'm aware of the dangers of using solid core wire for power cords, but you bring up a good point. There are (or at least were) some aftermarket companies that make solid core power cords. I assume they are not UL listed and could result... | |
| audiphile power cords Romex wiring found in many buildings actually works quite well. So it really becomes all about that last few feet and also how well the power cord is terminated- molded cords generally are not terminated very well.Ralph (Atmasphere),Are you saying... | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? Update- I hooked up the Maggies last night and played the system for about 3 hours. It sounded great. The cold, hard, brightness was gone and the soundstage was deep and wide. The system was turned off last night. When I came home from work today,... | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? It sure did go south quickly, huh? | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? Lol. Nice one Viridian. | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? Viridian, I thought about retensioning the sockets, but didn't. Maybe I will get back in there and do it. I'm not really sure if the problem is solved yet. Some more usage to make sure the amplifier does not shut down and finally hooking the Maggi... | |
| Weird problem. Bad tube or something else? Yes, I cleaned the 7308 pins before putting them in for the first time. I should have mentioned that.I just measured the pins on the 7308s and the 6922s. All were about 0.038" - 0.039" in diameter. The pins on the 7308s were more consistent in dia... | |
| DIY Stereo Rack Here's mine. I used maple with stainless steel tube and threaded rod for the uprights. The tubes are filled with sand and are totally dead. This is not for everyone as the construction required a good deal of machining (this could never be built w... |
