| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping It happens with every record to one degree or another. On the quite passages (lead in groove, etc). That’s why I don’t think it’s a resonant thing. If there is no music how could resonance contribute that much to the pumping. I suppose the lead i... | |
| Sub Sonics and woofer pumping So I’m noticing that on the lead in grooves where there is no sound yet but the record is playing my woofer appears to “pump” exactly once on every revolution. Also the pumping is more pronounced at the beginning of the record vs the end. Could ha... | |
| 500 albums in a basement flood--worth saving? Tt1man,I live in Lafayette LA, so I feel for ya brotha. We barely dodged that evil thing. I don’t have advice for your records, but I hope the rest of your life gets put back together soon. | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 Mijo, I got the low output 1mv. The Nagaoka was 2.5mv and it was more than plenty, almost too much, so I went with the low output Grado. Works great from a volume aspect.Frogman,I will wait. It seems the prudent advice. | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 Not sure how I can adjust this. The unit is fixed at 47k. There are no toggles on the unit to adjust. It does come with some resistors to attach to the rca connector and ground, then you have to solder them in. But that appears to be for MC carts.... | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 Well that is certainly what Grado recommends | |
| Tweaking the new Grado Timbre Sonata 3 I have a kit from DB that is rca plugs with different loading values, I think up to 200 or 800 ohms, but it’s meant for MC carts, not MM. Would these even be worth a try? | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Ok guys. I’ve been sheltered up for the last day due to Laura - I’m about an hour and a half away Lake Charles. I’m very lucky after the last week, puts my problems of humming in perspective for sure. I will look into the latest suggestions once I... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Not sure it’s the cartridge honestly. The hum does not increase or decrease when you move the arm towards the spindle. It hums even with the the arm just sitting In the cradle and the motor isn’t even turned on. In fact the hum is constant and w... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre I did a bit of research in the RAM tubes and ordered the set. Yes the PH3se is a great phono and a keeper for me. I don’t know what it’s equal is today but it does sound great. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre I found some 8 foot rca’s and pulled the TT to the middle of the room. The hum was the same. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre I can run all the electronics through a 1000w isolation transformer and I can lift the ground to the transformer and I still get the hum with no noticeable hum reduction. I thought isolation transformers were supposed to eliminate ground issues. ... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre The turntable is two feet away from the other gear. I don’t know if this means anything but on the opposite side of the wall the TT is located is the kitchen, and more specifically the oven/range. It’s a gas range but modern so all electronically ... | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre I have done the ground wires to no avail. In fact I have run a ground wire from all the components and tried all kinds of combos. Nothing changes the hum.i have a Hum X cheater plug and that did nothing either. | |
| Getting him in my ARC PH3se phono pre Ok. I tried all Components from the same outlet to no avail. Still got the hum. However i think I’ve determined it’s tied to the cartridge - I think. It’s a brand new Grado Sonata 3 - Timbre series. Couple things - I know Grado’s are known for the... |
