| Copper Sleeve over IEC I tried this today. I had absolutely no expectations. First I put a copper sleeve on the power cord of my Linn Ikemi CDP. I did hear a difference. Highs and background sounds in the upper treble were more pronounced, but not for the better. Too ti... | |
| Tube amps under 1,800 for gallo 3.1's What are you using for a preamp? | |
| Totem Arro in larger room?? I had the Sttafs in a room about your size and they were great. Enjoy! | |
| Tube amps under 1,800 for gallo 3.1's I have had tubes with my Gallos. Highly modified Jolida 502b kt88 60 watts with a wide variety of tubes and cords, everything tweaked. 60 watts was plenty of power but the synergy just wasn't there. I am big fan of tube amps but with a few excepti... | |
| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? I have now been using a Wyred 4 Sound ST1000 and a Cary slp98 preamp with my Gallos for almost 2 months. I feel I can comment on this combination now having let everything settle in for a while. This is probably as neutral and detailed as my syst... | |
| How to connect sub to Cary SLP 98 preamp? I don't know why the addition of the Y adapter causes the L-R controls to operate both channels but if you use a stereo pair out from the Cary to the subs L-R inputs (which is why they are there) as opposed to the Y, I think the problem will go away. | |
| Dimple in speaker driver cone TVAD's hair dryer and vacuum suggestion is right on and has worked for me. You don't want to let the vacuum attatchment touch the cone. I would sugget you use the brush attatchment so there is some control over the amount of suction. | |
| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? Dopogue,Do you have the option to use either 4 or 8 ohm taps on that unit? and if so which do you use? | |
| Linn Ikemi owners It I listen very carefully I can hear a slight sound when switching tracks from the remote if moving multiples of tracks. There is no sound from the unit beyond that. If you go from 1 to 35 the laser has to move rapidly over 34 tracks. I wouldn't ... | |
| Linn Ikemi owners How far away from the unit can you hear the motor noise? | |
| What amp are you using with your Gallo 3.1's? Thanks for the input guys.Goatwuss,I too was surprised that the Mac wasn't a good match with the Gallo's. As far as high current amps are concerned, at low volumes does it have much impact on the music? I don't have any idea but it seems like it w... | |
| to mod or not to mod my new tube amp????? Underwood HIFI has an ad for a Jolida 502b right now. It reads in part: "We can also order the amp(502b)set up for EL-34 tubes. In this configuration it does 50 watts per channel and has the warmer more liquid sonics of the EL-34 while sacrificing... | |
| lightweight power cable for a linn 1.1 cd player I have a Linn Ikemi and have found very little difference in the sound of after market power cords. I had a Purist Audio rev.b on it, yes it was very difficult to keep it from dragging the Ikemi off of the shelf! There was not an improvement with ... | |
| How should I upgrade my Jolida 302B? Response audio has been selling and modifying Jolida for a long time. I currently have one of his 502b-rc amps with platinum upgrades. It is an excellent value and the sound is just great. Fast, detailed, great bass, and the midrange is sublime. I... | |
| Are contact treatments worth the money? Another vote for Walker SST and detoxit. I use them both on every connection. I also had a low voltage light fixture with bulbs that have two small pins. They would regularly stop working and when unplugged the pins looked burned and pitted as if ... |
