| Best way to spend my money The 15 footer is carrying high level signal from the Goldnote, the way I read it. Anyway the Goldnote and Pass are both balanced so you ought to be using a 15 foot balanced cable between them with XLR termination. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System A place to look for a possible problem regarding the dropout you get when you wiggle the R channel input is inside the chassis where there should be a wire soldered to the RCA jack or actually two wires, one to the hot and one to the ground pin on... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System No. Where did you place the leads? In other words, these resistances were measured between where and where? | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System So you proved now that the problem is upstream from the distal end of the DHL cable. Not the cable itself. | |
| Impedance Loading for SS Hyperion For the record, SS says the inductance of the Hyperion is 2.75 mH, about 100X to 1000X higher than a typical very LOMC. And about 200X lower than a typical MM. | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System When you swapped L and R cables in the first experiment, did you swap at both ends or only at one end? | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System Tiny tonearm wires have to make a right angle turn at the pivot. Check there’s no binding there. Also if the lift mechanism is set very close to the arm tube, it can interfere with travel across the LP. That’s easy to detect once you know to look ... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Ralph (Atma), thanks for the clear explanation of AES48. Your statement that the XLR inputs on the TEAC offer only MC gain levels makes sense but the owners manual never actually says as much, or maybe I have to re-read it. The device does have se... | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System On the issue of mistracking, I assume you’ve checked VTF. What VTF gauge do you use and where are you with respect to the recommended VTF range of values? | |
| Help me Identify Electrical Noise/Distortion in my System You may have a noisy attenuator on the R channel, except you say streaming is distortion-free. When streaming do you attenuate at the digital device or do you use the Sim attenuator? | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? Funnily enough, I just found a good website that talks about AES48. (To read the actual original language, you have to pay AES for the text.). Here. | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? In gear that really does offer both a SE and a separate balanced input, the gain claimed by the manufacturer is usually quoted as being different for the two types of input, with the balanced circuit gain being higher. Why is that or is it a fals... | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? Probably someone else built the Connoisseur for Lyra, and their relationship broke down, which was the real reason for discontinuing. Thus are legends born. | |
| Yamaha HX-10000 phonostage, any views? I built a pair of Williamson type amplifiers with Acrosound OPTs, using MV rectifiers, simply because I like their "sound". I don't use the amps any more and was thinking of disassembling them to sell the Acrosound OPTs, but I don't know what to ... | |
| which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup? The words you quote in italics are of course correct but have nothing whatever to do with the PE505 specifically and prove nothing. However, I finally found the owners manual on line. It is very dumbed down, but if you look at the diagrams on the... |
