| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. Vindanpar, I don't think that you should conclude the situation is hopeless. Are the two units plugged into the same electrical output or into different outlets? Make sure they are plugged into the same outlet. Also, try using a cheater plug to... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. I have long wondered about the philosophy behind marketing the HA3000 as an add-on to the H3000. The latter unit is revered for its very high quality built-in amorphous core SUTs that also offer quite a bit of adjustability. Why create the idea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I had a moment of doubt myself. Google seemed to indicate "Jonathan", but my instinct told me "John". I obviously chose Google over instinct. Today Google agrees with you and my instinct as well. I don't know what I was looking at yesterday. D... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I guess here is where I pipe in to say that I commissioned the construction of a slate slab, 19x23x3 inches, to fit the Mk3 chassis. I had a hole cut right through the slate large enough to allow me to position just about any tonearm. Then I had... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? PS. No need to do the Jonathan Cleese imitation. But do bring the parrot with you. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? JP hangs out here once in a while. Or else I think I have his email address. Or failing even that, he may have a website under Fidelis Analog. He's a very straightforward guy, so go for it.Found it: JP@fidelisanalog.com | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? Shane, I strongly advise you to check out the Krebs mod for your Mk3, especially since you are a lot closer to Richard geographically than most of the rest of us. It really grows on you. | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? Shane, That looks nice and simple. Is that a Thales tonearm? Has it displaced the Technics tonearm? Thanks. | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? If you expand your horizons to consider used equipment, you'd be amazed at what you can acquire for $3K. Just take a look at the Audiogon listings. I do understand that many are not comfortable with purchasing expensive second hand merchandise. | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? It wasn't you who attached a negative connotation to the use of FETs. As to tubes vs transistors, that's one of the oldest arguments in audio. But I don't think one should mix technologies with the expectation that out of that mixture one will ge... | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? Jolly, Where do you read that it’s a "thing" to pair a tube preamplifier with a solid state amplifier? I’m just curious, because, as I pointed out, unless you know what you’re doing, it can actually be a bad "thing". If one wants to do it, one nee... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? Nandric, et al. If you want to take Raul’s testimony about the AT636, keep in mind that he recommended using them under the naked chassis of an SP10 MK2. No obsidian plinth; just set the chassis down on 3 or 4 AT636s. Raul and I went at each other... | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? EDIT: In my post of 10:16 AM today, I wrote the following confusing sentence: "Ideally, the ratio between the output impedance of the driving stage should be around 10-fold lower than the input impedance of the amplifier." Obviously, the sentence ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chakster, Mark seems to have a "no-speed" problem, not an "off-speed" problem. His PD444 is dead. To paraphrase the Monte Python description of a dead parrot, it's an "un-turntable". | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? "i've read on this forum that a tube phono is better paired with a solid state amp." I don't know where you read that, but on a technical level, the opposite is usually true; if you want both tubes and ss in the signal path, then you are better o... |
