| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? I really appreciate everyone's comments / suggestions. As I have said in some posts above, I replaced the tubes in my Audible Illusions L3, and that did solve my hiss issue. Now, I'm addressing a low level hum, that I feel is directly attributable... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Atmosphere....Thanks for you info on the Jensen SUT. I will research it.Also, I did replace the two tubes in my Audible Illusions L3 preamp today. No more hiss. Your right, it's not how old they are, its how many hours there are on them. However, ... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Austinbob, my phono preamp is an Acoustech PH-1P is solid state. My preamp is an Audible Illusions L3. It is tubed, but only two. I replaced the tubes today, and that eliminated the hiss! Now I'm just dealing with a low level hum, at high volumes. | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Elinor...yes, I have the ground wire from the tt, connected to the phono preamp. I tried running it to the headamp, but that made the hum much worse. | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Replying to Al.....I do apologize to you, and to all who read my posts, as I haven't updated my system info here on A'gon for years. What is shown is out of date, and my current system is totally different now. #1). So....in reply to your statemen... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Lewm, I am hearing a low level 60hz, hum. The hiss now is gone, as I have replaced the two tubes in my Audible Illusions L3 preamp. My phono stage is a Acoustech PH-1P. The head amp is a Hagerman Piccolo. Oh, I respectfully disagree that someone w... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Bifwynne, I replaced the tubes in my preamp, and no more hiss. Still a low level hum, but very low. I'm still going to work on it, because I want it, as another A'goner said, "dead quite". | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? To all:I'm beginning to think that because I'm hearing mostly hiss, that it may be the tubes in my Audible Illusions L3 preamp. I bought the preamp new Christmas, 2012, and the tubes are still the original tubes. Going on 3 years now. Time to orde... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? To answer Swampwalker above:Thanks for the info about the KAB calculator.Also, I have tried the lower setting on my phono preamp, but then I have to turn up the gain on preamp, and thus the noise. | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Bifwynne:I'm starting to think that it may be the tubes in my preamp (Audible Illusions L3). They are 2 1/2 years old, so it is very possible (maybe even probable) that it's time to replace them! | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? To answer Bifwynne above:Yes, I really like my Kleos too, but this noise is really starting to bug me! My tt is a VPI Classic 3, and yes, I guess it could be the tt motor, but how can I check that? | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? To answer ETBABY above:All of my gear is plugged into a Running Springs Audio - Jacob PC. | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? To answer Alan above:My tt is grounded to my phono preamp, and my phono preamp is grounded to my preamp. I have tried grounding my head amp to the tt...bad idea, it hummed like crazy. Then I tried grounding my head amp to my phono preamp.....same ... | |
| Love / Hate relationship with vinyl? Thanks Swampwalker. I'm trying to avoid a SUT due to the fact that they are so cartridge specific. I like my Kleos, but I guarantee you, at some point I'll want to try something else! Currently, I'm using an older Acoustech PH-1P phono stage (desi... | |
| Will power cables improve a VPI Classic 3 tt? Thanks to all for your responses. Seems that the consensus is no improvement when it comes to using an upgraded power on a turntable. Again, thanks! |
