| Rega P3 and Emotiva xps-1 (MM or MC)? @samjohnson1 Yes, but the MC setting is causing you run your TT at a very high level. Could be bad for your amp, and most definitely cause increased hiss and distortion. Exchange for another unit. | |
| Rega P3 and Emotiva xps-1 (MM or MC)? When I set the phono stage to MM the gains get deactivated. In other words, I cannot set them to 47 kohms as you suggested.Understood. It’s defaulting to the MM setting.So, the volume control is way up when set to MC. That’s normal due to the very... | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp Why change the amp? I suggest auditioning some speakers that are more efficient and are more neutral. PSB's are toward the warm side, which is not a good match for the Pass Class A. | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp It seems like you are listening in a near-field setup, so room acoustics may not have an effect. Make sure the speakers are at least 3 ft. from front wall and play with distance from side walls. I needed speakers to be 7 to 8 ft. apart and toed-in... | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp @partialresponse , I would think that the Pass XA30.5 could drive this speaker with its high current, but there have been past threads where somebody had described the same situation with the Synchrony One. Basically complaints of lifeless or non ... | |
| Audiogon's entitlements Yes, it's buggy. And annoying. | |
| PSB Synchrony One Speakers and Pass XA30.5 Amp Synchrony One is not an easy load to drive. http://www.stereophile.com/content/psb-synchrony-one-loudspeaker-measurements#Tg4MUvgRPY2suIrQ.97Without high power, high current it will never sound dynamic. Maybe a high power Pass, Plinius, or Parasou... | |
| Payment Method Evolution @czarivey, so how do you pay when using Agon and Ebay? Do you use PayPal with only a credit card ?I understand your workaround the bank account. | |
| Payment Method Evolution PayPal has always required your bank account info. A verified acount is when you add a credit card to PayPal. A credit card is safer to use than a bank account IMO.Being verified allows transactions to be processed faster. | |
| Need New Speaker Cables to Replace my Nordost SPM's I found that a single run with the "Nordost" diagnal jumper method provided best results. Shotgun may be even better but expensive, I was using Cardas at the time. | |
| Need New Speaker Cables to Replace my Nordost SPM's Did you like the Nordost sonic signature? What qualities or characteristics are you looking for; neutral, lively, or laid-back, or warm? Cables do sound different.Good list by mgreen, but it covers a wide range...Purist is laid-back, deep imaging,... | |
| Primare DAC 30 According to online reviews your DAC is fully balanced, so it doesn’t make sense to me why the SE output voltage spec is the same as the balanced.Maybe call the manufacturer or dealer. | |
| Comparing these CD players with my gear... The Naim for sale is an excellent spinner at a great price. If you Google Naim 3.5 images you will see all the units say NACD 3-5. The unit for sale matches the 3.5 model exactly, so IMO it is not an upgraded 3.0. If it is, then it has the upgrade... | |
| Rega P3 and Emotiva xps-1 (MM or MC)? Clearly, something is wrong, the Elys 2 has a very high gain and should sound very robust when set to MM.I'm looking at the manual; I assume you've switched both channels to MM. Did you set both switches to 47 kOhms?One more thing...even though y... | |
| Tascam 44 no level controls Right, the 44-OB. @dogsonka , is the original 44 a RCA only deck?I worked in studios and with a mixer you could record to channels 3 & 4, then bounce those tracks over to 1 & 2 for a stereo mixdown. And then keep repeating the process.Musi... |
