| How to increase volume of my turntable - pre-amp - amp setup I totally agree that the Pro-Ject is the way to go. When I reread the thread I realized that the Logitech was the only source for power. | |
| Will audio streaming devices push out computer audio? I think computer audio is here to stay and will even grow once the availability of CD’s becomes limited. Too many people have made the investment of time and money to ditch their hardware and music collections. And music files will survive due to ... | |
| How to increase volume of my turntable - pre-amp - amp setup I have a cheap Scott turntable equipped with a low priced Audio-Technica mm cartridge through a cheap Berhringer pre-amp into a Logitech Z-680 speaker system. I also have a CD player separately into the system.If the Berhringer is a phonostage, ... | |
| How to increase volume of my turntable - pre-amp - amp setup @reubent is correct on all points. The last thing you need is a cheap device that boosts your output signal while increasing and adding noise in your system. And you don’t need more gain from your amp to the speakers, you need gain from your TT ca... | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks So far, it still seems like a problem with the crossover connection. How are you wiring the top binding posts to the bottom? | |
| Not seeing the sound I think there are other members who have not found their optimal speaker placement. When I look at some of the "Systems" photos, there’s no way some of the speakers are placed in an ideal position.It took me weeks to get it right when I bought new... | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks Definitely do all of the above, but install the brass factory jumpers. Let's keep the speakers in their stock setup to determine if the problem is the internal wiring. | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks I think this is a serious finding: Left tweeter almost nothing coming out, with nothing in the upper-highs, and maybe nothing in the mid-highs. a little low-highs. No distortion at all (I think this is important--I listened very closely). Right C... | |
| Fast-Blo ISOCLEAN fuse? allelectronics.com is an electrical and electronics supply store. If your fast-blow fuses are not counterfeit, then maybe Isoclean makes fuses for general electrical purposes. IOW, perhaps they offer a line of fuses for non-audiophile purposes. | |
| Not seeing the sound The sound is quite 3D now. There’s width, height and depth, if that makes any sense. Yup, that’s it. As stated above, the speakers have disappeared.You should also now hear quite a difference between many digitally remastered (compressed) recordin... | |
| Fast-Blo ISOCLEAN fuse? I own some IsoCleans. They only make slow-blow and all fuses have gold end caps with a logo." Isoclean fuses are available ONLY in slow blow version."http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue22/isoclean.htm | |
| Not seeing the sound In addition to chayro's description of a phase issue, you most likely will experience a loss of bass impact. If all the instruments/musicians are positioned in the right place and your imaging has width and depth with good dynamics, then you have ... | |
| Turntable Help If you have no dealer nearby, then google Music Direct or Needle Doctor.I was not at all impressed with the RP1; it is very lightweight and does not have the 24volt motor that the Planar 1 and 2 have. And as you've mentioned, get the best cartridg... | |
| Record cleaning Great suggestions by reubent.One thing though, never use pure isoproponol on vinyl records; it needs to be diluted with distilled water. Use Google and our archives to find info regarding cleaning solutions. | |
| Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks Thanks for checking your power conditioning setup. My thought was that it may be current-limiting, have bad wiring, or might be affecting the impedance or voltage level from your mains.I'll add that 150 hours break-in on speakers is low. I'll also... |
