| difference from higher input impedence on amp? Agree to Ahendler. | |
| How do I know if iTunes files are all 'lossless'? I'm not sure if iTunes plays lossless files at all such as EAC, FLAC etc...?I use Media Monkey since I couldn't uncode them with i-Tunes.There's certainly hi-rez capability of iTunes but still not considered lossless. | |
| Calculating total capacitance The total capacitance adds up in your case if you find out the cartridge capacitance.From ballpark estimate point I would increase the load capacitance if adjustable. | |
| MC Cartridge Degaussing Demagnetizing Dude MC cartridges should be ALWAYS magnetized and NEVER demagnetized. As simple as that. | |
| preamp - price vs age For me it's worth. I usually tax the same amount if I pick up equipment to fix or to service (mainly studio gear and live sound) | |

| preamp - price vs age Finalize your work with resoldering all joints with fresh solder if you're savyy. | |
| preamp - price vs age If it was working all these years and tubes replaced promptly, it shouldn't be an issue. Otherwise DC electrolytic caps might need to be checked/replaced for circuit safety reasons. Make sure to mark + - to avoid misconnecting.For power supply and... | |
| best class a amp for a grand? If you tried Forte and Pass before, you don't have to try another class A ammp IMHO. | |
| Humming/Buzzing from Pro-Ject Speed Box II.... Make sure that you don't keep speedbox next to cartridge. Try to move it as far as possible from sound pick up. | |
| integrated amp problems More likely volume. DC caps are more likely OK since you've biased properly.You can upgrade your volume for the better one you have now. | |
| Small system upgrade question Tablettes 38Hz? Never! Unreal!Otherwise adding a compact sub is the best idea mentioned. | |
| Humming/Buzzing from Pro-Ject Speed Box II.... What cartridge you're using?Speedbox might have too much gain. Check also if the cartridge clips are properly connected. Check the ground connection if applied. I realy don't know what you've been using before as your phono preamp if applies. | |
| integrated amp problems Did you try to swap tubes from one channel to another?Swap than driving tubes as well and see the result. |
