| Newbie ?'s Frank Zappa is a-must for every guitar lover. Any of his albums are more than great. The well recorded ones are "Jazz From Hell", "Broadway", "Ship Arriving Too Late...". King Crimson "Islands", "Discipline" and "Starless and Bible Black".You can ... | |
| Trace for a low buzz in one channel on AE3 preamp? Another isolation question:Is your preamp above poweramp or near? Try to separate them if that's the case.You'll benefit from a high quality powercord as well as powercords "arround" your preamp from a different components. | |
| Trace for a low buzz in one channel on AE3 preamp? Try to move your preamp by a couple santimeters different directions. You're probably catching some AC or your left channel stays closer to the AC than the right one. | |
| Need help w/ Audible Illusions M3A Bigtee, I'm basing on my experience as well that the IMO combo of two AES3 and EAR834P will perform far more superior than one M3A. Moreover EAR can be fed directly to the amplifier since it has volume control which gives an extra flexibility for ... | |
| Cartridge Tracking Force You're right Ron, I recently placed spacers between cartridge and arm-shell to increase profile since my VTA was already set on the lowest level. Now my "sweetest-to-ear" tracking force is 1.63g measured by CartridgeMan. | |
| Need help w/ Audible Illusions M3A Trailrunner,M3a phono section will not suffice for the descent analogue setup. Much wiser investment will be for AE3 and separate phonostage such as EAR834P. Alltogether you gain performance on both linstage and phonostage sides. | |
| Need help w/ Audible Illusions M3A Sell your M3a(since you don't need phono section) and opt for AES3 that costs twice less new than M3a used. Less tubes required to replace(only 2) and NOS will last forever in there. | |
| Recommended classical guitar CDs? Sorry for my wrong spelling of the follows: Leo Brower instead of Brouer and Barrueco instead of Baruecco.You can visit Barrueco's site www.barrueco.com. | |
| State of the art remote pre amp? Reality? In proper setup I'd stand for AudioSynthesis and Placette both passive remote controlled units. | |
| adding DIP to mega changer, any difference? You can get away much cheaper than DIP by feeding the analogue output into the tape input keep the cassette inside on record stand-by and feed tape output to the preamp. This way you will filter out all digital junk i.e. very and very close or eve... | |
| What is the life span of a phono cartridge? I had an original Glider with... with... near 6000 hours and sold it.It I guess could easily serve with proper care another 6000 hours or even more. | |
| How well does the VPI 16.5 work?? 16.5 has a powerful motor that allowes you not only vacume the record but clense the dirty one as well with felt brush and liquid.I use different liquids: Nitty Gritty one for the greasy and dirty records. I spread a large amount of Nitty Gritty w... | |
| Recommended classical guitar CDs? The "tastiest" classical guitar CD I've ever heard was played by Emanuel Baruecco who played music of two famous classical spanish guitar composers: Leo Brouer and Hector Villa Lobos. This guitarist can put his spirit onto every single note he pla... | |
| What does "transformer coupled" mean? Denis, It's an interesting question indeed and so far very interesting answers as well.Clueless, I'd like to clarify if you mean IT as an Ideal Transformer?...I was curious about transformers since my early youth and was devoted to electro-magneti... | |
| Amplifier speaker relay problems. You can do much better without these relays and opt for smaller output fuses i.e. .5A instead of 2A. Thus you will increase resistance on the signal path but along with that elimintate the switch that impacts synergy much larger.You can get high q... |
