| Hum in speakers A hum could be caused by many different issues. For starters, is the hum the same if you change the source? I had a hum when I selected my turntable but not when I selected my DAC. It turned out that my phonostage was too close to my power amp, ... | |
| Question on using Vinyl Studio Jeff, I tinkered with this a while back, but I dropped the project pretty quickly. My question is, why record vinyl to digital exactly? In order to get great sound from vinyl, one needs a great playback system (cartridge, arm, table, phonostage)... | |

Though I have to sell the sub to be able to afford the change. I made a deal with my wife! Changing the gear is fine, but with a baby on the way, expensive audio purchases are n... | |
| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub Hello everyone, thank you for the comments, please keep them coming! A couple of updates. I think the Olympica III are out of my price range. They are too new and the ones I saw used for $8k are slightly damaged, hence the lower price, but I hav... | |

| Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub RCPrince,Indeed you are right about the setup in the Best Buy store. I listened to the Sonus Faber Olympica III there today. The room has a different system on each wall and too many speakers in the room overall. But I have seen worse. I had a... | |

But there is an explanation to my craziness.The amp change option was simply a testament to my open mindedness at solving a problem. In fact, I am very pleased to be keeping my ARC gear. The search for the noise in my sys... | |

| Parasound Halo JC 3 vs Whest PS .30R for the Lyra Delos Good point! Any way to be sure the Whest is operating properly short of sending it to England for service? Is there some sort of bench test to see if it is operating up to spec? I have a dealer in the area that specializes in analog, and he has... | |

| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? Any thoughts on the Parasound Halo JC 3 phono preamplifier? It has the balanced outputs that I want to keep and 68db of gain, which would allow me to avoid being at the top of the volume control. I believe it is designed by the same designer as ... | |
