| Need Help buying headphones and head amps Head Fi is a great source of information but is a bit overwhelming, there is a lot of info out there. It takes a while to get used to it and also the tenor of the conversations which tend to be a younger age centric- than what you encounter on Ago... | |
| Class D Amps Cable matter?? What is "acting up"? If you are getting spurious signal, then you might need RFI shielding. If not try the Cable Company lending library which sounds like a great way to buy cable. They let you try it out first in your own system. I would think th... | |
| High quality pre-amp improve sound processor The sound from your processor going into the 2 channel preamp is probably not a good idea as the signal will be getting changed and manipulated an additional time from the original signal. I doubt that you can add "high end" 2 channel flavor to it... | |
| Revel Tweeter - Is Dimpling Cosmetic or Functional Kids love to push on speaker dust covers, that was the first thing that came to mind, any children around? I find it absurd given all the refinement we demand, only to find the sound quality unaffected by things like this, but it is true. You may ... | |
| Tube Troubleshooting This sounds like a classic case of tube rush. Tube rush is typically found in older spent tubes. The confusing element here is that the OP spoke of more than one tube. It is very unusual for 2 or more tubes to start rushing simultaneously. Thus th... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? These amps date back quite a few years. It might be prudent albeit difficult to get them looked at for new capacitors etc. | |
| MMG Placement These might not be the best choice for you as your permanent speakers. I would ask Magnepan about the set up if you want to try them anyway. I had a similar situation with different speakers and settled on bring them out only 2 feet into the room. | |
| Prilaluna Prologue Premium with KEF LS50 The stock tubes may be doing the sound any favors. Lots of discussion about this, do a search. In addition Kevin Deal has tubes for rolling for sale, you can ask him for help with his amp. | |
| cary slp-98p tube recommendations? Kevin deal at Upscale Audio sells a lot of Cary and a lot of tubes including true NOS for market prices. He is very careful about the quality of the tube, you won't find that on Ebay. www.upscaleaudio.com | |
| Any other tweaks for Wilson Audio Duettes? I was curious about the Duettes, but after enquiring I was told they only sell them to people with very difficult space requirements and wouldn't let me audition them.Anyway you should deaden the stands if you can. This is not Duette advice rather... | |
| Shunyata Hydra idle current draw Does the Hydra have a little light going all the time or any equivalent element? | |
| Tube buffers? The more compelling reason to own a tube buffer, is to help give component hooked up to "see" an impedance you want the component to see. I am not an EE or anything close, I hope some one with a clearer explanation to chime in. In my system I have... | |
| oppo 105d mod or look for a new cd player ? Is the third side of every story the truth? I assume so, As a physician and mentor to me said Why don't people get the second opinion first and save heartache, time and money? | |
| False advertising of expensive special tubes? @ZD542 I get email alerts for this tube and the vast majority of tubes given that name are not real. The tubes have to come from Holland the Heerland plant was the place Philips decided to make this tube. That simple criteria is frequently not eve... | |
| Which cartridge in a Nottingham Analogue? In the least you could do what I did and use a medium to high output MC cart. I have a Dynevector 20XH and use a MM phono pre amp. I am sure you get the idea. I think the sound is quite good but the real feinschmeckers will say it doesn't do MC th... |
