| Question about background noise Simao excuse me for not answering your question. Any sound you hear is coming from the vinyl. There are varying qualities of vinyl. Many record companies recycle the vinyl and it always picks up impurities along the way but Virgin vinyl is more ex... | |
| Blu-ray to RCA or Balanced Just get a Mcintosh MVP901 then you can forget about getting another one for a long time. It has Balanced outputs and also has USB inputs so you have a way in for computer audio using the 901's DAC. | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... Stringreens, The Linn's suspension is not damped at all so the Q is very low. It is very tonearm sensitive. If you put too light a tone arm on it the resonant frequency of the suspension will get high enough to throw the arm right off the record. ... | |
| Hard Reading - Suggestions from a speaker maker Bsimpson, all those secrets have long been discovered. There are only differing approaches to the same problems. Magico uses aluminum and Wilson composites, some use no enclosure at all. Paper, beryllium or diamond. With the drivers available on t... | |
| Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other. Blow yourself into a new dimension.SoundLabs. | |
| Bass management with stand alone preamps mike, the Trinnovs fan is dead silent. Very slow speed. It does tell you how much computing power they have in there. A Lot. To call it a preamp is an understatement. It is the best room control available at this point, it is digital bass manageme... | |
| Digital Room Correction For Speakers The best out there right now is the Trinnov Amethyst. It will do everything for you including bass and sub woofer management. It uses a very special microphone to calibrate the system and it does so from various points in the room. I have been usi... | |
| Opportunity to knock out a wall - make an 18 x 30 room Well, your bass should improve in the 18 X 30 X 8 room. The 18 X 19 is a bad room for hi fi. Dimensions are too close. I would go with the 18 X 30 X 8. Just make sure that wall is not load carrying! | |
| Speaker of the Century Award Goes To .... Teo you are so wrong. I get 110 db out of my ESLs and the only limit is amplifier power. You will never find a dynamic loudspeaker with near the realism of a floor to ceiling ESL which obviously you have never heard which means you have absolutely... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... Millercarbon the only way to isolate a table is to suspend it correctly. You are right about tuning the suspension and The SOTA does this by adding and or subtracting lead shot to a well under the tonearm board. Any table on a fixed base is only ... | |
| Possible turntable upgrade.... Denjer I have owned two Linns over the years and I hated both of them but they were still the best table you could buy at the time. You have to trust me on this one. Get a SOTA Cosmos and stick your Graham on it.You will never buy another turntabl... | |
| Question about background noise Lewm6 to me a black background is No Noise. I have some discs that are extremely quiet but not black. Good digital systems run the digital at max gain then adjust the volume on the analog side so that you always have full resolution. My system doe... | |
| Cartridge output question May be a loading issue or a defective Air Tight which would be unusual but you did have to send it back. | |
| Most “disappeared” speakers. In your price range, Martin Logans. | |
| Question about background noise There is no such thing as an entirely silent background with vinyl only variations in not so quiet. This is mostly due to the quality of the vinyl with contributions from stylus shape and frequency response. If you want black back grounds stick wi... |
