It is not the Talk player but thee Jungson Moon Harbor player in my second system and funny Ngjockey that you should mention Talk as I spoke to Kevin at Talk electronics last night at 2:30 am pacific time and he said that some players do what mine... 
Good Budget CD and integrated????
Jungson has some good gear and it is not as expensive as the average gear at it's quality point. There's alot of inexpensive chinese gear that is a great value for the dollar.Jungson stuff is becoming more well known as their amps are spectacular ... 
Speltz Anti Cables
So should they be twisted or just left untwisted. Would twisting them be the better choice to start with at say three or four twists per foot.? Or would you try then just loose on the first try? 
Hearing loss and center image
Maineiac, You've got that right. It drove me crazy for years. It was actually my doctor who reccommended it but I was afraid as when I was younger I hurt myself doing that maeuvre. Now i know how much pressure is required. Also stretching my jaw w... 
Cable Costs Relative to System
I find cabling as important as any other part of the musical chain including ones mood at the time of listening. I beleive without a doubt that good cables make a huge positive difference when used in proper synch with the rest of the system and i... 
Hearing loss and center image
I have a similar problem with my hearing as I have "Eustacian tube Derficiency"so my Dr tells me. Basically my ears will block up as if I were going up or down in an airplane but just by themselves. I could drive my car to the store a block away, ... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
Gregm. It would be appeciayted if you could explain what you mean in your above post. One of my tweeters high frequency's are airborn? What do you mean? It's OK if there is error but I don't understand what you mean. The x-overs are slightly diffe... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
Lacee, I do have a hearing problem in that my ears go like normal peoples ears go when in an airplane. My ears get blocked if I drive my car. It took me 25 years to figure this out and then I realised I could equalise my ears by pinching my nose a... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
Gregm,I think what it is that I noticed is when looking for it and right up to the tweerer I can hear a little noise which sounds almost like rf. It is the noise that is present in the right channel even if only the amp is hooked up to the speaker... 
Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
As much as the speaker crossover mods wowed me so did the cable upgrades. The main difference is that I upgraded the cables in steps being impressed each time. If you were able to mod your speakers at a reasonable cost then that's a really good th... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????

Speaker and amp balance question?????
Thanks Driver, I've already done what you proposed years ago and then again recently. The slight amp noise on the right channel is there regardless of the preamp attached or not. I know it is the amp but I know that the X250's do this. It's not ju... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
Shadorne, you could be right. How would I know?The tweeters both sound the same as I have discovered by testing and swapping them and the problem appears only on the right channel regardless of which speaker is connected to it.You could be right t... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
Driver, the noise difference cannot be detected with test tones.?If sitting in my listening position and play test tones(which I have done) the sound the same either from both speakers to .a central image or from each individual speaker. Somehow I... 
Speaker and amp balance question?????
I would use a mono source to test the tweeters. There is a slight degree of noise from the right channel that is audible close up at the speaker. Could it just be this noise I am noticing. If two feet back from the speakers I cannot tell them apar...
