| Cartridge Recommendations Bob,I have both a Denon AU-300 and a Denon AU-320 in my collection. I didn't recommend either because your budget was more than these sell for. The AU-320 will work just fine. I really do think the Bob's Device SUT and/or the Silvercore SUT are be... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations The Bob's Devices SUT is a 1:10 stepup. That will stepup your Zu/Denon 103 from .3mv to 3mv. It is listed with 20db of gain, not 10. That should be more than enough. Link is below:http://www.bobsdevices.com/15095.htmI would look for a used Silverc... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Kenny,Have you gotten the Welborne Power Supply yet? If so, did it improve the SBT? | |
| Older DAC an Option? Here's an Audiogon thread from a few years ago discussing this very same topic:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1237515477&read&keyw&zzolder=dacs | |
| Noise/distortion coming out of speakers Some volume controls are "self-wiping". We usually only use a small portion of the volume control. Turn the preamp off and turn the volume control all the way from lowest to highest fast several times. That just might clean the contacts off enough... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Why not just add a SUT to your current setup? Bob's Devices or a Silvercore are around $500 or so. I also have a Zu Audio/Denon 103 on one of my tables and that's what I would do. I really like mine also. | |
| singers similar to Lucinda Williams If you don't have a Pandora account, (free), set one up and build a "Lucinda Williams" station. That will let you listen to similar artists like her.BTW, I really like Lucinda Williams. | |

| AES/EBU, Digital or Coaxial Between Transport-DAC I agree with Liz and Al. I have owned MANY DACs and transports and almost always found the AES/EBU connection to be the best sounding. | |
| Record Surface Noise Question Your Moerch UP4, (being a unipivot) lets you change/adjust the azimuth with the counterweight(s). Try very slightly moving/swinging the dropped counterweight to the left.I've owned both the Moerch UP4 and DP6 and they are a little harder to get se... | |
| Listening habits and LP storage My record room is on the same floor as my sound room and not that far away. I have, like probably everyone else, several LP's that I use for reference and/or just really like. It really depends on my mood and what I want to listen to at that parti... | |
| why is a step up transformer used Sorry, I wasn't as clear as I wanted to be in my comments above. The Krell KPE phono stage could only be powered from the Krell preamp's power supply or an external power supply. The external power supply didn't give the KPE any extra gain, (for t... | |
| why is a step up transformer used I think you might be confusing a step up transformer for A/C power with a SUT for phono?An A/C step up lets you use a lower voltage device, like a 100 volt Japanese unit, in the US or other country.A SUT, takes the very low voltage of a cartridge ... | |
| Problem with tube rolling 6SN7s One of the NOS GE's probably has a short in it. Once it warmed up, it kicked the breaker. You could swap out, one at a time, the GE's with a stock Chinese to find which one. |
