| REL six pack questions Thanks audiorusty! Yeah you make a great point about them using small monitors for their demo. But in many installations they use giant main speakers that have response down to the bottom. So it's still a mystery to me with those kinds of speakers... | |
| REL six pack questions Thanks Charlie. I keep reading these kinds of things, so am excited to hear it. | |
| Equalization with REL six pack Thanks Erik! I put room treatment aside only to avoid people telling me I shouldn't be doing equalization etc etc. I definitely understand it's best to treat as far as you can and then maybe equalize what's left, if needed. I do have a couple of b... | |
| Equalization with REL six pack No thank you. I listen to 80% analog and ike the PARC. | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output I have played with outboard sets with a previous setup and the Hashimoto HM-7 based sut sounded amazing. The only thing I did not like about it is that it tended to make images very large, which for me makes the whole presentation less realistic. ... | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output Thanks again, everyone! I will start looking for a used Masseto. There is one in Canada that is a possibility. | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output Thanks for the great feedback guys. Good to hear a .3mv cartridge sounded great on the Masseto. Lalitk, I seem to read repeated opinions that the masetto is superior to the old monbrison, and potentially not as good as the new monbrison. Not sure... | |
| Shindo Masseto w Koetsu .3mv output Thanks for answering the bonus question! Appreciated. May I ask what cartridge you used and its output in mv? Stu | |
| Thor ta-1000 pre cap replacement -- advice Always good to listen to Grannyring! It's been a while but I think he helped me when I was looking at caps for my Thor years ago. I am one of those guys who absolutely loved the audio note copper mylar caps with it. But I am someone who loves orga... | |
| Shindo Labs Amps and Preamps Not sure if this thread is active. but looking for advice. I used to own a Shindo Montrachet amp and lucked into an extra dealer-provided NOS tube set for it from the guy who sold me the amp... which I always kept as a backup. After selling the Mo... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? I have not checked/cleaned the preamp fuse. Will do that first, as well as disconnecting wifi and other simple tests suggested, such as trying a backup amp to see if the interaction with my amps is a problem. Then check pre tube pins seatings. The... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Wow Evil Stu thanks for all that! I don't have much slack in the power cord and it is heavy-ish Cardas Golden Ref. Hmm.Good Stu | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? I'm not interested in getting rid of the preamp. It is too good and my system is balanced just the way I like it. It has taken years to get to this point, so if I have to live with the hum, I will ;)But I really appreciate all the great ideas offe... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Wow thanks for all the ideas. If the pre power supply tubes could cause hum, I should check them and sockets. That is one thing I have not done. I could just replace them. So are you saying that unmatched power supply tubes could create hum like t... | |
| Living with unsolvable hum - Any audio detectives out there? Thanks GS556. Before I do any of that, does the fact that replacing my preamp with another preamp eliminates the hum make that experiment unnecessary? Or are you suggesting these electrical issues could cause an issue with some preamps but not oth... |
