| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? I forgot to add that dealer equipment will already be burned in... so you will get to hear what the amp actually sounds like.Also... most dealers take trade-ins... so you may find a great deal on something used. | |
| Beginner Audiophile. How to chose a right amp? Recommendation for my setup? talkskiwon,Since you state that your local dealers sell high priced equipment... might I suggest that you look for dealers up to an hour drive away... that sell more modest priced equipment.Take your speakers with you to audition them with any pro... | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? Is this the first time you have hooked up the table... or possibly the first time to the Marantz?Sounds like bad ground, or dirty/loose connection. Try this for a read:https://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/rega-planar-2-ground-hum.192497/ | |
| Noob, need help please Yeah... the Yammy stuff does lean to the cool side, so I could see it getting a bit analytical with the Adcom amp. I can see where the B&K amp would pair nicely with the Yamaha. | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more A number of years back... a few of my friends and I used to get together for "card night" once a week.We would rotate houses... and when it came to my turn to host... the others would start looking through my vinyl collection and making requests.T... | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more @jndean I reflect your sentiments... except for retirement. But I am looking forward to that. | |
| What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more @mahler123"Great sound enhances the appreciation of great music. The gear is a means to an end, not an end in itself."Well said!!!Many years ago... I just listened to the music. Then I discovered what potential was out there, and fell into the r... | |
| Noob, need help please laher,The speakers you have, (and that series), are pretty efficient. You wouldn't need alot of power to drive them. However... to get decent dynamics you would probably want something rated at 100 watts minimum.The main question then would be..... | |
| Noob, need help please @millercarbon"Home theater advice only really pertains if you are truly setting up a home theater with a lot of seating. In other words hardly anyone in the sweet spot. That's the real reason for all the channels. Because without the center channe... | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? To those recommending Blue Jeans cable for TT's...They are a decent cable... but for the next step up, for not much more money I would recommend trying the Analysis Plus Oval One.To my ears it was a definite upgrade. | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? Craigert,Keep in mind that a typical 1 meter set of RCA interconnects will add roughly 100pf on their own... +/- 15pf. Some designs/manufacturers start out way higher than that.Since you say you make your own cables... I will obstain from any re... | |
| Turntable/Subwoofer Ground loop You didn't say what turntable and cart you are using.If per chance you have a DD turntable, and are using a moving iron cartridge, (such as a Grado), this is most likely your problem. The moving iron cart picks up emi from the DD motor. | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance I should add that it was the original Venom from a few years back. It's been sitting around collecting dust because I was having a hard time finding a good spot for it.During some recent interconnect and PC changes... I tried it on the Oppo. Yuck... | |
| The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance @turnbowm I can't anwer that specifically... but there was a definite change in frequency response. Only way I can describe it, is that the highs went super airy to the point they were piercing... and the vocal range disappeared almost to the poi... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any mention of room size as I scanned this thread.I've seen some good suggestions:KlipschAltecCerwin VegaMTXOhm... and a few others.Pretty much any decent sized box speaker with a minimum 10" woofer works well. ... |
