| Left channel sounds louder Reverse the channels and see if the imbalance shifts to the other side. If it is a source or something caused by something in the electronics it will change. If it does change then you should be able to find the problen or source of the imbalance.... | |
| Music Hall Turntable Hum? Is it possible that you have placed the turntable or the IC's from it to the phono stage near a transformer in an amp or pre-amp or even a DDP. Try moving the TT to another location and see what happens. You might also check to see if the ground w... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? "As far as I can tell he wasted good money thinking that the Mullard had some sonic effect."I disagree regarding whether it was a 'waste of money', at least from his point of view. Perception, often with a bit of gulibility, is the only justificat... | |
| Proper Toe-in Configuration Clio09, Mr T correctly makes a case for trying something different, and he is also right that you will hear a (major) change in spectrum balance, i.e. substantial roll of of high's and mid's, but it will also dull the signals which are so importan... | |
| Music for speaker setup? Opus 3 has some recordings on CD which originated on LP called "Depth of Image" and "Timbre" which are outstanding IMHO for your purposes. Opus 3 was selling a CD set over the internet. These recordings come with a description of what each track w... | |
| Adding a second sub Thirsty93, Whether you run the 1.5's full range with the subs just added to the bottom of the range or use the 1.5's as satelites with the subs taking over all of the mid and deep bass duties depends a lot on the speakers being used, the crossover... | |
| Cayin A70T has bogus tube rectification? With all due respect to Ttbolad and Captkhz, before we all jump on this band wagon, consider that this consumer alert came to A-Gon via the first post of an unknown person. We've made a lot of charitible assumtions about new posters in the past th... | |
| Adding a second sub Bob, Thirsty93 is lucky to have someone available with your knowledge of the operation of his reveiver. I'm amazed about the operation of the LFE output. I've never had a complex receiver and this is all new to me. You can actually electronically ... | |
| Adding a second sub I just tried to pull up the nhthifi link. No luck, but I did visit their current site. Again, no luck, re the products you mentioned, but they did have some sub systems which give me a fair idea of what they have.You apparently want to have a left... | |
| Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms? Microstript, Thanks for the info. I was recalling some comments made by Stereophile's Gillet maybe 15 years ago, apparently inaccurately. Maybe this explains some of my dissatisfaction with the Quads which have been in my attic for about 10 years.... | |
| Jadis JA30 - Quad ESL63 .. 4,8 or 16ohms? As I recall the '63' has an impedence droop to 3.5 ohms in the bass. If so using a 16 ohm tap sould seem counterintuitive. I used a 4ohm taps with mine, but I never used a 16 ohm tap so I can't comment on any real differences. | |
| hum from my preamp Sounds like you have something in the pre-amp that is vibrating and this vibration becomes amplified by the shelf when you sit it down on the shelf. Next time you place it down put your hands on the shelf and see if you can feel anything, either o... | |
| do you need to elevate interconnects? FWIW I've used 25 and 15 ft runs of IC's on hardwood floors, at base boards on the room boarders and on/under carpets. In the air and on the floor surfaces. I've never detected any reason to prefer using lifts for IC's. But, everything else being ... | |
| Adding a second sub "......whoring up mine". Just goes to show than no good deed goes unpunished. Did I actually answer your question for you? Did anything good come out of my post at all? And, if my post actually answered your question what is your point?BTW, FWIW, ... | |
| Adding a second sub Dwhitt, Consider that your post gave unasked for advise that had nothing to do with the question, denegraded the posters equipment, AND was not responsive in any manner. Try to be helpful next time out, not just an audio oracle.You could have said... |
