| Decca Jubilee / Dynavector XV-1s / ZYX / Allaerts The only really negative comment I've heard from others about the Jan Allaerts cartridge line is that there is a wide variation in the quality of construction (the fit and finish I presume).I suppose if Jan isn't feeling well on the week he makes ... | |
| Burn in question You don't have to burn in through each input because there are generally no active or even passive circuit devices between any of the inputs and the source selector switch.You do want to have a load (speakers) connected to the amp's outputs. | |
| Subwoofer help: ACI, Von Schweikert, Martin Logan Bob, (you mean the built in high pass filter, don't you?) Anyway I run a 24' pair of SE Straightwire Maestros to my Depth, and it's as quiet as a chair. The Descent has XLRs, as I'm sure you know. I just happen to like the speed of the Depth.From ... | |
| Tube preamp as foundation for 2 channel upgrade John is right, I forgot that with HT, the system will be "in use" in one form or another all the time. So go for (at least) a really good SS amp to drive the Talons, and if that still doesn't do it, maybe you could just get a simple tube linestage... | |
| Where to install Superclock3, Transport or DAC? I'd love to give you a guess-pinion (and I might just be correct!) but if you want to avoid confusing/conflicting responses and get an answer you can "take to the bank," write to Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound Co. and ask him:shuntley@great... | |
| Tube preamp as foundation for 2 channel upgrade The problem is (are) the five bare bones SS amps in the Aragon. I think the simplest solution would be to get a tube stereo (or pair of monoblock) amp(s). Drive it (them) with the "Front" (or "Main") outputs from your processor (and just drive you... | |
| AC captive cords??? If it's a newer model sub with a captive cord, it's probably not going to benefit from a more expensive/better PC, or the manufacturer would have made the stock cord detachable to give you (and the sub) that option.On the other hand, if it's an ol... | |
| Subwoofer help: ACI, Von Schweikert, Martin Logan Bob, the ML Depth does indeed provide (line level, not speaker cable) high-pass outputs, if so desired. At 40Hz, 70Hz, and "none". The "none" position is to daisy-chain another Depth onto the first. Then you use the high-pass outs on the last sub ... | |
| 2 Pre-Outs? Without actually seeing how you've got things hooked up, my first thought is that somehow or other, one amp-and-pair-of-speakers combo got connected out of phase to the other group. | |
| Subwoofer help: ACI, Von Schweikert, Martin Logan If your main is quick, and you can stretch your budget 2-3 hundred dollars, you'd be well advised to go with a (used) ML Depth.You didn't mention your room size, but you should only need one, and placed right between your mains. I think the "Balan... | |
| Recomendations on CD Palyers with Volume Control Budget?? New or used?? | |
| Martin Logan Summits/Cary 805's, does this work? Gee, I had no idea the Summits were that efficient. Anyway, the 805s should be fine because the ML spec has SS amps in mind, and the 805s being single ended probably put out more effective power than their ratings. The real issue is whether they c... | |
| Tips to install cartridge Yeah, isn't it a bitch when cartridges don't come w/ threaded holes ?#@*! Anyhow, there are many ways to solve this problem. Here are two:1. Get a long-ish bolt (>3/4") that you thread halfway into the nut. Wrap a piece of tape around the bolt ... | |
| task lighting suggestions The transformer base could be a problem (hum). If you want to go that route, get the ones with the 120V halogen bulb and no transformer |
