| Tube PHONO preamp interference - RFI, EMI, bad grounding? In my case, it was the burglar alarm box. Had to move it to another room. | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. My way forward has been mainly by listening. Also considering good measurements when available. | |
| Help selling Krell 700 CX Sorry - I meant hifishark, not audioshark, in my post above. | |
| Voces8 just blew my mind +1 Great acoustics and the singing isnt bad either :-) And what a song, it deserves this treatment "And the people bowed and prayed To the neon god they made" | |
| Help selling Krell 700 CX You can look up Audioshark.com, I see a few fpb 700cx for sale from ca 6 to 8k usd. You should be able to get at good price for it. I sold a fpb 600 some years ago and it was not difficult to sell for a good price (same with other krell amps i've ... | |
| Moved from medium attic like room to larger room, everything is too bright I wonder how your speakers would sound with a good tube amp. They can be a bit analytical and energic in the treble, according to the Stereophile review. I have a room similar to yours, carpet on a thick wood floor, etc. Yes, you can and should tr... | |

| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs I think this is something you will have to live with, with these speakers, but you may be able to reduce it. Is it "groove noise", rather than rumble? All turntables have some of it. Comes with the vinyl medium. Over ten years, I turned down the ... | |

I am allergic to anything that gives more digital glare, and the hiss may be a suspect, even if not much notable by itself when playing music in t... | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input What happens if you disconnect the DAC from your amp? Hiss still there? | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input So its not the connections. And the hiss is constant, regardless of the volume level? | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input Auronthas - can you compare the hiss, changing to single ended input? | |
| Uneven room dimensions/reflections = uneven toe in as solution? My room is fairly large (8.3 x 6.1 x 2.3 m) and symmetrical, and the speakers sound best playing from the short 6.1 m wall. However, the left side has windows while the right has shelves with LPs. So the left sound is brighter, the right darker. I... | |
| What tube amp are you using with Von Schweikert VR series speakers dpm2340 They may be out of your budget, even used, but I think you owe it to yourself to hear these speakers with OTL tube amps. The Atma-sphere M-60 might do the job. (or at least the MA-1). I find that OTL has a clarity, timbre, immediacy etc t... |
