| 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 ... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble from TT between songs Do you hear the rumble just turning on the VPI player (on high volume), or only when the stylus is in the record groove? | |
| S/N ratio Balanced input vs. Unbalanced input I wouldn’t worry about it but I would be curious. Even if not so loud, the hiss should not be there. 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... | |
| Turn down the Volume! I agree - avoid ambient and background noise - but NOT the ambient sound in the recording, which is there for a reason, like a band playing *together* and not each player on their own, the "good ambience" which is often pro-tooled away in modern r... | |
| Turn down the Volume! I have a horn system. It plays better at low volume than the s-state system I had before. Still, it sounds better with some more volume. I would like it to sound great even lower. But I think this is difficult to achieve. | |
| Analog vs. digital ghdprentice - you are a bit hasty declaring that this is "completely dependent on your components". It depends on the analog and digital formats too. Some of us hear problems with digital formats compared to analog, even if there are hassles the... | |
| WallySkater and Reference. miljostyn - I hope you like the MA-2’s. I have MA-1s (3.2) that are a joy every day. I recently realized (once more) how much a good amp means for the sound, connecting some bookshelf and desktop speakers to the MA-1s. The speakers all rose to the... |
