| Why are my woofers pumping? I am back to square one. Invictus005 was right: "There’s nothing you can do. It's normal. .. Just live with it and when the stylus wears out get something else." | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? I disconnected the Aesthetix Io, and connected the ASR mini basis mk2. Playing Pink Floyd Echoes once more. Result? Very similar behavior. Subsonic pumping, strongest in the right channel. Even if the ASR has far less deep grunt in the bass compar... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Thanks tkr - but I live in Oslo.Thinking about the problem, I thought: maybe it is related to the Telefunken NOS tubes I use in the super sensitive first gain stage of the Aesthetix Io. So I pulled it halfway out of the shelf, enough to get off th... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Thank you for your patience and help my friends.Handymann - hire an exorcist – indeed !! I played Crime of the century (Mofi version). Woofer pumping between tracks – yes, some. Much energetic woofer vibration in the loud parts of the music - yes.... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Yes I will tell, once I find the culprit. The subsonic pumping does not occur with CDs, only vinyl. It does occur when I play digital recordings (rips) of my vinyl. Since these were made with zero speaker volume, acoustic feedback is unlikely. As ... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp I also remember the Nautilus, a bit cold and analytical yes - I preferred the Dynaudios for that reason. But I felt it was the speakers mainly not the amp. | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp Almarg - I was not trying to say that the B&Ws are a good match with the Atma amps - most probably not - the OP would have to change speakers in that case. I agree, the zero autoformers is a useful add-on, but again, only if you don’t have an ... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? "The highlighted noise on the LP playback, approximately 7 Hz, is absent on the CD. By the way, the very low frequency noise was present on every LP I played for this test: from new pristine vinyl to older worn LPs with more clicks and crackle... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? Dear Raul, thanks!1)The speaker system is Audiokinesis, Dream Makers in front, plus LCS speakers firing towards the roof, in the back of the fronts. Similar to this one (but in much nicer light wood):http://www.audiokinesis.com/dream-maker-lcs.htm... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp Maybe I am wrong, no expert here, but my impression is that the B&W Matrix 800s are quite a difficult load - or at least, that owners have long been looking for the best ways to get an optimal amp match...On paper, the Krell FPB 600 should ... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp Note: my version of the amp does not make it clear when it shifts into class A; the nearest I could get was to feel the heat on the top plate. As soon as I turned the volume up with the Dynaudio speakers, the top plate turned hot, playing loud, ve... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp This was some years ago, but I remember thinking: connecting a 1k dollar set of speakers (the Aurums) to a 12k amp cannot be any good. So I was surprised.I often wondered if I would prefer a different bias system on the Krell - an option to make i... | |
| Replacing my Krell FPB 600 amp with a tube amp I went up the Krell line of amplifiers in the 1990s, and ended with a FPB 600, which deserves high praise, but has certain - let me say - conditions. In my system, it sounded much better when it 1) got a dedicated power line, 2) a solid slab of st... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? My audio friend Eirik came around today and helped me tighten the housing of the spindle on the Hanss player. Luckily the needed 2.5 mm Umbraco driver was included in the set I had bought. So - what was the result? Pumping: no difference. It did n... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences I am running my Lyra Atlas - it is maybe a total of 14 - 1500 hours by now. No major problems. The bad spots in my vinyl collection are like before (mistracking, sibilance). It has become more "slack" than in the beginning, as is to be expected. M... |
