| Why are my woofers pumping? Thanks, all! Atmasphere - you may be right. But Lyra does not warn, and web debate does not complain, using the Atlas on the SME V - so i wonder.Czarivey - good suggestion, but I doubt speakers or airborn feedback is the cause. Sounds (looks) much... | |
| Why are my woofers pumping? It happens regardless of the vinyl record, it seems. It is not mainly a matter of warp or off-centred records. | |
| Phono stage Hi David - based on your sonic preferences - take me to the next level, etc - I suggest an Aesthetix phono stage. They sometimes appear used for a fair price. You can move up, if needed, from there. I did, some years ago, investing in a basic ver... | |
| Recommended Speaker List for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers. I agree with the praise for OTL, and Atma-Sphere. I own a pair of MA-1s and have not looked back. I tried with different speakers, and even if 8 ohm speakers sounded OK, the full benefit of the amps was evident only when I got Audiokinesis Dream M... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it What does the audiophile do, in a situation with shrinking income? Downscale? Let me think - I have followed this brand X for many years. Do I get a rebate, for replacements or upgrades? No, not to my knowledge. It seems that high level audio is s... | |
| Fix Aesthetix Io volume control? Update:The Io is back from repair at Aesthetix. It took a long time, several components had to be replaced, problems were difficult to locate, and it was only after changing both volume controls that the repairs could be made. I had to wait a long... | |
| Vinyl recordings - best methods Dgarretson - same with me, my Revox A77 remains on my loft. To get better recordings than 2xDSD on the Tascam, the Revox would at least need a service and probably some considerable upgrade too. I recorded to open reel tape on the Revox for many y... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 Ozzy - nice to hear. So what do you use as Dac? | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 While I am at it - one last thing. Don’t record too polite and low, on the Tascam. I went down too low on my early DSD recordings, and have to turn the volume way up - 15-20 percent to sound standard loud, on playback devices like the Fiio X3ii. I... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 I am using the Tascam as my main DAC. I either record from vinyl, play vinyl recordings, or play digital music. My source for digital is the Squeezebox Touch. This can play 192/24 bit files, now, with the EDO plugin (Enhanced digital output and Ke... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 I was a bit surprised that a preamp maker told me to use balanced out (volume controlled) rather than line out, for recording. In the old days it was always "use line out". I recorded many vinyl drops on my trusty old Revox A77, and the line out w... | |
| Audiophile recording and playback - Tascam DA-3000 There has been no comments from me, due to no recording on the Tascam. My main source, the Aesthetix Io has been repair for a long time. Now, it is back. Rushton: using the Tascam to its best capability double DSD is the best way, I believe. And, ... | |
| D'Agostino vs. Ayre Hi goodwithtools,I wonder if your speakers are not quite optimal for Atma MA-1s (even with your upgrades). According to Atkinson's review the Alexias are quite demanding. I changed from a Krell FPB600 to MA-1s and have not looked back. I followed ... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Hi cjinsc, by 2017 I have ended up with Atmasphere MA-1 mk 3.2 amps driving Audiokinesis Dream Maker speakers, augmented by a modified (bridge coupled) Pioneer 912 driving Audiokinesis LCS speakers (you can see my updates in my system blog here at... | |
| Balanced or single ended phono cable to Aesthetix Io? My Io has been on repair. Meanwhile I bought a used ASR mini basic to be able to play vinyl (much good sound for c 700 usd, but no Io of course), which is single ended only. Therefore, I have not been able to follow up on single ended vs balanced... |
