| Former Spica owners ... what did you trade up to ? From TC-50s to Audio Note J's to VMPS 626Rs. Now I've got refurbed Quad ESL-57s en route from PK.Patrick | |
| Acoustic Solid Related to Acoustic Signature? I didn't have much luck with my Acoustic Solid One. I upgraded the motor to Redpoint and that didn't have much synergy either.I have switched to a Garrard 301 on a skeletal plinth I commissioned and couldn't be happier with the change from massive... | |
| Who is Nick Doshi? Thanks guys!Patrick | |
| Helikon Mono - what settings are you using? bump???????????????????????????????????????????? | |
| To Aesthetix users Anyone else notice a high-pitched whine from the PS transformer? The ones at the left-front as you face the power supply. It's not audible more than a few inches away, but I wonder if it's normal. Perhaps they need to be screwed down more firmly. ... | |
| To Aesthetix users Oh yes - from an early recommendation on this thread, I should also mention that I got some DeOxit Gold Cleaner (it came with a free sample of the Conditioner, which supposedly maintains the cleanliness).First try was on the crappy original AC cor... | |
| To Aesthetix users The latest on my Io Sig and RF saga, if anyone is still reading:I moved the Io power supply away from the windows (back toward where the system originally resided), which also took it further away from the ExactPower. Massive decrease in RF. It's ... | |
| To Aesthetix users An update. Jim and I have definitely identified this as RF and narrowed it down to the Io. It's not tube noise and it's not a grounding problem and it's not coming from the turntable. It doesn't make any difference which outlet it's plugged into, ... | |
| To Aesthetix users Hi Nkj,It's difficult to say whether the noise developed recently, but I didn't notice it until I moved the system in my room, about 4-5 months ago.Subjectively, though, it seems to be getting louder.BestPatrick | |
| To Aesthetix users Hi guys, my Io has the latest resistors, so that isn't the problem.I haven't tried swapping the PS tubes... no EL34s lying around (or rather there are some, but I'm not sure how good they are). No tube tester either :-(Patrick | |
| To Aesthetix users And a complete report on tube swapping...V1 & V2With the new Tung-Sols in this position, the chuff-chuff-chuff was audible in both channels, but much more so in the left channel, with the buzzing sound in both.V3 & V4With the original tube... | |
| To Aesthetix users Well, that didn't work.Still the same chuff-chuff-chuff with buzz, louder in one channel than in the other.I'm gonna move the Tung-Sols to V3 and V4 next. *sigh*... I have a feeling that this unit's going back to Aesthetix for a checkup.Patrick | |
| To Aesthetix users Wow, swift batch of responses! My quartet of Tung-Sols arrived and they are now in the V1 and V2 positions as the unit warms up. I'll report shortly whether this has solved the noise problem.Meanwhile, Jim and I have been playing phone tag... neit... | |
| To Aesthetix users Another update... haven't been able to get in touch with Jim for a second consultation, but now I'm fully convinced it's the front end tubes that are contributing to at least part of the choo-choo sound and buzz.In the meantime, I've taken the gai... | |
