| To Aesthetix users Interesting thanks Nkj.Yes, I suspect there is something off with the receptacle grounding. There is no ground wire, but there may be an armored cable or conduit - the instructions said that the receptacle could be grounded if it made mechanical c... | |
| To Aesthetix users Hi guysI've been travelling in Europe on biz but all these suggestions are extremely helpful. I might also have a bad tube somewhere since the problem is worse in right channel than left when phono is selected, so will try swapping those (maybe th... | |
| To Aesthetix users P.S. I've heard amazing things about the Nordost Thor, which the reviewer on whose recommendation I impulsively bought th EPA uses it in between his equipment and the EP15... 'course this would still bring Jim's objections into play...Patrick | |
| To Aesthetix users Hi oldvinyl,Thanks for the detailed response. I use the XLR outputs too and love them. I don't have the version with the line level input (and volume controls) - I run the Io to a BAT linestage. No CD player in the system at all, as a matter of fa... | |
| To Aesthetix users Thanks guys, perhaps I should clarify -Oldvinyl, I already own both the Io Sig and the ExactPower. The EP15A powers everything in my system except for the Io Sig. I fear that this may be creating a ground loop, because both the EP15A and the Io ar... | |
| What's wrong with classical music on vinyl? As soon as I read the first post, I thought "Deutsche Grammaphon." Their releases from the '70s on were packaged in a sticky "Saran Wrap" style poly-lined bag that deposited residue on the surface of the vinyl. Over time, this problem has grown wo... | |
| Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel Dan, I could use new eyes too! And I'm only 39. Patrick | |
| Graham 2.2 tonearm cables Cable has so much to do with the rest of the system, and I've changed mine since I changed cables. That said, I started with the Graham IC-30, which I found too sharp, and switched to the Cardas Golden Cross which I am still running.The rest of my... | |
| Wiring Assignments for Denon DL103R...Grovel Amandarae and Dan_ed,That doesn't sound right to me. I agree with Ramond - looking at the back of the cartridge, stylus pointing down, the pins should be:>Top left=left earth-blue. Top right=right earth-green.>>Bottom left= hot-white. Bot... | |
| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Also... I don't know what an RPTV is, but if it's a TV, that could be causing tube interference too if it's turned on?Patrick | |
| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Stew,What does the manual say about plugging into a power regenerator? I know that the Io manual specifically warns against plugging into any kind of AC conditioner or regenerator and says to plug directly into the wall.May not be true for the Rhe... | |
| Record Cleaner tbg,Sorry, just noticed this. I didn't mean to imply that nobody should ever compare products. But all of us audiophiles succumb to the "grass is greener" mentality, or upgrade-itis, or whatever you want to call it, when sometimes we should just b... | |
| Record Cleaner Disc Doctor for me. I ordered both the RRL cleaners from Galen Carol and used them carefully according to Brian's instructions and no, they don't do nearly as good a job as DD. Switching back (and switching to another new set of felt pads, vacuum ... | |
| Trying a turntable-it sounds crappy, what's up?? Lkdog,Don't be too hard on Twl. He's just giving you the cold hard reality. You've got an ancient TT, arm and cartridge. Chances are they need a lot of work to sound good.At the very least, the stylus on the AT is likely to be worn out. Very possi... | |
| Is the Teres a Thanks Thom - will examine in detail.Doug - what is 3M 2" shipping tape? I've done some searches and can't find it. I have problems with my splicing tape separating as well. Also maybe I'm misunderstanding, but surely you would want 1/2" shipping ... |
