| Does your system hate you when you ignore her? There must be something wrong with me or my system I've never had my system sound good with 5 minute warm up. Most of my a/b amps that double in power take 2 days, I leave them on 24/7. A day or 2 for tube CD player, solid state CD player is lef... | |
| Time to buy a class D amp? I'm new to class D. About a year ago I bought a modded ps audio trying to build second system. For me first thing I noticed it took 5 days 24/7 to sound right, It has to have a very good power conditioner and descent power cord or I feel your wast... | |
| Crackling and hiss - Preamp tubes not seated right? I agree with Elizabeth, I've had same issue many times with newly purchased nos tube from very reputable dealers. If you take the tube and lightly tap tube pins on countertop, take tube out of amp tap the tube with a pencil it should clear up prob... | |
| Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment I'm not saying you should get one , it's not the best by any means but some of these old amps have a non audiophile magic. I acquired a Mapleshade Scott LK48 not really knowing what it was. I brought it to work hooked it up to some old Paradigm fi... | |

| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today Yea, I was bummed they didn't work too. All the great reviews I was sure they were going to work. Maybe the minis aren't the way to go but my Preamp only weighs 15 pounds. I did pull some monitors out of the closet before I boxed them up and they ... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I put brass footers in place of Isoacoustic pucks and everything became transparent and refined. The DH Cones stayed under CD player. The blurred effect was gone with pucks gone everything had body again and the slow veiled sound was gone. I calle... | |
| tube recommendations for audio research LS-16? I believe ls16 has Infinity caps I had an amp long ago with those caps. They can sometimes be a little on the cool side in certain systems. You could add a bypass cap if you can solder. Remove it when you sell it and add it to next amp or your spe... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today Boxer what is the weight of your preamp and which pucks did you purchase. My Preamp only weighs 15 pounds and I found it sounds better with 3 mini pucks which is rated at 6 pounds each. Seem like I'm pushing it to the limits. Maybe I'll try 4 puck... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I'm going to put pucks back in and see if they settle in and leave them in for a week or so. I don't want to give up on them yet, I have 30 days. I'm putting them under a Bruce Moore Preamp with Jupiter copper foil signal caps and Duelund bypass ... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I placed the puck minis under tube Preamp it does sound like noise floor goes down maybe images a little better. I also feel like it loses a little air an slows things down a little too much. Loses a little jump factor. I haven't had time to let ... | |
| tube recommendations for audio research LS-16? Give your tubes 200 hours just to be safe. Did the person you bought tubes have a return policy. Brent will answer phone and will let you return tubes with a small restocking fee after so many days. He will guide you to the right tube not the high... | |
| Isoacoustic puck mini's or orea bronze for 12 pound tube preamp I had chance to put isoacoustic puck minis in and spend a small amount of time with them. I left DH Cones under CD player and placed pucks under Preamp, then later tried other set of pucks under phono pre. 3 pucks sound different than 4. I'm goin... | |
| tube recommendations for audio research LS-16? I think you may like a Valvo, can be a goldylocks tube with right amp, it's a little on warm side but not as much as a mullard. My Preamp is tubey and warm it likes the bugle boys best,more than other expensive 6922 type. I have the amprex gold pi... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I have Baltic birch layer sitting on old audioquest sorbathane Q's which sits on top of 3 inch maple. Next layer of Baltic birch sits on spikes with CD player on top with jumbo DH cones. Can I just buy springs at an industrial supply just curious ... |
