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 ... | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today I find that interesting, that is why I left cones under CD player it is very clear and lively with out being bright in the slightest since I adjusted cone placement. Very enjoyable to listen to and don't want to remove them. Pucks will be in Frida... | |

The jumbo DH cones are still under Exemplar Audio tube CD player, haven't had time to try under Preamp. I will leave them in CD player until mini... | |
| Isoacoustic puck mini's or orea bronze for 12 pound tube preamp Thank you that helps knowing they do work on components and are close to Orea. I think I'll try the mini's first, there cheap and get 8 feet. I wonder if they will beat out DH Cones I really like them. I'll give them a shot see what happens. | |
| Opinions Golden Sounds DH Cones, I just bought some,they came in today So I should remove the paper off base of cone. Why were they put there and what is sonic improvement? Can they be put back on if I prefer paper on. Cones are on maple platforms. | |
| TRL WON'T GIVE ME MY AMP Tonykay it's a little hard to buy the gear you want used locally. I'm vey trusting and before PayPal was popular I was sending large sums of money with USPS money orders buying off Audiogon. Luckily I never got burned, there are good people out th... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Sounds like a good plan. Your PS Audio has an input impedance of 100k. Usually good rule of thumb to start off with is 1 to 10 ratio when picking a preamps output impedance . Just tell the shop you are demoing a preamp your amps input is 100k. If ... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Ron, I think that is your problem. I did that long ago, my Preamp was in the shop being upgraded and ran an Integra receiver pre out to an the McCormack DNA and was unlistenable. Just weak and bland, no soundstage. If you have under $1000 to spend... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Ron are you using marantz as a preamp to your ps audio amp? If so that may be the problem. If so pre and hca2 don't match up impedance properly. If you can find a preamp within your budget first that is route I would go. Tube Preamps mates well wi... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Get schematics from ps Audio they have awesome customer service and the answer phone and will send you schematics on the spot. Then email schematics to parts Connextion and Sonicraft and they will guide you through mod. | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Sure, if you want to give it a shot start off just changing out the 4 signal coupling caps. 2 caps are run in series for each channel to total 4 signal caps. Back when this amp was being modded everyone was using black gates but they are no longer... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Are you leaving amp on 24/7 if not it sounds like crap. I've never seen an amp take so long to come around after sitting up like HCA-2. McCormack and other a/b amps took 1 to 2 days to warm up. HCA-2 can take 4 to five which I've never seen an amp... | |
| Looking for amp $1000 or under Your HCA-2 can be a very nice amp with a very few mods. It has its flaws in stock form but after mod is a totally different amp. I own a HCA-2 with full blown Reference Audio Mods from back in the day and love it. I also owned a McCormack DNA-1 ... | |
| Phono Cart Impedance Question You mentioned it may be a tube issue have you tried tapping the tube pins on countertop lightly or tap glass bottle with pencil eraser. I have same issue sometimes with my broken in or newly purchased NOS tubes. Some metal flakes can be on interna... |
