| Mark Levinson's Guide to Better Sex Tireguy,How did you land that gig and is your firm looking for any new employees with writing/editing experience?Excuse me while I prepare my resume.;-D | |
| sssibilancccce... sssibilancccce could also be related to improper VTA or anti-skating adjustments, or simply, to worn record grooves. If your TT has an arm height adjustment, to set the VTA, I'd raise the arm height a bit and see what that does. Likewise, playing ... | |
| Jumpers on B&W CDM 1 Ditto on the B&W biwire! Toss the jumpers! | |
| Microacoustics 2002e cartridge I used to have one back in the 70's. I think it was under $100 new, at the time, which was expensive for a moving magnet. It received good press and competed with the better Shure and Stanton cartridges of that era. I'm sure it will still sound de... | |
| Please help me tame the bass beast I don't know what you could do acoustically that wouldn't take a lot of trial and error on your part. But you could probably fix the problem easily via a digital processor like the low-cost Behringer 8024, or a more expensive TacT product like the... | |
| Innersound ESLs Amplifier It is clearly an excellent choice. It has a lot of "pop" exceeding many other amps in dynamic capability and its ability to throw a huge open soundstage. Plus it's rock stable, very quiet, and reliable. | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com Well, well, well:I've been listening to my DI/O all morning, freshly modified by Bolder Cable Company and I have to say that I am floored by how good this DAC sounds. There is no question in my mind that it easily outmaneuvers my ModWright/Perpetu... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com I unpacked my freshly modified DI/O today and saw that Wayne returned all my old parts in a zip-lock bag. He replaces a lot more parts than I even realized -- IC chips, a lot of electrolytic caps, resistors, diodes, and the cheapo RCA jacks (digit... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com Doug,I just received my ART DI/O back from being modified by Wayne of Bolder Cable Co., and will be trying it in my system shortly. After seeing the list of mods he performs for that $200 price I have to agree that it's a very sweet deal indeed. I... | |
| How much DC is considered safe? Bob,I tried your suggestion about using the input shorting plugs and retaking the measurements. Curiously, with the shorting plugs both amps measured 4 to 5 mV higher DC than without the plugs. I don't know why that should be, but it's what I got. | |
| How much DC is considered safe? Richard,Thanks for that bit of knowledge; it makes sense to me. I remeasured the amps today after playing around with them a bit and now they both measure under 20mV. So it would appear that they will be safe enough to use. I will be in touch with... | |
| How much DC is considered safe? Thanks guys. I think I'm fairly safe at the level of DC the amps exhibit, but was just wondering at what DC voltage threshold would one need to be concerned?If anyone here can answer that, by all means do so, otherwise I may do as Mr. Clueless sug... | |
| Help/Major Problem Make sure that both rear power connectors are properly seated. And if you own headphones, you could try them in the headphone jack -- if the phones work properly then most likely the problem is not in the preamp. | |
| DTIPro 32 on the Blink Why don't you try a different digital cable before you move on? | |
| speaker phase Off hand, I don't know of any source components with inverted phase, although I suppose it is possible that some tube DACs or CD players do invert. If such is the case it should be plainly stated in the manual. When in doubt, contact the manufactu... |
