| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Regarding my last post, I think I would sell one of my 2-channel amps and get a 3-channel model, then use a powered sub. I could use a separate preamp/processor to control it all. I would want decent audio quality from the center speaker and surro... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Sugarbrie,That sounds intriguing -- how do you control volume to all the channels that way? Do you run the 2-channel preamp outputs (from the HT receiver) into the front high-quality amp and then program the receiver to power the center and surrou... | |
| Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile??? Hi Argent,Thanks for the tips. I am presently using some Yamaha 3-way tower speakers, with aluminum-cone drivers that sound pretty good, though I may get something mo-better. Speakers are not really the problem; finding a good-sounding amp/process... | |
| Help My DAC sounds very noisy..... Supakit -- are you sure you didn't inadvertantly plug the DAC into the moving-magnet input of your preamp? If not, using a passive preamp might work out well. Also, you should consult EAD because the output level may be either user- or factory-adj... | |
| does linking two cables degrade sound? I would think that using female to female RCA adaptors to connect the cables would result in less loss than incorporating a splitter-box with switching -- so long as the adaptors are of decent quality. | |
| Monster Alpha 2 Cart--What is it? Oh Yeah, it's stylus is eliptical, and it weighs 5.7 grams. | |
| Monster Alpha 2 Cart--What is it? I owned/used an Alpha II for quite a while. It's a nice sounding Moving Coil design that cost $650 originally. It's a medium output cartridge, about 1.5mV that should work well with many moving-magnet phono stages. Any load between about 300 ohms ... | |
| Pink noise whine hiss on Levinson 333 Regarding my earlier advice, maybe you should unplug for 5 minutes or more because the ML 333 probably has a lot of power supply storage capacitance. | |
| Pink noise whine hiss on Levinson 333 I don't know about the relay pop, you may want to make sure that the amp and AC outlet it's connected to are properly grounded. Beyond that, if the amp produces audible hiss without the inputs connected and the speakers aren't super high efficency... | |
| Preamp DAC for my Thiel 7.2 ML333 Tai, I'd go with the used BAT-5i in your situation, I think that would work really well with the other gear. Instead of the older Audio Alchemy gear, I'd go with either a Bel Canto DAC-1 (or 1.1), or a Perpetual Technologies P-3A with the ModWrigh... | |
| What s your latest buy? Happy with it? My two latest purchases have been front-end pieces. I bought a Michell Gyro SE II with OL RB250 arm and a Benz Ruby 2 cartridge and I am exstatic with the improvement that made. My vinyl collection never sounded so good. I also had my Perpetual Te... | |
| Bi-wiring mishap Khan-man, you're welcome -- I'm glad I could help out -- but you've got to be more careful. I mean, what if after your girlfriend flipped over the sofa she had hit her head on some Valid Points? Not a pretty picture, is it? If this sort of thing i... | |
| Bi-wiring mishap To be honest, I don't find this funny at all; it is tragic. If that poor girl has any sense at all she will get a new boyfriend. How STUPID can you get? Man, if I did something that dumb I sure wouldn't broadcast it to the world. So how many of yo... | |
| swans ribbon speakers? I've heard/owned the M1s and liked them quite a bit. The tweeter is smooth, airy, and detailed. Go for it! | |
| Need TT setup Help Hmmm, that's curious -- are you sure the platter's correctly installed and seated on the bearing? I think the best advice would be to contact the US distributor, Artech in VT. Maybe they can help. My guess is that thicker spacers and longer screws... |
