| Component grounding @atmasphere -- Thanks for this. You're right, it's complicated. (You are also right that the grounding post made no difference.) I'm starting to wonder if the problem has more to do with the DAC. As I wrote above, when I disengaged the preamp... | |
| Component grounding @williewonka -- I tried the RCA terminal solution but it had no effect. | |
| Component grounding @williewonka -- Yes I know it's not an ideal solution.I will try your suggestion to run the wire to the RCA terminal. | |
| Component grounding @williewonka -- Thanks, Steve, I'll try that. The amp has a three-prong connection. Defeating the ground prong with the cheater plug made the hum go away.Something funny happened yesterday. The integrated has a function that allows you to bypass t... | |
| Component grounding Thanks for the helpful input. I introduced a 'new' integrated into my system and a hum appeared. In fact, I had owned this same model integrated about 10 years ago and seem to recall a hum at that time too. My tech friends assert that there are no... | |
| Wywires platinum or Wireworld Silver Eclipse, speaker cable Truthfully, the Silver or Eclipse series is more realistic for my budget, and I've been told that they are quite close to their most expensive siblings. That's a good idea, to ask Wywires for a demo. | |
| Wywires platinum or Wireworld Silver Eclipse, speaker cable Cookies?! That could very well be the deciding factor with me. | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification This is also helpful. I don't plan to move away from tubes but I do try to look out for SS gear that can perform most like tubes -- if for some reason I had to go SS down the road. Heat, for example. Thanks, I'll be interested to hear how the JL C... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification "I always get sucked into the downsize/simplify mode, but then you have those magical music experiences where the system sounds so good and immersive that the experience is imprinted in your memory. And that's why I can never consistently downsiz... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Thanks, eaglejo! That's very encouraging. Silly question maybe, but does it seem like the driver is working harder? Like, is it trying to produce the bass that the bottom unit is not producing? I've also spent a lot of time thinking about how to i... | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification eaglejo, thanks. Also curious, how do you feel the Bhaava compares to the Trishna? | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification The name of the game these days is Simplify! I don't have a sub output, so the sub solution wouldn't be much less cumbersome than the power cords. Maybe I need to go in a different direction. | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification "And, what is wrong with power cords anyway? They are an ancient druid symbol of male virility."Sign me up! | |
| Rethm speakers, bass amplification Eaglejo, with the bass modules disconnected, do the drivers produce any bass at all? | |
| Cary 300 integrated, Devore speakers The Cary has a 4/8 ohm switch.I've researched the minimum power but haven't found it. If you come across any information. I'd appreciate it. It was several years ago at least that I wrote to John Devore. I'm sure he's much busier these days. |
