| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner House was built in 1930. It is stone and has plaster walls so it is impossible to rout a dedicated circuit on the second floor. The wiring is all BX shielded cable.I am done with experimentation and tweeking. I just want to listen to music, not sc... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner UPDATE: I tried everything that Victor said from Bat, I moved the TT to every room in the house, I even bought copper tubing to shield the phono cable. All this to no avail. I am beyond aggravated, the oldies station is loud and clear. I even thin... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner Update from Victor at BAT: I was told that if I attach a ceramic capacitor with a value of .01 to the grounds of the Phono Stage's RCA inputs to the grounding lug on the base of the Phono Stage, the radio will not play through the unit. Hopefully ... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner I have used clamp on magnets, ferrite clamps and powerwraps. Unfortunately power wraps were the only ones that made a significant difference. However, the station can still be heard. I think it is just as annoying if it is faint in the background ... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner Thanks Musicslug. I am going to shield the phono cables with bendable copper tubing and fool around with the grounding of the TT and phono. Hopefully this will work because nothing else has. I am going to call Victor at BAT about whether the Phono... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner Why my stylus? Is it just Shelter 501 or all MC carts? | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner Jimbo3:If it as easy as you say, I will try it. However... what is the best shielded phono cable? Not the best phono cable but the one with the best shielding. I am going to disconnect the rega phono cable from the tonearm and hardwire a new cable... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner JFRECH:I think you are right and it is the cable. When I move the cable and/or the TT, the station becomes louder/softer. However, it is hardwired. I guess I should sell the table and try to buy a decent table w/ detachable wiring so that I can pu... | |
| Please Help My TT is acting like a tuner The oldest station stinks. All I hear is Mustang Sally. Seems like Wilson Pickett's Greatest Hits is the only album the station owns... VERY ANNOYING.Anyway. It is pretty upsetting that rega would choose to hardwire their tables with a wire that a... | |
| VIVA INT amp I have a Viva 300B integrated amp and love it. I am using it with Galante Symphony speakers, BAT phono and Rega p9 with incredible results. Best bass I have heard from a 300b SET. Lots of fun to listen to. Anyway, there is a direct input on the VI... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for Rega P9 I have a new P9 w/ RB 1000 using a BAT PK5 phono stage and VIVA 300B Integrated. I was previously using a Dynavector 20x but last month I upgraded to the Shelter 501. The 501 an awesome cart, sounds perfect with the table and the dynamics are scar... | |
| Your Opinions Please Regarding VPI TT's Thanks for your responses, I think that I am leaning heavily toward the Rega Planar 9. It comes with a power conditioner, tonearm cable and a terrific tonearm. I have not listened to the Aries v. Planar 9, however, my dealer tells me that he belie... | |
| Your Opinions Please Regarding VPI TT's Thanks for the info. I am also considering the Rega Planar 9 which is also in the price range of the Aries. It will be the most expensive, but may also be the best option. I am scared of upgrades in general and think that if I have to spend 1000 t... | |
| Transport Recommendations Please. Thanks for your recommendations. Do you think that a stock DVP-S7700 Sony DVD player would be a better transport then the Rega? | |
| Integrated amp for less than$2500,your suggestion I have a Metronome Technologie MT-100 Signature integrated amp for sale on Audiogon. It is a dual mono 100 watt class A amplifier that is very musical as well as dynamic. I was using it with Soliloquy 5.3 speakers and a YBA cd-3 cd player. I would... |
