| Hissing and Hum through speakers The hum is probably a ground loop. I don't think the hiss is AC related. You might try a different set of speakers to see if your still getting the hiss. Are the speakers new? The reason the hum went down with the ipod is because it runs on a batt... | |
| Hissing and Hum through speakers What speakers are you using and how sensitive are they?If they are close to 100db then you may need a quieter amp. | |
| Hissing and Hum through speakers Can you borrow a different preamp to see if its the preamp?If one of your sources has a volume control or level attenuater you could bypass the preamp and see if that is the problem.Another cause could be a ground loop. Try lifting the ground on t... | |
| Solid State Amps for Quad ESL 57? If you really want to use a ss amp. The JC-1s little brother the A21 is much cheaper and sounds excellent on my Innersound Kayas. | |
| The Most Musical Class A/B Power Amplifier?? I've had good results with my Aesthetix Calypso preamp and the Parasound Halo A21. They work well together. | |

| Thinking about moving to a tube pre - suggestions. As to the question about tube replacement. Power tubes in amplifiers need to be replaced about once a year, depending on amplifier design and how often you use them. Tubes in preamps often last 3 to 4 years or more, also depening on design and usage. | |

| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... All these auditions were only about 15 mins long. So its hard to come to any meaningful conclusion. I had a 3 day pass and still missed some stuff I wanted to hear. Also its near impossible to get the best sound out of a system in such a short per... | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... Dave, Yes I meant The Music. | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... I thought the Kaiser speakers had great potential, but the room they were in was an echo chamber. I could hear my own voice echo even at normal speech levels.Rooms I liked in no particular order.Oswald MillsSoundlabClassic Audio Reproductions in t... | |
| Parasound JC1 or Spectron Musician 3 se Hi Guys, I ended up getting a used Innersound DPR-500. The DPR-500 has much more control over the panels than my A21 did. Drums sound much more realistic now. Its not bright like the former Innersound Killowatt monos I auditioned. Also I auditione... | |
| Halcro with electrostats? Did anyone hear the Halcros at RMAF with the new Acoustic Zen speakers? I thought that setup sounded quite dull. Also lacking dynamics. They were tri-amped with DM-88s I believe. It didn't make any sense to me. I guess the room just wasn't working... | |
| Preamp recommendations up to $2000 If you could stretch your budget about $400, an Aesthetix Calpso used would be really nice. |
