| Need help solving hum problem I don't know what to tell you but i can relate. Have had similar problems with a DAC and specific preamp. Out of curiosity, is the Dodson an upsampler ? Sean> | |
| Against everything that high end cables stand for Derrick, as you might have gathered from some of my posts, i have always had a preference towards solid wire. I am intrigued by this three wire configuration though. How are these hooked up ? Two positives / one negative, two negative / one positi... | |
| Which used tubed pre-amp & turntable for convert? Can't say for sure as i've never heard a T-2, but Nelson's earliest preamps were all known for sounding bright and analytical. One relatively honest reviewer categorized them as being "painstakingly accurate". He ranked the Threshold 10 very highl... | |
| what's so special about center speaker ? I agree with all of the points made. It is not that uncommon in multiple driver designs for one or more of the speakers to be wired out of phase with the others.I would also like to clarify that i "mistook" the "opposite acoustic polarity" as bein... | |
| calling all audiophiles My brother is using an isolation transformer on all of his line level components to great effect. Can't really do this with a good sized amp though, as most "reasonably priced" isolation transformers are relatively low current. As to MOV's absorbi... | |
| What Liquid in PAD interconnects? I agree with Albert. While i know that shipping might be a bit more from Singapore, sending them back to the factory for an "annual inspection" and "oil change" seems like cheap insurance. That is in comparison to what these cables cost new or wha... | |
| Your "Budget Cable" recommendations, please...... I agree with Dekay's comments completely. Owning several different Forte' amps, feeding them with a tubed dac and knowing what Maggies sound like and will do, i will take his comments one step further: I would NOT recommend using Nordost speaker c... | |
| Mofi Returns for What & Why? Try sending your comments directly to Jim Davis at www.amusicdirect.com as he would be more than glad to listen. After all, he is in business to make money. He also realizes that if he can't give the customer what they want and do it in a friendly... | |
| 40 feet balanced between preamp and Levinson.... I would try CALLING the folks at LAT International and see what they can come up with for you. With that long of a run, you will encounter higher than normal series resistance and high frequency loss. While the balanced line will help to reduce th... | |
| Can you top this ? I see that kind of stuff on a daily basis. Not only does it make me mad, i feel sorry for the poor person that had that type of stuff pulled on them. What passes for a "professional modifier" or "tech" in the RF field nowadays is pretty sickening.... | |
| Speakers with bass response? Try taking a look at the thread below. Scott did a very nice job of compiling info for those that have never seen that specific magazine. It has a TON of info in it about subs. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1007327923&read&... | |
| Soudstage Height? Paul brings up some interesting points. Depending on the type of microphone used and the placement of each mic, i DO think that a sense of "height" is possible in recordings. This has to do with the polar pick-up pattern that the individual mic di... | |
| Burn-in question Have Dan build you some resistive shunts. This would be equivalent to a "dummy load" in an RF installation. You can simply plug these into the back of the player like regular rca plugs and they will present an acceptable load to the unit. You can ... | |
| Soudstage Height? You introduced at least TWO variables into the equation. Obviously, the amp was one and the interconnect was two. Where you had power feeding the amp from might be variable three. If the amp had not been used in a while or had fully settled in wou... | |
| Is my preamp dying a slow painful death? I'll second Bob's suggestion of a "funky" capacitor(s). If it does it every time or almost every time you turn it on, it should not be that hard to track down. That is, if it is just one problem and not several different yet interrelated problems.... |
