| Mysterious hum in system... I believe Distortion is right. I did the same connection before on my Theta Dreadnaught which has both RCA and XLR inputs. Flipping the input selection switch did not completely switch out one of the input and it caused hum. It sounds like the Bry... | |
| Any Hagerman Trumpet and Acoustech PHD owners? Dmailer,Are you using the silver S&B step-up or the copper one? Do you know what the differences are between the one offered by Bent Audio and the one by Hagerman?Have you done tube rolling? What are you using at the moment? | |
| Room size and dimensions I have been dreaming about have a 11'h x 18'w x 29'l (golden ratio) room for years, maybe one day... | |
| 50/60 hz conversion The only way I can think of is to use a power regenerator like the PP-300 from PS Audio or the SDS from Vpi. Both of them cost about $1000 new or $600 used. Don't know if that meet your definition of economic way. | |
| Sony DVPS9000ES & Hybrid SACDs I also experience this problem from time to time. I found that if I clean the ring area between the center hole and the data area, often time the disc will be playable. If the problem get worse, I will be sending it in for repair. | |
| Own Piega p10 thinking Vandersteen 5 or 5A Nicknapster,I am surprised that you like both the P-10 and the Vandy 5 because they sound very different. The midrange of the P-10 has a kind of ringing tone, very pretty but I feel it is a bit colored. The high frequency of the P-10 is also more ... | |
| Difference between polarity and phase w/sub The phase switch for a sub is used for avoiding bass suck out around the sub's crossover point so that the sub can be better integrated with the main speakers. You will need to play a test CD that contains test tone. Or use the build-in tone gener... | |
| Best CD/DVD Player with "Variable audio Output" Why not just add a pair of attenuators to whatever player you are using?http://www.tweakaudio.com/Ultimate%20Attenuators.html | |
| The best DAC for the money If you don't need 24/96, I would recommend a used Theta Gen Va. | |
| New Vinyl Playback Technology I am curious. I have never listened to one and would like to know more about it. I believe "Plays LPs like a CD player!!" referred to its ability to skip tracks that is a convenience I really like. I also like the fact that it won't put wear on LP... | |
| Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000? I have never used this table so I don't know how well it works. But in general, DD tables are noisier than belt drive because the motor is directly connected to the platter.Also, there was theory that the constant micro speed adjustments made by t... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Rather than putting them behind the speakers, try putting them on the side wall at the first reflection point. Since they are 24x24, I think 2 or at most 3 on each side should be enough. After that, put 2 or 3 in the middle of the front wall and 1... | |
| Voltage on PS Power plant make a difference? I guess it is equipment dependent. In my case there was no difference that I could detect. | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Twl was right. I bought a Micro Seiki MA-505S (S for all silver wires) tone arm in the 70's for less than $100. It was second from the top of the line from Micro Seiki at that time and I bet it would still better any arm under $1000 today. If ther... | |
| Best DVD Burner for Computer? I have a Sony DRU-510UL, the external version. It is very fast, very quiet, and reliable.I did encountered two minor problems so far. First, I cannot get it to work with Memorex DVD-RW media. I solved that by switching to Philips DVD+RW.The second... |
