Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
I was told that the problem stemmed from very long earth tracks on the circuit board for the single ended inputs causing some kind of differntial voltage ?? between the channels.Balanced cables did not cure this.Way too technical for me. The 'buzz... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Hi Greg,Had protracted contact with them over a period of 8 months but it seems impossible for them to accept that there could be a problem with one of their amps.Ship it back & we'll fix was Nelsons ripost - yeah at my expense.I won't bore yo... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
George,Yeah your right but it doesn't mean we have to like it.Post a bit antagonistic inspired by the year long saga of trying to get the Pass Labs fit for purpose.Came from their factory with a clean bill of health - one year, two engineers, new ...

Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Rocking now,I was having a bit of a laugh.In all seriousness, I find some of the major players (that I have heard)to be something of an anticlimax.I've dealt with some hifi Gods who are arrogant beyond belief and some of their dealers who would ma... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
El G,I suppose you'll have another rattle to chuck out of the pram?The joy of having things with a 'puddle' under them, is if you are in any way handy, it becomes a labour of love to make it not have a puddle under it, then driving it to McDonalds... 
Subtlety ? do any American amps do it?
Hi Guys,I had a few glasses before posting but it had the desired effect. I'm sure there are loads of fabulous american amps,shame I don't get to hear very many.I'm using an Audio Mirror pre and agree, for the money, it's marvelous (it's actually ... 
Simple guitar songs for beginning musician
WWWWWoooo Piezo,I've been attempting to play for 30 years & all that stuff was way beyond me. Saying that I was never very serious, the practice bit was easy but learning all the theory was not on the agenda - I had enough 's--t' to study to m...

Check out www,danmansmusic.comThey have a free library of 1000s of songs/lyrics/tablaturewhich will save you buying songbooks.Not sure what to suggest but suggest not the Beatles nor Dylan.People always think they're both easy. To my limited abili... 
Carbon Fibre boards for Linn?
Belated posting 0n the Cetech,Got a cetech chassis a while ago and it is imo, one of the cheapest routes to getting really nice sounds from a Sondek.It really cleans up the bass, seems to focus the frequency range from top to bottom and improves i... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Hi Sean/Aceto,All this about the Ringmat being a band aid?I have no axe to grind other than I use them on two vastly differing tables.I have tried all sorts of mats and still prefer these to anything I have tried(on two of my tables).I agree they ... 
Anyone use a Ringmat on a TT
Hi there,Sorry, I don't go into in depth analytical postings but I use Ringmats on both my Roksan Xerxes and my Linn Sondek.Far cleaner sound than the standard felt mats.Tighter bass, better detail & staging.I have never had any problems with ... 
Morch DP6 and vertical damping - pros & cons??
Hi there,No experience of the Morch but after to speaking to the designer, I decided to try damping fluid once more in my Kuzma Stogi S.Initial attempts lead me to use it undamped with my zyx Airy 11.Other changes to the system have made it a lot ... 
Can I mount a Rega Arm on my Linn Basik turntable
Hi Rick,the only other arm I know that fits a linn cut-out perfectly is the old Mission 774 LC.I have one of these and it's a way better made arm than any of the cheap Linn arms. No bearing issues and sounds very nice.Some Kuzma arms fit the linn ... 
Can I mount a Rega Arm on my Linn Basik turntable
Hi Rick,the geometry is slightly different and chances are you would have to drill the body of the deck as the Rega sits further back.I can't recall the exact effective lengths but think the holes would overlap. Using an armboard of sorts onto the...
