| CIA D200's Vs. Odyssey Stratos Extreme Monos ? Musicalmaniac, without trying to come across as rude, I have no idea what you are saying in your first post. | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 Jea48: I remember one of your previous threads concerning the order of importance and yes, that's how I have them. I run the tube dampers about 25% the way down from the top. I didn't play around with placement much as the concensus seems to be to... | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 I finally got around to working out the problem today. SUCCESS!! The problem was due to noisy tubes. I had one very noisy tube and one of my spare tubes of the same type, Amperex Jan Green, was also very noisy. Luckily I had a few more good spares... | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 No update yet. Hope to get to it this week. | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 I've been tied up this week. Plan to swap out all the tubes in the next day or two. I'll update the thread with my findings. | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 One more piece of information. The hissing doesn't start until about 1 minute after the input is anything other than SSP. Assuming the starting point was the SSP or coming out of standby. This happened every time after I swapped out a tube trying ... | |
| preamp tube hiss from my SF Line 1 Brf: I swapped out one tube at a time using an extra tube I had. I've actually tried a few "extra" tubes, swapping out only one a time and get the same result. My next step is to put all six stock tubes in it and see what happens. Jea48: You wrote... | |
| Linksys Music Bridge I picked it up earlier in the week. Initial results were not good, but I was using a cheap optical cable instead of my AZ silver coax cable. The sound was dead and lifeless compared to the same CD out of my denon player. I hope to test it out some... | |
| Dk design group ref. mk11 sound failure Have you contacted the manufacturer directly to see what they have to say? I would think they would know best. I've been working two out of warranty issues the past few weeks, one is audio based for a used component I bought used here on Audiogon,... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Nice :) | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Kublakhan: In regards to your plan to layout your storage as a 2 disk stripe, I wouldn't recommend it. Striped disks offer no data protection with the benefit being increased I/O. I doubt if the disk I/O requirements for audio would push the limit... | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler Keep the Mahlers. I had (have)the VA Bachs for 3 years and upgraded to the VSA 4jrs almost a year ago. My comparisons are based on these two speakers and have spent a great deal of time listening to the VA line up through the Beethovan's. I've nev... | |
| Jeff Rowland with Rel sub I have a similar situation that didn't work out very well for me. I have a Storm III and have been using it for a couple years attached to an Odyssey Stratos amp with good results. I picked up an H20 S250 amp, which is one of the new digital ICE b... | |
| m & k subs ? M&K still make great HT subs. I had an MX 150, but listened to the 350 driven by big Mac gear in the dealer's "Hi-end" room. I was floored and bought the 150 on the spot. I have no idea how it was hooked up, I didn't know much then. I sold it ... | |
| Parasound, McCormick, Odyssey - best under $1000 I'm using an Odyssey Stratos with my VR4jr's with good success. I haven't tried either of the other amps listed, but considered one of the McCormacks at the time. |
