| CD vs Phono Volume Millercarbon is correct, but you do have options. One option is building a small box with a volume control pot and a couple of RCA jacks in it and plug it into the tape loop circuit of the preamp. Tweak it to match the CD volume, then hit the ... | |
| Electrovoice Duchess IV in California I found a pair of KLH speakers sitting on the curb not far from my house with a sign that said, FREE. I snagged them and fired them up. Yeah, they worked but they sounded as if the singers were in a deep well and just getting over a bad sinus c... | |
| Strange thing happened ... I have had the same problem in the past, too. Those little clips loose tension and sooner or later you will need to tighten them. | |
| Turn Table Cable Length I have a Grado Sonata 2, the one with the wooden body. I see they have a Sonata 3 out now, which is identical in appearance. In general though, all Grados are fairly insensitive to cable capacitance. I don't know at what they upper limit is ... | |
| API Power Wedge 112 You need to worry about digital noise far, far more than AC Main voltage as it changes a lot from hour to hour. I am not sure what the thinking is for a higher line voltage, since it is limited to VA by the transformer and you can't get somethin... | |
| What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac? Also, I believe Exact Copy will convert for you. A lifetime license is about $7 and it makes an exact WAV or FLAC file from your CD. I haven't used it to convert one format to another but you might give it a try. | |
| What is an easy way to convert wav files to Flac? You have another problem other than the file format. Roon should have no problem with WAV files, I use them all the time. Is hard drive space a problem? WAV does take up some HD space. I would contact the Roon service folks and discuss the p... | |
| Preamp thoughts- Conrad Johnson ET7 S2 V McIntosh C2600 In general, I prefer the CJ products over the McIntosh but I would have no problem putting a McIntosh tube amp in my system, which currently has CJ tube's. | |
| Some DACs I am Considering-Any thoughts? I can't comment on the models you mentioned, as I have not heard them in any setting. But I will say, never but never buy a DAC that is not 32 bit / 384KHz compatible, has a Femto Clock with very low jitter, and can handle any format shoved into... | |
| Nordost Heimdall 2 vs Wireworld Eclipse 8 vs Jorma Trinity Speaker Cable? Given everything you listed I think the only option for you is to try them and experiment. Some cable retailers let you audition them for either free or a nominal fee. | |
| Different volumes streaming Spotify That is because each recording is made at different volume levels and different amounts of compression. You are not doing anything wrong. The ideal case is Spotify modify their app so when you play a song at a volume level you like, it remembers... | |
| Phono line on receiver is always live. If you simply touched the outside of the shell on the cable, it should not make any noise. If it does, then you need a new cable because it is either defective or an incredibly poor design. | |
| This website has become S-L-O-W I have seen it as well. Perhaps the most recent Windows update had something to do with it as I just did the update and my CAD package seems to run slower. Then again, this is the only website that is slow on my machine. | |
| preamp for CJ premier 11A power amp I have a PV10 with phono stage and it excels with the Premier Five's. I would think any decent tube preamp would make them shine. | |
| Hafler effect setup - any concerns for a "ParasoundZonemaster2350" p-amp (or in general) Just thinking outside the box here - you might consider a second amplifier in a Class AB design just to handle the ambience. It doesn't have to be very powerful since you are subtracting the signals to get the ambience. A fifth to a quarter of ... |
