| Preamp recommendations for Aragaon Palladium amps? Those are good quality amps. I'd suggest anything that fits your budget in the used market from Conrad Johnson, Audio Research, Mark Levinson, or Bryston. The better Parasound preamps should work just fine with those as well. | |
| Looking for info on Livewire Black by Audioquest I suggest you simply contact Audioquest and talk to them. Odds are they have a cable that is very close to what you have and readily available. If you just need information, that would also be the place to find it in spades. | |
| Beveridge speaker owners in/near Chicago? That is an awesome loudspeaker! Lucky you to have a pair! I am surprised no other speaker manufacturer attempted to make a similar pair. It is a great concept! | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm Yes, I can see that. The mass of a tonearm has to decrease as the length increases. Most modern arms and certainly most carbon fiber arms are already low mass, so it becomes difficult for the mass of longer arms to compete. It was the floatin... | |
| Hafler effect setup - any concerns for a "ParasoundZonemaster2350" p-amp (or in general) That concept works for a non bridged amp configuration, it won't work for a bridged amplifier. Do note that when you do that, you are taking L&R channels and subtracting them, when you take L&R channels and add them you get mono. Subtra... | |
| It has returned I recently purchased three new phono cartridges and of the three I found the Audio Technica - VM760SLC Dual MM Phono Cartridge at $650 is truly an awesome cartridge. Detail, clarity, image, smoothness, articulate highs without hardness, truly a... | |
| Turn Table Cable Length It really depends on the cartridge and how much capacitance it can tolerate. Grado cartridges can typically tolerate a lot more capacitance than others. Yes, getting a second preamp next to the tonearm and then running a long cable from its ou... | |
| Best ultrasonic lp cleaner in 2020 and what surfactant best? @craig Nice review, thanks! I might have to spring for one. | |
| Dedicated line questions... Speaking of the Decware ZLC - I see it has line capacitors from line to earth on the secondary side. This negates the concept of "clean grounds" or "quiet grounds" that some manufacturers use, noting that others, such as Decware, do not follow... | |
| Dedicated line questions... @jea48 I see, thanks for the clarification. | |
| Dedicated line questions... This is an example of a isolation transformer, step down. Feed it 240VAC in and get 120VAC out at 2x the current capacity. https://talema.com/wp-content/uploads/datasheets/MD.pdf This is not a plug in product btw, this is either DIY or look f... | |
| Dedicated line questions... I have read through this post and I noticed some folks here use both lines from the distribution panel. That is, line 1, line 2, neutral, and earth, such as would be wired when using the Southwire 10 awg, 3 wire. Since line 1 and line 2 are opp... | |
| Micro Seiki DD30 Turntable I can't tell exactly what the problem is based on what you wrote but given that, it sure seems like a tonearm set up problem. I would start over again on the setup. | |
| SublimeAcoustic 3-way crossover I've been using a crossover of my own design four subwoofers for a very long time now. That LR, 4th order filter is the way to go, as far as filters go. I haven't heard this particular Xover unit but it appears to be designed very well and it i... | |
| Installing new wires in room with hardwood floors There are a lot of plug receptacle options at Parts Express . com I'd check with them, what you are trying to do is pretty straight forward. |
