| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Dear @rauliruegas what you have said has made some sense to me. Currently have no tubes in the system aside from the second table which has a Project Phono Box DS. Now thinking to go the Halo JC3 route or get the Avid Pulses. Choices choices. Or m... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Thanks again guys. Now I am torn between the the Herron and the JC3. I am not based in the US so for me its one or the other. Have to decide and order. Parasound has a dealer local to me while for the Herron I would have to arrange on my own. The ... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 Thanks everybody for your responses. Looks like I will get the JC3. Seems to be the most recommended even though it does not have tubes. My front end is all SS no tube component at all. | |
| Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre Perazzi28 very limited selection available in my country. That's the price we pay for living in a third world country. In the 1000 to 2000 dollar range we have a lot of stuff. Macintosh has a local dealer as well as Wilson and B&W. The reason ... | |
| Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre Thanks for the input guys. I feel an update is needed from my side. I am not based in the US. The Ayre unit is with my dealer and the PS Audio unit would have to be imported. So having an in house demo is not possible. Our mkt is really small and ... | |
| Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre No its not the KXR Twenty. Could have it upgraded but the upgrade alone costs as much as the BHK. | |
| Cartridge Recommendation Thanks everyone. So its between the AT ART9 and the Dynavector XX2. The Soundsmith is not in contention as its not available to me. I will update once I have bought and played. | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise I have tried to disconnect the earth to worse results. The reason I have put in this separate earth is so that the audio equipment would be isolated from the rest of the house. It gets pretty hot here so we pretty much use AC year round and the lo... | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise Here goes. I live in Pakistan and the earth supplied by our utility is useless. All houses have there own grounding sunk about 12-18 feet into the earth into a copper plate with bare copper wire coming out of the ground and providing earthing to t... | |
| Acceptable Level Ground/Earth Noise Guys sorry did not mention I am not based in USA and laws are not the same and not as well enforced. How ever if this is a safety issue I could easily connect the new earth to the existing setup. My question remains. Is some level of hum part of a... | |
| LP Cleaning I want to thank all those who contributed to this discussion. As it turns out it was static that was causing the noise. A few zaps with my Milty and it's all good. Seems the drying was adding static charge. | |
| LP Cleaning Whart just to clarify I have the Clear Audio Smart Matrix machine and just use the Spin Clean Fluid. I do not have the spin clean it self. I have not tried to blow the dust of the record before cleaning. Absolutely right on best practices. Here is... | |
| LP Cleaning Thanks Astro for the input. I agree that it does seem the cleaner does introduce some static. I do have a Milty Zero stat but did not use it on records fresh from the cleaning session. Dont know why but the thought never crossed my mind. I will tr... | |
| Krell Help The back of the amplifier looks similar but not exactly the same. It does not have a balanced input. Just 2 RCA jacks labelled inverted and non inverted. Is there a way I could link a picture?I did leave the amps powered up from the back and just ... | |
| Speaker Placement Guys thanks for your responses and some very helpful tips. Tim to answer your questions. The wall behind the speakers is the 16ft wall. The carpeted area is where the speakers are placed. It extends beyound the speakers about 6ft towards the liste... |
