| how to get rid of hum Running a ground wire from the amp to the center screw on an AC outlet sometimes works. Using a cheater plug to float the ground also helps on occasion. This is a system dependent problem. Begin as Bob suggests by plugging in in various sequences ... | |
| VPI ARMBOARDS??? I don't think they do, I am a VPI dealer and they are not on their current price sheet. I just became one again after a lapse of 14 years so I don't know when they stopped making them. I have an acrylic one that is factory cut for SME that I would... | |
| Amp: Integrated - Used; - Sub $750 Help :- Musical Fidelity, Creek, YBA | |
| Rega P3-24..........w/ Exact or Dynavector 10x5 ? Turning up the gain on your preamp will not stress your amplifier. What you need to do first is to contact Rogue and ask them if 2.5 mV is enough to drive your amp to full volume. If it is not case closed. If it is you can ask their advice, you do... | |
| Anyone used the jennings cd stylus scale Is yours the one that looks exactly like a CD? It is the JS-CD-100. When I sent you the email I had lost the site and I just found it again. It is supposed to be accurate to .01. I ordered one anyway just to be able to freak out my friends who are... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? My experience and reading make me believe that the powering up and down produce more wear. I have transistor amps 25 years old I leave on all the time. I have never heard of heat being a factor in amp deterioration . I have often heard of an amp g... | |
| Should an audio system be left on at all times? I have always understood that leaving a solid state amp on all the time lengthens it's life, I leave mine on. | |
| mono versus stereo ampflication A compromise is a "Dual Mono" Stereo amp on one chassy. In the most extreme case you would have 2 power cords showing the two amps share only the case. The advantage of this approach is that it gives better separation while saving on cost of anoth... | |
| Dali Helicon 300 + Rel Stadium 3 or Euphonia MS 4? I have found the Musical Fidelity equipment to be good, I use the TriVista 21 decoder and the NuVista M3 amp. | |
| What tonearms are compatible with a Scoutmaster? AudioFeil is quite right, the table and arm are critical. I have just become a VPI dealer again after a long lapse so I don't know the new line as well as I did the old. On the Scoutmaster you are limited to VPI arms to the best of my knowledge as... | |
| Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1? Blue is fully warmed up. The other colors indicate how close it is to full warm up. I was recently auditioning it in a friends system and he insisted on listening right away. He began by telling me how bad it was and as it warmed up he liked it be... | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. I should have included the old saying, " The wider you open the window the more dirt flies in." There is no way good equipment can improve the sound of a bad record. Good equipment reveals more of what is on the record. Garbage in, garbage out. I ... | |
| Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me. If you play a badly recorded record on a good system it will sound like a badly recorded record. A good system does not make a bad record sound better. In my former days as an audio dealer I was often ask for systems that would make everything sou... | |
| Looking For Someone That Machines Knobs Didn't Blue Circle offer wood knobs at one time or have I confused them with someone else? | |
| Used MF Trivista 21 or Benchmark Dac1? No , I don't think they will. My 21 sounds a little brighter than my all transistor Audio Synthesis DAX. Not unpleasant, just more detailed. The 21 is still a top decoder and very well built. It has the potential to be modified into an even higher... |
