Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
OK, the Telefunkens arrived today. Now mind you, the Rhea has been consistently quiet so it came as no surprise that I did not hear the ringing which I had been hearing when the Telefunkens went in. What I'm a little disappointed with is the fact ... 
Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
Patrickamory, I had earlier spoke with Jim White about the power regenerator and he simply suggested I try listening to the unit plugged directly into the wall because of the size of the transformer. I do not have it plugged into one of the regene... 
Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
I have the Rhea plugged into a PS Audio P500 power regenerator, as I do virtually all of my components. I tried going directly into the wall receptacle, but that did not kill the noise either. I guess the Rhea, which is my only piece of tube equip... 
Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
Rushton, still don't have the new tubes but perhaps you can explain why I would be getting ringing in both channels on some days but not others. For example, last night I had a few friends over to listen to the system. Of course, the ringing was p... 
Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
The intermittent noise I've been hearing I think might best be described as tube "ringing", a high pitched microphonic whistlelike sound. I thought I had the noise licked, but it resurfaced today. It can only be heard at moderate to high volumes. ... 
Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ?
Rushton: Thanks for your thoughtful and detailed response. Oddly enough, the noise I was hearing was not present last evening. I would not think this so strange, except the hissing sound was heard on at least three consecutive days before that. I'... 
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Count me among the converted! I received the samples which Joe so graciously offered to send me. I must say after following this post I was somewhat skeptical about applying Paul's product to my records, but my collection,as impressive as it may b... 
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Cello: Would I be well advised then to reserve Premiere for a one time application to new LPs and stay with whatever solution I find best works for removing dust, dirt, debris from older records? 
What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean?
Well, received my aerosole can of Premiere today. I have not had an opportunity to compare it to the others I've tried in terms of general cleaning and overall sonic improvement. I did, however, try to clean the mold off the record that was the im... 
Aesthetix Rhea owners
Thanks, I figured it was normal but I thought I would check. I've had an incredible run of bad luck with my equipment of late and I guess it has me paranoid. 
Power cord recmd. sought for Audiomeca Enkianthus
Pgleekel: I actually brought the Omega home to audition. I never hooked it up. Much too delicate for my tastes. The thin wire connecting to the wood box was enough for me to see. I was lucky I managed to wrap it up without damaging it. I know I sa... 
What are the best live acts?
There is one singular act which stands far above the rest.....Peter Gabriel. His live show was a visual and musical extravaganza. 
Jazz Recommendations
I'm a relative novice, having just begun to explore the world of Jazz. Of the 50 or so titles I now own, by far,and by a wide margin, the best selection is Wayne Shorter's JU JU. 
Upgrade AVP or buy outbd DAC for improved 2 ch.
Audioengr, when you say you recommend getting a better active line stage, do you mean better than what is in the AVP or better than the Aesthetix Janus, which I was contemplating?
