| Anyone using the TW Acustic Raven or AC in ATL? Leman,Great; what did you replace with the Raven? Is that a One or an AC? What's your entire rig like? | |
| Anyone using the TW Acustic Raven or AC in ATL? Wow, no TW owners in the Atlanta Ga area? | |

| MC Output Voltage - Impact on Noise The Hovland website says, 530 | |
| MC Output Voltage - Impact on Noise I thought that the default factory loading for the HP-100 was 500? | |
| MC Output Voltage - Impact on Noise With my Hovland HP-100 at average phono listening levels I am typically at the noon to 2 o'clock position on the volume control, so moving to a .48mv output from a .30mv would move the control back to a typical range of 10 to straitht-up...correct... | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 The Hovland is unbalanced only. I believe that all the Audio Research pieces have both balanced and unbalanced. That would be an interesting trial too; use the Ref 5 and the Phono Ref or the PH7 in balanced mode. | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 That is correct, it is the P5xe. I'm not quite as ignorant as it may seem; I couldn't layout or interpret a tube or a solid state circuit if my life depended upon it but I do know what sounds good...I'm definitely not a technician so before I plug... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tried the Cowboy Junkies', Trinity Revisited on vinyl yet? A fantastic record! Sounds just like Margo is in the room signing and you can hear all of the reverberation of the Trinity Church, rich and organic. Wonderful! | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 I spent the last few hours this evening comparing the excellent Ayre P-5x phono running through the Hovland's tape monitor v.s. the internal phono. No comparison actually; I like the sound of the Hovland's internal much better. I will say that the... | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 Yes; interesting that you mention that. I actually asked Alex that exact question just the other day. I use horn speakers so I had the line stage gain reduction done on my HP-100 (down to 6 db). Manufactures always claim that gain reductions do-no... | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 Did not know that the phono in the 200 is SS. I still want to compare the internal phono and a couple of externals including the AR Ref 2. Hope to do that sometime after attending the RMAF this Oct. | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 I would agree to a point on that; the Hovland definitely falls on the warm side, but that is why I like it so much; it is the antithesis of 'analytical.' | |
| Running an External Phono with a Hovland HP-100 Thanks for the feedback. I'm pretty happy with the Hovland and especially happy with the phono. (I had the latest updates installed last year too)..It is a shame that they are out of business; I'm hoping someone else will pick them up and continue... | |
| How much difference does a phono stage make? Everything above makes good sense. What does your Scout sit on? When I had my Scout I definitely noticed performance differences depending upon the table/stand. I like the 4" solid maple platforms from MapleShade. |
