| Thinking about buying a different tube preamp... You should get all of that noise out of your system. Noise modulates with the music and ruins it. Send it back to the manufacturer, but get it done. Too bad | |
| VPI, Graham, Koetsu advice please The cure for your problem is an upgraded platter. Call VPI and get the new one (you'll probably need a bearing as well) | |
| Why do MM cartridges amplify more surface noise?? ...sounds like a resonance peak to me. I've heard that Ortofon sound fine....there are better, but you can easily live with the Ortofon. I have a Winfield....took forever to break in and is very critical about setup. Works beautifully now....work ... | |
| Phono stage w/automatic Load-Impedanance. My cartridge sounds best at 1000 ohms....tried 4 or 5 different settings... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Have you listened to your equipment through earphones? | |
| Audioquest Volcano vs Mont Blanc Yes...one time my favorite cables were Mont Blanc and Sky....until I heard the top of the line Wireworld stuff. To these ears they are perfect (until next year?) | |
| Vandersteen Seven Review No one is as good a John @ Audio Connections. I bought my 5A's there...now live in Arizona. I was going to revise my 5A's to carbons, but after hearing them (carbons)...I couldn't justify the money. I really found the Carbons so close to the 5A's.... | |

| Sound Lab vs Magnepan 20.7 It would be Maggies for ME......:) Since you are going to live with them, you must listen to both and decide for yourself | |
| Removing components from between the speakers Right you are Simao....makes a world of difference | |
| question about these turntables I had a RekoKut 2 speed belt drive with a Grado Lab tonearm attached....either an ADC II or Sonus Blue cartridge. In those days I just changed equipment like women (those days are gone)... I remember the sound was great..no reason to have changed.... | |
| Audioquest Water Actually the top of the line Audioquest is the WFLowe Signature. I thought Sky and Everest were fabulous in my system. I then auditioned the Signature which was absolutely awful. (Yes the cables were broken in...they just came from the NY Audio show. | |
| Where to start for me....actually, my Ipod Touch with my Entymotic Research earbuds is quite satisfying. | |
| Headphone Distortion? The problem is that your Marantz unit has a headphone output that is probably an op amp worth about 5.00 if that. If you can find a junction box to take advantage of the real Marantz sound...you will hear a world of difference. OK...or you can get... | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? David Saltz of Straight Wire now runs Wireworld. (at least I'm pretty sure of that) |
