| Best cartridge for '50 / 60 mono LP Grado makes mono cartridges. So does Konus/Miyabi and Lyra and others. What is your budget?? The Lyra Helikon Mono lists for US $2,195.The Grado from $80 (model MC+) to $130 (model ME+). The other one is the Miyabi Mono for $2,500. | |
| Transformer hum? Cheater plugs are for ground loop hums, which you hear through the speakers. Cheater plugs won't solve your problem if you have mechanical hum. Your transformers are humming inside the gear correct (Mechanical hum)??One term used to describe the c... | |
| Tuners and Antennas Sean is right about not getting a splitter with extra unused outputs. You lose some gain even on the unused outputs. Just noting that there are splitters that do not split evenly. Say a two way splitter loses 3.5 dB. There are some 3 way splitters... | |
| Transformer hum? Agree that it could be the power. I will add that the power could be coming in that way from the street. One sure way to solve it, if that is the problem, is to use an issolation transformer. Those power regenerator conditioners are similar. | |
| Tuners and Antennas Yes, you will lose some gain; but maybe not enough to ruin the sound. Also, the longer the cable, the more gain you will lose. Satellite quality RG-6 coax is worth the extra cost for long runs.. | |
| source disappointment If you picked your interconnect cables because they sounded good with your Panasonic; you may want to start over with cables.CD players are very cable dependent from my experience. Cables that make the Audio Note sound nice, could very likely brin... | |
| Hum coming out of subwoofer: Sounds like a ground issue if it is a power sub. I had the same thing happen with my REL sub. The REL has a third ground wire on the Neutrik cable. I had to change where it was connected to.If not a power sub, try lifting the ground on your power ... | |
| Turntable - Where do I start ? The Music Hall tables are a great way to start. They are already set up with a well matched cartridge, adjusted and ready to go. The models hit price points from $200 to $1700. You'll need to invest in a phono stage/preamp also and cables with the... | |
| best budget pre used There is a Cambridge Audio C500 that someone is selling here for $155 including the optional remote control which cost $50 by itself. The C500 is one of the nicest sounding super low cost preamps I've heard, that is modern in features like a remot... | |
| AR vs Cary vs Blue Circle vs... If it helps.... I am only familiar with the BC28.... Your description of your sound taste matches the sound signature of the BC28 very closely. | |
| Is my hearing bad? What kind for interconnects and what digital cable? The AMC is the transport?I also wonder if your HT preamp is a weak link for 2 channel audio?? Are you sure you are not re-processing the digital sound through the HT decoder a second time? | |
| PayPal Surcharge To repeat..All credit card transactions have a fee, usually around +/-3%. The store pays it (deducted from proceeds). Has nothing to do with Paypal. If you accept credit card payments, you are no different than a store. If you were to try to set u... | |
| PayPal Surcharge I believe it has nothing to do with Paypal. I don't think any retail store can charge a surcharge on a credit card payment, period. It might be in the VISA, Mastercard, Etc, agreements that vendors sign....The same reason some stores "don't take A... | |
| PayPal Surcharge I would not get hung up on it. For a fixed priced classified or an auction, just build in the 3% if it bothers you so much. For a "or best offer" advert: if they offer a certain $$ amount and paypal payment, then that is their "best offer". Take i... | |
| Should cinema be our HT reference? There is no excuse for a dull looking movie. I've seen the restored 70mm print of Lawrence of Arabia projected on a large screen. It looks great!! If they could make it that sharp and colorful in the 1950's, then they should be able to really dazz... |
