| Audible Illusions Modulus 3 and Rogue M-120 Okay? and they are well known to go thru tubes at a rapid rate. | |
| balanced vs unbalanced output Also be aware that not all equipment with an XLR connector has true balanced circuitry. That should be verified with manufacturer | |
| HOMC vs LOMC - same model Or you could use a pre-pre-amp or head amp; which is an active gain stage. ZYX makes a very good one that I had in my system for a while. Otherwise, SUT is very cart and phono stage dependent and also very sensitive to slight changes in loading du... | |
| Shipping Dunlavy SC 3's I'd let the movers do it their way; otherwise if there is a problem they will just look at you and say "sorry, dude, you shoulda done it our way". | |
| Been wondering about this for years.... Same experience w the Loewe TVs. You cannot beat a CRT for that 3-d PQ, in my opinion. But of course, they are not practical at any size over about 32-36" and are stretching it at that size. | |
| Tonearm Nightmare Try checking the 'dressing" of the tone arm cabling.Are you sure you did't set AS to max instead of min? | |
| Life of the used tubes Depending on the tester you can test for shorts, and compare transconductance to new and minimum good, but you cannot tell how long they will last in hours. If you have lots of experience w that unit and that tube, you could guestimate. | |
| coincident speakers do you have troubadors Ditto. Never had any interaction w Mr. Blume, but the others have been very generous to me personally w their time and knowledge. If I had to guess, there is a complicated "back story" going on here. Not sure I want to tune in any further. | |
| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs check w Albertporter. IIRC, he is going to audition one of their phono stages. | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? Since your tt is at SOTA, why not have them balance the subchassis? If you know the arm, you should be able to give them the weight. Or you could just weigh the shot you have and tell them the arm & board you are using and they can provide any... | |
| Top line phono stages with at least 2 inputs Doshi. | |
| SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead? There is no fixed amount and there is a procedure in the manual. If don't have a manual email me thru audiogon and I'll make you a copy. | |
| Tube Ampp Almarro low level hum sometimes transformer hum can (as Jax2 said) just be the result of loose mounting bolts, sometimes not. Sometimes its just how that particular tranny is. Toroidal trannys are often less susceptible. One other cause sometimes is DC offset, IIRC. | |
| Beyond Chutzpah And only $3K to ship that load of crap! Obviously he subscribes to the "bigger fool" theory. | |
| Audience Au24 - Did any one have problems....? I don't know about your particular problem but I will confirm that Audience went above and beyond to solve my problem. |
