| Please Advise: Pre-Amp RIGHT channel OUT Gregm is right that it is probably a contact issue , but it seems to me that the solder joint at the volume pot rather than a dirty contact is more likely to be the cause. Of course, cleaning the volume pot is always a good idea w/an older unit. | |
| Small Speakers 4 a Small System w/ Advent Receiver NHT Superzeros are a little more than your budget,but worth it, IMO. | |
| Headphone System CD Player Recommendations Please If you give us a budget, that would help. I think that there is a quite a range in price among those that you mentioned. | |
| Where is the best place for an auction? I think Bigjoe has hit it right on the numbers. | |
| Looking for excellent DAC without a preamp section I think that there is a Muse 296 for sale right now at about 12% of the price you are talking about. Upgradeable to 24/192 status as well. | |
| Why 2 analog outputs on jolida jd100? Also can use one output to drive a pre and one to drive a headphone amp; that's what I do w/ the 2 on my EMC-1UP | |
| Help: my phono preamp is blowing away my linestage Since you have a great phono stage, how about a Supratek line stage only. New should right about on target to your budget. Used you would be able to stay under if you can fine one used. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Several Supratek owners, myself included, have gone from CATs to Suprateks. I had a Ref MK2. No comparison. The Syrah made the CAT sound clinical and flat. And the ability to change cart loading on the fly is a real nice feature. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Saint- the issue is that the phono stage is very high gain and the whole pre uses unshielded wires. The unit can pick up hum from its own power supply, or from other transformers in your rig. You may have to experiment, but in general, try to keep... | |
| Stereo amp upgrade path? (c). will not work properly. Should not have 2 amps connected to same speakers at same time. I'd probably sell the DVD and get an older ref quality DVD, like Elite DV-05 or 09, or Sony 7000 or 9000, depending on what you find for sale. The 05 and ... | |
| Upgrade cable for Senn 600s?? Its plug'n'play. No soldering required. Just unplug the old cable at the earpieces and slip the new ones in. The plugs are asymmetric, but not obviously so, so just be careful you match the pins correctly, and plug the red one into the right side ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Tim- you will not regret it. If the phono stage has been improved, then a real bargin becomes an unbelieveable bargin. Just be sure that you are careful with locating the units avoid picking up hum (due to unshielded wiring, not due to tubes). | |
| 2 Ch. $1500 SS Amp suggestions for unbalanced use McCormack DNA 0.5 w/level B mods by SMcAudio. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Its possible that the HT pypass is just an input w/unity gain. Probably accessed just by rotating the input selector to the correct position. OTOH, the Syrah does have the capability to have 2 toggles, one on the front right and other on the rear ... | |
| Source for volume control knob Now why didn't I think of that! Thanks. |
