| Super-sensitive volume controls - remedy? Mink- Are you running the Denon into the MM or the MC phono stage? W 1.6 mV output, the KAB calculator shows you only need 43 dB gain. The Parasound will give you 52 dB gain through the MM input and a whopping 82 dB through the MC input. So you sh... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Zd- I think we are talking past each other. I was referring to distribution through internet sales instead of B&M, not both modes for the same lines, and thought that you were, too. I see that you were not. I would note, however, that in the c... | |
| TIDAL Lossless Streaming Service Sorry, Davt, your rationalizations for appropriating intellectual property don't fly. Besides the questionable ethics, they are false. music was free everywhere. Streamed on something called a RADIO. I never paid for listening to a radio, I just ... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Zd- my point is that I have to assume that the motivation to go to a direct or internet sales model is to be able to lower the price to be able to be more competitive. If you did that and then allowed the internet dealer to set the price at or clo... | |
| This might just be the end of brick and mortar Isn't it possible that they are charging the same price that a dealer would sell the same product for in their B&M store, and just keeping the extra profit for themselves?I don't think that there is any question that B&M stores have the po... | |
| Super-sensitive volume controls - remedy? The Rothwell attenuators work well but if you have that problem consistently you might consider that you've got too much overall gain in your system and look for an amp or a pre-amp w less gain. Also, some pre-amps have an internal jumper that all... | |

| Concerns purchasing Vintage System? I am no expert on electronics but I can think of 3 things you should do:1. Take the grills off of the LaScalas and look for torn or decayed surrounds. 2. Get permission to pop the covers off the electronics and look for bulging or leaking capacito... | |
| where to go from here..,, Pre-amp, pre-amp, pre-amp!!! But you gotta give us a budget to get any useable suggestions. | |
| Can I make the volume louder by using a pre-amp? Well I'll be hornswaggled! The inputs are in 2 separate banks. Never seen that before! My bad. | |
| Can I make the volume louder by using a pre-amp? The picture I found here does not show a phono input, only line level. In other words, there is no phono stage to provide the equalization and gain needed to drive a line level input properly. So yes, the short answer is you need a phono stage. An... | |
| PSA: LYRA, DYNAVECTOR SCAMMER FROM CANADA Thanks, my friend. | |
| Uneven VTF on different part of same LP Doug- if you want me to end the sentence w deviate, then I'll also have to change "nominal" to "normal" ;-). Hope you are well. | |
| Uneven VTF on different part of same LP Might NOT exist, in the next to last paragraph...sorry. | |
| Uneven VTF on different part of same LP Not much to add, except:1. Check the accuracy and precision of the balance. If it's accurate to within +/- 0.02 gms, a difference of 0.04 could be within spec (0.02 gms on either side of the actual value) and actually indicate the same "real" valu... |
