| Well recorded records ... what are your picks? john mayall, jazz/blues fusion. i heard it at my brother-in-laws and the recording was incredible. on the other hand, my copy sucks, likely because i played it to death in the 70's and 80's. | |
| phono preamp crackling as noted above, i do not have tubes in my system, ergo tubes are not the problem.i don't notice problems when i touch the controls of the preamp--i think the crackling is independent of that, so the preamp is likely not the problem. on the other h... | |
| phono preamp crackling thanks kg. i'll look into the ionoclast. i live in the deep north, and things will only get worse when winter arrives and my furnace kicks in. | |

| dynaudio c1 serial numbers thanks. i saw those little red stickers but thought they couldn't be it. but i guess they are. strange. | |
| set up question cambridge i have the same issue. i have a cambridge 840a v2, 840c and dynaudio c1's. i have to turn the volume to half way to get moderate sound. beyond that it starts getting loud and at 2 o'clock is fairly loud. i spoke with matthew at audiopluss services... | |
