| Help problem with Soundlab Dynastats thanks for the responses - I'll get him to check connections first - it does actually sound like the panels aren't charged, although I did get the crackling sound when adjusting the bias. It's like somebody has turned the treble all the way down o... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing So, I took my whole rig into the local high end audio store and the tech checked it over with an ohm meter. He did finally isolate it to the cartridge. Ouch..... Also a careless error of mine - the hum is actually only in the right channel, in my ... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing Was aways for a few days, so just got around to disconnecting the cartridge. Hum still there, but slightly less - only slightly more now when touching tonearm, but very loud if I touch the hookup leads (red, yello, blue, green). I will try rehooki... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing thanks for the comments so far. All connections are good. Both channels play. I'll try disconnecting the cartridge tomorrow and see what happens. I did follow instructions exactly as specified. Also, this is a Benz made demagnetizer and I'm using ... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing Everything is reconnected as before, including the ground. Tonight I pulled out an older phono cable to substitute and the hum is still there. That rules out the phono cable. I guess it's possible that the problem may be with the tonearm, but it s... | |
| Threshold to Pass upgrade? Thanks for the information from everybody so far. Very helpful. Has anybody heard an upgraded T400? I'm quite curious about this option as well - I definitely find the Class A sound very attractive and would like to keep those qualities if possibl... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary So, I wrote BAT and Victor replied saying that BAT preamps will likely not be a good match considering the low input impedance of the T400, even using the unbalanced inputs. So, that rules out BAT. Dopogue has suggested also investigating the Aest... | |
| Conrad Johnson vs Audio Research vs BAT vs Cary Thanks so far for some very interesting answers. Another Agoner emailed me to say he had tried the BAT VK-5i with the Threshold and they were a poor match (probably impedance mismatch). Elsewhere on forums, I think it has been suggested that there... |
