| Considering going back to Solid State Well first off, I want to thank you all for the great responses and advice. I would like to answer a few questions, if I may to start.Erik, the thought had crossed my mind but prefer to keep amplification separate. Tricon, Pass is another I want t... | |
| tweeter replacement, original glued in One thing you might try, if you have a heat gun or a hair dryer. Heat the cabinet around the tweeter then apply ice in a. Sandwich bag directly to the tweeter. The sudden contraction might break the bond and while the glue is soft, it may come loose. | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts Sorry I didn’t see your question earlier but I think the best way to describe the sound of the Cutest is, warm without being too lush. It delivers the details without over analyzing and sterilization of the music. I like the Red filter of the four... | |
| Cardas cable users I have my system wired with all Cardas and have had Quadlink as IC’s no speaker cable. I have used Quadlink, Golden Reference and currently Golden Cross between my Ayre C5xe and Pre amp. I had gone from QL to GR and found that although the QL was ... | |
| Schiit vs. Mytek vs. Chord - looking for some thoughts I never did try the Shiit but did try the Mytek Liberty and the Cutest among a few others when I was buying. I bought the Cutest and have been very happy with it. It just seemed more pleasing to my ears and a better departure from the digital soun... | |
| Velodyne is... Thanks for sharing. I have actually been thinking of upgrading my DD12 so maybe I can get another Velodyne. | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE I think the price wouldn’t be tonight out of line. I have only had warranty work done on 2 Pre-amps, but they have been great to communicate with. I would send it to them because 1) you’re in the hands of the designers 2) they will only use genuin... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Good luck on the power tube. Also when you change the tube take a look at the board around the tube socket and see if it shows any sign of overheating or burning. Pull the bottom grate as well and look the bottom of the circuit board over as well.... | |
| Looking for a good solution to cover my TV between the speakers. Cant move it Years ago I made a free standing wood frame and added foam acoustic panels in it. I covered it with bleached burlap to make the appearance tolerable. It was at the time a 42” and was more centered in line with the tweeters. I now have a taller cab... | |
| Problem with Ref 5SE Not sure what the problem is, but as a Ref5se owner. I did find out that the 6550 power tube needs to be replaced every 2000 hours, this is not mentioned in the manual. It only mentions the 6H30 has a 4000 hour change interval. If you look at the ... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado I haven bought and sold with them and other some communication issues, I find them to fulfill their commitments. | |
| Chord Huei Phono Rob, now that you have had the Huei for time to allow it to break in. Have you changed your opinion on its performance? I have been considering one for a Lyra Kleos and would appreciate your sharing your experience thus far.thank youTheo | |
| Chord Qutest vs. Benchmark 2 or 3? I tried both and found the Cutest to be warmer in sound, but the Benchmark has more features and is more analytical and accurate. It really depends on your ears, either is a good solution.The Cutest is a little quirky at first with the colored lig... | |
| Cat jumped on turntable I agree with with Cleeds on the stylus being torn off the cantilever. Although that wouldn’t make any non-scientific measurable difference in weight. But if you have any kind of magnifying glass, look close at the end of the cantilever and see if ... | |
| How are you liking Amazon Music HiFi now that it’s been out a month or so. That is kind of where I am with the Amazon, Sound is fine but with my Bluesound Node 2 it is a real challenge to use. I do notice that even though as a Prime Member and I signed up for the HD trial, that a lot of the music I am selecting is standa... |
