Vinyl records
From one individual pressed record compared to another you can’t say which is going to be better based on country of pressing alone. But there are enough records out there pressed in different countries to provide a statistically valid analysis fo... 
“BLOCK” Function?
Its also nice to be able to read a thread that doesn't go completely off topic. Something maybe the OP is only now beginning to relate to.Or not. Reading comprehension, self-awareness, both in short supply. So now the OP is getting admonished ... 
Ground loop feedback - cable wire issue
agree with @fuzztone - it's likely related to cable and those products address those problems quickly if the cable ground is the root cause.If for some reason that doesn't work it means that your new amp is interacting poorly with another componen... 
“BLOCK” Function?
@jetter Unfortunately creating a Tweak topic won’t constrain the behavior the OP is referencing: Sometimes it’s nice to ask a question and learn something without someone trying to rub your nose in your lack of knowledge like a dog that did his bu... 
“BLOCK” Function?
It's hilarious how someone can become a caricature of himself. 
Which Preamp.
How much gain does your Parasound produce? I ask because the Calypso gain is pretty jacked up by most standards: 23 dB single ended and 29 dB balanced.  
ls this the frequency of vinyl
What ever happened to just enjoying listening to music? 
USB cables and Galvanic Isolation
@nicktheknife  Well it seems my DAC USB module may have just needed a "reset".  I have a Lampizator Atlantic TRP DAC.  In order to use the USB module you have to engage a ring button switch.  Apparently I was able to to make the high pitch noise g... 
USB cables and Galvanic Isolation
Question for this group.  When we talk about USB noise, what does that typically sound like?  I recently started having an issue with my DAC only when using the USB connection.  It makes a high pitched, almost ultrasonic whine when I begin streami... 
Basement listing room
How badly is your basement listing? It makes turntable leveling a challenge. 
Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great
Careful @rlb61   you're going to disrupt MC's one-size fits all narrative.  He really doesn't need to post here....he simply needs to have a FAQ page with his list of audio rules (including non-negotiable brand requirements) that everyone is requi... 
What tubes do I need?
I'm not familiar with this company.  I assume they are no longer in business so you can't check with them? 
How deadly is transformer hummm...
Also if the amp only has 50 hrs on it it's possible the hum may go away to some extent with further run-in.  My Line Magnetic amp hummed slightly at first but after 60 hrs or so it pretty much went away except during the initial 10 minutes of star... 
MM phono preamplifier
@jperry  @three_easy_paymentsorks fine with cartridges in the .5 mv range and the right SUT I guess it just wouldn't work with my Zesto SUT which i thought was pretty versatile.  Mine only adds a max of 22dB gain.  I know you can get SUTs with m... 
For anyone who moved from tubes to solid state — a question
Myself I would likely only consider using a tube amp with very easy load speakers to drive and high efficiency is desirable as well to be able to achieve higher SPLs from fewer watts. Yes, this is the way to do it. Now that I’m using a SET tube am...
