| Phono Cart Impedance Question @lewm Yes, I was referring to the internal resistance of the cart itself. I'm running the cart through a SUT set at 30 ohms. The " white noise"-like hiss is mainly through the tweeter and only becomes audible as volume is increased near the peak... | |
| Dip Switch settings for Ortofon 2M Black Use your ears but I'd start by switching on the 220pF and MM (to give you 40dB gain). Add the 3dB gain only if needed to get to desired volume. With MM carts there really isn't much adjustment since it should default to 47K ohm loading. | |
| How many of you believe in MQA? I cancelled Tidal as a result of my disillusionment with MQA. Opted for Qobuz hi-res. MQA just isn't sonically pleasing to my ears. | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! GK,I'm still using the BDR cones and carbon discs under my TT. I don't have enough DH cones to try them under both components at the same time. These initial results are compelling although I'm wondering if the BDR cones will continue have bette... | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! So I tried my new DH medium cones (got for $35 including shipping from a shop listing them on USAM) over the weekend. I used them together with the Golden Sound DH squares under my Herron VTPH-2A. I have to say...really positive impact on detail... | |
| Phono Cart Impedance Question typo...should have said " I realize moving to a slightly HIGHER output cart could very well reduce the hiss."....since I could probably use less gain to obtain same volume. | |
| Power Conditioner, which of these 4 and why? what are your needs? (filtering, surge protections, etc) and what components do you plan to connect? | |
| ATI AT6007 amplifier hum This Isotek unit works on 20A.https://www.musicdirect.com/power/IsoTek-EVO3-Syncro-Uni-Sine-Wave-Rebalancing-Unit-C19 | |
| Ceramic insulator cone under phono stage shocker! I just picked up a set of three small DH cones for $35 (including shipping) that I plan to place under my phono stage. I also bough DH squares to place the cones on as recommended by GS. I may A/B compare them against some BDR carbon cones and d... | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities @atmasphere Thanks for such great perspective from a manufacturer. I really appreciate your contributions here...I learn a ton. | |
| My Boston Acoustics Radio stopped working $49.99 plus free shipping. Problem solved.https://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-BOSTON-ACOUSTICS-Receptor-AM-FM-radio-dual-alarm-clock/143333254583?hash=item215f53e5b7:g:0c8AAOSwQCBdMf18 | |
| Possible new integrated amp for my new Focal Kanta's I'm shocked the dealer you bought your speakers from didn't just happen to have in stock a SS amp that would pair magically with the Kanta's ;-) | |
| Pass Labs XA30.8 I can't imagine you'd have any troubles driving those speakers with the XA30.8, especially at the listening levels that you indicated you prefer. People seem to forget that doubling your wattage only increases to volume by 3dB. | |
| What preamp to pair with a McIntosh 302? Advice needed. Probably very little response here because there are too many choices...I suggest you provide better budget communication and more description of sound you're going for. With a 22K ohm input impedance you're unfortunately not going to use a tube ... | |
| McIntosh Tube amps or Solid State?? Advices needed!! Can you listen to them side by side and let the sound to your ears decide? |
