| SUN 2A3 single ended triode..... If you want to read about the Sun SET amps, then go to the Triode Guild website. There are several articles and discussions about it there. Harvey loved them. They are the best selling SET amps in Japan.Other possiblities would be the Jeff Korneff... | |
| Hum causes: MC cart, arm cables or phono stage ?? Try unplugging the tonearm leads from the Coph Nia, and see if the humming goes away. If it does not, then you know it is in the phono stage or cabling. If it does go away, then it is something in the cartridge or tonearm wiring. | |
| Thinking about new cartridge I don't think it is enough gain. I have a Shelter 501 with .4mv and my MFA Magus preamp has 66db of gain, and if I plug straight in to the preamp, without using my Cotter Step-up transformer, then I have to turn up my volume to full to get even ma... | |
| Speaker Polish? REVISITED Dave, I'm not really a polish expert. I would look at your finish and determine what is a good polish. For an "open" wood finish, I think that light oiling or something like that is fine. For lacquer finishes, I would use a wax polish. I think Ple... | |
| David Berning "Holy Grail" 45 SE ZOTL now exists Rwd, my speakers are not horns. They are direct-radiator single-drivers, which use a complex loading of the rear wave, called a Tapered Quarter Wave Pipe. The moniker used is generally "Voigt Pipe" named after the inventer. The rear wave of the dr... | |
| Hum causes: MC cart, arm cables or phono stage ?? Make sure your ground wires are well connnected and have clean connections. | |
| Clearaudio Reference Solution The cartridge is a pretty good one, but you can do better if you want to spend some more.If I was planning on a Graham arm, I'd take a real good look at the ZYX R-100 FS Fuji. It is one of the best sounding cartridges around, and it has a complian... | |
| Speaker Polish? REVISITED I mentioned the orange oil. It is basically the same as lemon oil, they just get it from an orange. It does the same thing. I noticed that is some of the better furniture polishes I've seen lately, they have orange oil and beeswax. The beeswax can... | |
| Need complete analog setup options/recommendations I just assumed that you already had a linestage or passive volume control. You will need one. Depending on the gain of the phono stage, and the output of the cartridge, you may or may not need any gain from a line stage. If you get the Aesthetix I... | |
| Need complete analog setup options/recommendations Well, at those kinds of budgets, I'm sure there will be alot of recommendations.Besides the obvious need for TT/arm/cart, you need a phono stage. This will have some synergy considerations with the cartridge, so paying attention to matching these ... | |
| Do you pay seller for packaging supplies? Buyer pays shipping. This means all shipping costs including packaging and handling. | |
| Sonic Differences Between 2-Way and 3-Way Speakers Okay, they can both be great, or suck, depending on how well they are done, and what parts are used. There is not one speaker system in the world that is not a compromise. None. You are compromising something with any design you choose, regardless... | |
| where to start analog Dave, in that price category, Albert's suggestion is just about right, because it leaves you some room to get the other gear you need to get hooked up.Other possiblities may be a used Linn LP12, or early Oracle. Possibly even a used Michell Gyrode... | |
| Gain and Rothwell attenuators You've got impedance mismatch problems, when you are placing that resistive attennuator in the line. This is typical with passive preamps, and it is always a struggle to get them to be anywhere near acceptable. The way out of this, if you want to ... | |
| CES - Which Days? Sunday, is usually "tear down day" when all the exhibitors are starting to disassemble their displays, and preparing to go home. The morning may be ok, but the later in the day it gets, the more disassembly you will see. |
