| Thiel Owners Installing 4 100uf caps replacing the 1 400uf cap is well worth the improvement . But there are 2 problems to address one is the space on the board and the other is the small size of the eyelet where the leads are soldered. This became an even lar... | |
| Leave it on? p.s. I turn my system off but I do turn everything on at least 1/2 hour before I sit down an listen . | |
| Leave it on? using the national average of 19 cents per kwh the cost to leave an amp that uses 85 watts just being on would cost $166.45 in electricity a year . So look at what your amp uses when not being played but left on 24/7/365 and decide if it's worth ... | |

| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? 187 The Rega phono preamp is the first time I've seen capacitance loading on or for an MC cartridge as well as the resistance loading . For you reference I have a Tavish Designs Adagio phono preamp . | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? 187 please accept my apology , I am 100% wrong in my hazy thinking , you are correct using 100 ohm loading . the 1,000pf input capacitance loading is one of the jumper settings on a Rega phono preamp for MC cartridges . you should also be usin... | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? 187 per Rega MC cartridges manual capacitance should be set to 1k , check it out and see if you hear the difference . also what about your gain setting ? | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? Look at you manual again , you should be setting the cartridge to 1K resistance . J12 & J30 Also check your gain setting , should be 60 or 66 db . | |
