| 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 . | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? Great amp , and yes the cartridge needs more time breaking in . To test old or original 60's rock vinyl for bass try a testing your original release with a new " remastered " one , say like the Beatles remastered by Giles Martin . A real good... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent If you scroll back to 6/29/2024 page 266 you'll find my experience adding resistors on the crossover to speaker wires you can also read Tom's response on that page . | |
| Thiel Owners I saw that the other day , did they really retail for $15,000? If so would that have been the most expensive speaker that Thiel produced ? | |
| I’m considering upgrading my speakers internal wiring I replaced the internal wiring first before I upgraded the crossovers , this allowed me to experience the change only of the wires . I used Cardas chassis wire , first I used 15.5awg from speaker posts to crossovers and then to the speakers , I t... | |
| A question about tube rolling Wow , what a great experience , meeting a tube guy is like winning the lottery for tube rolling . I will say that rolling 2 exact same tubes is a lot easier than my situation where I have 6 tubes of 3 different types used in a Tavish Designs phono... | |
| Resistors for phono preamp Audio Note Tantalum resistors , smallest is 1/2 watt but they sound great . | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste I rewired my 2.7 with Cardas when I found out that the speakers had wire that (I think) was used on the " new Thiel " speakers , a 16awg stranded lamp cord style . At first I used 15.5awg for all 3 speakers , I then switched to 17.5 fo... | |
| Forward Sounding Speaker Crossover Components - Suggestions? Since Clarity Caps have been mentioned I add my experience with then . I Recapped and resistored my crossovers in phases , first I tackled the woofer using CC CMR cap on the positive and an CC MR cap on the negative ( because of size ) , these we... | |
| Thiel Owners devinplombier Out of curiosity what capacitor values were not available, and what manufacture capacitors are you using ? | |
| Phono stage comparisons If you enjoy tube gear Tavish Designs Adagio is all tube with 44 db gain for MM cartridges and it cost less than Manley . | |
| Phono stage comparisons Are you using a MM or MC cartridge ? |
