| So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2 Nothing that has been offered as solutions seem viable. Static is random, forget about it. The only suggestion that makes some sense is the the possibility on a weight sensor on the table to detect record weight. The Achromat is much lighter than ... | |
| Croft phono integrated vs Croft Regulated Pre-Amp why Teflon tape on fuses? Makes no sense. | |
| A decent integrated amp under 2K ... I may be late to the table here but I believe one thing that does not get talked about when choosing an amp for a highly efficient set of speakers is damping factor. Choosing a normal solid state amp on efficient speakers will strangle them. Judd... | |
| Croft phono integrated vs Croft Regulated Pre-Amp All is left now is the wait, around 4 weeks | |
| Croft phono integrated vs Croft Regulated Pre-Amp Well I have ordered a 25R preamp and 7R amp. In looking at all the work building regulated versions of their amp/preamp I am going to assume Glenn did not do that to waist money. | |
| Technics SB-G90 Speaker's I have to confess that since I had these speakers new I had been running the Supra speaker cables in the wrong direction. I hesitated saying this because I can hear the engineers eyes rolling but it made a dramatic difference in bass weight and dy... | |
| What do audiophiles do in their cars? I listen to NPR in my car. Not at all interested in car audio. | |
| Technics SB-G90 Speaker's My SB-G90's are on the long wall and are set out around 40 inches. I have they angled in to where I can just see the inside panel. I have not measured they may be around 9 feet apart. This was basic Audio Physic setup with my couch set against th... | |
| Technics SB-G90 Speaker's I have not spent much time here. I had a considerable amount of time getting these set up correctly. I bought a Marantz KI-Ruby before buying these speaakers and spent months trying to get them to image. It was if the music was stuck to the speake... | |
| Stand out phono stages The phono stage in my Rowland Concentra integrated was stellar. That said I have been listening to MM cartidges latley and settled on A Soundsmith Boheme cartridge mated to there top MM stage. I have just spent the last three weeks on the power su... | |
| Quad II/forty problem solved First off I think the parts you are referring to are resistors not capacitors. My guess it was one of the KT88's but that is a WOG (wild ass guess.) Is it possible for a KT88 to be bad or fail in a way to make it draw and abnormal amount of heater... | |
| what is an ideal tube amp If you want to save some bucks check out Mapletree Audio preamps and a pair of their Super Stealth amps. Classic circuits and just different enough. SET's will work with horns but having a more controlled bass lower output impedance will never hurt. | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee I happened upon this thread and thought I would chime in a few years late. My Black Widow arm and Empire 2000E/III has 'O' sibilance problems. I also tracks like a hound dog on a hot dog. My Denon 301 MKII in the same setup was very good but not t... | |
| Ray Samuels F117 Nighthawk vs. PS Audio GCPH I have listened to the Nighthawk with a number of cartridges and it has performed very well in my system. It has a large presentation that never gets restricted in size during symphonic crescendos. I would describe it to have a full rich sound, no... | |
| surface noise and cartridge/ phono pre questions Static charge on records is also a very strong candidate, especially if your in house conditions include lack of humidity. First things first. |
