| Solved my streaming grunge (inner detail) problem I tried a Powerline and found digital riding on my Herron phono pre out (O-scope) in mm mode. I didn’t try mc mode. My Luxman phono pre made chugging noises through the speakers mc mode. I went mesh. None of that, no drop outs and very good sp... | |
| Rumors of CD Demise Exagerated? New Hegel I see new formats erasing the old having one thing in common, convenience. The cd had remote control and track skipping. It was also novel with clean playback and tight bass for the masses. Streaming has unlimited access to new sound/songs, ra... | |
| Hearing aids No regrets here. Mine have app control so the amount of tip up in frequency response can be changed by slider or semi permanently by AI interface. Musically I find them mostly a positive. It depends on the source, music and volume. They’re Bluetoo... | |
| Warm sounding 6922 Type Tubes My Tubadour 4 took 10 months to settle in. That corresponds to advice I received about the output transformers. They're apparently quite good once they're broken in which takes forever, at least 500 hours I'm told. I got mine the end of October... | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? I put in a fixit ticket and Tammy verified my land line for me. (Thank you) | |
| Where to insert tubes while running a Luxman SS integrated My L-505uxii with a Herron 360 pre was a surprisingly stark match. A lot of the Luxman magic seems to be in the pre. I suggest try before you buy. | |
| Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system? The "line straight" feature removes coloration of the tone control section. On the off chance that you haven't, give it a try. It's a much clearer signal at low volume on my L-505uxii. Also, the 509x reportedly needs an hour warm up, as does my... | |
| Lumin U2 mini vs Mac laptop sound test I replaced the new Node with a U2 mini and heard quite a difference. The highs are clear and pure, there’s less grain and focus is much better. Put another way, The Node sounds grainy, unfocused and a bit shrill compared to the mini. I recently ... | |
| Hearing Aids in 2023 .. Questions @christian I’ve recalled more detail of the feedback conversation (Hey, I’m 69 and it was a year and 1/2 ago!) The high frequency gain is borderline max and I may (now do) need a step up to more power. | |
| Hearing Aids in 2023 .. Questions I have Signia brand for a year and a half. They're not perfect or cheap but do have some great features. They're app controlled meaning I can adjust volume (per ear), bass and treble. There's also an AI that offers solutions for my approval and... | |
| Top two most important sound qualities Fun and captivating - a synergy of audio qualities not defining sound perfection but revealing to the heart and soul. | |
| Internet Noise: A Pest in the Machine I had a power line adapter interfere like that. The digital was riding on the phono pre out as seen on an o-scope. Any in the house? | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem I just Fluked my DV xx2-2 and it’s 6.9 each channel. No problem. For trouble shooting you can search phono cartridge color code. It will *most likely* have a broken wire at the connector pin under the shrink tubing. | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem I believe the connecter top unscrews if I am remembering correctly. That's where the break would be. | |
