| 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. | |
| Who makes the best boxes for shipping albums. Not bulk, just a few at a time Search for “ record mailers “ | |
| Linkup CAT8 compared to the best? The Linkup is economical enough that I thought "why not?" and gave it a try. Not against top tier cables, I have Wireworld Chroma. Spoiler, the Chroma won. The iMac slowed a bit, the TV picture degraded and digital lost my interest. Just one perso... | |
| Something strange with imaging It could be two simultaneous issues. One with a table/arm/cart/cable imbalance and another imbalance with hearing or acoustics. If it sounds balanced when you turn your back to the speakers but not when you face them, it’s not acoustics, it’s your... | |
| WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP... Seems like pure analog and non computer based digital need not apply. It's better audio for non audiophiles if true. | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions Update on playlists. With Tidal Connect and Spotify Connect enabled in the Lumin, those individual apps will stream direct from their server to the mini. Just choose the U2 mini as player. No need to create a Lumin playlist. | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @macg19 Exactly. The app is frustrating at first in that the manual is poorly written and there are no prompts from the software itself. It’s very different than Bluos. Once figured out it’s decent. I found the Tidal play list not automatica... | |
| Tube DAC (Black Ice) Users - What Streamer Are You Using? @dorislucero Oops! The N130 supersedes the Node 2i. The U2 mini supersedes the U1 mini. @macg19 Not a Black Ice but I have the latest Audio Mirror IV, a tube DAC. I upgraded from an N130 with Sbooster LPS to a Lumin U2 mini. It’s certainly a ... | |
| Why Are We Breaking Our Brains? Audio is stuff a bite of everything on the table, add a sip and chew. What would a sommelier recommend? He/she might get ripped to shreds too. | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @ericsch , Honestly I hated the app at first. My first impressions: Intuitive it is not. Extra steps a few. Frustrating it is. For instance, on first fire up the control panel popped up, grayed out and unresponsive. There are four inco... | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions @scthom It’s simple. Just remove the top plate, unplug the old tube, plug in the new. That’s it. No bias adjust or anything. @designsfx Had to! | |
| From an MHDT to an Audio Mirror, quick impressions Update: It's been four months and a couple things of note have happened. A Lumin U2 mini replaced the BS Node/Sbooster for streaming duty. It's quiet, dynamic and grain free. A NOS Telefunken E88CC in the Tubadour. I don't know the vintage ... | |

| low xlr output Not about the jumpers but... From Stereophile: "The maximum voltage gain with the R200i's volume control set to its maximum (an indicated "59") was 46.5dB for both the balanced and unbalanced inputs." Could this be a clue? |
