| Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input I'm pretty sure I found your problem. The default setting on your phono preamp is for a moving coil cart. That's way too much gain. Follow the instructions on P.24 of your owners manual and remove the phono cards. You actually have 2 small phono c... | |
| album cleaning solution I haven't noticed any white haze with the records I have problems with. I soon as I get a chance, I will check to see if I missed it. | |
| album cleaning solution BenjieJust to confirm, that is exactly the same problem that I have. | |
| Bottom end, sealed dual 10" vs ported dual 8"? I don't mean to sound negative, but there's no possible way to make that comparison. There are so many more factors to consider, the comparison of (Bottom end, sealed dual 10" vs ported dual 8"), is not relevant. The only way to get anywhere in th... | |
| Spray Adhesive advice to repair speaker grills??? It does sound like a messy situation. I don't blame you for posting. The glue gun sounds like a much better solution to me, as well. Depending on what you have, staples might work for you. Also, you can get some small C-Clamps at Home Depot very c... | |
| Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input Given the info in your last post, I think we can get this working for you very quickly. You herd the TT working at the dealer confirms the preamp is OK. Assuming you werent lied to by the person that checked your Rowland, you have equipment that ... | |
| Need tube 101 info I have been following your story about this new BAT preamp in your other threads, as well, with interest. Here's what I know for sure. BAT preamps, tube or solid state, don't make noise. I have nothing to do with the company and don't currently ow... | |
| Wav to Flac using Dbpoweramp From reading your post, it looks like you already have dbPoweramp. Also, if I'm reading correctly, you are not sure what tags are. Tags are information that gets attached to an audio file to describe it. (Artist, Title, Year, Album, ets). Tags are... | |
| Purist Audio Design - Dominus Interconnect Cable To the OPI think you made a good choice. Once you try CC's lending program, you'll never do it any other way. I'm pretty sure the Ventustas is the one they sent me when I tried Purist. Also, they may make alternate suggestions. I always go for the... | |
| Tube amp $500 for LCD-2 Sorry if I made a mistake, but if we are talking about a headphone amp and not a regular poweramp for speakers, my recommendation, of course, is not correct. Either way, $500 is a very low budget for what you are asking and any modern design will ... | |
| Inexplicable muddy sound on phono input I know this might sound very basic but it kind of sounds like you have a gain issue. Quite often, people will make a mistake and buy a moving coil phono preamp and mate it with a high output moving coil cart. The result is too much gain and will h... | |
| album cleaning solution Maybe someone can answer this one for me. Records that I buy new sound terrible. I'm not talking about NOS, but records that were recently made. For the most part, I find them unlistenable. Sounds like a box of cereal. It doesn't seem to matter wh... | |
| Phono cables/philosphy ? Can you better explain the connections you have. When you say xlr to xlr can you be more clear? Do you mean that the wires that plug into the cart on one end terminate with an xlr on the other end? There are different ways to do this. On my TT, th... | |
| Why does Computers - Amp - Speakers sound better? You are making a lot of assumptions. "256 kbps should not sound better than high quality vinyl of music from the past five years (i.e. not mastered from bad tapes)." Why not? How do you know the tapes are bad? To get anywhere, you are going to hav... | |
| Tube amp $500 for LCD-2 I forget what LCD stands for but given your price range and the type of sound you are looking for, I would go with a vintage amp. Something like a heathkit or dynaco should do a great job for your needs. |
