| Basic Troubleshooting: 4 channel automobile system. You're probably right 🙂. | |
| Unison Research Aria S2K with Hales Revelation 1 [bookshelf speakers] Huy,I did not end up getting the S2K, so I can’t help you with that. But, I do use the Hales Revelation 1’s with a different (solid state) amplifier, so I can tell you about them if you want. They’re nice sounding speakers for the size... no quest... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Hi Al... further experimentation with using the DAC in pre amp mode is proving that I can play at higher volume now, without inducing the "pops". Thanks for your help! I'll make any updates here. If you have any further thoughts, post here. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Wow... Thank you again Al. I'll continue to monitor the situation and try various other CD's where I know the "pop" was happening before.As you point out, the mystery may be within the Marantz's circuit design:Detailed knowledge of the Marantz' c... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Hi All... I’m dredging up this 1+ year old thread because I think I discovered the solution to the problem I brought up here (I’m the orginal poster). I had complained of a pop or burp sound when I was playing CD’s and there was a brief spike in s... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Al... thank you again. I think that we are understanding the terms "compressed" and "spacious" in the same way in terms of dynamic range. It’s just that I handle the volume issue with each, differently than most, I guess. The truth is, I enjoy the... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Erik, I did try blocking the ports, but no change. In fact it may have made the phenomena worse... hard to tell. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Kanjit, The covers on the Hales are nearly impossible to remove. | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Al, Thank you! This is an education for me. I think I understand your detailed explanation. In summary, you are saying if I were to rule out some electronic or mechanical failure in either the Marantz or the Hales, it is most likely inadequate amp... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Al, Thanks for reviewing your original response. Most here seem to think that the amp is clipping. Is that what you are describing by saying: "...Given the 180 mv sensitivity of the Marantz receiver and the 2.1 volt maximum output level of the ... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Yes, they're ported. What will blocking the ports do?? | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Hey... I got an email that member "almarg" posted to this thread, but I don't see the full post here. The partial post I got in the email is below. Almarg, if you are out there I would like to know your full response. Not sure why it didn't get... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. Filter capacitor: Not likely. They were all replaced & upgraded (along with a lot of other internal components) in the Marantz’s restoration process, only a couple of months ago. The unit was also extensively bench tested before it was returne... | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. This is all helpful... So, the output of the DAC is <50 ohms. Is that relevant? | |
| Pop Sound in my speakers when driven loud from studio recorded CD sources. I have another Marantz... the 2245. Also fully restored and putting out about 58 wpc. Probably not a good for testing with the 8 ohm Hales. |
