| BI AMPING - TUBE + SS - Hey Blindjim,I have walked the path you're on. I started by vertically bi-amping Aerial 10t's with a pair of Classe CA-301's. Note that in this configuration I do not run the amps bridged. (I found by experiment that what I heard was true, bridgin... | |
| Is this why my analog rig isn't so hot? Interesting thread. I have one of these .8 mV Gliders on my Vector tonearm. I am loading it at 250 Ohms using my Rhea tube phono stage and I don't notice any loss on top. Matter of fact it sounds pretty damn good. I really don't get the comment ab... | |
| Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality? Just off the top of my head:most Steely Dan,most Eric Clapton,Van Morrison,Supertramp,Renaissance,Gentle Giant,Dave Matthews, | |
| Seeking help with feedback through audio system Really starting to sound like it is down stream from the TT. Is there any difference in the channels? Does it follow one or the other channel? | |
| Seeking help with feedback through audio system Could it be a tube? It's kind of hard to hold it up to the internet so we can have a listen. :) I do also wonder about tonearm chatter with your cart/arm combo, but I don't know if this would be volume related as much as frequency related. You alr... | |
| Living with popping and crackling Damn digital Hippies! Is that better? :) | |
| Living with popping and crackling I have a very decent CDP that I enjoy quite a lot. But both of my TT's beat it IMO. My MMF 7 not so much, but my Basis is significantly better and I don't hear much suface noise to speak of. Most times it reminds me of low volume tape hiss which c... | |
| Living with popping and crackling My experience has been that the most important thing is the condition of of the vinyl. You can eliminate some/most if the unwanted noise is due to dirt with good cleaning practices. For many tables grounding the bearing can help. Better table, arm... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Dougdeacon,I still have it on my todo list to get down your way for a listen. I'm helping my son and his girl friend move back up from New Jersey next month. We usually travel the Merritt Pkwy so it wouldn't be too much of a detour. I'll give you ... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? What do you have or plan for a TT stand? Is the floor concrete or framing?As Dougdeacon said in so many words, both approaches have their good and not so good points. But, for instance, if you have an extreme case of the "house shakes" then that m... | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... Thanks Cello,I'm making plans for my future Teres.Dan | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... On my vector arm there is a small acrylic block where the tonearm wires intersect/become the larger shielded leads to the phono amp. The prescribed method of attaching this block to the table is to use the supplied velcro strips so that the whole ... | |
| Well Tempered or Teres ..... Hi Cello,Glad to hear the 340 is working well. I thought I remembered from the other thread that you also tried a Vector arm. If so , did you use the velcro method to attach the tonearm wires to the Teres? | |
| Turntable or go into SACD, Simon Yorke vs EMM Lab I sense that you have a case of the tweakies.You don't mention having any SACD software so I take it you don't. I have spoken recently with a few long-time SACD users who are selling their units and investing in very high-end redbook. The concense... | |
| Quality of Demo LPs I have generally had good success with demos, but I also passed on a few as well. My favorite of these that I have found is Dire Straits Love Over Gold. |
