| Motorboating after tube change Thanks for all the responses. It's apparent to me that the fix is beyond my capabilities. Therefore, it's going in for repair. It'll take a while for an answer since the unit needs to be shipped. I will post the results of that repair here when I ... | |
| Motorboating after tube change Thanks, Guys.Based on your responses and those on AA, I have a coincidence on my hands. Hard to believe, but there it is. Thanks for diagnosing this over the interwebs.GP | |
| Cartridge Skips Beginning of Record I found out that the arm lift rest was set too high for the arm/cartridge combo. This is non-adjustable so I had to lower the VTA a little, maybe two mm. Problem solved.I checked with Clearaudio and a couple of cartridge suppliers and was told the... | |

| Denon 103 output--Step-up needed? Thanks for the info all. At the time I was using a Van Alstine solid state preamp. It definitely had enough volume. Evidently the phono stage could handle the low output of the Denon.GP | |
| Arcam or Unison Unico Unfortunately VA doesn't have a CD player, just a DAC. I convinced VA to do a CD for me after talking to Frank. He mentioned a particular model Magnavox that he used to modify but were no longer available. I contacted them and found out that they ... | |
| Review: Golden Tube SEP-1se Tube preamp I felt the same way about my GT SEP-1 until the transformer went south. No parts, no way. When I tried to get it fixed, the tech stated that the soldering was so bad, even if he could find a transformer (he couldn't), resoldering all the points in... |
