| Diagnosing a spitting/popping channel- need some help! IkdogIf when you swapped preamp output cables to the monoblock amplifiers and the problem stays on the the left. The problem is with the left Monoblock Amplifier. I had a noise problem with a Vac Standard Preamp that's why I mentioned it. | |
| Diagnosing a spitting/popping channel- need some help! Had a similar problem with a Vac Standard Preamp. Problem was bad 100K Ohm plate resistor for the 12au7. Measured good but was breaking down with high voltage. | |
| SACD Player--Do you use it and feel you'd replace it if it broke? I have more vinyl than cd's. I have about 10% Hybrid SACD's compared to standard ones. They in most cases they sound better but it depends on the recording. I have the ability to play downloaded HR audio but haven't purchased any. I may in the fut... | |

| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Esoteric CDP - Anticables Level 3 replaced (12 awg home brew with hospital grade connectors). | |
| Blood On The Tracks MoFi UD1S This is my first Ultra Disc. Wow. I believe it sounds like a master tape. Revealing details I don't hear on the original vinyl. I am very impressed. | |
| phono pre-amp being replaced Get a Herron VTPH2A Phono Preamp. $3650. 64db or 69 db by switching tubes. By the way what resistor loading are you using for your Kleos? | |

| What is they best album out there for showing off the sound quality of your system. White Winds - Brothership - Andreas VollenWeiderProbably has sold more high end equipment than anything out there. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. I have a VTPH2a & a VTSP3a and I have no desire to go any further. The detail, imaging and neutrality with an Allaerts MC1B is subperb. I believe to better this combination I would have spend a great deal more. | |
| Triode or Ultralinear mode My modified Consonance M800SE Monoblocks seem to sound a bit more dynamic in UL mode. This is with 89 db 2-way speakers. I had been running them in Triode for many years and recently switched. I find the difference depends on source material and u... | |
| Turntable Mat question Herbies Mats are the way to go. I am using the Grungebuster Mat with a Ceramic platter turntable with excellent results. You can't go wrong. | |
| Meridian 508.24...sound compared to newer players I had a 508.24 years ago. I replaced it with a Consonance Ref 2.2 which was way better. Now I have Esoteric K-05x far better yet (sacd & hrd). Digital keeps getting better. I still love vinyl the over all. | |
| First listening to AU24 SX I'm a little disappointed I am using SX IC's throughout my entire system. I find them superb. They are very neutral with a wonderful midrange. I don't find the HF laid back. They soundstage very well and are non-fatiguing. I find all the reviews on them are accurate. Like... |
