| Rega P2- Power off Thump Thanks for the information Elizabeth. Now that I think back, this problem started after I replaced the Rega MM cart. with Denon DL-160 MC. So, does the EM pulse affect MC's more than MMs? BTW, the thump is not loud, just a little annoying thats al... | |
| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? I used SFG-2 with my Denon DL 160 (HOMC) to set the tracking force to 1.8g, but when the checked the weight again with a Digital guage, it indicated the actual tracking weight @ 2.1g. Avoid SFG-2 with MC | |
| Dennon DL160 cartridge output w/Plinius 9200 PS I have a Rega P2/RB250 with DL160 and I'm using a 2mm spacer for VTA adjustment. Even without the spacer the arm rides pretty close to parallel, but just to be sure I installed the 2mm spacer and it's dead on parallel to the record.I use an ourboa... | |
| Distortion during high frequency passages Thanks Ekobesky, I just talked to the dealer and he asked me bring the player in, will post what he finds. | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2C Audioconnection, the speakers are about 2.5' from the side walls. So the effective separation between the speakers (measured from tweeter to tweeter) is about 6', and they are about 2.2' from the rear wall, no toe-in. I tried toe'ing them in, but ... | |
| Replacement for Vandersteen 2C Thank you all very much for your valuable suggestions, I don't have any problem with bass from the Vandys, It's just that the soundstage seems a bit cluttered. | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Thank you Bondmanp, I'll try your suggestion(s) and see if I can get a balanced soundstage. Mine is an int. with no balance control, so will have to fiddle with the speaker placement only. Also mine is a smallish room, with the system against an 8... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Daverz, Thanks for the suggestion but cannot place the system against the long wall, that wall has a closet space (without doors) and an enterance to the room | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Friends, Sorry for the delayed update, but was busy at work :-). Well coming to the point, I tried a few things with speaker placements, now the speakers disappear into the soundstage but, the sound image seems to be left heavy (meaning it seems t... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Thanks to all for great tips. I listened to Eric Clapton unplugged after moving the speakers 6ft apart and wow the soundstage is much wider and the instruments are where the mixer wanted them to be. It's still not ideal but much much better than b... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Thanks Daverz, Newbee, Buconero117 and Yogibiy, for all the great tips. I moved the speakers about 6ft apart this morning but have not had a chance to listen yet. But will do over the weekend. By the way 6ft apart put the speakers about 1 ft from ... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Daverz, Thanks for the info, I checked the 2C manual and nothing was mentioned about the tilt, I know the 2CE manual does talk about tilt, do you think the tilt logic applies to 2C also?Thanks | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Thank you All very much for the precious tips. I'll first try setting the speakers as far apart as possible as suggested by Mofimadness, Hifitime and Unsound, then I would try Tbromgard's suggestion to pinpoint wave reflection points on the wall. ... | |
| Lacking Soundstage - Vandersteen 2C Guys, Thank you very much for the responses. The room dimensions are 8' x 14'. But the speakers can only be placed against the shorter wall. Now I can stretch the distance between the speakers to about 6 ft but the right speaker will then be too c... | |
| Sound quality degraded with phono-stage in path Thanks, Miracle, the gain range on this pre is 26db-53db, I'll try 26db setting and see. Also, can you suggest a cartridge upgrade from what I have now? Correction I have a Rega P2. |
