Does the name GainClone ring any bells
I'm a tweeker by nature and if something can be modded I'm in. A good pwr supply is the heart to any component as you know. If I win this bid I'll probably start with the upgraded pwr supply you mentioned. I still have a soldering iron among my ba... 
Does the name GainClone ring any bells
Wow, You are the man. Not knowing enough about this piece puts me in the dark somewhat(no pun intended). I wonder if the upgrades you mentioned can be allocated into this amp. It seems with the upgrades the one input and the dual-mono one can have... 
Does the name GainClone ring any bells
Darkmoebuis I thank you for the added comments and info. I took the plunge and put a bid on the amp which is a intergrated piece(50 watts). Don't have to worry about a pre. This unit only has one set of inputs and I do have a NAD tuner as well as ... 
Does the name GainClone ring any bells
I thank you for your reply and info. I did do a little research with the links supplied from the seller. I even registered with diy audio to see what's going on in that camp. The pics provided show a really nice build and with few parts as you men... 
That dreaded hum
I guess I should explain my setup: I have a hdtv box from my cable company--this connects to my tv via componet cables and audio cables. The cable signal of course comes from the wall. Next comes my dvd player(Philips 963sa)which also plays my cds... 
That dreaded hum
Many thanks to all that have responded. The radioshack fix may be the best bang for the buck. Someone else had told me about the 75 to 300 ohm setup. I will try this first. Good listening. 
Nelson Pass and Forte
After some more listening I decided that my 44 has more of a neutral signature than the 2. The 2 seems to lean toward the detailed side of things. Not a bad thing mind you as I like detail but the 44 does has the ability to spread things out. The ... 
Nelson Pass and Forte
Many thanks for the replys. My guess is that the 44 is not a Pass design for the simple fact that build quality of the model 2 and the 44 are a horse of a different color. But then that was many moons ago and everyone has moved on. I can say the m... 
Anybody with specs on a Forte-44?
Well it looks like the Oddesey Stratos is out and the McCormack .5 deluxe is in. With no listening experience on the Forte or .5 I'm wondering if any A-goners with the same setup could help me with ic and spkr cable advice. As stated before my mus... 
Anybody with specs on a Forte-44?
Hi Lou, The Forte has been modded according to the owner. I'm hoping it will be a good match with the Stratos. After I posted this thread I did some research and found one review that paired a Forte(the model escapes me at the moment)and the Strat... 
Review of Michael Wolff Carbon Ribbon Source power
My review reflects most of what has been posted already. This cord has unleashsed the beast in my older Counterpoint transport that I did not know it had. I had not found a cord up to this point to do what Michaels source cord is doing as I contin... 
Pwr cable suggestions
Thanks Robin, I will check this site as well. 
Pwr cable suggestions
I went to the AudioLon site but didn't see any Aronov products. I did base my search on what Corona recommened and I thank you Flex for the info. I agree that being up front is what it's all about. However I will Corona check your cords on the Aud... 
Pwr cable suggestions
My thanks to all that have responded. Listener I figured the Aronov circle is small. Great pre in my humble op. I think I saw a ad for a Mapleshade cord somewhere on A-gon. I'll also check the dealer AudioLon. Good listening to all. 
Madrigal Mark Levinson out of business.
I have a older Proceed player that needs repair. With reading the above threads I don't know what to do at this point. I did get a remote recently from Madrigal for the player. It's sad to have so many talented people cut from there jobs. Not ever...
