| I hear the radio..... on my turntable... help I had similar issues and had to move the TT and phonostage to the floor in order to get rid of the station. Cheater plugs did not work for me.What phonostage are you using? Tube or solid state. Sometimes RFI can get into the system via tubes as well. | |
| Best power cords in the $250-$400 range? In this price range VH Audio Flavor power cords are an excellent value. | |
| Modwright 9.0se vs Cary SLP-98P I have heard both preamps. I owned the Cary and have heard the Modwright in another system. Tvad's description of the Modwright's sonic signature is accurate. I would say the Cary in stock form is more musical with lush mids, softer bass, and very... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? I wish you the best of luck Alex. I'm a humanitarian at heart and from what I understand you'll need it. | |
| Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE Charding,I was driving a pair of Spendor 1/2e speakers with my Cary. In light of your clarification I would agree with Aronss that you could get what you need from thr V12. As to the statement that the V12R is significantly better than the V12i, I... | |
| Biamping Question Jsadurni,Thanks for the information and links. Yes the Spendors are well known for the midrange. The EVS attenuators use a 10K nude Vishay. I also have a pair of Endler attenuators that use a 4k Yageo resistor. I can hook these up to the inputs of... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? Based on Alex's last two posts, it wouldn't surprise me to see a totally re-engineered iPod coming from APL-HiFi in the future - for the low, low, price of $4995 no less. | |
| Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE I haven't heard the CJ amp, but have owned a Cary V12i. While I think very highly of the amp, maybe its me, but I never thought of it, nor found it to be a crank it up type of amp. | |
| E.A.R. 834P Herbies Halos are the ones I use one all my tube gear inlcuding phono stage. These have an excellent reputation. There are also tube rings of various shapes and materials, such as rubber, brass, or silicon. | |
| Biamping Question Thanks for the responses everyone. I much prefer the passive biamping approach based on the information so far.Jsadurni,I am using Spendor 1/2e speakers. Sensitivity is 88db and nominal impdedance is 8 ohms. The tube amp has adjustable gain: 27db ... | |
| Power Cords on a $1000 budget what would you do? With the present gear, if you must buy PCs then go with the VH Audio PCs. Excellent bang for the buck. Interesting advice from TVAD as well. If I were in your position I would seriously consider it. | |
| tube preamps I have been running a tube preamp with my solid state amp for a while now and love it. It will depend on proper matching though so YMMV. I use a Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII (a used one on Audiogon now for a great price) with a TRL D-225. I have a M... | |
| Has anyone heard the modified TRL/Sony DVP-NS900V They are still working on mine. Hopefully it will be shipped this week. There are three or four of us initially who will be receiving this player that has the latest developmeents in the battery supply mod. According to Paul it is going to improve... | |
| Amplifier Mods Ecruz,My player will have the most up-to-date mods for the Sony 900, including the latest battery supply design. I will post something in the digital forum after it breaks in so you have an idea of what improvements you can expect. Even if you don... | |
| Tubes in Hi-End Preamps I might have to agree with MrTennise. Event the most neutral of components have a sonic signature. Of course, our ability to hear it is another matter altogether. |
