| Need help solving hum problem (a bit chagrined...) I thought that I had tried lifting the ground on the Dodson. But I happened to try it again, and it seems to have fixed the problem. Nevertheless, I will attempt to work through the process Sean describes in his excellent othe... | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Sean, upon re-reading, I am not clear as to how you "flip" the polarity of the 3:1 hardware store adapter. | |
| Noise, hum and AC polarity Bravo! A great post, Sean, thank you. | |
| Need help solving hum problem Thank you. I had tried a cheater on both the DAC and the preamp, with no success. I will try it on the amp, but as I said, the hum goes away if the amp and DAC share the same wall outlet. Based on the results of my various troubleshooting attempts... | |
| Rowland 112 amp. vs. Pass X150 I have used a Pass X-150 with ProAc 2.5s for the past year with great results. It is a fine match indeed. I currently have a tube amp in the system, but I still have the Pass, I just like to trade off with the tube amp. Have not heard the ProAcs w... | |
| Need help solving hum problem Yes, it is. | |
| Pre-amp Suggestions for Tubes & Electrostats To respond to your question....you didn't specify a budget range, but in the <$5K (new) range, I strongly suggest you try to listen to both the Placette active (solid state) and the First Sound Presence Deluxe MkII (tube). Both are terrific. | |

| Speakers for small listening room Do people consider 11 x 18 a small room? Seems mid-size to me and certainly big enough to handle a floostander. (I've heard rumors to the effect that HP's pirmary listening rooms are no bigger than this, and he puts godzilla-sized speakers in them... | |
| Krell vs Levinson vs Pass vs Rowland [Sorry for the topic drift...] Those of you who are Rowland enthusiasts--which models do you recommend? Has there been a major change in the sound of their amps from, say, the Model One to the Two to the current offerings? There are plenty of Mode... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time John Hiatt indeed. And Joe McDonald--holy cow....Bass Strings | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time Dylan, without question. I continue to be shocked by the sheer number of great songs he has penned, many of which were made "hits" by other artists (hell, some artists built their careers largely on the back of Bob tunes). Garcia-Hunter deserve me... | |
| The Best of Naxos' classical catalog Gregm, Sugarbrie, can you recommend any favorite Decca/London reissues? | |
| The Best of Naxos' classical catalog I have bought several of them and appreciate that they offer some slightly obscure things, such as the Bax, some Gerald Finzi (I love Gerald Finzi), and others (I think these things are somehat obscure). Price is great, what have you got to lose? ... |
