| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Dylanfan...Lots of great advice, and as always, Al has suggested a good idea in trying the different taps on the amp. The consensus is that the room is the problem area in reproducing good sound, but I still say first run your system in a near-fie... | |
| Amplifier humming If you bought an amp new, noticeable transformer hum may be part of warranty service. However, a SLIGHT HUM may be in all their amps that are using that type of transformer.Swampwalker has provided a possible fix. In the case of DC on your power l... | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice So how is nearfield sounding at different volumes and with various music genres? | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Yeah, so you don't have the best CDP, but that doesn't enter into this sound problem.I agree that you should try listening in a near-field setup before buying new gear. Set your listening position about 6 to 7 ft. from speakers. Start by positioni... | |
| Mark Levinson 433 Pop sound Ask Levinson if SE to balanced adapters will work. Not the best ,sound, though | |
| Mark Levinson 433 Pop sound Try using some inexpensive balanced cables as recommended. However, the cables must be truly balanced and not just cables with XLR connectors.Radio Shack carries what they call XLR cables; they don't mention if they are balanced. Look for these...... | |
| Mark Levinson 433 Pop sound Nothing wrong with the ML 433. It's cause the amp is hooked up to a preamp (most likely tubes?)Do what ZD suggests and try a different turn on/off sequence.Turn the preamp ON first, (volume down, source Off). Wait a minute; there may be some click... | |
| New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord I gave the AC-14 XL a try for 30 days. My impression is it's not a significant upgrade over the AC-14SE; which is the great bang for your buck cable. | |
| Tesla Tubes Rsa, Mullard tubes and Telefunken are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Mullard are warm, smooth, with a classic tube sound. Telefunken are more detailed and open.Both are expensive premium tubes and are a risk to purchase without knowing their so... | |
| Tell us your worst audio dealer or mfr. experience. "JtinnDave Gordon at Audio Research flat out lied to me (I was a customer). I will never forget it and I will tell everyone I know."How bout some details? | |
| Trying separates for the first time Right you are, Schubert...The line-level section has a single triode amplifier also direct coupled to a high-current output stage. These output buffer stages minimize the output impedance, making the Classic-2 compatible with nearly all installat... | |
| Trying separates for the first time What's the rest of your system? | |
| Bi-wire jumper config Good idea, Zd. I'd like to know for sure, but first I'll have to get up off my lazy ass. | |
| Bi-wire jumper config I believe there are situations of placebo effect, but here some of Almarg's thoughts on the matter...Keep in mind that the swap will result in different frequency components flowing in the + leg and the - leg of each two-conductor pair of wires. I... | |
| Bi-wire jumper config "I switched it up to "diagonal" config and the soundstage seems a bit deeper and a little wider."Mjmch, I have the same results. (I am also using diagonal jumpers as Nordost suggests). |
