| Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum? David, i've never told that the hum is from the table. There shouldn't be any grounding problems with RB300 either except when there are some manufacturing deffects.The first party to call should be Immedia to report a problem with the cartridge.B... | |
| Old ARC tube amps I think that you'd be better of with old Mac stuff rather than ARC.IMHO I was not impressed with vintage ARC amps at all. | |
| Spades or bananas Bananas are more convenient especially if you need to schuffle between speakers or speaker wires. Bananas can perform almost like spades if you clean them often. If you don't need to unplug your speaker wire every time I suggest no termination and... | |
| The Totem Wind Loudspeakers I own Totem Forest and aim to upgrade for Winds. They're both pretty-much designed to perform in small to mid-size rooms. There is no 2-way system that can spit such a great bass as Totem Forest.I've auditoned Winds with BAT VK60 monos in the demo... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? By default components shouldn't be a cable-sencitive at all but there again plays the marketing side.Some of the manufacturers will advice you to use only audiophile grade cables and some are fine with pro-grade or even RadioShack. | |
| Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum? ...ain't rock-n-roll only in the world David, but for even listening to Metallica I would bet more on Basis1400. | |
| Is it my imagination? ...that's exatly the way... | |
| Any cheap silver cables for Talon Khorus? I'm the Van Den Hul fan since they give you a possibility to get unterminated wire that you can use as a realy great cable. If you visit their website wwww.vandenhul.com you will find a huge chart of wires or just by simply calling them you will g... | |
| Lyra Lydian Beta, Rega hum? The only thing that left for you to do is to contact Immedia and report that problem. It might be a problem with cartridge internal wiring. BTW Rega turntable is a big compromise for Lyra but it shouldn't hum. Lyra can deliver much more from the B... | |
| Audioquest or Transparent? The Transperent VS. AudiotQuest theorem:For any type of Transperent cable there can always be a better AudioQuest cable for the same price or even cheaper. | |
| RCA plugs that don't fit. I had the same problem with Cardas RCA. These RCA plugs weren't solid ahd had a "6-teeth" structure. I inserted a wire pliers inside and streched(very carefully) the opposite "teeth" on each plug. | |
| Passive pre with Bryston 7B ST?? ...that's how it's suppose to work. Having sencitivity of .8V and the source output of 2V you won't need any extra gain.Try it with Creek OBH14 and it'll smoke Bryston BP25 in your case. | |
| Placette pre amp I'm the passive folk too but there are certain conditions must meet before you'll get into no-preamp listening. Most of SET and Triode amps have a low sensitivity and will loose a great deal of dynamics when coupled directly with the source. There... | |
| Anybody willing to admit? I dare to admit that keeping just 6 or several vinyls or CDs will not suit me since when I start listening(especially on weekends) I may pick up upto 25 recors and play them either whole or selective parts. I can even delay it for the next day.:) | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? ...and DD adict guy -- this isn't a VOODOO it's quite real to me. |
