| Stylus alignment help Check the stylus assembly is fully home first. I would align it so it matched the template. Whether it'll be all that noticeable as it is is another thing. | |
| Turntable + Preamp Ground? Good to hear. | |
| hooked up TT and preamp to receiver sound fades out after 4-5 seconds Connect the phono amp output into a different input on the receiver. | |
| Decca carts I’ve used a Decca Super Gold since the late 80s with mixed results until I installed it on a Jelco 750 12". I works perfectly with or without the damping oil. It also works better into 47k and some say 1Meg. If you load it down any more, you lose ... | |
| Decca carts Unless you buy a Decca new, you should send it to JW for service and possibly a new stylus. Set up right, they are superb. I'm not sure I agree with your idea to ameliorate the detail and speed of the Decca with the "creamy" Quicksilver. | |
| Turntable + Preamp Ground? Let the group know how you get on and how it sounds. Make sure you put that TT on a good support. | |
| Somehow I've got myself a "WTF" dilema with my newly setup Turntable. HELP! Try the phone IC into Left of Aux and Right of Tuner. See if switching sources still plays audibly. Trying to ascertain if the pre/power amp is loading the phono amp incorrectly - i.e. a phone amp issue. If it does play on one channel for both sou... | |
| Turntable + Preamp Ground? The Rega arm ground is linked internally to the cabling. You should be okay to just hook it up to the phono amp without a specific ground connection. | |
| Annoying sounds from cars at stop light What is with the subs driven to total overload such that they are buzzing and vibrating? Perhaps the thicker skulls of their owners require a higher volume. Glad I don't have to put up with that racket. | |
| Whats in your second system? I upgraded my TT, preamp and monoblocs to better versions of the same items. Those replaced items make up the second rig (with the addition of digital.)Forgot to list it! Garrard 401 with 12" Jelco 750 and Ortofon MC3, Croft 25 phono/pre, EICO HF ... | |
| What makes a good tonearm? I get great results with Jelco SA-750 (9" and 12"). They run Decca/London cartridges beautifully. If they can do that, they can handle anything! (except high compliance cartridges) | |
| Ekco EV55 using 6550's in place of KT88 I swapped in 4 x GE 6550 for KT88s in my TVA(fire!)1 with no issues. | |
| Advice for a Tube Amp, TT setup only As far as budget goes, spend as much as you can from the start. When you decide to upgrade, you will lose money on the gear you compromised on. | |
| What is it that you don't like about your Listening Room ? Too cold in winter. | |
| Morrison 1.8 speaker. Anybody knows how to connect them to the amp ? I'm going by a photo of the terminal online. 2 pairs of red/ black? Parallel wire together Red to red and black to black with jumpers and wire amp to any red and black pair. If that doesn't work you should meter them to check for a short circuit. |
