| 60 Cycle Hum If it is a toroid hum from DC on the line then a Humbuster from PS Audio is a good way to go. But the first step I would take is to open the amp up and tighten the bolts on the power supply's toroid if they seem loose. But Humbuster and this fix w... | |
| VPI Classic 3 I have had far more problems with UPS damage than FedEx. Best of luck getting this resolved. Hang in there, with either company it can be hairy getting claims resolved. | |
| bi-wire vs jumpers I have also heard that this depends on the speakers. Some may have been designed to be biwired, others less so (even though the option is available on the back of the speakers). | |
| Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000 Tranquility is a good choice for sure if you are going USB only. If you need multiple inputs, chuck out the Schiit Gungnir.To get some great DSP capabilities, check out the DSPeaker Dual Core. An amazing sounding and amazingly versitile component. | |
| Can "Dark"Sounding Speakers Be "Brightened"UP??? Amps might help. Some amps are certainly more forward than others. Or an EQ of some type. People (including myself) are raving about the DSPeaker Dual Core. It has digital DSP for bass but also a very customizable EQ, along with 4 settings that ca... | |
| LP12 vs Classic III vs. ?? vs.?? I would also suggest looking into the Well Tempered Amadeus or the Townshend Rock 7. Robert Greene's reviews of these in The Absolute Sound sum up their sound nicely (WTA=top down; Rock=bottom up).I have had and loved both (went with Rock due to b... | |
| The best preamp for Rouge M-180 I don't see any reason it might not be a good match. Usually SS preamps have lower output impedance, which is a good thing in terms of matching with amps (you want at least 10x less than the amps input impedance across the frequency spectrum). I'd... | |
| Von Schweikert VR-6 or Wilson Audio Watt/Puppies 5 Duomike, I would be interested in hearing what you would recommend at that price point. | |
| PurePowerAPS Canada concern Looks like the Taiwan company also using the PurePower name is being renamed due to the loss of a lawsuit (don't know their new name). I have heard that they are much better to deal with than the Canadian folks. | |
| Hi-Fi Shop in Colombia, SC Dukes BBQ in Orangeburg. Worth the trip. | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? I personally would wait until the newer 103 and 105 are released and reviews are out on those. You could always still go with a used 95, but the 105 in particular has some very nice features (can input digital and be used as just a DAC; has a head... | |
| Does anyone still miss the old Audiogon format? I recently discovered that Audiogon will not allow you to send your e-mail address in messages. And they do not give you any e-mail notification of this (which I get when a new mesage is received). I happened to look in my inbox the other day to s... | |
| PurePowerAPS Canada concern There was a very similar post to this a little while back:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ymisc&1348390094Not the kind of customer service I want from a company for sure. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Morgan, The Psvane MkII is the grey colored tube? How do you like it? I haven't been able to find much info on the Grey MkIIs, nor many sellers of the MkIIs. | |
| Graham Phantom or Morch DP6 ? Thanks very much for that comparison, Wrm57 |
