| SONY XA5400ES - Preliminary Observations Thanks for your thoughts on this cdp.I also recently picked up one of these units. My previous two cdp that are both less than state of the art/ Sony x7esd from 1989 (top of the line Sony in it's day), the other a Sony sacd changer from about 2000... | |
| Bass reinforcement for very large room I agree with Drew about the multi sub solution. Integration with the mains can be achieved in this large room and seems easier when there are several subs working at lower capacity. I fought this issue in a room that has large size (15x30 with hal... | |
| SET the best? My experience with SET was after several years of experimentation with SS and PP amps matched with a number of speakers. Most recently a few more systems have made their way through, and while some were quite good, I am always in a hurry to get my... | |
| SOTA Star Turntable Vacuum Pump Disable Try removing the top fuse. It will shut the vac down | |
| Sota sapphire platter won't spin Thanks guys for the tip. I did remove the cover and the belt had dropped off into the lower casing. It was a bear to retrieve, but finally got it. The unit works well and sounds very nice. Much appreciated- RW | |
| Sota sapphire platter won't spin The platter does spin by hand. How can I access the belt safely? The platter seems tight that it does not want to lift off. This platter uses the vacuum... Should it lift off easily ? Thanks | |
| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? I know when I had the tubed Scott 4310 tuner I was stunned how it bettered my digital and vinyl sources. Currently my MDyna 101 serves the purpose- but it's no Scott. I'm not surprised to 109 is a great tuner, it ought to be for the price. | |
| What is the Best Integrated tube amp you heard Interesting, The best I have heard is a 300b SET also through Altec 604D speakers. Tho I am driving with two subs crossed at slightly different crossover points. When all is right, there is really nothing better, at least that I've heard here.Chee... | |
| Which Integrated got you off the merry go round? The TAD modded Cayin ta-30 stopped me from serious looking about four years ago I guess. Before that I had used many SS amps with varying satisfaction. I feed some custom Dynaudio monitors with it. I liked the ta-30 so much I then bought (found it... | |
| Life without a remote After some thought, my $.02Getting the right total system needs no remote.Some system needs up/down sound. If you get it right, one sound is all you need for most stuff. It sounds 'right'. Need more, turn it up. Most of the time I doubt I move it ... | |
| help me pick a MM/AP BN reissue - for comparison I'm going to suggest 4043 Speakin' my Piece. Of the set so far I find it to have the best music for my taste as well as the best life and balance in the recording/pressing. I think you can't go wrong with any of them, but if I were to duplicate ju... | |
| CDP caused tinnitus? Gerardff,I also have the low freq motor hum. This one comes and goes and I haven't yet figured out the cause. Feels like around 70-100 hz maybe.The issue I've most suffered is a high freq sound. I don't know the freq range, but seems like is more ... | |
| CDP caused tinnitus? Thanks for the ideas. I will try a different power source and see what happens. For the last few years I've had the cdp plugged into a BPI, I wonder if that could cause any problem here.Thanks for the tip | |
| CDP caused tinnitus? You have several good points here. I had considered that the dynamics may be different, possibly the high freq might accentuate it, or even the speakers were contributing. One thing I was interested in is if it were possible the cdp creates any em... | |
| Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it I think you are making the right move. My best suggestion would be to browse thrift stores for 'starter' vinyl, and let your friends know they can bring over all those old records from the basement for your perusal. Pick only the cleaner albums an... |
