| Can I ground my preamp? Rrog, disconnect the interconnects from your amp and turn it on. If there is still hum, you have a problem in the amp. This is unlikely. If not put the ic between the preamp into the amp, but with nothing plugged into the preamp. If you have hum, ... | |
| Can I ground my preamp? I have a Granite Audio grounding system. You can hear some reduction of noise with some settings, but it does not resolve a ground loop problem.I have yet to find a system that was not improved making the preamp the only grounded unit. Some are ve... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? Jwglista, in contrast with Larry, I think the LSA2 will overload a small room. The reason I recommend the Statement models is that John Tucker puts a folded ribbon tweeter and an upgraded crossover. | |
| EXPLAIN HD SACDs to me. Vernneal, I suspect that the earlier posters are correct that you are really asking about HDCDs. Only the Crystal chip set, I believe, plays HDCDs, which have been somewhat lost with Micro Soft buy this format. The original Oppo uses this chip set... | |
| LSA 1 Monitors in a small room?? Jwglista, I have a very small room and given prior experience with the LSAIIs, I would strongly recommend the LSA1s. You can put them on the LSA stands. I would also strongly recommend that you move up to the LSA1 Statements with substantial modif... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident Bvdiman, I heard that Tidal was coming out with a sub for the Contrivas. I bought the Zu at a good price. As you know, I was not having any real problems with bass and the Contrivas. Heaven knows the Sanders Audio amp's 900 watts per side is enoug... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident I have owned a Zu Method subwoofer since June, but I just got around to installing it, in part because of my being gone for three months. I must say that as Murat might suggest, it does improve the sound. The Method does have an invert phase butto... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Flashunlock, my H-Cat amp has its transformer on one side and I do put one MIG under it there. I have found that on many components, I have to place MIGs to assure the balance of the component on them. I have light components and heavy SR pcs. Thi... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Maxwellssilverhammer, I must admit that at CES when I saw that they were going to be demonstrated on a StillPoints rack, I doubted that they would be very impressive, but I also knew that Denny would not do so were they not. Like everyone in the d... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Ical, this is more serious than the problem I had. Peterayer, you took me aback with the question of timing for the Walker enzyme treatment. I allow 30 seconds for this stage at the recommendation of Lloyd Walker. I can see that allowing 10 minute... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident Murat, either get the Tidal T1 or the Eminent Technology TRW 17. I have seen it bounce pictures off the wall at 3 Hz and realistically reproduce an earthquake. I have no interest in doing either, however. You can cook your viscera with it, I shoul... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Ical, I would call Audiodesk. I think all you need is new glue.Petrayer, in my review of the Audiodesk I found it consistently improved LPs previously cleaned with the Loricraft or the other machine I had at the time a VPI 16.5 with a delrin tube ... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Ical, I did and returned my review sample. I was told that it was the glue holding them and had been fixed. Is yours an older one? | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident Murataltuev, I have bass down to about 14 Hz and have a very large room, 18 x 26 x 11.5 feet. I am on the second floor with wooden flooring and do feel the impact on me of the bass on pianos and the decay of timpani and the oscillations of 16 Hz o... | |
| Tidal Sunray vs Gryphon Trident Having heard the Tidal Contriva Dicera SEs last year at both the RMAF and CES, I bought them and now have them settled in. I still find them the best speakers I have heard. I heard the Kaweros last year and had no interest in them and I also heard... |
