| members with no feedback? I get to know the person, and finalize the transaction once I'm comfortable the person is legitimate. Feedback on A'gon isn't the only way a person can learn about online purchasing or selling, and other things like good faith, and honesty. | |
| TAD-60 owners, what tubes are you using? I recently sold my TAD 60. For power I had run Svetlana EL34s, SED Wing C EL34s, Valve Art KT88's, and Shuguang KT100's. All were very good except for the Svetlanas which are merely average. I was running Raytheon 5814's (to the best of my recolle... | |
| The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis? I took a day to think about this and I guess the style (period) I prefer is mood dependent. That is, what mood I'm in. I agree with the comments on his genius, and influence. | |
| Vertical vs Horizontal Bi-amp I think another benefit, if you're using identical amps, may come from the fact in horizontal biamp the bass amp will need to drive more current than amps running in vertical biamp. The work required of the power supply is balanced - again amplifi... | |
| Loud hum in one channel sounds like a phone pre is the issue. | |
| HT Proc/Preamp to Analog Preamp w/o passthru? Is it possible to run the balanced outputs from the surround processor into one set of the analog preamp's balanced inputs and then simply make sure the volume control on the analog preamp is always set at the same volume? Yes. what volume you cho... | |
| Loud hum in one channel when you say it moves when you "switch leads", do you mean when you swap interconnects from the table to pre, or when you swap cartridge/headshell leads? I assume you mean the former, and in that case I would suspect a poor connection at the heads... | |
| Rotel RB1080 vs Odyssey Stratos vs McCormack DNA I run amps older than the DNA1s and have zero issues with them. If you're hearing popping and clicking noises I doubt it's from your amp.One thing that hasn't been mentioned here related to your cabinet situation is ventilation. If it's as tight a... | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? hmm . . . I started watching this thread with interest in picking up the JatPS. It's turned into one of the more entertaining threads this year though . . . | |
| Bookshelf speakers with the good bass. Totem Mani-2s have excellent bass ((to ~30Hz) and sound great top to bottom. You need lots of power for them though. | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? I'd be curious to hear from other audiophiles as to the 'level' of their affliction. Mine isn't noticeable except when there is no other sound. Music masks it perfectly, but in a quiet room it's there, and in varying degrees I assume caused by wha... | |
| Anyone successful in dealing with Tinnitus? My doctor told me listen to music - "it will cover up the ringing". This was actually a major victory, because my wife told me the ringing was **because** I listen to too much music ;-) I have noticed that my tinnitus comes and goes with more or l... | |
| Cleaning out my closet Classifieds are free on Asylum, and there are a lot of guys trolling there for vintage gear (even if in need of repair) and even old parts to cannibalize. If you don't want to hassle with selling then take it to goodwill . . . | |
| ACI Titan subwoofer hookup options I don't have my manual handy, but recall reading somewhere(possibly in the manual, possibly on the ACI website) that the speaker level adapter had a "built in resistance". The only question is how much resistance? I would like to find out too sinc... |
