| Crackling distortion LL, if you eliminated the electronics it's either the TT set-up, or the speakers which I assume are fine. I have some familiarity with DV and I would be pretty surprised that your low output cartridge is overloading your receiver's phono input sec... | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Thanks Ngjockey -- that's exactly what I was looking for. In fact, I think it responds to the OP. | |
| Crackling distortion Agree with Tswisla -- buy a Radio Shack el cheapo digital. | |
| Crackling distortion Butt end up. Adust by ear. | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Duke (Audiokinesis) - thanks for that cogent explanation. However, it riases a bunch of other questions for me.First is, when a speaker manufacturer publishes frequency response specs, how can they possibly apply to BOTH tube and SS amps at the sa... | |
| Crackling distortion Last lemming, glad to hear that your problem is cleaned up (pun - LOL). I have a similar rig: VPI Classic and DV 20X2 HO (back-up carty). Just a Q and and 2 "fyi's." The Q is how did you adjust azimuth? The fyi's are the Sound Smith Counter-Intuit... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video My dear gentlemen, I think this discussion is over. Have a super great day. | |
| The Best Audio Dealer Trelja, I live in the Philly area. I know Mike at STO. Real nice guy. Can't say I ever heard of Community Audio. Where are they located? Any nice tales to share about customer service or the types of gear they sell? | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video I kinda like the CI. I think setting azimuth and VTF is frustrating. The CI makes it a lot easier to zero in on where you want to be. Hey Stringreen, you and I share the same views 99.9% of the time. I think the CI costs about 65 or 75 bucks. Why ... | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Xtil6 - Right and agreed. My Q is how many B&M stores really know how to mix and match, especially when there's an inherent bias (pun) that they will sell what they have. | |
| Speaker choice: impedance, sensitivity, and tubes Ralph and Al, just reading over some of my older threads and re-read this one. Just thinking out loud here. I wonder how many retail B&M sales people really grasp the electronic amp/speaker subject discussed in this and other similar OPs. I ho... | |
| Audio Research Contact. Thanks for the offer Gary (Hifigeek). I'm quite flattered. I promise NOT to bug you with questions.I sure hope the Italian company doesn't burn out our ARC friends. It's hard to overstate the importance of the personal touch in our hobby -- and fo... | |
| Audio Research Contact. Gary (Hifigeek), responding to your 12/26 post above. I was able to get through to Chris on Thursday and asked him what was going on with Kal and the telephone situation. Chris was very apologetic, but explained it was a management issue -- unrela... | |
| A most welcome article Not being set-up to handle digital downloads yet, I am indifferent to the increase in download sales. There's a bunch of threads out there that bespeak the virtues and tribulations of digital downloads. I have only one view --it is still unclear t... | |
| VPI Scout setup after watching Frefmer's video The issue of VPI TT anti-skate (AS) has been beat to death. Ok, since it's back on the table (pun intended), I'll put my 2 cents in. Based on my experience, it is completely unclear to me that using AS (via the wire twist method or the VPI AS cont... |
