| Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile? Hi Defiant, To your original question about whether streaming is worthy of an audiophile, I'd say the answer can be yes. I don't have Tidal, but there are other methods. I'm using a Naim UnitiServe which gets the broadband music feeds from radio... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! A TII 220 ground loop isolator put in between the cable line and cable box did it for me. Best $22 I ever spent. This was after checking grounding, electricians that found nothing and adding a hydra 8 into the system. Good luck. | |
| Help ! Best MC cartridge for Linn LP12? Papafrgog, you mention Lyra as a possibility. I'm using a Skala, table about the same as yours and an AR Ref 2SE phone pre. Great combination. Open top end, nice mids and strong control of the bass. No 'house sound'. Might be worthwhile to give a ... | |

| What's been your turntable ownership over the years? Dual table with, I think, a number two slide in cartridge in the 1980s. By about 1990 bought a Rega Panar 2. Nagoka MP-11 boron cartridge. Had the opportunity to upgrade so I bought a lRega Planar 3 with a Rega Exact cartridge. The yellow one.Then... | |
| Meadowlark Blue Heron - gas tweeter leak problem? Yes they're still doing the repair. I just got my HD3P's repaired by Moca Audio for my blue heron's. 65Euros/tweeter. Adding in USPS shipping and fees (bank transfer or PayPal) took it to a bit over $200, so not bad. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Try Sunny Sumter's album Sunny on Mapleshade records. The first song called Nick of Time is mesmerizing. | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table I agree with BRF/lewm to get it tuned up first and listen for a while. It's a nice table.You might also want to consider the Kore subchassis upgrade right up front. That's about $1,200. Just did that on my 15 year old LP12 and the difference is ex... | |
| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? If you're buying new speakers let her choose the color / finish. That way she's in charge of the décor. Worked for me with some boxy speakers that otherwise have a low WAF. She still loves how they look. Good luck. | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE Do you have a cable box anywhere in the house? From what I've seen, it doesn't need to be physically connected to the preamp/receiver to put the hum into the system. A ground loop isolator on the cable line worked for me. I used a TII 220 by TII N... | |
| Meadowlark Blue Heron - gas tweeter leak problem? Hi Michael, Your info on the HD3P replacement is very helpful. I have Meadowlark BH's with that now-deflated tweeter.How were you able to remove the HD3P's? I removed the screws, tried to wedge them out, put a hair dryer on to melt the gasket and ... | |
| here is my delima............ Hi Kennesawjet, I'm glad you worked it out. Thanks for the info on the Tara cables.The reason I asked was because I had a "missing" midrange problem too. In my case it had to do with the jumpers I was using on my speakers. The speakers have separa... | |
| Best amp for Meadowlark Blue Herons? I have the original Blue Heron's with the piezoelectric tweeters and use a pair of Conrad Johnson Premier 12 monoblocks (140 watts each) and a CJ CT5 pre. I did he Teflon capacitor upgrade on the Premier 12's.The dealer used CJ, so I figured that ... | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please Ralph, Have you thought about Conrad Johnson? I have a CT5 that I believe would meet your criteria. I believe it's the first one of theirs with Teflon capacitors that really tighten the sound from the earlier generations of CJ. I use it with Shuny... |
