| Turntable Hum Another thought....if the phono pre uses a wall wart and has a plug that is non-polarized, try turning the wart upside-down if possible to see if the noise gets better or worse, or doesn't change at all. In other words, invert the prongs into the ... | |
| Turntable Hum If possible, I would unplug one of the power strips (obviously the one not being used to power the phono pre). But first, you may want to connect any component being used for vinyl listening to just one power strip. Does your phono pre use a wall-... | |
| Words and Sound Gort wears shorts because he's the bashful sort. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers I have a pair of L-570/2s and a pair of L-810s and will not part with either set. The 570s are mated with a Cary SL-100 preamp/PS Audio HCA-2 amp and augmented with a James Loudspeaker S10 subwoofer. Well-balanced and non-fatiguing and just plain ... | |
| 2022 is almost here. Why are you here? I'm just here so I don't get fined..... | |
| A Record Collection/Moral Conundrum - What Would You Do? I'll buy the collection from you, but will need a few weeks to assimilate the funds. In the meantime, I'll stop by and pick up the records, relieving you of your moral dilemma. | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Posted my belly-button response only to find it ended up on page 2, not at the end of page 1, where the original Jeannie belly-button was (and where I was asked to respond). | |
| Member Make Zero Sense Yeah, but I imagined it a 1,000 times, which was probably more fun. | |
| Should I pull the trigger? I was not looking to replace the PSBs, just use the Triangles in a different system. All plans have been put on hold since gas hit $3.30 a gallon here this week, and price hikes at the grocery store continue unabated. Cannot justify spending the m... | |
| Ever Been Too High? High-flying John Denver (until his last flight).....did you know his last name was actually Deutchendorf? No wonder he went with a different moniker. | |
| Ever Been Too High? ghdprentice/contuzzi: Each room where the Sierras were located was well-damped (carpet, upholstered furniture, etc.) and no other speaker I've owned exhibited the characteristic to the extent these did. One of my points of comparison was my Totem ... | |
| Ever Been Too High? I have used them in two different rooms, both almost exactly the same dimensions/shape (square), about 13' x 13'. They have been on Premiere24" high stands in each iteration, and there has been at least one sub in the mix until now. The amps used ... | |
| Are Fall Sales Leveling Out in the Used Market? I agree with Chorus on the legacy issue associated with left-behind stereo gear when an audiophile departs for that big listening-room in the sky. You can see it every day - family members/heirs generally have little use for most possessions of an... | |
| Free Shipping - Be Careful! Shipping is definitely a minefield, and everyone has their own horror stories to contribute. What we have to keep in mind is that shipping companies are not monoliths, but are made up of real people, and therein lies the rub. Most are conscientiou... | |
| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? Thorens TD-160 paired with a Stanton 681EEE cartridge. I paid around $300 total in the mid-70s, best money ever spent for ROI. |
