| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio As an active learner…anything to say about crossover points? I experiment here, and have a hard time settling on settings…seems to be volume related. Totem Forest Signature, powered by Accuphase E-380, and an REL Classic 98 sub. Small wood pane... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? Update! Crutchfield has agreed to send me a customer return unit in return for my “broken” unit. They pay for shipping both ways. This is what I had hoped for, and feels fair. +1 for Crutchfield. | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? OP here. I am within the “warranty” period, just not within the “replacement” period. | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? OP here…. I’m not here to complain. I’m new to spending this much money in this hobby. Am just trying to understand what’s customary, and maybe about successes or ideas folks may have had in these situations The input has been clarifying. That ... | |

| Can a poorly connected XLR connection cause a reduced(less loud) signal? How do I know cables are good, I purchased a cable tester from Amazon. Love it! Highly recommended piece of kit for tinkering audiophiles. See link. Amazon : Behringer CT200 Microprocessor-Controlled 8-in-1 Cable Tester | |
| Can a poorly connected XLR connection cause a reduced(less loud) signal? Thanks @elliottbnewcombjr Yes, I have switched back to RCA, and things work as designed. It’s an “OK” solution, as I purchased and paid extra for, these two pieces so that I could connect them in balanced fashion. I’ve reached out to ROSE HIFI ... | |
| Can a poorly connected XLR connection cause a reduced(less loud) signal? Thanks for all the responses. I have tried multiple new cables, but have also ordered a cable tester, and tomorrow will be able to know for sure about cable. I have seen other posts on the ROSE HIFI forum that these connectors could be problemat... | |
| XLR Pinouts on Thorens TD1601 Thanks team. | |
| XLR Pinouts on Thorens TD1601 thanks @imhififan @lewm, this is helpful info, and what I was looking for. In your last response, I assume ANY ONE of the three, and NOT ALL three, correct? Can I use a multi-meter to test the polarity coming out of the Thorens via XLR? thx, gem | |
| XLR Pinouts on Thorens TD1601 Thx @imhififan, good info. I’ll keep trying to get the pin out on the turntable. If the turntable use a the “American“ standard, and I did not want to engage the phase button, I would need to rewire the XLR‘s, meaning swap, hot and cold on one ... | |
| Integrated for Cornwall IV Another vote for the Accuphase E-280. I own the E-380, and I’m very pleased, though don’t run Klipsch (Totem Forest Signature). The high efficiency of the Cornwall should make the E-280 plenty powerful. Enjoy the misc. | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio I did pull the trigger on the Schitt Skoll, and the Thorens TD 1601. Very happy. I’m running it fully balanced XLR from the turntable to the integrated. The noise floor is zero. I’ve never heard a single hum, which plagued my old rig. My only com... | |
| Replaced Everything, New Gears waiting to be installed... @grislybutter @zlone I feel you on the closeness of the speakers. I live in a small cabin, and space is constrained. It’s hard to see in the picture, but I have the speakers pulled forward of the rack, where the majority of the sound is coming f... | |
| Replaced Everything, New Gears waiting to be installed... Thanks everyone. Wow, exceeding my expectations. As I completed the install Friday night, I realized I had gone hours without food or drink, needed to sit and chill. If it’s going to get better with break-in, then count me in! The Thorens TD-1601... |
