| Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25? Looks like I’m gonna give a Rogue Audio RP5 a go for round one here. I can source one locally, plus it has a phono stage, which is interesting to me. See if the phono stage can come anywhere close to my Herron. I should have it in the next day or... | |
| help with clearance between sme 3009 arm's tube and arms lifter assembly Ok, so the arm and lifter move as one? Isn’t there a screw in the back of the lifter plate/clamp to adjust the lifter up, down and rotationally relative to the arm? And, yes, I did misspeak. You need to lower the arm so that when the stylus is on ... | |

| Transparent Cables @divertiti what the ‘F’ does that have to do with Transparent Cables? Keep it on topic. | |
| Anyone running a tube preamp with a Pass XA25? Sure, many great tube preamps avail. I’m looking for specifics with the XA25... | |
| help with clearance between sme 3009 arm's tube and arms lifter assembly Raise the arm a few millimeters. Might be your only solution. A level arm is a good start point, but not set in stone. I run mine just below level... | |
| Quality IEC connectors? Yeah, generally no reason to go through the nut roll of swapping that out. Plus, it WOULD degrade the value as you would have to mention it was done. To that, check Parts Connexion or VHAudio for Furutech and other IECs if you are hell bent. | |
| Repair for a Hegel? Take the battery out of your remote, then operate the volume by touch, see if it happens again. If it does, problem with the unit, if not, might be time for a new remote... | |
| Transparent Cables For a small fee you can look directly at the Agon blue book and get a solid value for the cables. Alternatively, you can look at other ads and previous sales to help determine a solid ballpark. | |
| SQ vs. Music So here is something... my wife and I sat down to listen to a bit of Norah the other day.... (some of you might get that) anyway, my wife is singing away doing her thing, I’m sitting there noticing a little sibilance here, a pop there... I’m askin... | |
| Schumann Resonator I will say, I am not a cool aide drinker, never have been. In fact, I am the guy that looks to refute the popular norm. Particularly anything that might look too good to be true. After researching the SG, it seems to have some veracity. Not only i... | |
| Schumann Resonator Being a pulse frequency, I not sure any speaker made could produce the wave. My simple understanding is, it is a low frequency magnetic pulse that helps nullify EMI etc. On the music front, I liken it to a subwoofer’s effect on bringing in the who... | |
| Anyone else treated poorly by AVA? These small shops are doing the best they can, I’ve got a piece on order from Decware. Their usual turn time is 6ish weeks. Currently it is 4 to 6 months. So the guy didn’t call you about his head guy having to go out of town, while I understand y... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming Yeah, vinyl is a flawed thing, but so great too. I agree about new pressings and remastered. Most just aren’t good, but some are. I’ve purchased many “new” albums, only to later seek out the original copies. I would think I would learn. Digital ca... | |
| SQ vs. Music Oh, tough one, sort of. Being a musician I tend to hear differently. Different things stick out, different things are less noticed. Being a drummer the rhythm is what hits me, lyrical content, hardly ever. So what I hear is very important to what ... |
