Glanz toners for dummies
@mikelavigne  thanks. When reading the Glanz site all the copy reads the same. Unfortunately the upper arm is out of reach but still believe the lower arm will be an upgrade over my current arm. I’m looking to run Phasemation and similar carts whi... 
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
I wish the 5.5 had the glowing logo like the meteess #16   
The new Coda S5.5 amplifier: It's a "Petite Beast"!
@johnah5  sonically what separates the new 5.5 and the #8? They are relatively close in price. I’m curious as to what would prompt one to select one vs the other.  
Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats
@badgerdms  I have been very curious about the Origin Live weight. All the layers of wood to absorb vibrations and such makes sense to me. I may take the plunge.  
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
@ghdprentice ​​@lewm got home and swapped cords again. I get sound from both outputs. Playing with the ground alters the tone of the buzz a little bit that’s it. old phono preamp back in and quiet as a tomb.   seems like sloppiness here but I... 
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
@lewm it’s a buzz. Like overdriven guitar sort of. I put the old phono back in (Andover SpinStage) and it’s dead silent again.   ill play with it tonight and see what I can glean from it. I’m in touch with the importer as well.   edit: forgot... 
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
I just had a thought. Since the phono and power supply are in wood boxes instead of metal would they’ve more susceptible to interference?  
Phono cable not caps to le with preamp?
@ghdprentice  I have done this yes. I also tried various different cables and plugged into different outlets. I also moved the power supply as far away as the umbilical allows and moved the unit itself away from everything else. my cables are shi... 
Transimpedance has too much gain?
@pinwa  thanks. I may do that.  
Transimpedance has too much gain?
Thanks @lewm  I will run a couple tests tonight.    I know little to nothing on things electrical but what you said makes sense.   should know more later.  
Transimpedance has too much gain?
@mijostyn ​@lewm  unfortunately I DK t have another cart to test.  The album I specifically mentioned I’ve owned in cassette, cd, Lp in several versions/masterings. It’s always been a good sounding album. It still is a good sounding album other th... 
Transimpedance has too much gain?
@pinwa they sound more alike then different but the Spinstsge is more lively. I like it a lot otherwise I’d just send it back. What it does right it does beautifully. What it does “wrong” keeps me up at night. I bought the ipower SMPS but also t... 
Transimpedance has too much gain?
Thanks @mijostyn  it’s definitely in the 1k - 2k region. The Sutherland 20/20 doesn’t have this forwardness and after going through everything I can only think maybe the gain is off or a cart mismatch.      
Legacy Audio I-V2 anyone?
@jltodd35050    no decision yet. Interested in the v1s or the dual mono single chassis v2.   for the price of monos it’s I. coda #8 territory .  
Andover Spindeck is really good
@pinwa  100% agree. Nuance is the only thing I fee it lacks. our experiences are the same. It’s really good.
