| Subsonic Rumble Solutions The solution I just got around to using is a good, and easy one, though somewhat expensive. I just a day or so ago changed the equalization from standard RIAA to IEC in my Simaudio LP 5.3 phono pre, which has the filter built in. What a difference... | |
| What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII Hi 'Snappin, I've tried raising and lowering the VTA, and have settled on about parallel, or a tad down in the back. I really didn't notice that much difference, though, so I quit messing with it. Lowering the resistive loading seemed to make much... | |
| I Love Shirley Bassey I agree, Nyctc7 I've always loved her voice, but never knew whar a knockout she is. I'll have to see if I can track down some lp's of hers. Thanks, Dan | |
| What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII Mmmm, lot of smart folks on this site! Thanks Tvad, and Nsgarch, and many so others that have helped my analog front end sound so spectacular. (It really does!) Thanks to all, Dan | |
| What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII I thank you all for your responses. Last night, I tried 470ohms, 100, and back down to 10ohms. 10ohms seems to work best for my equipment and temperament. Golden Imports Symphonies Nos. 1, "Nordic" and 3, Howard Hanson, sounded outstanding. I'll j... | |
| What loading do you use on your Dynavector XX2MKII I have had it at 100, now 10, Dynavector recommends 30. Dan | |
| isolation???HELP It would be helpful to know what you have tried up to this point, if anything. You might do what I have done, which is to use a wall-mount platform, a Brightstar Audio BigRock under the table, and spring suspension under the Brightstar. Not too ex... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster I'll wager if you haven't properly set up your arm/cart with the MintLP, you're only realizing 50-60% of what it can really do, given you get azimuth, and anti-skate set. I keep saying this, but Mapleshade NanoMount System is an amazing and inexpe... | |
| A Revolution??? Hi Oregon, I hail from Whidbey Island, some ways north of you in Puget Sound. You say you want to start a revolution? Maybe I could borrow one of your Lencos to see if I might want to join in with you. (Just kidding). What other gear do you use to... | |
| Integrate AVR and 2-Channel; Why so complicated? Hi, I have done what you are looking at. Yes, it is complicated in the way I have done it, but but that is the only compromise, as two-channel is the main focus, with vinyl alongside cd/sacd/multi-channel, and video sources last in the priority li... | |
| Dedicated line problem Hello Glory, I had a similar situation in my home/system. I tried everything to get rid of it (drove me nuts), and finally determined a bad earth ground was the major culprit. I dug up the ground rod by the meter base, and found the thing in a ver... | |
| Vienna Acoustics sounded terrible at Magnolia Hi, I have had similar experiences at Magnolia, and even at Definitive Audio. Even at home. I have found it takes (for me, anyway), years to get the most out of any given audio system. Though you'd think an audio store could and would do a better ... | |
| Suggestions on a Musical, Full Range Speaker I am using Dynaudiio Contour 5.4's in my large (16x30) room, with great results. Listening is always a good experience. I have found, however, they sound their best when located 6' from back wall, and 5' from side walls in an equilateral triangle ... | |
| Would a Dynavector XX2 MkII be good upgrade? Ian, I'm using the JMW9 Signature arm, and ever since I used the MintLP Tractor, I've been very satisfied and surprised at how good it sounds. Once you get yours there, I'm sure you'll feel the same as I do. Good luck on your seaker situation, hop... | |
| Fluctuations of the loudness of speakers??? Most problems with electronics involve connections. I would clean all connections (the Caig A/V Survival Kit does the job well). Then treat all connections with Mapleshade SilClear or similar. That may solve your problem. If not, you may have a ba... |
