May 10, 2012	Tweeter Distortion I'm thinking with starting with purchasing a contact conditioner.Any suggestions?
May 09, 2012	Tweeter Distortion Great idea- will do!I'll keep you posted
May 09, 2012	Tweeter Distortion I did an experiment, and hooked up my trusty old Superphon Dual Mono preamp, and the distortion seemed to disappear. I'm really starting to think the culprit is the Conrad Johnson PF2 preamp.It's over 20 years old, and it might need to be serviced...
May 08, 2012	Tweeter Distortion I'm also thinking it could be my aging Conrad Johnson PF-2 preamp?I'll check the contacts- that's an easy start.
May 07, 2012	Tweeter Distortion Well, that was interesting! The upper distortion was audible on the other speakers as well? What's strange is that I thought it might be my 15 year old CD player, but I seem to have the same problem on my turntable as well?
May 07, 2012	Tweeter Distortion Well- that was interesting1 the uppse distortion was audible in the other speakers!Now what?My old CD player is over 15 years old- could it be that? But then again, it seems like it's also there with my turntable?
May 05, 2012	Tweeter Distortion That's interesting. I just split my 15 foot Kimber Kable and terminated them into 2 pairs of 7.5 foot sections to bi-wire my speakers. I don't think that's the problem, but I'll check.
May 05, 2012	Tweeter Distortion Good idea,I have a pair of bookshelves I'll use to see if it's the speakers themselves.
Mar 19, 2012	CD Player Recommendation I'm kind of interested in an audio-only player for around $500.00. There are lots of video blue ray players that also play SACD, but I'm not interested in those. I guess my question is wether I should go for a really nice CD player, or try to find...
Mar 18, 2012	CD Player Recommendation That is a good recommendation- thanks. Does it decode SACDs?
Mar 15, 2012	Modding a Rotel RCD 855 I guess i have the typical audiophile disease- always wanting something slightly better- even when I'm happy with the sound of my current equipment.i'll consider the RCD-971.I am curious about the SACD players- but a bit hesitant to get into it.
