| Speaker wants 100 watt RMS. Is 40 watt tube OK? I really appreciate all of the discussion. My local store let me borrow the Mahi Mahi over the weekend and I spend a good amount of time playing with it and swapping back and forth to the Parasound A21. For additional context, my Preamp + Phono is... | |

| $10k Speaker Cables?????????????? Here is a really informative video from Ethan Winer giving background and demo of his Null Tester. He uses to measure differences (or lack thereof) in audio cables.https://youtu.be/ZyWt3kANA3Q | |
| Phono stage hum I figured something interesting out - the hum is there even when the turn table power cord is unplugged.... but only if the TT RCAs are plugged into phono stage.Strange that doesn’t happen with the other TT hooked up to the Manley. | |
| Phono stage hum My amp (parasound a21) has a ground lift option and the hum is still there when enabled. Would testing a cheater plug do anything different?I will confirm the TT rca solder joint to make sure it is ok - but if there was an issue wouldn’t it be pr... | |
| Phono stage hum Both TT tested in same spot and I have also tried moving the phono stage as far away as I could... same result | |
| Phono stage hum I appreciate the tips but the hum didn't go away.A few other notes:The hum is on both speakersThe hum increases/decreases with volumeThe hum is 'mostly' drowned out with music playing but still audible and very audible in between tracks or during ... | |

| Denon 103R load settings w/Moon LP5.3 I appreciate the response. A couple of follow up questions:- I’m using balanced XLR out that add 6 dB gain. Do you recommend the 54dB setting getting me to effective 60 dB? Or the 60 dB setting getting me to 66?- In general, what are the trade off... | |
| Troubleshooting balance issues Appreciate the response however each of those three fall apart when I swap switch the L / R output from the amp. If i put the L speaker cable in the R output from the amp the gain loss moves to the other side of the room. Which would point to th... | |
| Phono Stage for denon 103r reccomendations I was able to get a Moon LP 5.3 ... what settings did you find worked best with your denon? | |
| Equalizer with a Halo P5? I am trying to use a miniDSP ddrc-22a for room correction... and would like it it be global to sub & amp.Have tested putting it in front of the preamp to give global EQ and it integrated the sub and speakers notably well. The issue with it bei... | |
| Equalizer with a Halo P5? The downside with that solution is you can't process/EQ the signal going to the sub unless you split the signal from the EQ and don't use the Sub Out on the p5. |
