I’ve just switched over to another amp while my usual is in the shop and I’ve noticed when the volume is turned right up I can hear static with a radio signal/voice. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there any suggestions to beat it? When I switch to another channel with a digital source and then turn up the volume, the amp is dead quiet. When I remove the head shell from the arm the radio pickup disappears. Signal path is Denon DL-100 -> Technjcs 1210 -> EAR 834P -> Nikko 5055 receiver. Thanks

Hi, This question is for those who use power conditioners in their stereo setups. What do you notice when using them? Is the improvements night and day? Subtle? Do you notice it more on amps? turntables? DACs? What is a good starting point? Is it worth trying to borrow one first to see if any benefits can be found?

I just opened a ticket to discogs. What kills me is this: 1. Seller in EU/UK prices their item to include VAT 2. When sent to Australia, the VAT cost is not removed (this can be demonstrated on sellers who also have an online shop as well and the prices are the same) 3. On top of cost including VAT there is 10% increase due to GST 4. Essentially Australian buyer is paying not only the (approx.) 20% VAT, 10% GST, they are also paying GST on this VAT amount. What will be even worse from this is that I can see some greedy Australian record stores who price their records off the selling prices of Discogs adding an extra 10% to their general prices as well (on top of the 10% GST they already charge).

I came across this interesting resource recently: http://dgmono.com/mono-cartridge-database/ A list of mono carts and their various details. A question though, I have read conflicting reports around the Miyajima Kotetu cart. Some saying it does have vertical compliance and others saying it doesn't. Can anyone here confirm? Any other Mono MC carts that aren't on this list which is true mono and with vertical compliance that anyone can recommend?

Hi All, Thanks for all the replies. I’ve essentially paid a small refundable deposit on the valve amp to borrow it for a couple of weeks to see if it suits my system-nothing lost nothing gained. The amp is a Golden Tube Audio SE-40 power amp. The seller has explained it has had a series of upgrades but also one value input removed which has brought the output down from 40 watts to 20 watts. I’ve given it an audition with a pair of Tannoy Venus MK II speakers (93db sensitivity) and there’s definitely some great room filling synergy happening here, sounds great. Completely different to the CM6s. Should a difference of 5db make such a difference? Thanks Andrew

Hi All, I’m currently trying out a 20 watt valve amp at my place at the moment. While early impressions are good, my speakers (B&W CM6 S2) do not appear to be a good match as I cannot get my volume happening at all (at about 1 o’clock the volume is still below say talking levels). Any recommendations for more efficient speakers to keep an eye out for? Preferably second hand under $1000. Thanks

That’s the confusing part! My SUT (EAR MC-3) has inputs for 4, 12 and 40 ohms. The 40 ohms equates to 1:10 which is 400 ohms.

Hi, After being confused about this too, I wrote to my SUT designer (Tim de Paravicini from EAR Yoshino) and he confirmed that the 40 ohms input (IE 1:10) is the best option for the Hana SL. PS, fantastic cartridge, listening to it now.

Hi, I am interested in these speakers but I’m not sure how the impedance works. Does the 25 ohms make them unsuitable for 8 ohm amps? My integrated amp is 80 Watts using class AB but has a class A switch at 20 watts. Thanks

Thanks just PM’d
