    Black Ice Audio Fusion 9 MK III - Journey to sound - any additional thoughts

    I recently acquired a new Black Ice Fusion 9 MK III phono preamp. After resolving other issues in my system, I was able to focus on getting it dialed in. It now sounds glorious. My efforts focused on reducing the noise floor and increasing the natural sound of the instruments. For explanation I...

    Complex System Inquiry

    Hello. I recently purchased two SOUNDBOKS 2 BlueTooth speakers; both of which are active/self-powered. I connected these two SOUNDBOKS 2s w/ a Fiio A3 "Head-Amp" using an AUX splitter (for the two AUX cords running from both speakers) inserted into the "Headphones Icon" port. In this...

    Do I Have A Phono Preamp / Power Amp Mismatch?

    The set-up is this: A series of unfortunate events this afternoon left me without a phono stage which is an unacceptable condition. As far as I can tell, there is no recourse in this town when one finds themselves in my position that does not involve waiting on shipping except Guitar Center and...

    Why does my Thorens TD160 turntable sound worse than Spotify?

    Hi folks, after a bit of general advice here. I have in recent years brought back into service a THORENS TD160 MK1 turntable that I've had for ages but stopped bothering with vinyl some years ago. Like so many others, and with a decent library of records, I started to get back into it, but so...

    Modding the Harman Kardon 730 phono stage

    About a year ago I bought a sweet little HK730 receiver from a beloved HK'er in the Bay Area, @sberger. After some routine cleaning and maintenance, which included upgrading the power supply and sub-rectifier capacitors, the unit sounded really sweet. It also looks quite spiffy: The tuner...

    Musical Surroundings Nova II phono preamp

    Hi group, Just got my Nova II, which runs off both AC and battery. The manual advises that I should let it charge overnight. Question for anyone who may have one: I'm presuming this means I should not use the preamp until tomorrow - or, is it safe to use on AC today? Although I'm impatient, I...

    KA-7300 phono crackle and pop

    Hi AK I hope some of you might have some pointers for a recent Kenny purchase. I bought a KA-7300 with a defective phono stage (as advertised). The amp otherwise works as expected but produced no sound at all through the phono inputs. The Tuner/Aux inputs that also pass through the board...

    My Sherwood s5000 hums. Help!

    I bought a recapped Sherwood s5000 which hums, most horrendously on the phono stage. Hum is low and acceptable on the monitor input where I plug my ipod in. Problem is I mostly listen to vinyl. My tube-tech friend found that the 4 output tubes weren't rated for the high voltage that this thing...

    Phono Pre-Amp wattage/Speaker question

    So I am putting together a new system soon and I have been shopping for vintage receivers for the TT I am getting. But I also had a quick thought about possibly getting a phono pre-amp. However, what concerns me about the ones I am seeing is they do not seem to have dedicated speaker inputs for...
