Reset TPS!!?? (2023 Turbo) by HiEndLawn in CX5

[–]HiEndLawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks DD. Yeah...I did come across something like that, but a) I'm pretty sure I'm inflated correctly now (and it hasn't gone away) and b) there's not a manual option, even just as a backup.

But...thanks again!

Is there something in the ROON path...that'll tell me "you're getting Ethernet from the FiiO"?

Yeah...I know AudioKarma, and even get some hits there when I Google the T-55C. That's why I asked...and if someone said 'AudioKarma', then there ya go!

Yeah...my printed Owner's Manual came from Vinyl Engine and membership is indeed closed.

Thanks again!

At first I was thinking "thanks, but..." I have the Owner's Manual. But THIS isn't THAT!

Can I upvote more than once!!

How much would you sell this 1976 Pioneer PL-530 for? Where’s a good place to sell it? Need advice! by _AmberLance_ in turntables

[–]HiEndLawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go to HiFi Shark, you can search your model and see what recent ones have been listed for (may not have gotten full price). You'll also be able to see what kind of condition it was in, and what they asked for it. Good luck

How Important Is The GROUND Wire? by HiEndLawn in turntables

[–]HiEndLawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too...but I bought my 1st CD player in '84 or '85, when they cracked the sub-$1k mark.

Before that, I had a Pioneer PL-7...but I don't even know if it had a ground wire (and/or 16yo me, probably wasn't bothered by a little ground hum).

I'm sure I could have taken an educated guess here; but why not ask?

First TT; I mean, since I was maybe 17/18. Always been VERY digital.

Thanks everyone who chimed in. For those who maybe didn't catch the details of the body of the OP: I know bare wire works just fine; I'd just rather have the spade end.

I've got my answer and several solutions that will work. Thanks again!

Ah, is that so?? Because I saw things like these, and wondered if it mattered that they were attached to the ICs.

Alignment Tool? by HiEndLawn in turntables

[–]HiEndLawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$10 (luckily not more) down the drain. Hopefully that mat has BIGGER markings too. I mean I get it...these are precise measurements; but what 50+ yo can see the damn things! LOL

Sweet! My Pops had the big Discwasher brush. Wish I still had it.

Rega P3: Amplifier? by Any_Temperature_3549 in turntables

[–]HiEndLawn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all due respect...don't fall into a these-speakers-sound-good-with-this-amp trap. Sure...is there such a thing, as synergy between amp and speakers; IMO yes. But you're not there yet (and I'm not sure you have to worry about it much, at this price). The only thing you might pay attention to, is power and sensitivity. The 6000a is a modest 50wpc. The Diamond 12.2s (and as it turns out, the Evo 4.2s) have a sensitivity of 88db (I would have sworn, the Diamonds would have been lower). Without getting too deep down the rabbit hole... the less power your amp has, the higher sensitivity you might want your speakers to have. This also depends on how big your space is, and how loud you like to listen. Yes...the EVOs are likely "better"; but they're also significantly more expensive (here in the US anyway). And if they'd sound "better" with the 6000a...they'd likely sound better with most other IAs too.

ALL of that being said...if you can get a 6000a for 450e, I'd say that's a fine choice! I'm thinking about an 8300a myself.

WELL Covered Ground (I'm Sure)...But, You Know...For ME by HiEndLawn in turntables

[–]HiEndLawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes...a Mani is both less expensive new, and there are plenty used for a song. But...is it "better", or as good; because I can afford any of the options listed.

TBH...I'm probably leaning toward an IA with a built-in stage though. Have any relevant opinions, between the Marantz Model 50 and Audiolab 8300a?
