Hey all I'm pondering whether I'll improve on my current system by adding a pair of supertweeters. I can't see them doing a great deal of harm, but despite having read up on their 'benefits' I'm not sure how well they'll integrate with MLs. And for the same reason, I don't really want to go...

I'll second that James - particularly the bit about Jim. Not only was I able to get hold of him directly, but in addition to telling me the probable causes, he e-mailed instructions on how to change the chips. I guess it's something they come across fairly regularly, but let's face it, a...

Thanks folks. Tosh - you were half right on both points. I mailed Jim Power, who got back very quickly and said that he thought the op amp (the chip you mentioned leaning on) might have given up. I swapped it with the one in the other speaker and yup - it's the chip that's gone. I'll pick...

I screwed that up, didn't I . . . ? Thanks Steve. Sorry - I've got Ascents, not Aerius'. D'oh. I've just pulled the PCB out and it all looks fine, but I think you're probably right about the power supply. Here's the front: . . . and the rear: Can't see anything outta place. Guess...

Hey gang I switched on my system today and found that one of my Aerius' isn't working. No front light, no sound, nada. Swapped the power cord/outlet to make sure it wasn't a cabling/supply SNAFU, but they're all fine. I've opened up the back of the box and had a look round (carefully not...

Awwww crap. Wouldn't you just know it - a MF Tri Vista integrated amp has just turned up on fleabay. How's that for over complicating an already awkward decision? Any thoughts on Nu Vista vs Tri Vista? I'm at a loss, 'cos I've never been able to compare the two . . .

Sorry to barge in fellas, but can I hijack? Normally I'd start another thread, but I've got a quick decision to make, and it involves MF stuff, so it's kinda related . . . . . . I've got a predominantly MF system running through a pair of Ascents and have just had my Nu Vista Pre upgraded by...

Ahhh, dunno 'bout that. I wouldn't wanna compare the two, 'cos the folks who frequent these places want/need different things from them. :music: Personally, I'm a bit wary of ultra-tech forums 'cos they have a nasty habit of attracting more than their fair share of narrow-minded militant-types...

There are two or three pretty good UK-based forums, frequented by all sorts of tecchies. Given that you're after information on a phono stage, probably the best place to start would be Vinyl Engine. As the name suggests, they're into analogue . . . and there are at least one or two regulars who...

You can always turn the LCD off... ;)

Done to death elsewhere, I know, but always worth a look... ...Ikea acoustic traps

If it's lounge-core you're lookin' for . . . . . . you'll need some cheese :devil: Richard Cheese :rocker: Spice up the party with new renditions of your '80's/'90's faves including Only Happy When It Rains and Hungry Like The Wolf. His cover of She Hates Me would probably fit right in if...

That's great news. Glad to be of assistance. I'm really pleased to hear that everything worked out for you (or at least, everyone knows where they stand). At the same time, it sounds like your investigations have taken some of the wind out of the buyer's sails, which has got to be a relief...

So what did the Parcelforce site tell you?

Hey, no worries. My apologies - I'd forgotten just how bad the Royal Mail's systems are, not to mention the lack of meaningful instructions and help on their website. After searching about a bit, it dawned on me that an offshoot of the Royal Mail, Parcelfarce - sorry, Parcelforce - handles all...

Sorry - IGNORE THE ABOVE POST - I got cut off whilst editing it, so I'll try again... (Tom - can you delete the one above? Thanks) Apologies if I'm speaking out of turn here, but my guess is that it's not USPS who is/are at fault - it's probably the Royal Mail this end. And the thirty day...

Apologies if I'm speaking out of turn here, but my guess is that it's not USPS who is/are at fault - it's probably the Royal Mail this end. And the thirty day trace/waiting period? That's the Royal Mail, too. What generally happens is this - you post in the US, and USPS take control up to the...

And as if any further justification were needed for keeping the vinyl fires burning... 300+ classical albums (90% of which are NM or unplayed) for £1. Thanks eBay. Now all I gotta work out is how to sort them...

I was gonna dive in with a very similar response (it's one of the options on the iPod menu), but unless I'm mistaken, I don't think it's what you're after. The sound checker is a very rudimentary tool which atttempts to limit the maximum recorded volume of the louder tracks. Unfortunately, it...

Thanks gang - some very helpful pointers...particularly those in relation to the pre-amp. I know the MF Nu-Vista is a tube pre- of sorts, but my guess (without having pulled one apart) is that it's more of a hybrid, and what I need to be looking at is something that is almost entirely...
