Hey guys, what this thread stopped after a few series of exchange in Chinese?
Where is the Tidal dude with the donkey sweather? Come on, tell us more story about your "quest for neutrality".0 -
Suddently, all went quiet on the forum in anticipation of the ??? product launch. I think we just have to prepare for the collateral damage.
Over the weekend, I experimented a few more impedence setting to mate the Preos phono with the DV cartridge. At 47 ohms, the bass presentation can no longer hold together. By Sunday nite, I have temporaily settled for 67 ohms which to me sounds more balance. A slight headache that I am running into is the constant static noise that is coming through. I am sure it is not a result of grounding or loosed connections. PT thinks the power line is reversed phase - I need to check tonight.
Another shock was the lost in details and body when I slotted in a Flow IC for FMR. I had never heard a triangle to be so colorful under FMR, the Flow more or less reduce it to B&W. Still as smooth but it is a different world. Boy, it is so hard to trek downhill... and it hurts.

Your turntable probably is not grounded. Find a place to ground the turntable. Try different locations - this type of problem is really pain in the ass.0

I tried all grounding points for my TT (incl. the Preos gnd post) but still the noise persists. When I use it with the Zanden, there is no such problem and I owe it to the subsonic filter.

Alecy Hing, do you test the electric phase? It may casue the hum according my experience. Like the ORB kyoto is invert-phase.0

Strip the ground cable out from the power supply of the turntable.0
-
Checked all the power lines and sockets - all the phases are correct.
Lifted the ground wire off the TT - no avail.
I even gone the final step of removing all cables & cords with the exception of the pre and power amp; lifted the ground wire of the Pre so the only point of ground contact is via the power amp - the noise still persists.
May be the Trojan Horse of Tripoint can save my day!!!

Alecy,
Other than Flow and FMR, do you have any other interconnect which you can try connecting your TT with Preos? Are you using Tidal' s phono or you are using the Zanden? I had a hum sound some weeks ago whenever I use the TT to connect with the Tidal phono. Of course I tried everything I could imagine and asked both the electrical and LP engineers of AE to help. The hum sound went away after I used the SMR EE interconnect from the TT into the Preos...probably the contact of the FMr/Flow connectors is not coupling well with the Preos.
Try to see if it works.

That is abnormal. Could that be the hum originate from the Preos phono?0

Brief listening for 3 hours just confirmed that its the final piece of puzzle that facilitate free flow of music. I guess I started realising what other fellows mean getting closer to the music. The feeling is just like 打通经脉, 高潮一波友一搏！.0

should be 高潮一波又一波。

Shanghai dude, my desire is growing fiercely for a double FMR run on my Algame. But I am very happy with double EE now, no complaint at all. I'd probably get one pair to run in parallel with EE.0

VoyR,
It will be a disservice to Algame not to run it with FMR. How can you tolerate bottleneck...

Tidal dude, i couldn't resist the temptation and bite the bullet yesterday for double run.
