    Re: Static building on phono

    It's not the kind a static with minor crackling in the background from what I would perceive as a dirty record or a dirty needle. It's essentially distortion that grows and makes my speakers...

    Re: Static building on phono

    Very interesting, I'll definitely give that a try. Would a fine speaker wire be appropriate for that test?

    Re: Static building on phono

    Thank you for the replies! I tried grounding the turntable to the Sunfire preamplifier that has a grounding post, but I don't believe knob and tube has a ground wire, so the preamplifier is plugging...

    Static building on phono

    Just adding in that I have the turntable grounded directly to the ground spike outside my house, the preamplifier is not grounded because of the knob and tube electric, and all other audio sources...

    Static building on phono

    I recently picked up a brand-new Marantz turntable with the built-in preamplifier, the non-preamp version was backordered, I'm getting a consistent build up of static when I play a record that makes...

    Re: four speakers, one amp, two channel?

    You're incredibly detailed response lends credibility to my perception that I know very little about home audio and should probably not be screwing up my system! I think I would rather just stick...

    four speakers, one amp, two channel?

    Is there any reason why I cannot run four speakers off a single amplifier? Four identical speakers, two per side, with jumpers between the left side speakers and another set of jumpers between the...

    Re: M100 Amps thumping

    I only recall seeing one, but I'll take a look later when I get home. I did end up replacing the 500 mg fuse with a fast low and everything seems to be working. I missed seeing the other fuse holder,...

    Re: M100 Amps thumping

    I got a pair of Lumley 100 mono blocks, I'm trying to figure out what kind of fuses they're supposed to run. The owners manual says three amp, but I picked up mine and they only have 500 mA fuses....

    Re: Ray Lumley Tube Amplifier model m-100.

    I know you have an old post here, but I have copies of the original m100 owners manual if that's what you're looking for. I'm trying to figure out what kind of fuses these things came with for my...

    Re: Lumley M100 Fuse Blows

    Perhaps I'm not doing anything right? All I was told was that there were knobs on the front of the Lumley amps, I need to let them warm up slowly and adjust the knob so that both the left and right...

    Re: Lumley M100 Fuse Blows

    I have a pair of klipsch thx, I think I'll try them. Unfortunately, I don't believe the amp slow blow or fast blow, it simply says 500 milliamperes. So I really don't know what it calls for. I hope...

    Re: Lumley M100 Fuse Blows

    Also, what's an output tube? Each amp has two KT 88's which are the ones I just purchased, and too much smaller tubes and I have no idea what those are for. The small ones, two per amp, came with the...

    Re: Lumley M100 Fuse Blows

    The guy wanted $400 more with the tubes, and I assume the tubes have a useful life. When I did a little research, it seemed that KT 88's should not have cost $400 extra, so I thought it made sense to...
