Hi, may sounds like a technical question so I figured out I may get more replies here. My stello cdt100 (untouched) is slightly humming, can't tell since when or even from the first use but I heard that last time I shut down my computer. So yes very slightly but I would enjoy getting rid of it...

looks like one tube is guilty, the noise travels when I switch the drivers tubes. must buy a new pair. thx

Hi! my wa6se tends to buzz/sizzle slightly on the left channel sometimes. Stranger, a light knock on it solves the problem for a while... any advice?

Someone just told me that the deal is not available on the UK website

Hi there folks, I've seen a Logitech private sale on vente-privee.com for triplefi 10vi for 110€. I thought this could interest some people here. Only EU citizens from the following countries can apply: France, Italy, Spain, Germany and UK. Plus, you'll need a member sponsor to subscribe and...

And what about purchasing a new motherboard providing coax and optical outputs, there are many cheap ones in the market now. the m2 interface is overpriced to my mind in comparison to this option.

I would have gone coax but due to the organization of my student digs, I have to cover a 5metres distance until I get graduated. In fact, I got my stello stack since yesterday and can't imagine it even better. Thanks for advice!

neither of them, of course^^ I can enjoy my stello and find it the best thing ever made for music lovers and find it thousands times better than my essence, even much better than the improvement I get when I installed my essence and switched from the onboard chip. And I'm really able to hear...

Here's my question: I'm listening through a da100sig dac and used to do so with my essence stx. I've decided to go optical to the dac from my pc and since both my motherboard and my soundcard supply one, I don't see the aim of my soundcard except dolby decoding, which I never use. I prefer pure...

almost same connection and should be compatible with usb 2 and 1.1, as usb2 is

the advantage only lies in data bandwidth, but since eSata2 is out and has been the very first external ("e") interface to not bound any hard drive rate, wonder what usb 3 can do but compete with eSata and make things more complicated for the consumer. Didn't check the specs yet, maybe superior...

thanks for the info, a bit on the expensive side but I have more options now. feel free to name other ones

I noticed that pretty much all cables manufacturers build pretty much all sorts of cables except optical ones. I figured myself this was because of lack of margin since they are easy and in comparison cheap to build but I'm wondering where to get good ones, any recommendations? I'd like to...

since dvd-a are dead...

To my mind, some are quite unfair with the essence stx. Obvisouly coupling a 1400$ headphones with a 200$ soundcard is not a good idea at all, and that's the same with everything else in life, I mean you computer components, your dressing and so on. But the essence is not useless at all and I...

Please leave him alone, he has to finish my WA6SE ! about Jack's reply, he may had in mind one 6se that has been modded to be compatible, the only one built that way.

love this pick, thank you. Quote: Originally Posted by MomijiTMO From your OP I'm going to suggest the Shure SRH240.

this means there's not side by side, anyway I think I'll try 2xLT1358+LT1364

this last post is interesting, 2x2xLT10280ACN8 should then work on stx. and thank you Gurubhai

Hi, I just replaced the stock JRC I/V opamps by 2xLT1028ACN8 and the sound is now very very low. Can someone enlighten me about this?
