    Setting up 2 Channel room

    in 2-Channel Home Audio

    Posted

    I am in the process of setting up a 2 channel listening room (11.5’x14.5’) hopefully to be known as the vinyl room. The equipment I have for this so far is:

     

    1 pair of Hersey’s

    Jolida SJ 502A integrated tube amp

    Yamaha DV-S5750 DVD player to play CD’s (I have listened to this and the amp and speakers and it sounds very nice)

    Technics SL 1200 Mark II with Ortofon 2M Red cartridge

     

    The main reason for this post is the amp does not have a phono preamp it has 4 RCA right/left inputs one marked  TUNER one TAPE one CD and one AUX. I would like to hear from those of you that have set up something similar and what you use to hook up your turntable.

     

    Thanks Tom

    Trouble Shooting Heresy

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted · Edited by Tom Bieri

    Last week I scored a pair of consecutive 1982 Heresy’s with very nice cabinets. I heard them briefly before the purchase and they sounded good. I finally hooked them up to tubes with great expectation and was happy until I turned the balance from center to left then right. The right speaker was flat while the left one was bright and sharp. I switched channels on the amp and the same speaker was flat. I took the backs off and everything looks good, there was a screw stuck on the magnet of  the midrange but could not see where it had come from and suspect that is was simply lost inside the cabinet on assembly. Any suggestions on a good place to start for troubleshooting?

    I would think that if you are not using the RF62 IIs with the sub, you should try it.  Some dialing would be necessary but I would think the RF62s with the sub should be up there with the other speakers you mention (outside of the RF-7s)

    I have had the 62 II's since 2013 I just added the Sub this month the 62 II's are very crisp and very clean the sub really helped them more than I expected. The receiver I am currently using is a Yamaha HTR-5860 it has a good sound but I hope the upgrade to the 3070 helps a bit I know it has many more capabilities that I plan to use. RF - 7's I would love but I just keep looking at the room and thinking it is just overkill the room is 19 x 14. I plan to get a RP - 450C center soon, and a little later possibly get a pair of RP - 280FA for the front and move the 62 II's to the rear, one step at a time.

    Have you tried an amp or reciever that was SS rather than an AV? That made the biggest difference to me.

    I have not with my current setup. I love my music but we also enjoy movies very much and until I win the lotto my listening room with tubes and Khorns will not be completed 😁. I did do some research on the AV's and this one is supposed to be very good with 2 channel and pretty fair with surround. It is not like the old days when you could go to nearly any audio shop and listen to a wide variety of amps receivers and speakers.I feel kinda lucky to have experienced this. I will never forget going into a shop called Audio Adyssey in Davenport Iowa as a teenager and hearing for the first time a set of Khorns the sound quality just blew me away.

    Thanks for the info! I am going to keep looking I have always been an experimenter and learned a long time ago to only change one thing at a time if you want to accomplish your goals. I just ordered a new Yamaha RX-A3070 Aventage Series I will see what changes this makes before spending more $$ from what I have read is capable of producing very nice 2 channel sound along with the rest.

    I currently have a pair of RF 62 II and a KSW - 12  sub I use them for watching movies but mostly listening to music. While the sound is very clear and crisp I would like to get a bigger sound than I am getting from the 62's I would love to upgrade to RF - 7's but the funds are not there at the time. I am considering looking for a set of older either KLF - 10 or KM - 6. I have not heard either of these first hand and any input would be appreciated.

     

    Thanks in advance
