Will give that a go! The hum seems to be secondary right now to the sound I heard when I played a record, intense distortion that I’ve only had the pleasure of encountering once before when I had two phono stages active at once. Like blow your speakers distortion if it was louder
Ahh, so was wondering if that’s what’s going on. Let me give that a whirl
Everything? Basically, you're trying to find the arrangement that sounds best. Sound stage, depth, placement of various elements of the music--all of that can be affected by placement, toe-in, distance between the speakers, and also your distance from the speakers. Depending on which of those you have any control over, you'll just have to play around with it to zero it in. If placement, distance between the speakers, and your distance from the speakers are set, then toe-in is all you'll have to work with.
Yep, both the amp and speakers are getting to know each other.
Yeah only have the one (Indigo Sparke) and it was a really frustrating first listen, this is definitely making it a bit more enjoyable. But no more Sacred Bones pressings going forward!
Heheheh, shiiittt if you’re in the market! Had a lot of fun last night, I can definitely feel how stiff they are right out of the box but they continue to open up with each LP. Lots of fun moments last night where I heard things in the mix I never heard before that made me sit right up and go “what the heck was that”?.Dammit… @Ghost has me all FOMOing over here wanting to buy a pair now
You’ll love classical on the Lintons!Heheheh, shiiittt if you’re in the market!

Biggest takeaway from an evening with them was just how fun and pleasant they are. Albums I was terrified to play on my Klipsch because of how dodgy the pressing was were all of a sudden great fun to run through with snap, crackles, and all. Anytime I started worrying about the pressing my brain was whisked away by just how fun they made the music sound. I could never fixate on a particular defect for long! It was honestly just the reprieve I was looking for, felt like the past couple months have been defined by listening neurosis that was closing to forcing me out of the hobby altogether.
I’ve had to pull them out further cause that bass really took me by surprise! Just waking up, going to make some coffee and spin some Yo-Yo Ma before work

I didn’t spring for the Starker box because I already had Yo Yo Ma’s version. Good stuff though!
Sounds like you like the new setup.I CAN HEAR YO YO MA BREATHING VERY CLEARLY, I THOUGHT MY DOG WAS HAVING TROUBLE BREATHING BUT NOPE JUST THE LINTONS.
Sorry for the caps, those details did NOT come through my Klipsch at my listening level
Sit more in the middle
