Repair / Help / Apple/TIDAL isues
« Last post by MacGeek on March 07, 2023, 09:42:06 AM »
Has anyone had relatively recent issues when using Apple (iPad in particular) products to play TIDAL?  In particular, an accumulation of so called "videos" that consume memory, can't be opened to see what they are and can only be deleted by deleting and reinstalling the app, or left swiping the entry to delete them one by one.

I have gone so far as taking the iPad to the Apple store and completely stripping and reinstalling the operating system, which solved nothing.  Since my iPad is an early version, I even bought a new one (Best Buy sale), which also solved nothing.

Tidal support was useless, telling me nothing that isn't already posted on their website.  They did note they are aware of the problem and working on a fix, but don't know when that will be.  When asked when they became aware of the issue, or what may have changed in their system, I got no direct answer.

Since TIDAl now has a Spotify type free option, I may start sending my money to Qbuz; 24/192 without MQA for $13/month

I actually just logged in to ask the same question.

Anybody?

I have a box of 30 or so tubes I'd love to grade.  12ax7's and 6L6

Thanx a bunch

Thank you for the suggestion.  I had not thought of them though I've bought from them in the past.  Good tip!

Hi RR…  Welcome to the group…

I would consider trying to replace the plate amp, as I am guessing that was what broke?
Parts Express has some nice replacement amps...  Need to determine your plate amp dimensions first?

HTH,

I have a set of AL III that I?ve owned brand new since 92. I would like to update the crossovers. Is there anybody here that has a list of the upgraded parts that would be needed?

List your system / Replacement for excellent sub
« Last post by RRinChicago on February 09, 2023, 04:48:28 PM »
Hi all:

I'm new here.  What got me here is the failure of my Velodyne sub.  Equipment:   Marantz SR7015, NAD 2600As in mono, Infinity RS IIs and Velodyne HGS 10.  My 11 x 13 room is set up for a 5.1 surround system which is only used for video.  The room is carpeted, with drapes and furnished with soft textured furniture.  Up to the point where the small room size starts imposing limits on volume, it's an excellent sounding room/system. The HGS 10 is a perfect partner for the Infinitys.  Now it's dead.  For around $300 it appears i can have it repaired at EBC in New Jersey.  I'm hesitating because this is the second HGS sub to fail in two months and the first one (an HGS 12 in a different system) was not repairable by a local technician.  It seems many HGSs are at the end of their life and I am wondering if I should jump ship and try to find an alternative for reasonable money, or cross my fingers and have it repaired.  I can't really afford to go much over $600 and am willing to look at used.  I'd love to know if anyone has made a happy switch to another brand/model.

Thanks! Might have been that. Connected to my NAD 3020 the worked. The speed was way off but I cleaned the pots and now its running smooth! Although i dont understand how the pitch control works. There is no "click" in the middle and I saw someone on Youtube where the light is suppose to make it easier to know where its "right" but my light lights up but the reflections dont change when I turn the pitch control.   What could be wrong?

The only thing I can think is perhaps after you cleaned the pots the decorative knobs are just spinning on the pots rather than gripping and adjusting them?
