| Amplifier, less than 10 Watts, for PHY speakers I own both a Glow Model One and a Decware SE34.2+. The Glow drives Merrill Zigmahornets in the bedroom and the Decware hits Zu Druid MkIV/08s in the big rig. Either would drive the PHYs just fine, but the Decware has more of everything, hence the ... | |
| Why aren't there any used Jolida JD9 on the market I bought mine used and had to be patient until one came available, but it was worth the wait. Upgraded to OP627 opamps and have never desired anything more. Hang in there; you won't regret it.David | |
| Do you indulge when listening to your rig? Usually a Black Russian but sometimes a nice porter...David | |
| Rectifier tubes? Albert,I just did search on the 5C3PJ and came up empty. Do you have a link to where you bought them? Thanks!David | |
| Yamaha t520 am fm tuner flys under the radar Interesting post, since you're new to Audiogon and just happen to have said tuner for sale:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Yamaha-T-520-Tuner-w-original-Owners-Manual-/320993679184?pt=US_Radio_Tuners&hash=item4abcb6d750 | |
| Forgotten early New Wave... Since I was in Boston during that period, definitely:O PositiveTribeScruffy the CatClub scene in Beantown was amazing.David | |
| Phono Preamp on a budget? I've owned the Monolithic and heard the Cambridge and Phonomena in my rig, and consider all to be very close; I kept the Monolithic because it was slightly better in my particular system. I haven't heard the Seduction, but IMHO the other two are a... | |
| Moving across country with over 1000 LP's Mrmitch,I have about 2,500 LPs that I moved in June 2005 from Halsey, OR to West Point, NY in a 26 foot U-Haul with no temp control, then moved them again in June 2006 from West Point to Florence, OR in a commercial movers trailer with no climate ... | |
| No mention of Carroll Shelby passing? I admire anyone who was an innovator/pioneer in their field, whether their field was audio or any other, and Carroll Shelby certainly fits that definition. When able, I've driven sports cars since I was 23 (my first Fiat X1/9) including my current... | |
| Jolida JD9 Opamps I got mine as samples directly from TI, but here's one place to buy them at retail: http://parts.digikey.com/1/parts/464939-ic-opamp-gp-80mhz-sgl-hs-8-dip-opa637bp.htmlThere are many others; just Google "OPA637BP".David | |
| Jolida JD9 Opamps Slovell,I tried the 627s and found the 637s to be slightly more extended at both ends of the frequency spectrum, which was to my taste. Tonally they were very similar in my system.Johnnyb53,There are six opamps total in mine, although I've heard o... | |
| Jolida JD9 Opamps I own a JD-9, and after upgrading the opamps to 637s, it improved greatly. You can roll the tubes to regulate the warmth level.Given the opamps are easily swapped and make it better in just about every way, leaving it stock didn't seem to make muc... | |
| technics SP-25 armboard Way back in 2006 I bought blank SP-15/25 armboards from Russell Collins:drwhomba@msn.comIt's worth an email to see if he's still around and can source them.David | |
| preamp out instead of MC transformer I don't see gain/overloading as the biggest issue here. Head amps generally add 20-30 dB of voltage gain, and there are many line stages that add 20dB and a few more than that. The real issue is proper resistance loading of the cartridge. While yo... | |
| How many enjoy low $ second system sound? My bedroom system is Glow Amp One, Merrill Zigmahornets, old MacBook Pro, and whatever tuner I'm not using in my main rig. It's easily 90% of my max. I completely agree with Onhwy61 - it helps keep things in perspective.To Inna: my bathroom system... |
