Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open.
Hi Roger,I own your RM-10mkii, which is a mysteriously addictive amp. How did you approach low-frequency response? I ask because the bass the amp produces is punchier than any 100-watt solid state I've owned.I have zero knowledge of electronics, s... 
Klyne + Aleph 5
Thanks for the help and the insight. The Aleph arrived sooner than expected. Even though it is not running balanced, I'm getting a taste of the sound. I'll have to hear more and get an assessment of what I like. I will avoid the Canare's because I... 
Yamamoto A-08s and preamp CA-04
Did you order direct or through another site? Just curious because it's on my list of future gear. Cool combo! I hope you like it.  
Audiocraft AC 3000 Tonearm - Need Advice
Does anyone know the effective mass of the AC-3000, particularly the straight arm version? I cannot find it anywhere on the manual. 
MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT)
Is the Art9 just a fancier Oc9iii? It uses the magnets, yoke and coils from the OC9iii I believe. If so, then what is original about the Art9? 
6sn7 or 6sl7
Thanks both of you for the responses. I will look into the Tung-Sols. The Mullard seems to be harder to come by unless I buy a new reissue but those have mixed reviews. I think this will be an interesting tube match. I might even get two different... 
Exposure vs Exposure
I had the Exposure 2010s, as well as the XIV(or was it XVI?) preamp with MM and the XVIII monoblocks. They are both very different from each other with different design philosophies (as far as I can tell). The 2010s is very fast and detailed with ... 
Japan - Recommendations
Thanks everyone. I'm here now and will checkout both places. I think I'm going to stick with cartridges and records. Dynamic Audio 5555 has been suggested. 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
So, I did some more research on various forums and got some good information. First, the Nott wave mechanic or VPI SDS will not work because they are for 7 watts and the 124 needs 15. Second, some people have indicated the stepping down the voltag... 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
"Every speed control I have ever seen, is an external box that you plug the motor into" The Phoenix is different because it uses a small magnet that you put underneath the platter and then a small pcb card between the platter and the plinth so it ... 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
Checked out the Phoenix. It won't work because there is not enough clearance from the platter. Need something like the Wave Mechanic. 
Outboard speed control for Thorens TD-124
I don't think the Music Hall will work with 124 because it needs more torque than the 160. The Music Hall and the Pro-Ject are the same thing. Phoenix Engineering...mmmmmm,I'll hit them up. 
SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy?
Ivan, I agree. I actually researched a little to find any power amps that had the 120v but I had little success. 
SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy?
Wolf Garcia, it's funny you mention the first watt, because the amp I am using is First Watt J2Princka, I use JBL 4425 which I did not get at first and then it hit me with proper placement and listening position. This speaker is what made me inves... 
SPL - Pro Audio Blasphemy?
Sethlover you are on my wavelength!!! (or I'm on yours) I recently started using "affordable" Canare cables and they are awesome and reliable. I see you are using the Tascam in the same way I have been thinking about the SPL, which is inspiring. I...
