| Replaced Mid-RangeBest way to Burn-IN ??? You say they sound good. Just play and enjoy them. The driver will break in all by its self and all will be well. The inductors will have some breakin but not as much as the driverIf you listen to Elizabethyou are to caught up in the sound of equi... | |
| Pre-amp Upgrade I believe the Shindo pres are a game changer. The auriges were for me. If you want super hyped detail then the Shindo is not for you. If you want a powerful emotional experience and know the sound of live music then you must here the Shindo | |
| Two things about tubes I have a Shindo Auriges preamp and ASL Hurricane power amps. System is dead quiet. Can't tell it is on until music starts playing. This is true even when I am using the phono stage of the Shindo. But a little tube rush that you can't hear from you... | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy I have found that a typical problem is that as you spend more money on a system you tend to listen to the system more than music. How is the bass, the dynamics, the resolution etc. instead of what is mozart trying to say in that piece. I don't thi... | |
| My B&W speakers Who says there not high end. They may be entry level pricewise but they are very good "High End" speakers. Go to this site for an excellent reviewhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0900/bwdm602.htm | |
| Sony SACD 5400 ES: how to get it in standby ? I never turn my 5400 off. With no cd loaded the laser is off and the motor is off. Only the electronics stay powered up which is better than turning it on and off. I had a 777es which was never turned off in 10 years | |
| The sound of glasswear It should work with no problem. I have used a passive with VTL amps and for a short time used the passive with my ASL Hurricanes. Sounded excellant. The output impedance of your Ayre should be low enough to work with any tube amp | |
| Any difference between tubes. Band equipment tubes are usually selected to have low microphonics. If you go to a electric guitar website you will see them talking about the same tubes and manufacturers we consider for home audio | |
| Ribbon Tweeters??? Not familiar with the ribbons you are talking about but the ribbons on my Maggies are the most beautiful tweeters I have ever heard. I think good ribbon tweeters are certainly as good and many times they are better than the best dome tweeters. | |
| Upgrading from Martin Logan SL3s Please do not use all capitals. Very hard to read | |
| MC loading at 47K Since you are stuck with 47k I would go with the Ortofon 2m black. I have the bronze and it is an excellant sounding cartridge | |
| Any benefit from" same brand" amp/pre-amp?? The Stratos will work with the quad preamp. Output/input sensitivity is fine. What speakers will you be using? | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem He said specifically he tapped on the preamp tubes and got a pinging sound. He also then says he gets that sound by tapping on the on-off switch of the pre-amp. Let's not lead this guy astray by not dealing with the actual problem he is describing | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem Another question. Does your preamp have the switch on the back for low and high gain? If on high switch to low gain and see if this helps solve your problem. |
