| Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines That speaker is very friendly to tubes, but you do need a bit of power. Our M-60s drive them quite well; so you have a wide range of tube amps to work with! | |
| New idler for Garrard 401 That is the oldest website ever! 1998 and last updated in 2002.Yeah- looks like it was written in Crayolawrite 1.0. But their product is excellent. I would consider auditioning one of their idlers as they are a whole heap less cash, and they liter... | |
| Brand new to vinyl: Help! I can help too- we produced the world's first balanced line phono preamp.The advantage is that the interconnect between the arm and cartridge does not contribute or rob anything from the sound of the system, unlike single-ended setups where the in... | |
| TT mats SOTA Supermat is acrylic. Just like the awesome Goldmund mat. Good stuff, both of them.This statement is false. I can't say what SOTA is using now, but the Supermat to which Raul refers is not acrylic: I owned and still owns several mats almost al... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) So the fact that the speaker impedance is at its lowest in the midbass (4.2ohms at 118hz) and that I am not getting the mid bass I feel I should be getting is not related?Yes. As I mentioned earlier, the speaker is an easy load for a tube amp, a... | |
| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp @noromance , The technique I offered works just as well and is a lot cheaper. Based on your post I suspect you didn’t read my post all the way through. | |
| New idler for Garrard 401 If you have an older idler, they can be refurbished by Russell Industries for about $40.00. They do an excellent job and can also refurbish capstan idlers for Ampex and other tape machines. They bought out the old Projector-Recorder Belt Company w... | |
| Best tube amp for Wilson Watt/Puppy George, you know this is a zombie thread, right? | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) I think its current as a large section of the impedance curve is closer to 4ohm than 8 ohm.Current is not the issue here. If the amp can make the power, the current is present. This is because power cannot exist without current. The power formula ... | |
| Please give me advice about an ARC VT 200 amp @dweller , you are correct. The exception might be if the amp is somehow unstable without a load but IMO such an amp would be borderline criminal to sell on the open market. FWIW a variac is not needed to restart this amp. If you are concerned abo... | |
| Cartridge MC matching with phono Cary audio PH303 It should work. Put it into the MC input. | |
| Phono stage If you have a low output cartridge, and without a load it is bright, the problem is that the phono section is unstable.It is a very confusing issue, but in reality the load is not there for the benefit of the cartridge, its there for the preamp.If... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) 8ft each. Belden cables from BJC. I forget if they are 10 or 12 awg. I got them 5 years ago.@gochurchgo Is there any way to shorten them up? 8 feet is getting kinda long. I would also pay attention to how tight the connections are at either end of... | |
| Looking for amp advice (punk, rock & reggae edition) The Stereophile review was done using a 100wpc tube amplifier so I have been looking at more power to fill in the holes.More power won't fill in the holes. This speaker is easy to drive and is friendly to tubes so I have trouble imagining that a c... | |
| Cartridge MC matching with phono Cary audio PH303 Thanks, but I am not full understanding what you recommended since I am newbie on this .What mean without loading?Don't use a 100 ohm resistor or the like. The input of the phono section is 47K so it should be just plug and play. |
