| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G The Technics is hands down the winner. Its more speed stable and overall more dead, IOW more resistant to vibration.Its arm is the weak link, but its better than the Rega am. which is even more of a weak link on the Rega IMO/IME. The Technics arm ... | |

| Pure Audio Project Loudspeaker with Voxativ driver option I heard the Pure Audio at the recent RMAF, on recommendation from a customer. A very interesting speaker- and sure it can do head banging; I heard a Porcupine Tree cut during the demo.I spoke to the designer- the speaker is flexible in its configu... | |

| analyzing the technology of power "conditioners" I've worked on a few. Most power conditioners are very simple, and the term 'power conditioner' is often an overstatement when applied in high end audio.The best power conditioners can filter nearly everything out of the incoming AC power leaving ... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Most tube amps are the equivalent of a graphic equalizer - hence a no no for me.If the amp employs about 20 db of loop feedback, it is capable of acting as a true voltage source, whether it can double power into half the impedance or not. IOW, it ... | |
| Quadraphonic records (LPs to you and me) So the quadraphonic lps need a special cartridge ... and phonostage then. So presumably playing with a normal cartridge and phonostage some channels are missing, hence maybe a weaker sound for a number of reasons, presumably, from what you are ... | |
| Using tube amp with electrostatic speakers. Normally you would use a higher tap. This is assuming the amplifier uses loop negative feedback, which most do.The feedback will help the amp to boost its output into the lower impedance. Since there is almost nothing for power requirements, it sh... | |

| Amp recommendation and setup advice please your comment about eliminating or minimizing the effect of interconnect, could you please elaborate? I own an ARC Ref6 and ARC Ref150se and I keep getting advice from certain dealers that I should upgrade my IC between the two. I will say this;... | |
| Which watts are the right watts in SS amps? Almost invariably I’ve noticed in friends outfits, that some were noticeably IMO underpowered as the sound in the mids and bottom end was well, I’ll go with ‘soft’’ or fuzzy. Not to the point of most people’s notice, but to my own appraisal. A... | |
| power conditioner Of late where ever I might happen to post on this forum invariably someone throws out the notion of balanced power (and proposes a $2500+ device that purported delivers it) as though its a cure all for things audio plus the common cold.Its a fa... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi On the subject of effective mass, my Triplanar has effective mass in the same range as the SME V, about 11g, I think. My Urushi sounded very good in the TP, but I have always wondered whether it will sound better in a heavier tonearm. @lewm te... | |
| Cary SLI-80 with one blown rectifier tube, BUT STILL WORKS just fine. How? We've been using HEXFREDs for the last 25 years and they are in everything we make. If they are really added into this amp as described, the tube rectifiers are really only there for show, since the voltage drops across the HEXFREDs is a fraction ... |
