| Can I Use One Channel Of A Stereo Power Amp? Although not cheap, the MBL 9007 can be used both ways. Generally they are sold as 440 wpc mono amps but they can also be used as a stereo amp. When in stereo mode the power is greatly reduced to somewhere around 130 wpc. | |
| anyone have experience with tube cdps' The Lector 7T is one fine CD player especially when you roll some Telefunken 12at7s in. I bought one as a backup but it sounds so good that I use it most of the time. | |
| Suitable tube preamp for pass labs x250 When I had my Pass 250.5 I used it with a Thor TA-1000, absolutely superb match. | |
| Best valves for BAT VK3i pre-amp Replace the Russian 6922s with vintage Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s. | |
| What do you see as the downside of tubes? Nice thread and some very good points both pro and con. I like the sound of tube amp and the ease of a good sounding SS amp, I use both, but all of my SS amps lean toward the sound of tube amp. Since I also own the Mastersound 300B SE I am going t... | |
| Mastersound 300B and bass I have a MasterSound 300B SE amp and I am using it to drive a pair of Kharma 3.1 speakers, the sound is outstanding. This is the higher power version (approx 17 wpc) which uses the either the 32B or 300BXLS output tubes. I am currently using Emiss... | |
| 2 turntables and one phono stage - Can I??? Thanks for all of the replies. Doesn't appear to be a safe and secure way to deal with this. I guess those who have multiple armed tables have to deal with this issue as well.Seems like the best way to deal with this is to keep the two set of RCAs... | |
| Audiomeca Mephisto IIx or BAT VK-D5SE I have owned my Audiomeca Mephisto II.X for almost 4 years now, my unit was on only 4 months old when I got it. So far I have never had any problems with it. Sound is superb, most analogue sounding player I have ever heard and I have heard things ... | |
| Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend I own the VAIC 300B SE which is made by Mastersound and is the same as the Mastersound 300B SE. Very nice sounding integrated amp which also has a "Direct" input which allows you to use a preamp. This is the way I run it. The big advantage to this... | |
| Audio Aero Prima - not responding The Audio Aero Prima has been discontinued. I would try Globe Audio or the best local tech you can find. | |
| Amp for Verity Parsifal encore I am running Joule Electra Heaven's Gate mono amps with my Parsifals, outstanding combination. I also use MBL 8011 mono amps which also work extremely well with the Parsifals, its a real toss up as to which is better. | |
| And the winner is--- 116, no wait it is the 121 PedrilloI have another option for you. Since you like the 116s, and the 101s really needs a larger space why not consider the 111s. They work well in smaller rooms yet sound very close to the 101s, and there are currently a few of these on the Gon... | |
| Why the difference? I have owned these players for years, very good value for a really good sounding CD player. I am surprised more people have not discovered them. They were Stereophile Class B Recommended component years ago but although they did sound good some un... | |
| 12AT7 tube Hello I have a Lector CDP 7TL Mk1 CD player. I did extensive tube rolling when I first got the unit and ended up with Telefunken 12AT7s, they just sounded the best. With the Telefunkens the Lector comes pretty close to my Audiomeca Mephisto II.X a... | |
| Unity Audio Signature One These are really nice speakers, I still own my pair which I purchased new around 1992. Go to the Cerious Audio website, I found the original sales brochures there, here is the link.http://www.cerioustechnologies.com/Unity/Brochures.html or just fo... |
