| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? Sean, You're always welcome to butt it - you usually shed lots of light in dark places. My point, if I have only one, is that trying to improve a system thru changing cables can be a frustrating and expensive pursuit, not to be undertaken lightly.... | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? Mejames & Bob, please help me with my understanding of electronics - exactly how would a change in cable produce an (apparent) increase in sound in the lower midrange and upper bass (without a corresponding reduction in the adjacent frequencie... | |
| Replacing Sovtek 6922 for NOS I bought a quad many years ago and they were too noisy in my pre-amp so I did not listen at length, but my impression was that they had somewhat less than a crystal clear tone. If I ever have an undemanding location I'll try them again. | |
| Why my system has detail but no body & warm vocal? FWIW, I wouldn't spend a nickle on any cable, interconnect, or other tweek until I had exhausted all of the possibilities regarding speaker positioning, including speaker highth, toe in, distance from wall, etc. I would also experiment with the li... | |
| Replacing Sovtek 6922 for NOS Garfish, NOS sovteks in my line stage of my ARC SP10II work quite nicely, clean and very quiet. But, I can't stand the latest Sovteks - they have no warmth whatsoever. I'm trying some new Tesla JJ's in one of my amps and they sound very good. Warm... | |
| Digital Room Correction: The Final Frontier? Rives, In the past your posts seemed to be helpful and responsive to inquiries. In this case it seems that its just advertising and meant as much for the consumption of other readers as for the original poster. It appears from the posters comments... | |
| very strange hum from int. amp .... Sounds like your intergrated is sensitive to line noise created by the lamp. Often lamps have dimmer switches which create line noise. If it does have a dimmer experiment with it to see it increases or decreases the hum when you use it. Probably c... | |
| ARC SP 10....how good is it really???? FWIW, I have SP10II and IMHO it's phono stage and mid-range bloom is worth the asking price. When I want to get better resolution or bottom end I just use a different line stage (an EAR 834L). I find that most modern full featured pre-amps to be s... | |
| Tubes ECC88/6DJ8? Need all the help I can get I suggest you wait until you are very familar with the sound of your new amp before you decide you need to improve on you sound. Then you will be able to ask for a specific sounding tube to change what you don't like or improve on certain parts of... | |
| Ei6DJ8 elite gold I agree re - sound rating but in a less demanding location they really add some richness to the bass. I'm still experimenting - so far they work fine in my amp (as above) and are very quiet in this application. | |
| Up on the roof You would have to rent a man lift or erect a scaffold, neither would be cheap - I'd stay with the pro's - just supervise them closely to be sure its done right. | |
| APS-13 antenna owners? Here's a thought - is APS still marketing the APS 13? I checked on Google and its not on their web site and another dealer noted that it was no longer available. | |
| VTA Adjustment VTA=Vertical Tracking Angle. The correct vertical angle is established by the angle of the cutting head on the original master disc. You want to match the angle of your stylus exactly to this angle. Now all you have to do is figure out what the an... | |
| Ei6DJ8 elite gold I recommended that combo to someone in the last few weeks. Glad it worked for you too. FWIW I had less success with them in the line stage of my ARC SP10, but thats almost to be expected (they got noisy quickly). They have a nice full bass and are... | |
| Who out there knows about Audio Research Pre's??? Well, I have a ARC SP10II AND a Mesa Baron! That said, the pre-amp you pick will be determined by what tone you expect to get. The Baron is neutral and can be more like SS except for the presence of tube air and spaciousness. I like my system to e... |
