| DeHavilland More likely the sign of a small company, as is often the case in this industry.... | |
| DeHavilland Not according to their website, but why don't you ask them? | |
| Tube fuses on Jadis JA200 amps It is the tube starting to go bad, though you should keep the tube in there to make sure it's not a one-time thing (unless the tube is glowing cherry red, then it's a goner). One year is about all I got out of any 6550s or EL34s in my JA80s before... | |
| Krell Head Amp Was it the KPE? I don't recall it having external controls, though. | |
| Owners of Duntech Crown Prince still out there? I owned the original Princesses (which were fully-veneered but had the Crown Prince base) for many years. At one point I had to replace some of the drivers in one of the speakers and found Duntech's service to be outstanding, in terms of price, qu... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Congrats, Strapper, now we have to get you to join the NJAS and host a meeting! Gotta hear those speakers of yours as well. One thing, though, from the pictures of your system it looks like your listening room is on an upper floor of your place (I... | |
| Has anyone heard of this? Depending on what you're ultimately going to do, you may have some legal hurdles too with copyrights, etc. Think of the disclaimer read at the beginning of football games ("this copyrighted telecast is presented for the non-commercial use of our a... | |
| Warmest speaker? I would say that the earlier versions of the Vandersteens, particularly the ones made before the 5 and the Quattro were introduced, could fairly be characterized as warm, but not their newer models. The latest iteration of the 2ce-whatever speaker... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Although Lloyd Walker claims that one person sold one of his Porsches to buy a Walker TT. | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Actually, Gerrym5, I was kidding about that, I have no idea what Strapper drives. I had the chance to drive one of my colleagues' 2001 M5 on which he had removed the governor (he took it and raced it competitively) and souped up even more at a loc... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Probably because it costs more than the Brinkman, Walker and Basis combined! I think Strapper decided to limit his budget to what he could get when he sells his 2002 BMW M5! :^) Me, I don't think my 2001 New Beetle GLX can get me a Rega, let alone... | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? Just to add one more possibility to the list, George Merrill has come up with a new, no-holds barred turntable that I hope to audition soon (a friend of mine is the distributor, I believe), if only just to see what an old master has come up with. ... | |
| Warmest speaker? Vienna Acoustics designs are warm-sounding speakers, to my ears, even with Krell amplification. | |
| Basis Debut Mk v or Walker or Brinkman ? I have almost the same set-up as you (my Ovation was updated to a Debut vacuum, and I use a Graham 2.2). If I could afford it, as good as this combo is I would probably replace it with a Walker, as the Walker seems just a bit better in all respect... | |
| Beating the RVG Horse RVG didn't necessarily make his recordings to sound good on a high end system, so if you need to rationalize you could say that by using the tone controls you may well be getting the sound he originally intended. My view is that if tone controls c... |
