| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS My BAT amp came with Littelfuse's for the output protection circuit. After a tube failed and blew the fuse, I replaced the tube and installed a new fuse from Radio Shack. The channels did not sound the same. I tried 2 other fuse brands and was ... | |
| VPI Traveler - nickel on the headshell worked wonders! The only way I can think of for the VTF to vary from one position (inner/outer part of platter) versus another is friction binding in the tone arm bearings. Maybe 3rd replacement is the charm or look for a different brand. | |
| Concert Experience for $5k? Klipsch La Scala's should do the trick with all the power you have with the v12 amp. | |
| Will Changing my 100 Watt Tube Amp to a 200 Watt SS Amp Solve My Problem? The answer is no related to your specific complaint. The input sensitivity of your current amp is 1.9V required to drive at full power. The Krell KSA 250 requires even more voltage at 2.3V for full output. One of my amps is a VAC Pa100 which on... | |
| Sub box. Placed in cabinet I have a small sub, 8 inch driver sealed box alignment, forward firing, placed in a cabinet in my secondary system. I found it beneficial to provide a slot vent to the rear of the cabinet to even out the response. It is placed on the cabinet, no... | |
| Searching for LONG / NARROW players Maybe check out the Woo Audio CD transport. It is 9 inches wide. Wooaudio.com | |
| Footers under big heavy speakers (Stillpoints Ultra 5, Sistrum rack, Finite Elements,..?) How about a Townshend Audio Seismic Podium? You might be able to have custom built from the UK. Not cheap, but may be the best solution. | |
| What is the best way to add subs in my system? Speaker level is the way to go. I use a pair of Gallo TR1D subs approx. 600.00 ea in my winter system. I run my main speakers full range and tap the signal from the speakers to the subs and use the built in crossover. If you want to limit the powe... | |
| Chord Hugo ? I have had the Hugo for over a year now. The Hugo sound to my ear is neutral. There is no excess warmth, no brightness, detail presentation is unforced, and the ambience does not possess any hint of digital glare. The Hugo is dynamic and the sound... | |
| B&W 'New' 800 Series I love the looks as well. The implementation of the bass drivers clear of the cabinet plus the taper at the cabinet front edge is certainly different. The aluminum spine follows some other manufacturers like Sonus Faber but makes sense for structu... | |
| Speakers or Amp A step to separates might help. However, judging from your photos I question your application for the GIK panels. It appears you have a total of 6 panels, 2 on each wall and two on the ceiling that are tightly spaced together. I suggest a looser s... | |
| Oppo 105D as an external DAC? I wouldn't recommend it. A Chord Hugo or the new less expensive 2Cute version of the Hugo is a massive upgrade in sound quality over the Oppo. I own both. | |
| How important is bass to you? Nothing but mud below 25hz, explosions excluded. I like a system that at least reaches into the low 30hz range to sound realistic on a broad range of material. I prefer a punchy well timed bass with a good dose of slam over a fat thumpy bass most ... | |
| Thoughts on system change VTL to NuPrime ? Bad idea, especially if you are looking for more detail and realism. That's what tubes do best. Class D will generate less heat but that's about it. My W4s amp isn't bad, but I still prefer my tube amps most of the time.I would suggest an audition... | |
| Linn Karik's CD drawer cannot be closed My 1989 and 1992 model year Sony players are still working perfectly. The Karik not so much. In the automotive world, my 1970 BMW which I've owned for 44 years is still running although it has been modified and updated to suite my demands.BTW a 20... |
