| Help! New mono cartridge for Dad's present-need the least amount of tweaking Keep the 103R! No need for a separate mono cartridge. | |
| Holo's new R2R KTE Spring-2 Dac Thank god it doesn't have an extra zero at the end of its price (like some other high-end DACs - names withheld!). | |
| Digital Flac files with a Tube Amplifier I still own and use my Audio Research SP6 preamp and D75 amp. Sounds great! No compelling urge to buy any of the newer, post-Bill Johnson gear! IMO, the new stuff is all about the bling (look at those prices!). | |
| Ohm Walsh 4s worth looking into ??? I still use and enjoy my original Ohm Sound Cylinders! Pretty amazing! | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread SUT's do vary in SQ! I have several, including a Denon and a Quicksilver, plus two custom-made. Had a Verion (Cotter) but stupidly sold it! The people that diss the 103 probably have never heard it (or any other LOMC) with a good transformer! | |
| Denon DL 103 modifications and re-body questions thread You should also consider getting a good step-up transformer (SUT). MC cartridges like the 103 (I have several of its variants) are low-voltage/high current devices. The best way to convert this low voltage to enough for a MM phonostage is with a S... | |
| Silver cables Check out DH Labs Silver Sonic! I have one of their ICs! About $60/meter. | |
| What are you going to buy / download this season? Another auction win: Mott The Hoople S/T 1973 RI. $4.40 + $3.17 shipping. Great rock LP with the famous Escher cover! | |
| What are you going to buy / download this season? Just won at auction: Ruby Braff's Braff! Epic mono LP. $2.99 + $3.99 shipping. Great 1956 jazz recording! | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II Apparently there were two versions of the SST Ampzilla. V1 and V2. The latter used the same input stage as the Son mono amps. | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II GAS offered a transformer for bridging the original Ampzilla and the Son. 600wpc and 240wpc, respectively. Into 8 ohms, of course! | |
| SST Ampzilla 2000 v2 vs Son of Ampzilla II @counterreset : No, Ampzilla 2000 and the Son Mono's are different circuits - like the originals! | |
| My first Tube Amplifier @bdp24 : Ralph Karsten's OTL amps are based upon the Wiggins Circlotron and are inherently well-balanced. But they do have an output impedance of several ohms! Not good because of interaction with a typical speaker's varying impedance! Best used (... | |
| My first Tube Amplifier @bdp24 : The inherent problem with Julius's circuit has been getting the two halves of the output stage to act in balance due to differing gain (one half acting as a cathode follower). And the circuit requires high feedback to have acceptable dist... | |
| OTL Tube Amps and Full Range Electrostatic Speakers Music Reference RM200 mkII. Power increases into lower impedances! |
