| Quality required to hear vinyl I could tell the difference on a Bose Wave Radio; it's not very hard. | |
| Bottlehead Seduction or Cary AE-3 phono preamp? Ray, sorry, I said "I will be using........" I have all of the other cartridges, as well as two 15Vmr bodies, my JICO stylus is not here yet. Those who have already received theirs, and reported on Vinyl Asylum, prefer them. Also note, I did not c... | |
| Speakers for bad rock recordings I would go another way, the Klipsch speakers really come alive with a tube integrated amp. Consider the ONIX or perhaps a Jolida 302. The Onkyo is a fine amp that is a bad match to your speakers. | |
| Best "Wish You Were Here" Cornan, Dick Parry's sax solo is just fantastic, totally agreed. You can see him really wail it live on the DVD set of "Pulse", as well. Worth owning, and I believe that the mix of the remastered DVD set is in some kind of surround sound as well. ... | |
| Rega Planar 3/Lin Basik LV-X - about the hum issue Well, if you like the sound of the F3 you will probably like the sound of the Gold even more, it should not be any worse in the hum department. And it should have a similar sound. Does that help?BTW, your arm is calibrated and you can get a pretty... | |
| Rega Planar 3/Lin Basik LV-X - about the hum issue The only way to see if the Gold will be a winner on your Rega 3 is to try it, which should be pretty easy. No one can tell you if you will like the sound. It's kind of like asking, "Will I prefer vanilla, or chocolate?" There is no easy answer. I ... | |
| Cary rocket 88 vs dynaco st70 Something is wrong in your world. I just sold my KG4s over the weekend, and use Klipsch Fortes as my primary speakers, which are even more sensitive, and have no noise, whatsoever, from a stock Stereo 70. | |
| Is bias setting necessary on matched tubes? Geoff, we all have different comfort levels as far as dealing with our gear goes, but if you own a tube amp that requires biasing, it is best to learn the simple task. As components, and tubes, age, and one's mains voltage varies, it is best to ch... | |
| Is bias setting necessary on matched tubes? Only if you have a fixed bias amp, if you have a cathode bias amp then the tubes will be self-biasing and no bias controls or check points will be present on the amp.If the amp has bias controls and there are individual controls for each tube, mat... | |
| I can dream, can't I? Vandersteen Model 7 My impression is that if the market keeps dropping, it might be a good time to start your profilgate spending on stocks again, I'm thinkin' around 9300 or so. | |
| Experience with Extreme Phono "Crimson" Phono Cabl I don't have experience with it, but I believe that this is one of the Jelco cables, sold on this website, and elsewhere. I think that it is just rebranded as the Extreme. | |
| Morch Moerch UP4 or DP6 I owned the silver wired UP-4 and was very unhappy with the arm. There was an unnatural liveness in the upper midrange coupled with curtailed bass. Turntable was VPI MK111 and cartridges were VanDenHul MM-1 and Grado Signature 10. Yuck, really yuc... | |
| Primaluna tube amps... Tentlabs, that must be the amp that Quadaffi is listening to Fox radio on in his new digs in upstate New York. | |
| Output tube radiation exposure - thoughts? Can't you use a chassis punch? | |
| stock denon 103 vs. zu for my vintage rig Mikey, that is precisely correct. |
