| Connecting 2 sets of speakers to a tube amp You could always wire the speakers in series instead of parallel. | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b The Bottlehead 2A3 stereo kit is easily within your price range and is very upgradable. It is a stone classic that has been refined over several generations. The difference in power output between this and a 300B amp is around 4db, which IMHO is n... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge John, please point us to this reasearch; I would like to learn a bit more. Thanks in advance. | |
| Early pressings v remastered An unfortunate fact of life is that early stereo recordings, such as those from the 1960s, were miked so as to accentuate the stereo effect - that which people were paying so much extra money for. That lead to lots of ping-pong effects, vocalists ... | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. I think that you have a very nice rig and I hope that you are enjoying it. Since you don't mention power delivery at all, I will be an ass and assume that you have not attended to it. A Hubbell HI8300 outlet can be purchased for around $15.00 and ... | |
| Rega P5 w/Denon 103R what should I upgrade to? TS0711 I will respectfully demur. I have owned 8 or 9 Rega arms over the years, have added mass and the TWL counterweight as well as the Expressimo and various other geegaws and your idea of adding mass at the headshell and the counterweight will ... | |
| Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone SACD I'm rather fond of John Zorn playing the music of Morricone; the CD is called "The Big Gun Down". | |
| Rega P5 w/Denon 103R what should I upgrade to? Plenty of folks use the 103 with Rega arms, but IMHO it's not a good match. The cartridge likes to see a much higher effective mass than the Rega provides. That's why Zu, who use the Rega as their design center add mass to the cartridge. I prefer ... | |
| Lay away purchase Mark, that's not good. You're not WalMart. And if he defaults, do you really want to take the money from a fellow hobbyist? On the other hand you could give back the dosh and have to start all over again. My experience on this site and Audio Mart ... | |
| My Dynavector 10 X 5 Stylus fell off now what? More Audiogon folderol. Those who say that the only choices are Soundsmith, or a new cartridge are, as usual, wrong. There is another excellent retipper in the Pacific Northwest:http://www.phonocartridgeretipping.com/index.htmlGood luck with the h... | |
| Early pressings v remastered No, you are not. | |
| Cartridge For Audio Note TT1 and Michell Tecnoarm Congrats on your new phono stage. The Avid looks teriffic. Now if, and when, you upgrade your cartridge you can hear it in all its glory. | |
| Step Up Transformer housing case -- available? You can google the two main manufacturers of project boxes, Hammond and Bud. The boxes do not come pre-drilled, but you can actually buy a five sided box from Hammond and have a top plate custom made to your specs from front pannel express. You ca... | |
| How old is "Too old for" drivers Many still use old Western Electric drivers from the 1930s. I know several people using speakers from the 1950s and I own a few pairs from the 1970s. It seems to me that foam driver surrounds need to be replaced after some given amount of years, d... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps If everybody knew those brands the high end would not be the dieing old man's game that it is today. That said, D'agostino, Continuum, Allnic. Funny that you don't mention any tube gear since good soundstaging seems to be the calling card of tube ... |
