| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Great point and a more than viable answer. You still have to have an LP rig to digitize LPs however. That's a given.And to address the previous post about surface noise, the brain's sensory gating mechanisms do knock down perceived surface noise, ... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl So audiophile of everyone to focus on the aspects of sound quality instead of the core issue, which is access to music. There are tons of performances that have only been issued on LP and never remastered on any other format, just as there are man... | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can I should very much like a pair of Altec 19. But I would be thrilled with a pair of Valencia, Flamenco, 18 or 15. I would also not mind settling for JBL L-300, or 200B. That's my mission for 2012! | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Dan, mozel tov, problem solved!BTW Mike Pranka was anything but helpful to me; I would never buy a Dynavector product. | |
| Tube amp stopped working You might try moving the tubes from one channel to another. Just because a tube lights, does not mean that it's working. Usually, the cathode resistors do the duty of fuses, they are designed to fry instead of the output trannies or tubes. You can... | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Oh Dan, sorry I was thinking of someone else. I started Christmas morning with a bit of port. You know, if you drink wine in the morning you're a wino, but if you drink port you're simply being decadent.Warmest regards for a merry Christmas and a ... | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Did you get my last e-mail by the way, never heard back from you on trying those tubes? | |
| Lyra Titan: Stylus broken during shipping Maybe the stylus isn't in the box. Did you look on the cartridge, behind the paper on the magnet assembly? | |
| Who rebuilds Dynavector Tonearms? Jim Howard at Applied Fidelity in the US does excellent bearing adjustments:http://www.appliedfidelity.com/I have no financial interest in this company. | |
| Sending pre in for service, need volume controller The Creek OBH-10 has just a motorized passive volume control in a box, the OBH-12 is simiar but has three inputs as well. | |
| What kind of 12ax7's are these fellas ? When Philips bought Amperex they were sourcing their tubes from various other makers, EI, Mullard, Simens, etc. There should be a Philips code etched into the glass on your Amperex branded 12AX7s and this will tell you who the actual manufacturer ... | |
| Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''?? I have lots of experience on this site and my experience is, for the most part, it's true. Now this is just idle speculation, but my sense is that those that can afford luxury goods are working long hours to do so and hence have less time to spend... | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound Usually, just before I replace them with something new. | |
| Favorite Caps ST-70 Rebuild Well, the Qs are many years old, and even if they are NOS, who knows about storage conditions and life expectancy? I wouldn't be too quick to judge.I rigged up some Jensen CIOs and they sounded better than the K40-Y, but like the Duelands and V-ca... | |
| Favorite Caps ST-70 Rebuild .........but they won't fit in the VTA board, where space is at a premium. After screwing with several caps, I ended up with the K40-Y pios in the .22 coupling positions and Auricaps as the interstage caps. The coupling positions make lots of diff... |
