| Green Mountain Audio's Calypso HD Speakers? Hi! I have had the privilege of owning Calypso's in my system for ten years now. I can tell you frankly that I have paired them up with many high end pieces and cables ( A.R.C. tube and transistor amps,P.S. audio perfect wave dac and transport and... | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? Okay, thanks guys. I got it all now! Thanks, Scott | |
| SED Winged C el34. Help The winged C's were a nice upgrade. Thanks for the recco-mendations. They have more headroom then the eh6ca7's and the high end is more clear. Same solid bass. I also up-graded the front end tubes to Mullard Black Sables from tube depot. Unlike th... | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? Okay guys,back to my question. Where can I get cryo'ed receptacles and is it important to not staple the wire under the house but rather to hang it? I read this on athread here way back when. Thanks, Scott. | |
| Wire the House A/C or get Power Conditioner? Thanks for all the comments. I think I will wire the house first. Do I use the wire from off the electicians truck, or buy special (expensive?) 10ga wire? Also where can I get the cryo'ed AC outlets? I have also read that you shouldn't staple the... | |
| Pleasantly Surprised Pubul57, Thank you for the NOS reccomendation. That's what I hoped lars would send. What is expensive in this hobby is kind of a joke eh? But I would say that Mullard el34's at tube depot for $4,000 an octet are to my eyes very expensive. Especial... | |
| Pleasantly Surprised Lars, would you please tell me where I can get ( and what) NOS el34's for my mono's that are appropriate and high quality without being very expensive? These are Manley Snappers BTW. I'm sure others would be interested too. Also I tried Telefunken... | |
| SED Winged C el34. Help I just bought two matched quads of winged C"s from antique electronic supply. $208 for the octet. Will give them two weeks and let you guys know. Thanks for all your input. Scott. | |
| SED Winged C el34. Help Lissner, The problem with jjel34's as I got it from Manley's tech is a recent batch problem. They used to ship them with Snappers no problem. Maybe yours are older good tubes. I can't say what they sound like other than BLAM!!!!! | |
| SED Winged C el34. Help Okay, thanks for all the info. I will go shopping with all your reccomendations in mind. Out of ten JJel34's I think I blew 5. Manley used to ship these tubes in the Snappers but had to switch to the EH 6ca7's for reliabillity. Newbee I don't know... | |
| Mapleshade records: Pick the best of I ordered the sampler with my last order of triplepoints as a way of checking out these discs. Should be here this week. Did someone just say " The theme from I love Lucy"? Man, it may smoke, but I don't know how much play time that would get here! | |
| NAD 270/NAD C350 Andreas, I had the Nad C370 integrated amp a while back and the best thing I did with it was to bypass the pre section with a volume control Dac. I would think twice before using any Nad int. amp as a pre. I think you would be better served to se... | |
| CEC modifications - do they work????? Tadman, Are you presently using any vibration isolation products with your CEC? What you are describing at the frequency extremes was present in my Theta Jade and much improved by going to a different vibration Iso system. Just a thought. Scott | |
| NOS EL 84's for my Stingray. Mullard, Tele, RCA? Roger, Thanks for the input. I will go check the AA site. Scott | |
| Anybody else bothered by $8call.00 Noonan, You must have been looking at the classifieds for Pass Labs amps. Well anyway I just was and there is a bunch of that $$foryou junk there. It should be in the dealer's section eh? |
