| How loud do you like to play your music? General listening is between 75 and 82 DB, measured at 13 feet from the speakers. Some music gets played loud, like horn jazz trio that would be experienced loud in a club. Those get 95 DB+ but not for long as I don't want hearing damage.I measure... | |
| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis Let me know how they sound, I won't be buying them at $325.00 each regardless of warranty. I pay high for 10,000 hour tubes but KT88 and 6550 are not in that category, at least not in VTL 750s or CATs.Maybe if a quad would serve my whole system th... | |
| Live equipment chassis That does it, I'm getting a squirrel to keep in my pocket as an equipment tester. He can jump on the stereo and If he falls dead on the floor, I'm leaving without listening. | |
| Difference between KT88 EAT and NOS in Jadis Rodman99999, Do you have any personal long term experience with EAT tubes that you can share? I was very interested in EAT KT88 a few CES shows ago, in spite of their cost. What stopped me was a heated discussion between EAT and a very high end Am... | |
| Dizzy Gillespie, "Portrait of Jenny" Here's the CD version at Amazon. If you click sample tracks, it's obviously not from the LP although I agree the YouTube clip was.http://www.amazon.com/Giants-Portrait-Jenny-Dizzy-Gillespie/dp/B0000008XWHere it is on LP, probably many other source... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III 09-02-09: HihoT_bone, I do have an SP10mk2 that spins way too fast, something like 200 or 300 rpm. Is that something I can repair by replacing all the electrolytic caps? Or is that something related to the obsolete chips?Hiho, with my MK2 it was c... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III You're being way too sensible T_bone, next you're going to tell me you should clean your stylus every so often too. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Like I posted I don't want to " build a son " ( this is how we say it in México. ) with that subject but I must add that " two birds/butterfly don't announce/makes Spring time ".Do you also drive without seat belts because you've not had an accide... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III (2) Electrolytic caps will eventually self-destruct. Just when that will happen is impossible to predict, but 20-30 years of service is pushing the envelope. Moreover, modern electrolytics are way better than those available back in the 70s, so sw... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lewm and guysDo you think I should re-cap my SP-10 mkII that is "virtually brand new"?It may be new to you but it's probably 20 years old and those caps are aged and due to fail. Your sound will be better with modern Panasonic FC caps or black ga... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Play a record of acoustic bass by, say, Charlie Haden's "Closeness" with Alice Coltrane and you will hear the delicacy of his plucking and tunefulness and its deep richness.Couldn't agree more with your assessment of bass performance with SP10MK2 ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Lonestarsouth,The Technics MK2 is an incredible machine. I didn't believe it until I owned one. | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III the SP10 has so much damn torque that you would think you really need something massive to hold down the turntable to sink all that vibration. Didn't Mark Kelly tell us that Sansui experimented something like this about that return torque that's c... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III As I posted I hear/heard several Sp-10s configurations in several different audio systems, including at least two-three SP-10s of the people that posted in this thread.IMHO no one of those SP-10s can even the quality performance of a " naked " Sp-... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hiho,Lots of ways to do a plinth. I visited Mike about the time Steve delivered the plinth you linked to. Mike himself will tell you that these rebuilt tables will "play with the big boys" and his reference is the Rockport Sirius.I like Steve's de... |
