| Basis TT /Walker Motor Controller?SDS- 220 volts? ALbert - Thank you for you reply. I think I mised Lloyd after all, but pretty surebased on your comments that the WPMD is not easily switcheable from 110 to 220. Interestingly, I sent an email to VPI and their SDS apparently will accept any voltag... | |
| Review: Linn Akiva Cartridge SC53 - Tough call if your Arkiv is in good shape. Like I said, I probably would not have gotten the Akiva if my Arkiv B had not been in need of a retip. Still...audition it if you can. The Arkiv B sounds great..until you do a side by side...... | |
| Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage I own a pair. They still blow me away. To my ears, good tube amps are best...though the SF Musica amp is solid state and the designer supposedly used solid state amps to voice them. I use two subs with mine now, but had them sasn sub for about a y... | |
| Monoblocks for Sonus Faber Guarneri ? I've used three different monoblocks on my Guarneri's. The first was a pair of Bryston 7B ST's, which were a bit dry with the Guarneir's and definitely overkill in the power dept. I then switched to Aronov 9100 monoblocks with KT99 output tubes (a... | |
| 30th Ann. Dark Side of the Moon on Vinyl I bought 2 copies in the UK 2 wks ago, but have not been able to listen to them properly (developed some hearing loss fomr flying with a head cold, and its just now beginning to clear up). I have all other versions other than the UHQR, so will be ... | |
| Tube Myths- Tested Tubes Flethc - Interesting post and pretty relelvant to a nagging question on my mind. One of my CJ amps appeared to have blown several EL34's due to a volatage surge last month. The bias lights turned red on 5 out of the 8 tubes, and the amp shut down.... | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Thank, Viriridan. The questionnow is..which one? There are several for sale on Audiogon ranging from the 103R to the 103S to the 103QC1...plus of ocurse the ones available direclty from Denon USA....Any specific recommendation outof all of these? ... | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? I've done some more diggin thru the Forum posts, and had a question for you guys on compliance. The Arkiv's compliance is 12 cu, whihch is moe than twice that of the basic Denon 103, and higher than the Shelter's. Now, if the Arkiv is designed to ... | |
| Back-Up Low Output MC For My Arkiv B? Txs guys. I´ve read thru prior posts on the Forum, and it seems like there are different versions of the 103 (D, R, Q, etc). I have done some searches on the web, but the places I´ve found that sell Denon cartridges seem to have only one available... | |
| LP 12 Owners-If you were going to buy a new TT ... Well..I'm not about to dump my LP12 yet...I figure I still need to get some value out of the last upgrade (the carbon fiber subchassis and armboard mod, which DID improve the basss). Like Jackob sez, I guess my problem is one of not REALLY knowing... | |
| Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One?? Many thanks for all your replies. I'm not sure I'd call my Arkiv B a megabuck cartridge considering the prices of Keotsu's and Clearaudios, but it does clear the $ 2K bar by just a hair. I have used the Sure SFG2 for years also, but I want to set ... | |
| Review: Tact Audio Tact-2.2 Preamplifier I will try to take some measurements this weekend. The battery on my Rat Shack is dead. I also have the German AC Fish thingy sold by the CARA folks (ordered directly from the Fatherland!) whihc I'm sure its more accurate than the Rat Shack but ha... | |
| Review: Tact Audio Tact-2.2 Preamplifier OK, let me try to shed some more light.- The room is 5.72 meters by 4 meters, with 2.72 meter high ceilings. The listening seat is dead center along the long wall, and about 18 inches away from the back wall.- Backwall is treated with RPG diffusor... | |
| Review: Tact Audio Tact-2.2 Preamplifier Thank you for the kind feedback. I also wished I wold have been able to audition the PARC before taking the plunge with the TACT. As for my problems below 100Hz, these are very much room induced problems. The Guarneri's in my old room were capable... | |
| How To Best Deal With Voltage Surges? All-thanks very much for your input. In the end, I decided to go for an EaxctPower unit. Picked up the original, 2000 watt model on Audiogon this morning. After talking to CJ, this should be enough to hanlde basically my entire system. I hope this... |
