| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Ait,Oh, do not get me wrong, I am just curious following your experiment. Yes, I am aware that your unit is not stock anymore. The same reason why I asked if you know the rating of the rectifier filament supply.Yes, you are right, on the man... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century So, I tried the Mullard GZ33 tonight, and I like it a lot! I bought a pair, and both had good getter flashing, full lettering, and tested 100%+ on my tube tester (set to 5V4, 5U4 and 5AR4 settings). Compared to the GE 5AR4, the background is clean... | |
| Why buy cheap speakers?? I am on the "buy what you want, that works for you" camp. I am not bothered seeing cables that cost 10 times the speakers system set up. That's what the owner wants.However my take is a little different in terms of cables that cost a considerable ... | |
| Speaker design without passive x-over? Linkwitz Orion Plus.....read the documentation on the website. | |
| Would you pay to audition speakers Can you name the dealer?If not, what is the point of posting this ridiculous poll? I would want to know so I can avoid him and warn others about his policy when it takes into effect and then report the dealer to the manufacturers of the product he... | |

| What about Bozak I owned the Bozak Symphony. At present, I have the Bozak Rhapsody (very similar to the B301). I have to let go of the Symphony because of the size.Rudy Bozak made very nice drivers. IMO, its limitation is the enclosure. Also, a better crossover co... | |
| Help What's Wrong with my System My opinion:Your speakers cannot pressurize the new room, which is bigger, than the previous one. The answer? You probably need a bigger speakers with better bass response. | |
| Regular Cardas interconnects for VPI? Well, yeah, but I am talking about "proper" shielding not the amount of it. Remember, my argument is about "having the drain wire as the only difference between a phono IC and regular line level IC's".In phono, it is ideal that the outer shield of... | |
| Regular Cardas interconnects for VPI? Hmmm...what about shielding? Yes, in general it will work for both applications but is that all? The main difference between the two, for me, is that one will carry a low level signal and one a line level signal. Shield should be considered as any... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? Also do not forget the Denon arms! You can find these relatively inexpensive arms and if you put the 103 on it...you got it!I could not agree more! I have a friend who uses the Denon arm and a Thorens BTD12-S (I also have this arm)and the Dl103 so... | |

| Dynaco ST-70 totally restored vs Dynaco ST-70 Kit I too use Mullard El-34's/6CA7's. I have accumulated 3 pairs all NOS and should be enough. Took me a while to shop, test, and burn in to see if it holds bias current to arrived at my "set". I never had any luck with the metal base ones though (Noi... | |
