| Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar? Warrenh,I own Druids, so I definitely understand the possibilities at 101dB sensitivity. If the Superchargers will give you the sonics you desire, you'll certainly be able to blow the house down running them into your Def 1.5s. Better warn your ne... | |
| Has any had experiecne with the MF 550k superchar? Newbee,Are you referring to the First Watt F4? I own an F4 clone, and while it's a fabulous amp and does pretty much what the MF 550K does using the speaker inputs (no voltage gain, just current gain) the F4 only makes about 25 watts, a far cry fr... | |
| What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R? I own both a stock Denon 103R and a Zyx Bloom (.48). They're both pretty good and I'm not sure I could call either one better overall. The 103R has great extension at both extremes, but the highs are a little more etched and the bass just slightly... | |
| 6SN7GTB Tung-Sol Tubes Haven't heard that particular 6SN7, but they're much cheaper here:http://thetubestore.com/tungsol6sn7.htmlDavid | |
| Jolida Reliability I own a Jolida Music Envoy preamp which I bought used, and it's been flawless for the year and a half I've owned it. I believe the previous owner had it for about 2 years and he didn't have any trouble either.I tend to roll tubes before they wear ... | |
| Rubbing sound fromTechnics SP 15 platter I own an SP-15, and the platter sits on a conical sleeve below the spindle, and the hole in the platter has a corresponding conical bore. It's fairly easy, with age and/or abuse, to get the platter cocked slightly, which will cause it to rub the c... | |
| which cartridge is good for Well Tempered ref TT I owned a Well Tempered Record Player with the Record Player arm, but I think the WT arms are all similar enough that my experience is germaine.If you look at the recommendations above, the common thread is that they are all medium to high complia... | |
| Best cover songs? Little Willie John's "I'm Shakin" by the Blasters. | |
| Ground Loop Issue 427 Since you can short the amp inputs and the hum goes away, have you tried a different preamp? If the hum goes away, you know it's some sort of incompatibility between the preamp and amp. You've already tried the preamp with other amps and it was fi... | |
| Need to replace my Totem Acoustic Arros I run my Zu Druids with about 25 watts (First Watt F4 clone) and dynamics is one of the things they do best. I would call them "organic" if not the last word in "refinement", but the new '08 drivers are certainly refined enough for me. They do a g... | |
| What gives with my Monarchy SM 70 pros? Larryrx7,I had the same problem with my SM-70 Pros, but hated the idea of hanging a cheap crappy cheater plug off the end of my nice power cables. It's a pretty easy mod to take the top off the amps and disconnect the ground wire internally, so th... | |
| Belt stretch I don't think you even need high quality equipment or perfect pitch to hear the effects under discussion. I owned a Well Tempered Record Player (belt drive), and now own a Technics SP-15 (direct drive) in the heavy Technics base. I definitely don'... | |
| what do you do now? Here's fun thread from last year, started by a guy who claimed to know something but had no evidence:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1175530039&read&keyw&zzdigital+fmAnalog FM isn't going anywhere in the near future. ... | |
| Well Tempered Turntable help needed I can send you 2 or 3 different manuals via PDF if you email me. As far as getting in contact with George, that can be tough sometimes. You might try these guys:http://www.turntablebasics.com/silicone.html They probably know the viscosities you ne... | |
| LP shipping 04rdking,Regardless of the heat, if they didn't put it in a proper LP shipping box then their packaging was insufficient to protect the goods. Any company that ships LPs on a regular basis would know that. I would definitely ask for a replacement.... |
