| Can Burr-Brown OPA627 DIFET Op amps... Here's a couple places they can be purchased:http://www.referenceaudiomods.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?store_code=RAM&screen=PROD&product_code=AC_OPA627http://www.futurlec.com/ICLinearOpAmps1.shtmlYou might need these too:http://www.cimarro... | |
| THORENS TD 150 MK II WITH TANDBERG BADGE ? My Thorens 150 could be wired for either 110 or 220. Here's the manual:http://www.theanalogdept.com/images/spp6_pics/TT%20manuals/Thorens/TD150MKII_manual/Thorens%20TD150mkII.pdfYou would just have to supply a US plug. I never rewired mine, but it... | |
| Anti-cables vs CC89259 Stvncar,Before I bought my AntiCables I searched the Internet looking for 12ga magnet wire and came up empty. Do you have a source for this wire? If so, please share it with us.David | |
| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? Autre,For all the reasons you list above, and based on my ownership and listening experience, I think you've made a fine choice, and you got an even better deal than I did! ;-)As I continue to upgrade the rest of my system, I appreciate the qualit... | |
| Unequal length interconnects? Today I ordered Analog Twos from Frank at Signal Cable. He was very helpful in helping me determine the right cable and his opinion is that using two different cables lengths won't be a problem, especially with the lower capacitance of the Analog ... | |
| She's on to me I must be really lucky - I just bought 4 (four!) $6 Volex power cords and my wife applauded me for not buying $200 cords. I always show her how much I COULD be spending on gear, so my modest system seems like a bargain...:-) | |
| Tube takeover Jebe1,That's great news! Very interesting video. Mike Matthews seems to be making far more headway with President Putin than is President Bush. :-)Did you catch at the end where he mentioned "Tung-sol" and "6SN7" almost in the same breath? Can't w... | |
| How do the Electro Harmonix 6sn7's sound? I have a Wright WLA12A, and find the EH 6SN7s very listenable and a bargain at $8.95/ea. They're far superior to the Sovteks I own, both the 6SN7s and the supposed "milspec" 6H8Cs. If all NOS tubes went away and I could only get new production tub... | |
| Need small speaker for less than $750. Ideas? I also own the VR-1s and love them in my 20x16 room, but (no surprise here) amplification matters. I started with a modded Hafler DH-200, went to a Monarchy SM-70 Pro, and just added a second Monarchy so I could run them as monoblocks. The VR-1s r... | |
| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? Autre,You might call AV123 and see if they have any B stock XCD-88/99s. That's how I got my 88 - it was never listed on their Web site. Their B stock stuff comes with full warranty. Good luck. | |
| Recommendations for this combo: Epos,Denon,SVS I agree with Rar1. I was running the ELS-3s with an old NAD 7140 and the amp section was definitely not up to the task. When I added a modded Hafler DH-200 the Epos' really opened up. I don't have any experience with modern receivers, so I can't r... | |
| Furthest reception from your tuner and how? Bio,I'm also a former Eugenean, now in Florence. I lived in Ferry Street Bridge and Whiteaker and never got any Portland stations, but when I moved into the South Hills facing north I could get a few, not listenable though. I knew a guy who lived ... | |
| Music Hall CD25, Onix XCD-88, Rega Planet; Others? Autre, like you I owned the GCD-575. Last year, after many moves, the transport finally gave out. I listened to the Rega and loved it, but it was also in a much higher end system than I owned, and even the used ones were more than I wanted to spen... | |
| Record Clamp????? In a world with perfectly flat records and platters with no resonance, clamps and mats probably wouldn't be necessary and, as Dougdeacon points out, might even be counterproductive. On both my Music Hall MMF-2.1 and my Thorens TD 150 the platters ... | |
| What TT upgrade from tweaked Thorens TD160 Here's a suspension alternative:http://www.theanalogdept.com/spring_alternatives.htmI did this to my TD 150 and it worked quite well. It eliminated the footfall problem and provided at least as much "magic" as the springs. It also made balancing m... |
