| SF Cremonese Q BTW, noromance: 301 is hammertone, early serial #, already sorted by Dobbins, in all original state...yeah, will set that up, maybe let go of the simple-in-retirement Thales idea. Or maybe have both!!! And so the illness goes... | |
| SF Cremonese Q Thanks, folks.NoRomance: that's funny...and probably true! Just sold LM speakers and Wavac monos (still have my 2nd system: Spendor LS/35As, AirTight ATM300B, some little cheap streaming thing so my wife can have music in the kitchen while she bak... | |
| What preamp creates the largest soundstage? Ditto on Atma-Sphere, VAC...add in Joule Electra. | |
| Amp Upgrade time, $6000 budget, used or new. Pass Labs, best you can find for the $. Decent resale too. | |
| Speaker recommendation for Shindo D'Yquem amps (Vosnee-Romanee pre)... LM 755i's...but you should know this already. | |
| Amp Recommendation for Vienna Acoustics Tim, I put a friend into your speakers as a starter system...they are 4 ohm, so, yeah, they could use some drive, but thinking they necessarily need SS or 200W is, um, well...If you've had tubes 14 yrs, then I would strongly advise that you look t... | |
| Tube Rolling with the Line Magnetic 518 IA 845 - Psvane12AX7s - Mullard ECC83, long plate, goal post getter with code f91 on tube (about 1958), about $200 - 250 for a good matched pair on ebay from a good seller.6L6/KT66: original (not reissue) Genalex, matched pairs $300 - 400 on ebay (a ... | |
| Best 300B SET Charles1: I agree, the AirTight is hard to move away from. It's very dynamic - for a low-powered SET, and that's a hard-to-get-quality in such an amp - but I've always thought that it lacked a certain low-level nuance in the mids, some subtle harm... | |
| Best 300B SET Johnk/Sounds-real....if you've heard the LM mono 300B amps, I would LOVE to hear your impressions...I run an AirTight ATM300 8W SET (WE300B newer production, Genalex GL B749 drop ins for 12AU7s, RCA red label, grey plate 12BH7s & 1940s JAN RCA... | |
| Preamp for Aesthetix / Atma-sphere On the 12BH7s, 1950's Brimars are recognized as the best, maybe followed by RCA white label 1950s D-getters...but I have both and still find the RCA red label, grey plates to be best. All, of course, is contextual (my relative context being a AirT... | |
| The future of preamps Ahhh, yes, I 'tis remember well when, lo those many years ago, 'ol Steven Stone, reviewing still for Stereophile, told us all that passive pre's would soon take over the earth, that active pre's were not, um, "transparent" enough and that, implied... | |
| I need a SET amp to match my Dude Pre. Look at Line Magnetic...Tone Imports, the distributor for Shindo, has these also. | |
| Replacing Power Cord On Flat Screen TV My audio system was down for a spell, so, for kicks, I took the Audio Magic Stealth XXX conditioner and the Electraglide Fat Boy PC and threw them on my Pioneer Elite Kuro 151FD plasma... and now I can't stand to take them off!!! | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Hey Ralph, did you see that nice example of your MP-1 that listed yesterday at $7500? Gone now, but I have to tell you if I wasn't hopelessly in love with my own pre I would have jumped at that. Matched witn that LAMM 1.1 hybrid monos that just li... | |
| Schroder sq and the new talea Derto: on the arm, you are right of course. But, my capitalist self just spent $500 on repair and $500 on NOS tubes and I'm fiscally groping like a fish out of water...so, of course, my addiction is looking for a nudge. On looking for opinion, I k... |
