| Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why? Most of the above speakers are nice but not classics. To start with most above are not 'mini' monitors and to be clear I'm not denigrating any of them. Arguably the Rogers LS35a *does* fit that description though. Possibly also the Radio Shack Opt... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong And for the most part in the nCore/ICEpower/Pascal/TI world this is true, though recent amplifiers from Technics blur the line further, with an A/D stage, DSP processing and unknown amounts of analog feedback at the outputs. Yes, that does add ... | |
| Suggestions on turntable to pair with Rogue RP-7 > Finale 300B SET monos > Heresy 3's The Technics SL1200G is a good machine- you can spend a lot more and not get as good.You're going to have to have a phono section too. A good phono section will have less surface noise (with actually wider bandwidth) than a bad one. Most people do... | |
| Will 2 watts monoblock 45 tube amp work for 90db speakers ? think I would be looking for speakers in the 94-98 db eff range for use with a 45 SET amp....they are really about 1.5 watts, 2 watts is pushing them pretty hard. Actually 1.5 watts is about double what you traditionally get out of a 45. You re... | |
| Proac 2.5 Response tweeter upgrade with Ribbon Tweeter? It looks like you are using a tube amp with medium to low power. The Proac 2.5 is very inefficient, but can produce deep bass (see the review in Stereophile). FWIW we sold our M-60 amplifier to a lot of Response 2.5 owners back when the speaker ... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong This amp opened my eyes what digital can do, I'm not a digital snob anymore. I'm now wanting to look at more current digital amps to see what there all about, mine is quiet but you do hear a little noise if you put your ear close to speaker.Jus... | |
| Will 2 watts monoblock 45 tube amp work for 90db speakers ? I've heard Ralph from Atmasphere say that you don't want to push tube amps to the higher end of their output range as their sound quality begins to suffer, so you may want to consider that as you search for an appropriate tube amp. To clarify t... | |
| MARANTZ MODEL 10 TUBE AMP/ TUNER AND MARANTZ 7 TUBE PREAMP Also, of course, missing or non-original parts can adversely affect value, in some cases even if the non-original parts restore or improve performance. That can present a dilemma when it comes to classic pieces such as these. Yes- back when the... | |
| MARANTZ MODEL 10 TUBE AMP/ TUNER AND MARANTZ 7 TUBE PREAMP The owner told me that amp and preamp was used from time to time and they stopped using it when they removed their ceiling speakers recently.Sounds to me like a bit of luck that the stuff is still running in that case. It really is a good idea to... | |
| TriPlanar Tips So moving 2 whole number increments (~5 mm) changes the arm angle a little more than 1 degree (~..6mm more.) The pivot to stylus tip distance will vary depending on cartridge.Did I get this right? @jtimothya Looks like it to me. A more effectiv... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR The Triplanar can be mounted on the Technics. I've done this for a few Triplanar customers to which Lew refers above. To do this I designed an armboard machined of solid aluminum that fit where the original arm mounted, such that the result was a ... | |
| MARANTZ MODEL 10 TUBE AMP/ TUNER AND MARANTZ 7 TUBE PREAMP Have they been refurbished? If not, I would only plug them in long enough to see that they light up; any longer than that and the power transformers are at risk due to failing filter capacitors in the power supplies.If they have been refurbished, ... | |
| 16 ohm speakers with 5 ohm amp ? Two things- you may have slightly higher distortion on account of the transformer ringing. Often this is offset by the tubes themselves having lower distortion. You will also get less power. | |
| Converting balanced output from a DaySequerra tuner to unbalanced input for my preamp? All XLR outputs are male. | |
| Preamp no longer makes a difference after caps and wire A lot of people claim that cables take some time to break in. I've been doing this long enough that I don't question these claims; if I were you I wouldn't sell anything until you've had some time on the system. It does not matter if the cables br... |
