| interconnnect for tri-planer arm? Triplanar has a new wire for the arm FWIW. **Much** more supple than the old wire. | |
| Just how good is the Technics SL-1200? Anyone with a 1200 should look at this site: http://www.mikenewaudio.com/bearing.phpThe link I posted is for the new bearing! Between that and the new platter I suspect this would make a really nice machine! | |
| Lazarus Audio any Schematics Anyone? Hifigeek1, the phono section is nearly the same as the PAS-3. The line stage is different but very simple- just a 12AX7 with the first half direct-coupled to a cathode follower.There is regulation in the power supply. None that has anything to do ... | |
| Tannoy Westminster amp matching question. The amp you want for these is definitely tube! However the efficiency is slightly on the low side as far as SETs go- but of course a lot depends on your room size and listening habits.My speakers (Classic Audio Loudspeakers model T-3.2) is about t... | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? RFI generally does not make clicking sounds. It really sounded like it was a preamp problem, and you seem to have confirmed that. I think you had bad luck with two preamps that both had problems. RFI is often accompanied by hum and buzzing sounds ... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? Rtilden, Thanks for the comments.We have done 105 quite comfortably at shows (when things were working) and not been able to manage 95 db (when they weren't).Even though I rarely play the system that loud, I can comfortably play 115 db at home wit... | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? Spirit, If I were you I would not do any mods to anything without having first run the system that you set up. Simon did mention to me something about that cap mod, but it was in the context of dealing with cables and poor digital front ends. IOW ... | |
| My amp has no faults That is a really nice quote! | |
| Differential Monoblocks with twin REL subs Heck I would just hook it up and see if it works. If it seems OK when you power up the subs, maybe it is. If there is a problem it will tell you right away and you turn it off and see what you can do.Most subs that I have dealt with run right off ... | |
| Best Tube Amp/Preamp combination with Quad 2805s Well, *I* prefer our amps, so you will have to take my preference with a grain of salt. | |
| Static electricity: Unique to Vinyl Systems? Here in Minnesota, it can get pretty dry in the winter. But I never have pops from the turntable- ever.To me it sounds like a bad ground so let's try a few things and see if I am right.First, disconnect the tone arm cable from the preamp. Do you s... | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? I think by this time we are seeing what some of the issues are with filling a large room. Nearly everyone who mentions a speaker with lower efficiencies is also recommending a subwoofer and quite often some very powerful amplifiers.The problem wit... | |
| My amp has no faults Even though tubes may have the most amplification faults, those faults are an easy trade off for the characteristics I value in entertainment playback as opposed to the desired clinical playback the switching amplifiers provide in my studio.The re... | |
| Tube Monoblocks in the 5-7K Range The combination of ESLs and OTLs has been considered the match made in heaven since the 1950s.Getting rid of one of the matching transformers does make things more transparent. Plus you have the additional advantage of the OTL making better more e... | |
| Best Tube Amp/Preamp combination with Quad 2805s The Modwright is on the Voltage Paradigm. So on the Quads it will not make the bass that the speaker is capable of. You will have far better luck with the VAC. |
