| Balanced or Unbalanced? Lupinthe3rd and Dave, balanced lines have been shown to be an advantage when the interconnect length is only 6 inches. Their advantages are not based on length, although that **is** an advantage that they have. The real advantage is that the balan... | |
| Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers? Class A (in general) will produce less distortion than any other form of operation. The human ear uses odd-ordered harmonics as loudness cues; in particular the 5th, 7th and 9th. Although only found in trace amounts in most amplifiers, even very s... | |
| lps sound bad Humorem, naturally I would not make any comment about ELP's first album and the qualities of the pressings if I did not have them! I have had around 10 copies of the Cotillian press over the years, none of them could hold a candle to the Pink Isla... | |
| Where to buy vinyl? gemm.com and of course ebay.com. Gemm is one of the better sources as you can look up vinyl being sold from all over the world. Of course, be ready to pay. Original vinyl is often worth a pretty penny! | |
| Any Ampex users out there? Roger, the 350 is a completely different animal! They are designed for the 300 series transport and have a different hookup. I was able to simply plug the 351s in without too much modification, although I did have to work with the head nest, to ge... | |
| lps sound bad Sns, If you really want to hear what LPs are all about, you might want to reflect on the process that made them. Just like books, first editions of LPs are the key. You want the LP made in the country that the band recorded in, and the first press... | |
| 16K to Spend. Help me make the end all Upgrade. I've been running the Classic Audio Reproductions T3, equipped with the field coil drivers. So far it is the best combination of characteristics I have heard in a loudspeaker.97db, 20Hz-45Khz, 16 ohms, ultra transparent (rivals any ESL), easy to d... | |
| Recommended 12au7/5814s for Atma-sphere MP-3 12BH7s have twice the filament current, but you should be able to run them. They are based on the 6SN7 geometry- I'd be interested in what you think. | |
| Any Ampex users out there? I run a 440 transport with 351 electronics. This gives me remote control as the AG-440 has a head lifter. | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Sirspeedy, Once the stereo LP was introduced, everybody began using the same EQ curve, which was defined by the RIAA. That curve was nearly the standard in the mono LP era with very little exception. It was during the 78 period that every label ha... | |
| Laid Back Speakers amps, players etc Mrtennis, I would be hesitant in this case to take the face value of the phrase for its actual meaning; if you think of someone who has a laid back demeanor I think you get a better idea of what I am talking about.As to your question, we avoid col... | |
| Amp/preamp suggestions in $3000-4000 range You can find a set of our M-60s used in that range and they drive 2CEs beautifully. | |
| PAS-2, PAS-3x versus Eico HF-85 I've done update/modifications to both. The Dynaco is a lot better place to start!We still do updates to the PAS-2/PAS-3, with an updated phono section, a nice line stage (no tone controls), stepped volume control and power supply regulation. They... | |
| Thunderbolt Pagoda LP now available Hi Rushton, one thing we tried really hard at was to play everything at the same time. Getting the mics set properly was a challenge, as the drum mics wanted to pick up everything else. We had to keep different channels though, to create the right... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? Raul is incontrovertibly correct about RIAA EQ. **Anyone** who says otherwise is not only wrong, but likely trying to sell you something :)If you want to hear the recording engineer/musician's intention, your RIAA EQ should be correct. Incremental... |
