| tube phono stage upgrade Fromunda: My apology! I typed in AU when I should have typed AG-1000 which is the phono-pre-amp. My offer still stands. Rob. | |
| tube phono stage upgrade I have a Wright AU-1000. I lived close to George Wright and got to hear most of his product line. I tried his other phono pre-amps and the AU-1000 is much quieter. In spite of the fact this is a MM pre-amp I used it to drive a Denon 103R which is ... | |
| Placette RVC I had an Accuphase E-202 and did exactly what you want to do-- by-passed the pre-amp section of the Accuphase and used the Placette. It was a stunning improvement. Rob. | |

| Wright Sound AG Phono Preamp questions Hi: I have an AG phono but the configuration is slightly different than yours. I bought mine directly from George Wright since I only lived 25 miles from him. Mine uses 4 12ax7s and one ecc99/12bh7. You have the correct tubes. I haven't experience... | |
| Amps and the ESL 57 I have ESLs and have 6 different amps that all drive them easily. Heathkit UA-1&2s, Bedini 25/25,Scott 222B, Stromberg-Carlson EL 84 amp. Electrocompaniet Ampliwire 70 is a great SS amp that also handles them easily. | |
| Is Magnepan MG IIIa noticeably better than MG 2.7 I have owned both and preferred the IIIAs because of the true ribbon tweeter. If you live near Seattle feel free to come over and listen to them. | |
