| Tube Amps and Friendly Speakers - Back Impedance Thanks Unsound. I assume your reference to "insight" is a pun. If so, very clever. :-') No doubt that having good vision is a blessing. Ditto with good hearing. And how to better enjoy the blessing of good hearing than to listen to beautiful music... | |

| Tube Amps and Friendly Speakers - Back Impedance Folks, I'd like to keep this OP open for a while. I've sent some private messages to a few of our fellow tech members. If Al (Almarg), one of our most tech-wise members, is scratching his head a bit, I think clarity and insight would be helpful an... | |
| If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone Tubegroover ...., with any luck, Judy has left the building. Mercifully, I don't recall seeing any of her "insight-less" posts in quite a few weeks. | |
| Tube Dealer Recommendation Upscale Audio/Kevin Deal: +2 | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited Hi Jonathan, maybe you can answer my question. Do you think my set-up, using the Kleos, could handle the Telarc?? | |
| Tube Amps and Friendly Speakers - Back Impedance Correct Al. Btw, just for fun, I pulled the Stereophile article which listed 2013 recommeded componenents -- speakers in particular. I drilled into the Class A speaker list write-ups and read John Atkinson's bench test reports, focusing on the imp... | |
| Telarc 1812 revisited You guys peaked my curiosity about the Telarc 1812. I have a much older version: Eugene Ormandy conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra, recorded on Columbia Masterwork. Also including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and cannons courtesy of the Valley F... | |
| no looking back Doug ... how effective is dry brushing? Pretty stinky?? I really want to road test an ultrasonic cleaning machine where I can drop and click. Just too darn expensive. Maybe its back to the hand wash and dry VPI 16.5 RCM. :-( | |
| no looking back Hi Lew, is my laziness comprising playback quality and perhaps stylus life if I just dry brush my LPs?? I really like the idea of picking up an ultrasonic machine that cleans and dry multiple records at one time. Problem is I just sprung for a new... | |
| no looking back Kinda agree with Stringreen, not for technical reasons, but out of sheer laziness. When I use the vinyl side of my rig, I swipe the record with a carbon fiber brush that "seems" (??) to pick up a lot of dust. I also use a soft carbon fiber brush t... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Learsfool ..., happens to be that I agree with you. Just talking out loud for a minute, I wonder if the problem you touch on is exacerbated by the current state of digital media not conforming to a uniform industry standard. Seems to me that each ... | |
| CNN article Tgrisham +1 and a +1 to Tostadosunidos. I'm 60 years old as well, but Mr. Tostad ... makes a fair point. | |
| Shelter 501 versus Soundsmith Zephr ? Agree with Patsua. The Zephyr was my primary cartridge for quite some time until I got hooked this Spring on Lyra cartridges. I started with the Lyra Delos and moved up to the Kleos. I think the Lyra cartridges sound better on my set-up. My vinyl ... | |
| Joule Electra LA -150 ii/ 200 and impedance issues Springbok, yup it's just like Al said. Take a look at some of my posts which discussed how I loaded my ARC Ref 3/5 preamp's 2 outputs: Main 1 -- drives the main amp. Main 2: -- drives a single subwoofer. ARC recommends that the combined load imped... |
