| Best Analog for $10K I was just at VPI Industries today. I am impressed with the service and the people there. Since they are made in the US I learn more towards a company that has made an excellent product and can get serviced.That being said, some of the new TTs t... | |
| Crackling and hiss - Preamp tubes not seated right? @stereo5 - Besides cash, I accept checks if you want to give some away! LOL | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I never even look at specs, to me they do have a sound. BUT I understand if others do. That being said, you can get a pair of Vandersteen 5As cheap these days in the $6K range. I never go by any dealer or show set-ups because they never sound a... | |
| Pierre Lurne - Audiomeca He would prefer that you give me the questions as he is not very versed with electronic equipment so if you would send me the questions I will give him the info for you.Peter | |
| Pierre Lurne - Audiomeca I will provide the information when I get home later tonight or latest by tomorrow.Peter | |
| The imperfect amp: Pass or Ayre? Very interesting and informative comments. The most pleasurable power amplifiers I have heard with my Vandersteen model 5A speakers are the Lafayette KT-550 tube amp, the refurbished old Luxkit power amp (sounds amazing) and the hybrid tube amps t... | |
| Things that make you go, "Hmmmmm...." Here is my 2 cents. The best transport I have heard to date is the Audiomeca Mephisto II. Out of business with little parts around to repair it. Same goes for my top of the line (15 years ago) Metronome with separate power supply. Nothing new ... | |
| How much are AR AR3's worth these days? In decent shape they go for $2K and up. Ebay would be the best place to sell them. Overseas buyers from Japan seem to love them and most of them do a complete rebuild of the speakers anyway so foam surrounds, etc., are usually not an issue. $10... | |
| Schematic for Aronov SA 60/ 960 If you are close to the NYC area I can take a look at it.Happy Listening. | |
| Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot IMO it probably is running as it is designed to run. I have a Luxkit amp that runs hot, very hot to the touch so you wouldn't leave your hand on the unit and it has open vent slots but small heat sinks. The kit has been around 30 years and works... | |
| Atma-sphere Updates He makes excellent components, enjoy! | |
| What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard? Luxkit Class A power amplifier. | |
| SIMPLY AMAZING: Coda Technologies 07x Preamplifier "The lower noise floor you get with SS compared to tubes leading to more clarity and micro-details being more easily heard, along with greater overall dynamics."This may be true of many tube preamps but not all of them. I make tube equipment that ... | |
| Transformer coupled outputs/inputs in preamplifiers. Why limit yourself there? Choke loaded preamps, preamps without capacitors in the signal path. etc. DHT deisgns, etc. | |
| Which stereo amp to try under $30k When you want to get serious about an amplifier I can send you a custom built point-to-point wired, Plitron transformer and choke, Nichicon Super Through capacitors, Amtrans, Caddock, and Shinkoh resistors, HexFreds and V-Capacitors in a hybrid po... |
