| Best SS 200 wpc amps Hard to believe that Accuphase hasn't been mentioned. I tried a lot of product before settling on the $6000 model P450 which can now be found used for half that or less if you're lucky. Appearance is to-die-for with those big lighted meters & ... | |
| Do lifters degrade sound I've wondered the same thing sometimes, but I believe the elcheapo adaptors certainly can't be the best thing to connect to a $125 Wattgate plug.Mike VansEvers offers two-prong upgrade AC cords for this very reason. Probably some others that I'm u... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Mot I have the same problem with static buildup; it definitly occurs during playback as I too use Zerostat, followed by a blast of canned air for final dustoff before cueing up. Also I use a dab of Last stylus cleaner. I know that my arm is ground... | |
| Dust Cover for Thorens TD-147......... Hi Charles you can always input any member's name into Learn, Member Lookup: you will get a link to the member's email, active ads, feedback, etc. Here's a link to Vinh's turntable-cover ad; just highlight it with your cursor then copy to clipboar... | |
| Krell KAV 250 A here's another issue: was thinking that if the 300i does not externally link its preamp output section to its power amp input section, then you have no external access to variable-level preamp output to drive an external power amp anyway. You cann... | |
| Dust Cover for Thorens TD-147......... contact membername - Vtvu. Vinh makes custom covers & does a nice job. He can clone a copy of your original. | |
| Krell KAV 250 A Bryan certainly makes a good point. Not being familiar with this 300i piece myself I don't know if in fact there are outboard connectors that allow separating the preamp stage from the poweramp section; in fact these connections may not even be av... | |
| Krell KAV 250 A Going from a 300i to a 250a driven by the 300i's preamp will certainly add some slam factor & dynamics to your rig. The 250a that I had seemed to never run out of steam; it has considerable headroom & sounded quite detailed esp. for an av ... | |
| Help with trigger voltage differential - Thanks get yourself a basic electronics textbook & read up on DC voltage doublers. You can easily build this circuit yourself on vectorboard (or have a knowledgable tech do so for you) mount an input & output connector, assemble this into a bud b... | |
| " A tube in its last breath" (1) increases in idle noise floor & (2) microphonicsare two degradation mechanisms that are normally first detected by ear & are not even measurable with most common tube testers | |
| Noise Filters & ferrite beads.... Agree with Twl. My personal experiences with ferrite bear out the theory above - it definitely causes degradations.The only way to determine the effects of adding the noise filter is to install it & then listen some more. | |
| Cartridge Tracking Force 2 or 3 grams is no problem: I have a Grado that seems to track best at around 2.7 | |
| MIT MH-750 Shotgun Speaker Cable It seems that MIT is either very much liked by some, or is very much disliked by others. Everyone has their personal taste & opinions, likes & dislikes, which is of course as it should be.A number of years ago I decided to try some MH750+ ... | |
| Experience with Chang Lightspeed Conditioners? No complaints here...I use a 3200 for my source components & a 9900 Amp (30 amp capacity) for my amp of course, both sourced from a dedicated AC line. Nice thing about the Chang's is their integral transient protection snubbers, which if not f... | |
| Duntech The Sovereigns are now some great old classics IMO, but they're so huge & heavy (not to mention they cost a small fortune new) that they're hardly mainstream. We used to be in awe of these 375 lb. monsters at the CES demo's; when driven by Spe... |
