| Stolen SoundLabs - just in case... Hey Duke, it's good to hear you remembered where you parked the car. :-)Brian | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? Nsgarch wrote:You are not unhappy with tube amps, you are unhappy with the ARC tube amp. You love the sound but don't want maintenance/reliability headaches.I tend to agree. Don't give up on tubes just yet. Peak Consult speakers work well with tubes. | |
| New Accustic Arts V3 Tube Dac anyone heard? The Accustic Arts tube DAC has dual 32 bit mono DACs for left and right channels, a Class A power supply with 84,000 uF of capacitance, dual encapsulated toroidal transformers, and a heavy gauge solid aluminum chassis. The hand selected tubes are ... | |
| Best Interface Between Vibraplane and Maple Board I would try the EAR material as Steve Klein suggests, because he distributes the Vibraplane and probably has as much experience with it as anyone. If you don't know of a source for it, you might ask him. You probably want just a thin sheet (a few ... | |
| Heard the Abbingdon Music research CD player? Karel, try plugging the AMR direct into the wall and let us know how the sound compares. | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? Albert, the price on a CTC Blowtorch has never been negotiable, no insiders discount nor accommodation. The price is what it is, because it has always been a labor of love with low markup. I own one and knew Bob Crump better than most people and k... | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? Tony D, it couldn't have been the 2s you heard driven by ARC amps, as the 2s had built in amplifiers.Sanibelsteve, when do the commercials stop? Have you read the posting rules here? | |
| Wood v. Metal for stands. Is there a clear winner? Dpac996, here's an easy experiment. Take everything off one of the glass shelves, then take a key or small screwdriver and strike it, not hard of course. Does it ring? Of course it does. Ringing indicates vibrational energy that will find its way ... | |
| Anyone familiar with Hegeman/Morrison speakers I visited Don Morrison ("Morrison," as he likes to be called) in Toronto last year after making some deliveries to customers. Yes, he is a one man operation, an interesting chap, very nice if eccentric. Considering the modest associated equipment,... | |
| Acoustat , Hafler TNT and Jim Strickland The TNT amps work, but I wouldn't say are the definitive choice. You can also use Acoustat direct drive tube amps (Acoustat X et al.) with the speakers, bypassing the transformer system altogether, although the amps aren't that common and the 6HB5... | |
| Good SS Designers and their lesser known designs John Curl - Dennesen and Symmetry, to name two, although the products were not power amplifiers. | |
| What's your greatest purchase... Sound Lab Ultimate-1s. Had been through quite a few speakers until purchasing these, and later became a dealer for them. | |
| Dali MegaLine overviews from owners ? One of my customers has Megalines. The driver quality appears to be good, but the jumpers and connectors between the three sections appear to be poor, not befitting a $50k speaker, and I must assume the internal wiring and connections are similar.... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 55dok, I may be mistaken but only some of the Dayton Wright XG-10 Mk IIs have leaf tweeters. That's what mine are. They have the XIM-11 interface module which I think is what you are referring to as well - it puts out 15 kV bias voltage instead of... | |
| AMR CD-77 There are posts in this thread by people speculating about products they have neither seen nor heard, nor are they informed about the history of the company and products except by what they have read here and perhaps in the 6moons review.I suppose... |
