| I am sure this has been discussed but want a fresh take. Mapleshade / Timbernation racks? I also like the Salmander Archetype racks - a lot of bang for the buck but they need to be tweaked to get the best sound out of them.I will add a vote for Timbernation. The good- great racks, beautiful, solidly built and weigh a ton. The bad 0 t... | |
| 12BH7 Nos In my two amps that use 12BH7 I can't say that I have noticed a difference between tube brands or NOS and new.12AX7 is another matter entirely. Long subject that has been discussed and rehashed before on this and every other audio forum. There a... | |
| A Tube Change Really Can Make A Difference I haven't owned all that many Visseaux tubes but every one I had looked to me like a re-branded or OEM'd RCA tube. And Popes were a Philips brand, made in Holland. | |
| Mission 761i Speakers I just bought a pair of Mission 737s for one of my daughters. I was always a fan of Mission speakers and they still sound great. Upgrade the output caps (cheap and easy) and you will have a great time listening to these. | |
| Reel to reel I hope that I'm not acting the wet noodle here, but I am confused by claims that an LP recorded to tape and then played back has MORE fidelity than the original album. How is that possible?I'm not coming from nowhere with this question. Years ag... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? If DD is the way to go I would suggest looking for the best Luxman PD-441 you can find. These sound and look great and are easy and affordable to restore, if needed. New arm boards are available and you can mount pretty much whatever tonearm(s) ... | |
| ortofon rmg 309 i Sorry, I misunderstood your question. I had one of these a few years ago and sold it without ever mounting it. It's possible I may have made a copy of the manual and if so I will send you a PM. | |
| ortofon rmg 309 i Dynamic balancing is not a "thing" you do, it's a design of the tonearm.Long answer: a static-balanced arm is a simple counterweighted lever. A dynamically-balanced tonearm still has to be statically balanced (more or less) but uses a spring or m... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? latenitecity, I have only seen and heard the Feikert table (Woodpecker?) at a show several years ago. It was a very beautiful table but my impression was that the wide drive belt was a little noisy. Maybe the metal top plate was a little resonan... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? I really can't image comparing the Linn to the Palmer - they are both good decks but have completely different strengths and weaknesses. To be fair, I am not an owner or a fan of either but I have spent a considerable amount of time with both and... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Rock and roll music is the sole reason Vandersteen speakers exist. A new pair of IICs will be just over your target price. A used pair will save you a bundle. | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Gents, equalizers or DSP can do a lot, assuming that you are willing to put up with the extra analog-digital-analog conversion.But an equalizer CANNOT compensate for either a bad room ratio (square) and too much speaker in too small a room. DSP c... | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Sorry, late to the party again.IMO your room is waaay to small for La Scalas. Before spending more money I would try a pair of Heresy IIIs. Use them stock on the floor, tilted). If you like the Klipsch house sound (albeit minus the shrillness) ... | |
| Easy to drive, outstandingly natural sound from 40-50 Hz up.....AN-E, O/96, others? I one owned a pair of speakers that sounded hauntingly beautiful with a low powered SS amp: the original JM Reynaud Ofrande speakers, made in France. Absolutely beautiful looking and sounding speakers.I ran these with an Atoll 80w SS integrated a... |
