| SET the best? I was one of the pioneering voices of the SET movement and as I grew with the hobby I discovered that as good as SET amplifiers are, there are not as many good loudspeakers to complete the chain. Having heard well set up-up Wilsons, Magicos and ow... | |
| B and O Turntables I once bought a 4002 for my Mom. At the time I had a vacuum SOTA and the Walker Gold Pros. You know? That B&O was very very compelling. It had a monsterous soundstage and great detail. It was missing a little low end, but that's all. Highly re... | |
| Need Help on my ML 26 This c-o-u-l-d be carbon deposits or trace deterioration on the pot's sweeper. Usually it's at a certain area on the sweeper. But this would happen slowly over time-- not suddenly.Peter | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? I would not personally buy an amplifier that is not 120V, 60 cycles. One, for performance. Two, for resale. Professionally, I always recommend buying from the proper country's distributor -- for service and for warranty. Plus, they can be invaluab... | |
| An honest opinion about upgrading? I would try swapping the preamp. I know it's apples to watermelons but I demo'ed a Rouge pre years ago and it was rather dull on the top. I don't know all their models so I can't pinpoint this as your issue. Mark O'Brian is a good designer and I w... | |
| Tubelike SS Power amp I think the more SS amps try to sound like tube amps the less they do. Yes, designers can get a soft sound but then it's neither fish nor fowl. There are a handful of classic amps that can close, but they are far and few. 1st rule is you have to h... | |
| Krell KSA 250 vs Krell MDA 300 I am a KSA/KMA fan and I think these older Krells are superb. Very-very fast with huge dynamics and expansive soundstages. It's funny, years ago, while wearing SET goggles, I scoffed at Krell. Nowadays, with more need for power and slam I find mys... | |
| Help choosing a Conrad Johnson preamp I've owed three Premier 10s-they are very dimensional and smooth but not as tuby sounding as the Premier 3. If you are seeking holographic imaging and can forego slap-the-face taut bass you will be very happy. The highs are airy and realistic. It'... | |
| Anyone ever seen a Krell KSA 150 with black face? I have a pair of KMA-400s with black faces and I love the look of them. It makes them look more subtle, and more refined.Peter | |
| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm Its good to see that others (Raul who I trust) feel it best to experiment as well. I was afraid of the compliance Police, and that I'd get a ticket for non-matching!I will add that I do have to disagree with the above poster who believes that mid/... | |
| Which Moscode 300 vs 600 Many (many) years ago, before knowing HR, I borrowed a 600 for a week to drive my Infinity RS2bs. Reading the above posts was like going back in time. I concur, through the cloud of my memories, that the 600 was indeed lifeless. It made music, but... | |
| Cartridge Suggestions for a Black Widow Tonearm I use BWs on a number of my tables. I find the arm to work very well (even) with med to low compliance cartridges. There is a mistaken belief that you cannot use low compliance MC cartridges with low mass arms. This is just not so in my opinion. I... | |
| Green light from spouse - now what Many dedicated rooms I see look like caves. Small or no windows, wall to wall records and ugly diffusers with no original art (paintings or sculptures) and a single high back listening chair. I enjoy a room with a great view and I light up the out... | |
| Comparison of ARC Ref3 and C-J CT5 Neal,What 6sn7s are you using? I would like to hear your thoughts on the CJ comparison. The Opal seems to offer me the best of both worlds... very detailed yet big and musical and vi-vi-vivid. I'm using the EH 6sn7s and I much prefer them over NOS... | |
| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... A Thorens TD-160 and a Denon 160 cartridge would be my top recommendation at 450 USD. You will get a great 3D stage and have wonderful pace and drive. Peter |
