| Looking for former Hales System 2 owners feedback I had a pair of the Hales Systen Two "Signatures" (not sure if we are talking about the same speakers) back in 1993 and loved them. Mine were finished in walnut and they were not brown like other walnut speakers. I loved the balanced uncolored sou... | |
| Is bias setting necessary on matched tubes? Yes, the bias will need to be reset. Make sure the bias pot is turned all the way down before turning on the amp. Let the tubes warm up for 10 minutes and then bring the bias up slowly to the recommended settings. With new tubes, check the bias ag... | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 "BRF I have to ask, how does the 334 lack soul and emotion?" The 334 never engaged me with the music. I have long since moved over to SET, therefore, you could say my preference is biased more to the organic side of neutral. My experience with the... | |
| Recapping Cary CAD805C monos Cary utilized the new Cardas Teflon caps in their Founder's Edition amplifiers, but I have not heard these in an 805 amp. I have heard a Cary 805 re-capped with a) Mundorf Gold/Silver and oil caps and b) V-Caps and I much preferred the Mundorf. | |
| Tube upgrade for VAC Ren 30/30 I would suggest living with your system for a while and try to find out what is missing and that will allow us to recommend a tube with the missing attribute. | |
| Mark Levinson No. 334 vs 23.5 I've owned the 20.6 and 23.5 and have heard the 334 at great lengths and if it were my money I would buy a "real" Mark Levinson and go for the 23.5 or if you really want to treat yourself, find a pair of 20.6! The 334 are bit more transparent than... | |
| who makes the highest output power conditioner Two dedicated 20A lines for each power amp and spend the left over money on music. It has been my experiewnce that power conditioning works best on the front end. | |
| Improper ground For $5 you can buy a 3 prong circuit tester, that way you can tell for sure what's grounded, determine proper phase etc. | |
| Anyone ever seen a Krell KSA 150 with black face? Yup, I have seen a KSA 250, MDA 500 and the KSA 150 all in black. The Krell dealer back then use to basically only stock the black faced Krell as he thought it had a greater WAF and also made the amps less imposing. | |
| Dumb Question about cables Cables act like antennas. The longer the antenna (Cable), the better they pick up signals. If you have an 8 foot unshielded cable, you in effect have an 8 foot antenna. By applying insulation, you reduce the effective length of the antenna i.e. ca... | |
| Analog Tuner Existence..... I have owned a lot of hi-end tuners from the McIntosh MR-71, 77, 78 and 80. I have owned the Tandberg 3001A and the Yamaha CT7000 along with a few T2's. I love tuners, but got tired of the limited broadcast content and quality of the signal. My fa... | |
| Mark Levinson 333 vs Classe ca300 Classe....simply for their service history and reputation, plus it is a nice sounding amp. I would not touch ML with a 10 foot pole due to ther lack of service and support and especially considering the ML 300 series problems. | |
| Cary 306SACD trouble Does the door open and close without a CD? | |
| Why are European Amps more expensive than Domestic They are asking the same question on the other side of the pond regarding American made amps....shipping, distribution, warranty, exchange rates, import taxes just to name a few. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers with “Big” sound? Most Monitors with good quality stands take up as much room as many floor standers, will these "bookshelf" speaker be actually put on a shelf? |
