| Cal Audio Repair? Hello,Cal was last bought out by Go-Video(I think). A simple google search produced this site that claims to repair cal. They are in CT.www.approvedaudioservice.com | |
| Does tubed gear make your speakers hum/buzz? Meech, Put your money away! It is common to hear some tube rush sound or a tranny buzz in some designs. One thing to consider is floating the ground on the preamp and then try floating the ground on the amp itself. You may have a common ground loo... | |
| Cary cares and now I care about Cary. Brainwater, Yes the folks at Cary are very good people and have a true passion for audio gear, as well as the customers that buy from them. Kirk helped me a great deal with some of the battery amps they assembled/manufactured for Nirvana Electric ... | |
| Add a subwoofer or not for two channel only? Check out the Janis 3a/1a combo just posted for $250 smackers in Atlanta. That rocks!! | |
| Add a subwoofer or not for two channel only? Hello,I have always found the old Janis subs very musical with the Janis Interphase 1a amp. I took the first responders advice and bought some nice full range speakers and just sold my Janis. They can be had cheap these days. I always found other ... | |
| Cary sound? I am using the Cary 572SE's which use the Svetlana SV-572. They claim 20wpc but sound much more powerful. I really enjoy the sound of them. I have had all sorts of amps from ARC, Kora, Aronov, BAT, etc.. I think these have a similar sound to the B... | |
| Cary V12 - Output Tubes Problem AISIP,You should call Kirk at Cary Audio and explain which tube positions are not getting heater voltage. Chances are good that there is a fuse associated with that group of tubes.In general tubes rarely all fail at the same time. So the catastrop... | |
| Kora Cosmos Amps Greetings, I have owned the stereo version (Galaxy) and it is a fine amplifier. You can wire that amp in a way that makes it a mono amp as well. Jeff Starr of Kora sent me the wiring diagram. Anyway the Cosmos is supposed to be even better soundin... | |
| Tube novice here. KT88 or EL34? Abal, I have always felt there is something magic about a good KT88 in most amps designed for 6550's that I have owned. I have recently joined the Cary SET crowd after years with the bigger iron. With that said you may want to look at the 300B int... | |
| Tube suggestions for the Aronov LS 9000 The tubes are 7025 labeled RCA. (Previous owner)I always wanted to try the cryogenic JAN Phillips from Ken Chait at http://www.tubeman.com/ in that preamp. I am not sure the whole cryo thing is not snake oil but it would be fun to try. I have also... | |
| best amp match for apogee caliper? Hello, I have owned a number of pairs of Apogee's including the 1 ohm Scintilla (two pairs-I must have been on crack). Anyway I think one of the finest amps built to run the Apogee load and still sound musical is the Coda System 100. It was pricey... | |
| Virginia Audiophiles - I Need Guidance I live in Fredericksburg also and work in DC via train. I bought a used preamp from Deja Vu for a smokin deal but they seem to be very SET and Horn oriented from what I saw in the store. The place is hard to find if you are not from the area. They... | |
| Lazarus Hybrid Amps? Anyone familiar with them? The URL is http://www.incarock.com/ The e-mail is george@incarock.com. Unless things have changed you will not get a response. I have heard from others that they have dealt with Lazarus in the last year so maybe there is a weak connection between ... | |
| Lazarus Hybrid Amps? Anyone familiar with them? They used to make awesome sounding gear. The amps run hot as hell and have incredible bass drive for 50wpc. They are a bit twisted to repair as I tried to repair a balanced section in one of the preamps that I still have nightmares about. The orig... | |
| VPI Record Cleaner Pay it and run. I had a chance to buy one at Christmas from a used dealer here in Atlanta for $350 including tax. You can buy a new one for around $450 including shipping. The same used dealer just brought in his 17 series to sell for $500. I am t... |
