| Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2? $14,800, ouch. | |
| Phono pre amp K&K Audio SE has a volume control option. Another thought is considering you have a Hovland amp why not one of the Hovland preamps. I know its a full function preamp and has more inputs than you'll need, but it is an active linestage and would... | |
| Opinion on Nakamichi azimuth tape decks please I still use my 680ZX. Very reliable after all these years. | |
| AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by .... I also use the Alan Maher Designs Reference Power Center V2 along with a number of his Power Enhancers. They replaced a Running Springs Haley which I also hold in high regard.Having tried power regenerators like PS Audio and Exact Power, as well a... | |
| Best Turntable/arm/cartridge system for $30k If you've made your mind up to spend $30k on an analog rig then I assume you can travel to audition. Heck you could use some of that $30k for a travel budget and still have enough cash to buy a state of the art analog rig.The advice to visit Galib... | |
| Looking for a good Transport. Help. The CEC TL-51X is a great deal at around $800 used. The Northstar 192 is also very good. I've had both in my system and could live happily with either of them. I only use the CEC TL-51X now because it is slaved to my Lessloss DAC.Perhaps a 47 Labs... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's I know what I heard but I will make one correction to my statement. Instead of "flavor" Dale used the term "sonic signature." Same thing IMO although some may disagree. The advice was imparted to me by Dale as I was breaking in a set of his Mosaic... | |
| Charles Hansen of Ayre saved my love for audio Dave,I'm very satisfied with the AMD products and find them to do what they are advertised to do. Keep in mind as I mention this that the AMD products replaced a Running Springs Audio Haley in my system which is an excellent product in its own rig... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier Congratulations on your purchase Dave. Glad to hear you are happy with the Samson's and TRL sound.The low level listening aspect of the TRL sound is truly amazing. I found myself in the same situation as you, but instead of a wife it was neighbors... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Dave,My experience in general when breaking in any component, except for speakers, is that volume does not to be turned up for break in to occur. I do know some people who have told me running different levels of signals is helpful, but not from m... | |
| Charles Hansen of Ayre saved my love for audio Other things you can try unplugging are:Microwave, washing machine, dryer, refrigerator, basically anything on your circuits with a switching power supply. Doesn't matter if its on the same circuit your audio gear is plugged into or not. If you we... | |
| Anyone using the Transistor Research LabsM 225's Standard TRL rule of thumb is 400 hours break in. You should do this by leaving the equipment on 24/7 and running a signal through it. From my experience it does not have to be at low level volume. I burned in my D-225 by playing a CD on repeat wh... | |
| Tube Amp,Solid State Preamp. I use a tube amp with solid state preamp as well. As Newbee said I actually prefer a passive preamp in front of the tube amp. Right now I alternate a LightSpeed passive attenuator and JRDG Capri with my VAC Auricle Musicblocs. Both are great combi... | |
| Cartridge Setup w/Geodisc by MoFi If it were me, and the current cartridge was well taken care of and in great shape, I'd opt for the better protractor. However, you need to be sure you're up to performing the task correctly.I have used a Geodisc before when I had my SOTA Star Sap... | |
| Review: Tube Research Labs Samson monoblock amps Amplifier Hooper - If a solid state integrated amp is what you're after, add the TRL ST-225 integrated to your list. |
