| Alpha-core advise? When I purchase my MI-2s they came with the Zoebel network already integrated into the design. No extra work on my part. It doesn't hurt to have it on their even if you don't need it from what I was told by Alpha Core. | |
| Alpha-core advise? My MI-2 Veracity cables broke in just nicely on their own over a weekend. No cable cooking required. I Have had them over a year now and love them. As to your other dilemma I plead ignorance but am curious as to the outcome. | |
| Should I purchase an expensive phono preamp I had a Whest in my system, and heard it in a couple of others. While I agree it is a great phonostage and worked nicely in my system, it is very system dependent, not to mention susceptible to EMI and RF. The prices on the Whest units are droppin... | |
| Tube Preamplifier Time The Modwright 9.0SE should be right up your alley. I owned the Cary SLP-98 and while I agree that it is warm, it is an incredible preamp. I now own a Joule Electra LA-100 MkIII and while it is a tad on the warm side, it is an extremely musical pre... | |
| need help with rca cables I'm not sure this will help you but I've been pretty impressed with RSAD Poeima!!! cables of late. Also, I am going to be trying the new Oritek cables that seem to have developed a following. | |
| Analog Lovers and Filterless DACs My Audio Mirror DAC combined with my Alesis Masterlink 9600 is a combination that has served me well. Both have been modified by TRL so they are no longer stock. The stock Audio Mirror was great, but now is even better. Considering the cost of the... | |
| tube amps with El 34s your favorites ?? While I had it in my system the Cary V12i was a nice sounding EL-34 based tube amp. You could also experiment with other output tubes as well. | |
| Entry level phono stage I was going to recommend the Bellari. For the money it seems like a nice phono stage. I haven't heard it myself, but reviews have been positive. Maybe you can get it on a 30 day trial and check it out. | |
| ground loop HUM please help Granite Audio makes a device called the Ground Zero that should solve the problem. It's a bit pricey but comes with a 30 day trial. | |
| Does such a beast exist? Electra-Print, Space Tech Labs, Goldpoint, and Welborne Labs are some other options. All are passive designs and can be customized to meet your needs. Well within your budget too. | |
| Cartridge abuse Same with me. I'm very careful around my cartridge but the one time I screw up it's major damage. In this case I lost a 6 month old Benz M2. I guess the bright side of it is the Benz trade in program allowed me to get an L2 as a replacement for a ... | |
| Tube dealers in los angeles? You might want to check with Brooks Berdan in Monrovia or Mitch Singerman in LA as well. On eBay there is a seller with the username Valvetronics in LA and here on Audiogon a seller with the user name Whoopdeedoo who is in your area. | |
| Virtual Dynamics Audphile - I'm using a Cable Research Labs (old FIM taken over by TRL) digital cable terminated with Bocchino RCAs (as selected by Paul Weitzel). Excellent cable, but I will be looking for a set of ICs for my TRL modified Sony DVP-NS900V, hence my... | |
| Smooth sounding Inter connects RCA RCA ? Any ... The Poeima!!! from RSAD was the ticket for me. Never thought that a silver cable could sound this smooth. Lots of detail without the edge. | |
| Transistor research labs D-225, PRICE? The D-225 is the amp version, the ST-225 integrated is $5500. |
