| What's the best EL84 amp? @bdp24 Sorry if you felt I was churlish. Just trying to set the record straight and it's probably something I picked up from Roger himself after many years of listening to him trying to set people straight about all things audio. He certainly didn... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? As someone who worked with Roger Modjeski for the last 5 years of his life, and to who (along with a couple other long time friends) he entrusted his business and legacy with upon his passing, I see I need to clear the air here. A lot of facts ab... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? ...with huge transformers. I wonder if that's the difference? @dhcod Yes, sort of. After dealing with the large potted transformers on the RM-9 which accounted for quite a bit of it's weight, Roger wanted a tube amplifier with a small footprint... | |
| active crossover recommendation I have been using the Marchand active crossover for a few years now and like it. I also have an Accuphase F-25 that I use. Lots of options out there. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @bdp24 More people than one would have expected have told us they felt the RM-9 MkII sounded more like a solid state amp than a tube amp. It was certainly a lower distortion amp, with an upgraded power supply featuring added filter capacitance and... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @dhcod Roger made some improvements in the MkII version and laid the groundwork for more improvements in the amps circuit design prior to his death. Note that there are multiple MkII versions (Roger felt as the designer he could make changes anyti... | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? I just saw that WTB ad. Will be in touch. | |
| What's the best EL84 amp? @dhcod They might start popping-up again sooner than later. Keep an eye out for them. I wish there was some way to add an image to give you more clarity, but for now you'll have to trust me on this. | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 I currently use my M60s with Quad ESL 57 and 63 speakers. Previous to that I used AudioKinesis Jazz Modules. In fact someone is selling a pair on AC right now. It's a great match with the M60s, 92 dB, and impedance stays above 8 ohms. As for drivi... | |
| Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost) For those who mentioned it, when you say unloaded do you mean not using any loading plugs or using the 47k ohm loading plugs? I have a VTPH-2A as well and use it primarily for LOMC as it's very quiet. However, I am at a crossroads where I have de... | |
| Graham LS5/5: considered impressions after three months of ownership... Nice interview with Derk Hughes who talks about many of the Graham speakers including he 5/5: https://www.grahamaudio.co.uk/ | |
| Is an autoformer (AVC) always superior to pots and resistors ? Autoformers, transformers, optocouplers, potentiometers, resistors I have all of them. My friend the late Roger Modjeski preferred the old Noble 100k or 50k potentiometers which we have plenty of and sell to folks who want to DIY a simple pot-in-a... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @mitch2 your last bullet point is very relevant. We have amplifiers in use by customers that are now at their oldest over 40 and at their youngest nearing 30 years of age. We have seen similar issues with an input circuit board that over the years... | |
| Audio Note Speaker Kits No cabinets with that kit on eBay but it's possible Brian at ANK could provide a set or build your own. I was in the same position as the OP some months back. I was ready to purchase a kit from ANK when I was informed that the cabinets were availa... | |
| Fritz Carrera or other possibilities! Fritz Speakers are under rated and under priced in my opinion. I have done a number of audio shows with Fritz and his speakers image extremely well and have a very smooth load making them compatible with many amplifiers, including a 300B SET ampli... |
