| Power Conditioner to the rescue Hi allI've just inserted the Eclipse II into my system, replacing a PS P300. What can I say, my jaw dropped and I'm still on cloud nine and this is only the first 12 hours of play. | |
| Maple or Granite For those who tried just granite alone and found it unfavourable, it really depends on the TT design. Some TT already have some sort of absorption/deflection designed into the TT's footers. You really have to see the total package.Granite on its o... | |
| searching balanced Tube preamp with....... How about the ModWright LS 36.5, output impedence of 110 ohms?http://www.modwright.com/products/index.php?product_id=26 | |
| Maple or Granite Agree with Dgarretson, except with the Maple on top, granite below. | |
| Replacement tubes for 5687 Any one with experience with the GE 5687? How do these sound? | |
| Replacement tubes for 5687 Thanks for the inputs. I'm curious as to would you all consider all these alternatives as definite upgrades against the stock Philips, or just "alternative points of view"?Irish65Why do you prefer the Holland Amperex over the Philips 7119? Aren't ... | |
| Replacement tubes for 5687 Hi allThanks for the link. If I were to summarise that thread, it would be something like:Philips JAN 5687: stock.TungSol 5687: better than stock(?) but dry/lean.GE JAN 7044: good mids, less grain and less bass impact.Sylvania GB 5687: tube sound,... | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Ghosthouse"Anyone using ICs from JPS Labs? Have a Superconductor FX between TT & Amp. Have 2 pair of Ultraconductors between CDP/Tube Buffer/Amp and would like to upgrade. The Super is better than the Ultra. I've got a very modest budget...so ... | |
| Headphone Recommendations InpepinnovationsThe standard version of the DT770 is 250ohms, but you can order a 32ohm version.http://www.beyerdynamic.com/cms/Premiumline.105.0.html?&L=1&tx_sbproductdatabase_pi1[showUid][showUID]=173&tx_sbproductdatabase_pi1[showUid... | |
| Benchmark to amp direct question? AudioengrHave you actually tried to listen to both outputs before concluding that they are the same?I ask this because one of the users who reportedly heard the improvement used adaptors on the XLR output to drive his amp and he heard a drastic im... | |
| Headphone Recommendations His requirements are:a) closed cansb) no amp = low impedence <100ohmsc) high resolution, good bassThere are only a few that qualify. Good ones would be the Beyer DT 770 (32ohm), Audio Technica ATH-A900 (32 ohm) and AKG K271 Studio (55ohm).Each ... | |
| Benchmark to amp direct question? Adasilva, definitely worth getting adaptors. If you listen to digital only, you have all to gain and nothing to lose. I'd even go so far to say that it compares favourably with SACD and good analog. | |
| Benchmark to amp direct question? SteveI'm not technically inclined, just a bit of tech knowledge, so I can't tell what's really balanced or not, but I do know this, the Benchmark's XLR outputs are a quantum leap over the RCA. Something which 2 others I know have heard, and confir... | |
| Benchmark to amp direct question? Hi SakiWell certainly the impedence of the balanced outputs match my amp's input. Actually with the Benchmark, its a simple case of turning the attenuator pots down to use the RCA outs, but then you won't be able to enjoy the superior sound the ba... | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? Right now my threshold of pain/sanity is $400/m pair for Slinkylinks silver XLR. My other purchase was the RS Silver cable 2m which I got for about $200/pair.How to convince the wife, I don't tell her, just say "Listen honey, it sounds better now"... |
