| Mods for DYNA ST-70, What do you think?? I did the soundvalves mod ($99 many years ago), with great results....more detail, etc. I also replaced the selenium rectifier, beefed up the power supply with more caps, and parallelled all electrolytics with small value Wonder Caps (you would us... | |
| Re: Remember 'Mayware' uni-pivot tonearms? VPI and Morch also make unipivots | |
| Spkr Cable for Martin Logan SL3s Definitely bi-wire; made a huge difference in my case. I'm using 6' double runs of Cardas Neutral Reference with my SL3's, with great results. | |
| Cal Audio Sigma 2 with Elite PD-65? I too have the Sigma 2 without the upgrade, and before I got my Cal Delta, used it with a Teac CD player. The improvement was dramatic.Miami_a1a: what digital cable do you use ? I use a Cardas Lightning, and sometimes wish I had something a bit me... | |
| Klyne Preamp ? Do you guys remember the Klyne SK2A ? It was a great head amp. I always regretted not buying it. Then, after looking for one for years, I spotted one on Audiogon. I agreed with the seller on a price, then he would not return my emails or calls - I... | |
| Spade to Bananas for B W Speakers Monster makes a spade to banada adapter called the X-Terminator. The banana part is expandable; once it is inserted and screwed in, you cannot pull it out - a really firm contact. Audio Advisor carries it. | |

| "Saudage" and the music of Brazil. Virginia Rodrigues is amazing. Try especially track 3 of "Nos" | |
| The best CD Player for the money I have to agree with Vegasears - CAL stuff. I have the Delta/Sigma II. It's not the last word in detail, but it does not make my ears bleed the way some other CD players do. Alternately (much better !) get a good turntable | |
| Any good suggestions for phono cable? Kentchai: skip the upgrade to MK III and go directly to MKIV, if you can afford...huge difference. | |
| Best 6DJ8 for ARC SP11,mk11? Check the identical posting several lines below | |
| Help Preamp Hum Why don't you take off the cover and make sure that the screws holding the transformer down are tight. Of course, please make sure that you first unplug the unit. This is just a suggestion...I take no responsibility for any shocking experiences !!! | |
| best 6dj8 tubes for AR sp9mkII??? I recently bought a couple of Gold Aero Platinum Grade Gold Pin 7308's, made in Germany (probably by Siemens) from Stereo Unlimited is San Diego (619-223-8151) for $35 each. They sound really good in my SP9 MkII. You could also try Valvo 6DJ8's, i... |
