| Buy tubes from Audio Research or not Taters, you've got the Audio Research VT-100 mkIII right? ARC wants $720 for 4 matched pairs of 6550C's, but you can get the same quality of tubes with the same level of consistency and reliability from Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio at anywhere from... | |
| SS. amp. for vandersteen 3A-signatures Hasn't Vandy been traditionally mated with Audio Research?My brother drives his 3A Sigs with an AR 100.2 solid state amp and loves it. The only thing he'd say he might do is add another at some point.But, I see ARC has the SD & HD series SS am... | |
| Scheu Table - Need some help.... anyone with time Please post a picture.The only Scheu I can think of that comes near that description was a black granite or slate version of Das Laufwerk that was offered a year or two ago. At least I think I think they offered that option on the Scheu website. | |
| Review: Bent Audio Tap Linestage Oshag, how does the TAP directly compare to the Messenger?Are there significant differences in their musical presentation? | |
| Dali Megalines - SE amps? I owned the 6wpc AA PX-25 and it was amazing. Their amps are beautiful, built like tanks, and the customer support is superb. Give Joe Fratus a call, he loves talking audio and isn't the "hard sell" type. | |
| which tube amp to try??? 100+ wpc for under ~$1,500?Might want to look at the used Manley M-120's or VTL Compact 100, mb-125, or Delux 300 monoblocks for sale here. | |
| SET owners, need help with Rectifier tube Definitely check with the manufacturer first.And I second the Kevin Deal recommendation. I needed new GZ37 rectifiers for my Art Audio PX-25 and he delivered the goods. You get exactly what's advertised(no fakes or failures) with him and he stands... | |
| Upgrade or repair Museatex products I'm another John Wright upgraded Museatex owner (Bitstream & CDD). Last time I checked with him(1-2 years ago), he did not have any more parts to service the Museatex cd players. Instead, he recommended a used Theta Pearl as a low-cost alterna... | |
| Suggestions for a Pre-Amp for Welborne 300B DRDs Hi Dkalsi,I really think you should buy the factory-assembled Django that's for sale here for 1/3 the price. With the one you are considering, you are essentially paying the price of a brand new, factory-assembled, unit for used one which may, or ... | |
| Suggestions for a Pre-Amp for Welborne 300B DRDs $1,200? Well, that depends....You can buy a brand new Django TVC(factory assembled) from DiyHiFi for ~$1,185+shipping/insurance. Was the one you are considering a kit or factory assembled? Does it have the "ultra-refined" silver wiring and silver ... | |
| Suggestions for a Pre-Amp for Welborne 300B DRDs I used Stevens & Billington TVC's that I got from DiyHiFi Supply with my DRD 300B's and it was a phenomenal match with my upgraded Museatex Bitstream DAC(4V output) and 97dB Cain&Cain IM-Bens. The only problem I had was using low output MC... | |
| John Potis - Rest in peace I can only echo what Mapman & Karelfd have said. I also emailed Jon on a whim with audio related questions and what followed was a few kind,in-depth, responses from a man who had nothing gain from taking the time to help educate a newcomer to ... | |
| Review: Soundsmith SG-410 Strain Gauge Cartridge Cartridge And of course, the concept of "absolutely correct RIAA equalisation" is completely non-sequitur to an amplitude-sensitive cartridge . . . and this has ALWAYS been the case . . . we've just all forgotten.So to the question of, "does the Strain Gaug... | |
| Class A Amp LedinhhienAny recommendation for class A Amp which can drive the 2.8Ohm speaker and put out about 400-600W Man, that amp is gonna be BIG....really, really, BIG (VW Bug sized) and be able to roast whole pigs over it at the height of a Arctic blizzard. | |
| which tube mono blocks? 11-25-08: Gallant_divaOut of all the amps I have owned or listened, nothing compares to Tube Research Labs GT-400 or GT-800. These amps stand head and shoulder above anything else in terms of transparency, details, delicacy, balance, control, powe... |
