Question for Marantz 22XX Receiver Owners I have both a 2220b and 2265b. The stereo light only comes on when tuned to an fm stereo signal. | |
dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first Tommy 583, that is a great description of the sed winged c in my amp also.IF I had tone controls on my preamp(good gear does not use them so I have none) the winged c's would be like turning the treble adjustment all the way down..... dull and lif... | |
Lost that "Tube Magic". Can you help? Eyediver, I will second the suggestion that you should contact Will Vincent.If you still have your dyn's, one of Will's st 70's will give you some great tube magic you are looking for.I don't know what you would be using for a preamp, but maybe if... | |
dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first I will agree that *most* st 70's will bias 6l6 or kt66 tubes properly, but some will not without a resistor change in the circuit.My amp has new much higher quality bias pots with a wider adjustment range than stock.... some stock bias pots may no... | |
dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first Just to follow up on the system synergy part of my previous post... I have a pair of klipsch heresy's with new crossovers and also a pair of klipsch kg4's.I have set up both speakers in my system and did not like the sound.I have a bryston 3bst am... | |
dynaco st 70 what tubes to replace first I have a Will Vincent rebuilt st 70. It is able to use 6L6, kt66, EL34, or KT77 tubes.The amp came from Will with jj kt77 tubes and it sounds incredible with those. I have since tried gold lion kt66( they sound very good but with slightly less 3d ... | |
EL34 in Cary CAD120S bias info needed Plato, you say that your 120s is on its way to cary for service .... just curious... is there a problem with the amp or are you having upgrades done? | |
Quad 11L owners only, please list the amplifier... Wow this post was from 2005....I have original 11L's and have used a marantz 2220b reciever, a marantz 2265b reciever, a sansui au 517 amp, a bryston 3b st, and a nicely upgraded dynaco st 70.The dynaco st 70 wins hands down in sound quality on th... | |
Cary 120s Thanks Brf and everyune else who responded. I think I am leaning toward the rocket 88 and will go with some good nos driver tubes and think about some high quality cap upgrades.I went through a 2 year electronic trade school course about 25 years ... | |
Cary 120s so the cardas and mundorf cap upgrades have different sound characteristics..... Can you describe the differences?Also on the nos tubes what have you found that works well in a rocket88 ?Thanks Dave | |
Cary 120s There is lots of good info here, thanks guys...Even used, around $2.1k + is at the very upper end of my budget.Maybe a rocket 88 at sub $1k pricepoint might be a nice intro into Cary products for me.If I like the 88,I could always sell it and upgr... | |
Cary 120s Thanks for the input. I know the 120s uses 8 kt88 output tubes and could cost a little to retube.Does anyone know what the average hours on a set of output tubes in one of these amps should be?I am using a classe audio dr6 ss preamp with balanced ... | |
Cary rocket 88 vs dynaco st70 The dynaco amp is a completely rebuilt unit from a reputable audiogoner that has several st 70's currently offered now.Every part is new and upgraded in the st 70.... a brand new stock driver board.... all new caps, resistors, tube sockets, etc. T... | |
Classe DR-5 & Threshold S/300 Synergy I am using a classe dr6 with the outboard power supply.I have paired it with a bryston 3bst and it had a lot of detail but seemed kind of "dry" sounding and not very musical.I am currently running a modded dynaco st70 with the dr6 and along with a... | |
Bookshelf Speaker question I use a pair of quad 11L monitors in a 10' x 10' listening room. I am only running a modded dynaco st 70 (35 watts per channel) and the system has excellent soundstage and musicality.There is also plenty of bass in a small room.The quads are rated... |
