| To all LP12 aficionados Radikal, then new arm, then Kandid. | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? Listen to a CAT preamp and you won't think of the ARC REF 5 SE again. | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? Matthew, could you tell us the size/shape of your room...and whether you plan on using room acoustic treatments. The room size/shape is very important in deciding on a particular speaker. | |
| Ringing from the tweeter Actusreus, your problem is most likely stemming from your tube preamp. I noticed with my CAT ( tubed preamp) that depending on the tube, there can be noise from the tweeter IF the tube is at all microphonic. Just because you acquired new tubes, un... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP I own a very late 80's Linn plinth...that's all that is left of my original table. To that I have added a Cirkus/Kore and a Radikal D power supply, a Tramp 2 base and new springs, etc. The arm is a custom WTA Black arm with VDH internal wiring. I ... | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 Mitch, that's what's nice about the ever ending upwards curve of new product introductions. There will be some great gear coming on the used market and at far more palatable pricing. I picked up my ARC D70Mk2 for a literal steal after it was place... | |
| The New Audio Research Reference 6 I don't think ARC is the only company to benefit from this strategy. After all, when was the last time that you heard a company release of a new product advertisement that went like this: "Our latest preamp is unfortunately a step back from our la... | |
| Tubes and their problems +1 Mapman. Tubes are great when they work well, and a real PITA when they don't.Luckily, they seem to work well most of the time. | |
| Tubes and their problems Rodman99999, that's a hoot. LOL. | |
| Tubes and their problems PHd, I actually was referring to Al jazeera...lol..although that might not be the station, it could have been anything for all I know!Anyhow, I am going to get a handle on which is the offending tube and replace it. | |
| Tubes and their problems Actually the tubes that are making the noise are ( I think ) in my preamp. One of them lets me listen to the Al-Jareera radio station when the gain is turned up! Interestingly, they are not that old, probably have only a few hundred hours on them,... | |
| Sonus faber Amatis vs guarneries anybody opinions? Agree with french fries. The GH's do produce bass down to about 45hz., the GE's will go down to about 40Hz. In order to get a fuller sound in the bottom end, you will need a subwoofer with any of the G's. As to the Amati's, I don't think they imag... | |
| Tubes and their problems Thanks, Newbee. What is the procedure for retensioning the tube sockets? | |
| Koetsu Stone Body vs Urushi/RSP Does anybody know if the motor and the other internal parts are any different from Koetsu to Koetsu? Or, is it the body only that is accounting for the difference in price of these cartridges? | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Thanks again Al. As soon as the amp comes back from the factory, I will connect the sub as suggested. Appreciate all the help. |
