| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? I'm actually talking about when the volume is turned up and no music is playing. IOW putting one's ear to the speakers without the CD or LP playing and at a typical volume level. The noise is then evident, which I would believe would lead to some ... | |
| Muse Model 18 with Hales Signature System Two Hans, I don't have the personality card for the Hales or own the Hales System 2 Sig's anymore. However, I would try and adjust the sub to x-over at about 75hz..as I recall the Hales dropped off severely below that. Do you have the round MB Quart t... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale This constant myth that the LP12 goes out of set-up easily just ain't so folks.I had my LP12 with Valhalla for nearly 20 years with no issues with regards to set-up. The TT does indeed need to be set-up correctly in the first place, BUT once that ... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Dctom, you might want to go out and listen to a top shelf LP12. The Radikal is a MAJOR upgrade over the older Lingo....particularly the older shoe box version.I also think the Kore or Keel sub chassis makes a nice improvement.To state that a 2004 ... | |
| upgrade from Audio Research SP6C Cyngus 859, IF you heard a correctly set up CAT SL1 you should have heard a MAJOR MAJOR jump in SQ over your SP6C. I had an SP8 in my system and I can tell you the CAT is in a whole different league. To really hear what the CAT can do, you have to... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Dctom states: "The LP12 has had its day. I had a couple over a 20 year period. It does need regular attention which is not difficult if you know what to do.IMO it is now outclassed by better designs."Which tells me that Dctom hasn't recently heard... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale I think the answer to the question has to do with what you touched on...they are NOT in vogue right now. One of the issues with LP12 ownership...good or bad, depending on your perspective; is the upgradability. While the older models are NOT that ... | |
| MY REVIEW: Merlin TSM MMM BME Bobby, now that many are coming round to the superb sound of the silk dome, it would seem that your thoughts on this older driver have been vindicated.I will look forward to your return. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have two...an original Jeff Rowland model 8 with choke and top mod and a ARC D70Mk2.The D70Mk2 is a superb tube amp IMHO...even though it is now about 27 years young! | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage I have heard both of these speakers. To me, the Strad's are in a different league than the Vandy 5's. BUT and this is a Biggie....they need a fairly powerful tube amp upstream. Feed them with ss and you won't hear what they can do. OTOH, the Vandy... | |
| subwoofer for music? Johnk have you actually ever seen or heard a REL? Sure doesn't seem like it based on your comment/post. | |
| Anyone tried the Lyra Kleos in a Linn EKOS SE? Just upgraded to a Radikal D and a Kore/Cirkus. I use a Benz Ruby 2...a Kleos or better still, a Skala would be my next upgrade. OTOH IF Benz were still in biz, I would go up their line. | |
| What happens when a tube amp fails? What happens when a tube amp fails....the repair tech rings his hands in glee. | |
| Anyone with experience on Linn's new sub chassis? Interesting coincidence Cto007,...I'm installing a Radikal at the same time as I'm putting in the new sub-chassis and in my case, the Cirkus bearing as well. Should be interesting to see how the TT compares to my old version with Valhalla and non-... | |
| Anyone with experience on Linn's new sub chassis? I'm in the process of having the new sub chassis installed. Will report back as to the findings once I have had a chance to listen. Not too many in the US yet. Gets great reviews in the UK press. |
