| Linn Ittok lvii Mk. II upgrade to Origin Live or ? I think matching most arms to the LP12 is very much a hit and miss biz. IMO, most of the super arms today aren't going to work on the table. Probably the best, if you can find one, is the Naim Aro. I would suspect that the OL's are going to be too... | |
| Jeff Rowland or Mark Levinson??? I've owned Jeff's model 8 with choke for about 20 years now and it still brings a smile to my face. VERY few ss amps can compete with it even today...20 years later! | |
| Tube or solid state for Sonus Faber Amati Homage Gomerpile1, I think that the SF Homage line likes tube amps with a little drive capability. My SF GH's are a match made in heaven with my ARC D70Mk2 tube amp. They are also great with my ss Rowland, but that amp has 250 watts/ch!I have heard the M... | |
| Jeff Rowland tour fascinates I've talked to Jeff on a few occasions, always a very interesting and pleasant conversation.IMO, he and his company is still at the pinnacle of audio. | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research Sabai, your'e nothing if not consistent...Like I said in the other thread: You always state your OPINION as a matter of fact that applies to all of us!Now your'e unloading on SR cables....I have NO affiliation with SR cables BUT sure find it inter... | |
| ARC's new REF-75 When I visited the ARC room with the REF 75 on Friday, I had the same basic impression as Keith. The amp was certainly not bad, OTOH it wasn't as great as I had expected. The mids seemed to me to be lacking in the midrange magic that my older D70M... | |
| 12AX7 preamp tube failure last night Hi Bill, I have a Vox Tonelab, which i think uses a similar circuit to your AD50VT and uses one 12ax7 tube. Vox uses the tube more as a tone control than anything else ( as a driver for example) in the circuit. I have rolled the tube with various ... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Good example of prices dropping after a Co. goes out of business are the Hales speakers that I used to own...Paul Hales closes up shop and the next day the speakers dropped in value by at least 70%! Same for numerous cable manufacturers that have ... | |
| REL T1 or T5? apples to oranges? Tigagig, I am using a T5 in my system and am very happy with it. It will need some tweaking and some patience to get it right, but once it's dialed in, I do think in a small-medium sized room it's a great piece.BTW, it will easily rattle your wind... | |
| SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino? Hl10027, There are several answers to your question. If you own an amp that is NOT an integrated amp, then you will need a control unit ( preamp) to drive the amp. Integrated amps are integrated because they include the amp and the preamp in one c... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, I actually have not owned the D70mk2 for more than about 18 months. However, I am pretty enamored of this amp and would recommend it to anyone thinking of a great mid powered tube amp. BTW, I have a feeling that Dick Olsher is into good... | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 Johnsonwu, good to see that you like your modded D115. I feel this way about my D70Mk2 and IMHO it's one of the best soundingARC amps. I have a feeling that this is why Dick Olsher bought one too!A stone cold classic! | |
| Jadis Da50S and Sonus Faber Acalex, I would think this would be a very good combo. Depending on the size of your room and how loud you like to listen. I drive my SF GH's with a 65 watt/ch Arc D70Mk2 and have no problem in my small room making the GH's sing. | |
| SS or Tube for Sonus Faber Concertino? IMO, a tube amp with a tube preamp would be my suggestion with the Concertino's.Depending on budget, a used ARC amp/preamp or the ARC tube integrated...the ARC VSi60. | |
| Thoughts on Audio Research D70 I was reading the new Absolute Sound today and noticed that Dick Olsher just acquired a D70Mk2.. He comments that the D70mk2 has "glorious midrange" in a review of the CJ mono amps. I totally agree with him in this statement. |
