| smaller speakers for critical listening? The new Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3's should be on your short list. | |
| Tung Sol KT 170 Here's hoping a few things will apply..1) They do not need a revised transformer design, as the KT150's required 2) they are reliable and consistent and 3) they don't give off too much heat! | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @mijostyn I think you are referring to the Acoustat 6's when you say 3+3...is that right? I had a friend who used to own the Acoustat 8's. They were huge! Required an extremely large room, which he had, and were not that easy to drive. I thought ... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @katylied I know a number of dealers who are now refusing to stock or sell the Onzow cleaner. I’m pretty sure the horror stories with the Onzow result from what you say...user error. I use one on my Lyra, along with the Last Stylast, and both do ... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension @mijostyn Your photo of the cantilever tells the whole story. It seems clear that there was an incorrect gluing of the stylus to the cantilever. A clear manufacturing defect, IMHO. This is something that the manufacturer should make right for you... | |
| Chasing down the problem @gdnrbob. Thank you for the vote of confidence. Luckily, the issue has seemingly been resolved with the preamp. I recently rolled in NOS Telefunken 12AX7 smooth plates and Amperex 6922 PQ's into the phono stage, a very nice addition. The CAT reall... | |
| Diamond Stylus Enters the 4th Dimension Sounds like the glue holding the stylus to the cantilever let go. One question, did you use one of the Onzow type bubble cleaners with this cartridge? They have been known to eat cantilevers and stylus, although with the proper handling protocols,... | |
| Telefunken vacuum tube E88CC-TK; NOS versus brand new. I recently rolled in a number of different NOS tubes to compare to the stock EH's that came in my amp and the stock Sovtek's that came in my preamp. The tubes include NOS Amperex PQ's, NOS Silvania Gold Brand, NOS Telefunken Smooth and Ribbed plat... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? @samhvcc The JA80 Mk2 is going to give you more power and therefore headroom than the JA30Mk2. It is going to be a much better match to your Sony's. As to whether it will sound better, on your speakers ..yes. However, if one can utilize the lowe... | |
| Esoteric DV60 To bump this thread, I own a DV60, for listening to music it is absolutely incredible. The Redbook section easily beat a friends Marantz SA11 S2 in an AB. The DV60 is getting a raw deal on this thread, particularly when it comes to music productio... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @jond I actually do a seasonal amp rotation, the tube amps for the winter and mostly the ss amp for the summer. Even so, the ss amp heats the room enough within about 1.5 hours that it is time for the AC. Swapping out the KT150's for El34's may b... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- In my room, even an amp that puts out just a little heat, over time heats up the room considerably. I already own a couple of amps that put out just a little heat ( one a ss amp, one a tube amp). I also have AC, and in the summer, this is required... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @atmasphere Punching holes in walls or floors is not an option. My dedicated room is a stand alone structure on a concrete slab. No basement. | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @jaytor Isn't the Purifi module a Class D module? I'm not really interested in a Class D amp, mainly due to the fact that all of the Class D amps i have heard are too sterile sounding to my ears. Even the 'best of class' Jeff Rowland models. | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! @mheinze I wouldn't know, how did you get banned from audio forums?Perhaps you were trying to provoke arguments? --;0) |
