| Chasing down the problem Thanks again, Ralph. This is pretty much what my tech did when he received the preamp, except he did remove the top and sprayed from behind onto the offending switch. Seems to have solved the issue. When i told Ken that is what was the issue, he w... | |
| Chasing down the problem @atmasphere Thanks Ralph. I did exactly as you recommended and followed this protocol. This is what ultimately lead me to the preamp, but in my case, since the issue was intermittent, and for some reason did not happen to show up when I changed am... | |
| Chasing down the problem @mijostyn If you read the thread, you would see that the Nordost cable was not at fault! Good thing I did not get my soldering iron out...... | |
| Audio Research preamps EXCESSIVE OPERATING COSTS Considering a tube product..basically of any kind, that will be left on 100% of the time and utilized for HT is NOT a great idea, IMHO. To then question the fact that the tubes will age more rapidly than if one where to use a ss piece, seems a lit... | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- Thanks guys, but like I stated in my OP, I dont want to consider Class D amps, at this time. @atmasphere curious as to what you would suggest in Class D that rivals tubes for smoothness and detail, I can only think of one amp that this may apply ... | |
| Tung Sol KT 170 I looked again at the spec sheet that was linked. What's up with all of the redacting?? | |
| Are there any tube amps that don't give off any--- @isochronism Good to know. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? @cleeds I agree with this 100%.Interestingly, in the tube re-seller world, there seems to be a propensity to label tubes as NOS. These very tubes are in fact used and measure as if new. I guess if one questions how many tubes from the 1950’s -1970... | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Many of these tubes are what are considered 'pulls'. IOW, they are tubes that have been used for years in some piece of gear and have been removed to now be sold as NOS tubes. Nothing wrong with this IMO, so long as the tube is tested and correctl... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment @tomic601 I don't think the Kleos has a Lambda option...yet. | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment Luckily, you are dealing with a company that has been around for awhile and that stands behind its products. I bought my Kleos new from a Lyra dealer, which turned out to be a very good thing as warranty service was required. | |
| SF Cremonese Q @keithr Keith, you say the Il Cremonese is preferable to the Wilson, Magico, Rockport, etc., which models are you referring to?The new Wilson Sasha DAW with the right amplification is pretty good...and apparently so is the new Magico A5, although ... | |
| SF Cremonese Q @asa Another option for a larger room would be a new pair of Franco Serblin Ktema's. They don't get a lot of press in the US, but are an excellent speaker. | |
| Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state? Tubes are like taking care of a small child, they give you wonderful moments but need a lot of care.If you want the best SQ, IME, it is still going to come from tube gear, unless you spend the very big $$ and go for top ss. OTOH, if you want great... | |
| Opinions wanted on cantilever alignment The cantilever should not look like that. I had an exact same issue and it was corrected by Lyra after a trip to Japan. I noticed this misalignment after just a few minutes on my tonearm. My dealer was behind me 100% and the folks at Audioquest we... |
