| South By Southwest? Thanks guys, it sounds like it has become to big and commercial. That seems true of many succssful projects. I will rethink my plans | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages John, I must contact Kevin, it seems there may be new upgrades I could take advantage of. The last one must be 2 and a half years ago, which bought me close to the maxed out. | |
| K&K Pre amplifier I did'nt make it, I bought it on E-bay from a guy in Hungary. A bit of a risk, but it payed off. It cost me £900, which is less than the cost of the S and B transformers, so it was a bargain. It would certainly be cheaper than buying a Music Firs... | |
| K&K Pre amplifier Just my impression about the ARC Ref 3, Shakey and that was in comparison with the Passive Pre. I had a CJ Premier 17 about 10 years ago, a lovely piece of kit. Thanks for the information about Shindo, I have heard them, but they are hard to find ... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Some really interesting suggestions. I have found so much good music by following up threads in the music section. It does interest me, that an in an "interconnected world"", there is so much North American music, I simply have never heard of, I c... | |
| Zesto vs K & K phono stages Another vote for K&K and the support Kevin gives to his customers. My phono stage is about 7 years aold and has given no maintenance problems, ever. I have upgraded twice, the last time to near the current Maxxed out stage. I believe older mod... | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please Thanks Atmasphere, I did realise I would need balanced outs. The Audio Horizon does offer that as an option. | |
| K&K Pre amplifier Thanks to both of you. My suspicion was that the passive was going to be hard to beat. The very well thought of ARC ref 3, sounded thick and congested in comparison to the passive. It was just a whim I had really. I would still like to get a reall... | |
| Have your standards/taste in music changed? The main affect of an interest in Audio is to bring me to artists and labels I would never have heard of any other way. One of the reasons I go to shows is to pick up on new artists(to me that is). Two labels in particular, ECM and stockfisch, hav... | |
| Help picking a tube preamp, please I am on a similar hunt, looking to change my Music First Baby reference passive, into an Audio Research Ref 75 power amp. I say looking, because I think the Passive will take some beating. I don't particularly like the Arc reference 3 pre, cetainl... | |
| New KT150 tubes? Well the KT150's have landed and are in my Reference 75. No sparks, explosions or other calamity, oh and they sound pretty good too. Right off the bat, I would describe a tight deep base and a deeper soundstage as initial, favourable impressions. ... | |
| Fritz Carbon 7 and tube amp? I bought a pair for my son and Fritz said that 100watts was about the right territory to drive his speakers optimally. That really pushes you towards SS, if you don't want to break the bank, not that the speakers would shame a more expensive tube ... | |
| New KT150 tubes? I have heard from a number of people using KT150's in their ARC reference 75. The only problem is that the tube is taller, so the top of the amp can not be refitted. This does not apply to the 150 or other amps in the ARC line. I have ordered a qu... | |
| New KT150 tubes? I had an E-mail from someone who went to RMAF and noted an ARC ref 75, tubed with KT150's. I contacted the manufacturer, whom I won't name, but is a well respected US company. He kindly replied saying the KT150's are a straight swap with the same ... | |
| Jazz In A Woody Allen Movie: "Fading Gigolo" I just loved the film, not a classic high art piece, but very well written and acted, with an underlying melancholy to it. All the actors, particularly John Turturro, were very good. I agree it could be a Woody Allen film, but I don't care who mad... |
