| I can't believe I found one What's the effective mass of the tonearm? DeKay | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? I've allowed (from A'Gon ads) a lawyer, a Junior High School teacher and a movie writer/director into our home and I'm still here to tell the stories. The movie director should still be in the spare closet (haven't checked for over a decade now).... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? I know a few CD's who are into Vinyl. DeKay | |
| I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl. The only one of interest to me (@ Target) is sold out. Perhaps I'll compensate by purchasing a new pair of Pleather Trousers. DeKay | |
| Is AI going to kill Hifi? Personally I would really, really, really like to see more of the REAL thing in these disappointing/stain on humanity times. DeKay | |
| I got to get me some of this tiny vinyl. FYI: Tiny Vinyl is a gateway to English Leather and DOG forbid Canoe-Canoe. Be safe out there. DeKay | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Wow, I just looked at a video showing how to bias the Cronus III and did not realize that it was so easy. I assumed that you needed to use a multimeter and probes. DeKay | |
| Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage? Have the person join Audiogon and post a cable review as a precondition of the sale. We'll check them out/pick them to peices. DeKay | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Also, have you tried a lower bias setting on the power tubes you are using? Doing so (within reason) may move you further towards the sound you are seeking. Try it for free before shopping for alternative signal/power tubes. DeKay PS: I... | |
| Cronus Magnum II Buzz I would start by pulling and then reinserting all of the tubes and cables connected to the amp (including the power cord on both ends). Doing so will help clean the contacts they are making. Do so when the amp and source gear is off/cold. Sound... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll No, leave the GE 12ax7's as they should be good and long lasting. The single (center?) 12au7 is the one I would experiment with as it should have the most affect on sound and then perhaps experiment with the 2 12au7 drivers if not satisfied. I ... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll lewm: Yes, two 12au7’s are used to drive the power tubes and the two 12ax7’s are phase splitters (I think?). The 3rd 12au7 would be the one to roll to something warmer/fuller sounding like Mullard or Amperex (just avoid later Amperex 12au7’s wi... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Work on the signal tubes first. The old production 12au7's you picked are on the bright/lean side per my experience. The GE 12ax7's should be OK if they are drivers. DeKay | |
| Decent backup cartridge Consider replacing the Red stylus with a Blue stylus for under $150. DeKay | |
| Audio Research SP9 MKI tweaks If you haven't already have your tech replace the electrolytic's (if any) in the power supply for reliability Aside from that research the coupling caps (.47uf 425V) if you want something different (fatter/richer?) sounding than the old Wonder Ca... |
