| CJ CAV-50 & Rega Planar 3/24 You could try a full function preamplifer with a phono stage (using the CAV-50 as a basic power amp, as none of the controls would be in circuit/functioning) but... all you need @ this point is a stand alone phono preamplifer to run through one of... | |
| CJ CAV-50 & Rega Planar 3/24 Yes, the "Phono/Aux" is a line level input.The front end is passive, as far as I recall, and if this is the case you will need a phono preamplifier with a bit more than average gain (<35dB) for a high output cartridge. | |
| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Yes, he was a simple (and a lonely) man, but all others pale in comparison to George Gobel.George, by the way, did endorse David Byrne to be his living successor. | |
| budget cart help Back again:Is the tonearm straight or curved/S-shaped? The deck originally came with one arm, but with the option of a straight or curved tone arm wand (think the S-wand added mass, but not certain).There was also a factory supplied moving coil ca... | |
| budget cart help What cartridge is mounted on the TT? It may be worth pursuing a replacement stylus, depending upon what it is. | |
| Power Cord for $50 or less? Look into the Iron Lung cable ($29).Iron Lung JellyfishShould mate well with your Jolida gear/Arro's. | |
| Recommend an integrated amp for my Harbeth 40.1's Take a look @ the newer Roksan integrated (<$2K) as reviewed by Sterophile.http://www.stereophile.com/integratedamps/roksan_kandy_k2_integrated_amplifier/Less expensive, but two pieces, would be a used Quad 99/909 combo (probably <$1.5K). | |
| Vintage Thorens turntable -Good or Bad? Thanks TD160 for offering pertinent info (unlike the "pissing in the punch bowl" response of Syntax).Yes, parts on the board may need replacing, but the OP lives in LA (as do I) and there should be local qualified tech's available.They (the caps) ... | |
| Vintage Thorens turntable -Good or Bad? It's a good deck. If it has the stock Thorens tonearm (TP16 MkII) it requires a high compliance/compliant cartridge, due to the lower mass (<8 grams I think).When setting it up look into redamping the springs as the foam sponges (located inside... | |
| This is no joke. Fpeel and NOISE:Get a grip on humanity and join the race.This is an audio forum, not a sadistic-freak-serial killer to be, or not to be forum.Read the news lately (people are being prosecuted, as they should, for abusing animals)?I find your comme... | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 PS: Experimenting with the internal switches and popping in new EH tubes may do the trick. I'd wait and see. | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 Only tried 7dj8's in the phono section (1983 Reflektor 6h23's were used in the line stage).The phono was more open/liquid sounding with 7dj8's VS 6h23's.Someone in the forums suggested this combo/placement.Try searching here and @ audioasylum to s... | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 Tomcy6:The Siemens 7dj8's were still going strong in my friends Mod 3A four years after we put them in the phono section.Philips (euro) 7dj8's are $50 each @ Upscale and per their ad copy they are fine for use in the AI 3. | |
| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 You could try older 6h23eb (the ones with the rocket logo) if they are still around. They are a bit softer sounding than the ones made @ Refektor (sp).I used Siemens 7dj8 in the phono section of a Mod 3a, but never tried them in the line section. ... | |
