| What is the characteristic of diff. Triode Tubes? Ake: There are triode "power" tubes other than the 2A3 amd 300B such as 45's and 50's (quite a few more as well).Yes, triodes can be configured as either (SE or push/pull).For more info on tubes and their applications read the article @ this web a... | |
| Is it too mismatched to pair Maggie 1.6 & NAD 370? A good amp to research is the (now discontinued) Anthem Integrated II. It retailed for $1700US, but often sells for $800 or so used (perhaps you could even locate a new one for around $1K)? This has more than enough drive for the 1.6's (based on m... | |
| Internal Speaker Rewiring Mot: I have been having good results with Kester 63/37 solder (mine is labeled organic core - whatever that is). A friend has noted that the Wonder solder is very easy to work with (quick joints with a 35 watt iron). The best thing to do (regardle... | |
| Need help with Quad ESL63/Gradient El: Here are a couple of sites/guys to try.http://home.pacbell.net/drquad/http://www.quadesl.com/index.shtmlDon't know much about them (the sites were stored on our "favorites" and I have not gotten around to going through them yet). | |
| What's everybody listening to this evening? We listened to an LP box set entitled "Folk Song and Minstrelsy" issued by the Vanguard book-of-the-month-club in perhaps the 60's. Artists/groups are: Leon Bibb, The Deller Consort, Ronnie Gilbert, Odetta, Cisco Houston, The Weavers, Joan Baez, J... | |
| Where can I purchase big band lp's? Update on the Time-Life box sets is that I visited a local thrift yesterday and the ones that they had (a 6 box set with 3 LP's per box) were not performed by the original artists (two local California Big Bands did the covers). This is not the sa... | |
| Where can I purchase big band lp's? Time-Life produced a 5 box set (The Swing Era) that would be a good start/basis for your collection. | |
| Songs that you just have to sing "Ghost Riders in the Sky". Now only if my voice was a manly as Miss Peggy Lee's. | |
| thorens 160 Jon: Yes, looks like this is the case. Any luck on a replacement motor? Also what about the person/party that sold you the TT (are they taking any responsibility for the damage)? Still can't imagine how this type of damage would occur during trans... | |
| Integrated Amp for Girlfriend? Outliar: What speakers will she be using? Based on this I might be able to make a few integrated tube amp suggestions. Also what is the price of the CS (it is quite attractive as is other BC gear). | |
| New Lowther Drivers. Albert: I had the pleasure of attending a local "single driver" get together a few weeks back (hosted by Thor over @ the single driver website). I arrived rather late and did not get to listen to everything, but the overall coherency of sound of t... | |
| thorens 160 Jon: Are you certain that the shaft is bent? Not to doubt you, but I get the impression that you are new to TT's and I have never seen this happen before.If it is, then I think that you are correct (a motor replacement is in order). If you already... | |
| New Lowther Drivers. TWL: Had I suspected this of you earlier on last week, I would have picked up and shipped, gratis, a few dozen sound effects LP's that I stumbled across @ a local thrift (many still sealed), just to get on your good side (may need some help/ good ... | |
| Are you Elegant, Stylish and Obsessive? How about one of the hanging rack systems used by most dry cleaners? It would be an unusual industrial statement and could be affixed to the upper walls and ceilings of your "pad" while being aimed to gracefully slope, within hand's reach, @ your ... | |
| New Lowther Drivers. TWL:Here are a couple of chat rooms which may be of help:http://f18.parsimony.net/forum31999/http://members.aol.com/cycarpio/home.htm (BBS portion)The second site is mainly in Japanese, but I had no problem asking and receiving info in English (Zu... |
