| does anyone know about Kaylin tube amps? Kona: I have never heard the amps, just read about them @ Audioasylum, plus there were some pics posted @ the site as well. There is an Ebay dealer (close to me in LA) that has been selling various models for a year or so now, but again I have nev... | |
| Do "Cardas Caps" make a difference? I made up shorted RCA's (guess these are shunts) for the unused inputs on my Radio Shack battery powered phono preamps (two used as dual mono's, thus unused inputs/outputs on each unit) and soldered 100 ohm resistors across RCA terminals and place... | |
| Are you an Audiophile or a Music Lover: Take 3 I could really use a TT that plays 78's, older mono LP's, modern mono LP's and stereo LP's properly. Guess this would have to be it and it might require two mounted arms (one for 78's) as well as switchable head shells for the other cartridges. Wo... | |
| Svetlana 6N1P in new ARC VS55 Rlennan: Richardson purchased the Amperex trademark years ago and can relabel anything they wish as "Amperex". They have received quite a bit of flack about this in the audio chatrooms, but since they own the name/trademark, they can do as they li... | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? Ben: Kind of a twisted study, IMO, as I constantly purchase software, but am not keen on 2002+ and/or most musical releases done after the mid 80's or so. Today alone I purchased fourteen LP's, eight 78's (and an alpaca blanket:-) and this sort of... | |
| does anyone know about Kaylin tube amps? There is some info on these @ audioasylum.com in the Tube Forum (try a search there). They are of Chinese manufacture and the cosmetics of some of the "K" models look "very" much like those of Jolida and ASL (though some of the internals may diffe... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC Austinaa: Are you a Musical Fidelity (as well as a Martin Logan) dealer? If so, this would also be useful information (in addition to your above post). | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Hi Slawney:The OTA phono cables worked fine before, I just messed up a connection and/or an internal tonearm cable. The tonearm cable should really be replaced anyway (it is pushing 25+ years old). We are talking a $100 TT here (Thorens TD165) so ... | |
| Best bookcase speakers for classical music Reynaud Twins and Trentes are two models to look at (I own the Twins). Harbeth owner's would certainly recommed the Compact 7's. Both are considered to be super for your musical preferences. All of these models need to be stand mounted (not placed... | |
| Rogue Owners Unite Buckingham: E80CC is not a direct replacement for 12AU7. They often come up on Ebay offered by sellers in Europe. I am looking into modifying a Pilot 232 power amp to run one in place of it's 12AU7, hoping that it will flesh out the tone a bit (ma... | |
| Having a BC 2 gain increased at factory Paul: Does it sound good at 11:00? That's what really counts. Less ambitious volume pots can also have a "sweet" spot (or area)in which they sound better. You may want to run this by the manufacturer of your preamp as well as checking things out w... | |
| Old Dyna amp -- Worth Repairing?? Good advice, even though you remain "Clueless". BEWARE working on the amp yourself unless you do your homework as it contains "lethal" amps (even many weeks after being unplugged). Though Clueless remains so, he/she is far from, again good advice. | |
| Primer on horns Wow: Ezmaraldo, fascinating post (as always) and now onto the thread. Pete: Your space seems a bit small to optimize traditional horn systems unless you can place them near the short wall and be seated approx. 3', or so, from the opposing wall (mo... | |
| phono stage volume Phono preamps can require turning up the volume (over other sources). You might try making certain that the interconnects and other cables are tidy and "separated from one another" as much as possible in order to reduce the system's noise level an... | |
| Why doesn't Audiogon have some guidelines? Gary: I add "sale pending" until it is a done deal. For more popular items I have received emails following this update and always reiterate with individual emails, later on, confirming that the item has definately been sold. It's reasonable to pu... |
