| Speaker suggestions wanted What does the rest of your set consist of? This might bring on more informed/better suggestions. Also what type of music do you listen to (is there a main interest)? | |
| Your next state-of-the art speaker s ??? :- Yes, I have heard that the sound is absolutly stunning when they are attached to 4' tall vases from the Ming Dyansty and/or similar sized chunks of rare moon rock. | |
| Any Chinese audiophiles? I know one, but he doesn't speak Chinese. I have a few friends who do, but they are neither Chinese nor involved in this hobby (so never mind:-). | |
| Quality bulk speaker cable? Jeff: Pick up some packages of Radio Shack magnet wire ($3.99 each). Three spools come in a pack which are 22, 26 and 30 gage. I would try the 26 and/or 22 gage to see how your speakers react to being bi-wired (you could also try using the magnet ... | |
| Is a dac better than an new cd palyer? SACD players can accept an external DAC for standard CD playback (all that I am aware of anyway), so the DAC will not become obsolete in this sense. Just be certain that this holds true of the model you select. If your changer has a coaxial/digita... | |
| What's the best amp s for Lowther drivers? Go here:http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/HUG/bbs.htmlAlso check out the SET Asylum.What you are also looking for is a very "quiet" amp (due to the stated efficiency of your speakers) and 3 watts per channel should be plenty of power. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Slawney: Just had a thought. Think that I will try a tiny "screw" barrier strip to trouble shoot the TT wiring. Might just leave it in (if I figure out the problem) as it will make it easier to try out different DIY IC configurations. | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Guess I would go with "Multi-Folk" as well, like Kelly. Afterall this is the basis for most music anyway. | |
| 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). |
