| 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... | |
| Vantage Cables From U. K . Very impressive Hi Ozzy: I have two different models of Vantage PC's that I am running in right now for audition (should have some results in 4-5 weeks). Guess the "buzz" involves skipping across "the pond" if you are here in the US as myself. These are silver ca... | |
| Looking for warmth,openess, detail Johhny: You do not mention budget, but take a look at the OTA thread (do a search of "Sakura" and/or "OTA"). The kit will wire your entire system (speaker cables and IC's) for $600 and you should have enough cable left over for future configuratio... | |
| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? David: You failed to mention that it is the X-Files division hot on your trail (for drilling holes and placing sand in your tube preamp:-). | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling I list here because I like the page design, it's easy to include a photo in the ad and also because I am familiar with the drill. I may try AA next, though, both out of curiosity and because they have gone to the trouble of recently including clas... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Crap: I rewired the TT again today and am getting a low level hum in "both" channels (it was very silent before). I will completely redo it in a couple of weeks if I cannot trace it to a bad joint (hope that I did not screw up the tone arm cables,... |
