| I need advice on Lowthers You are welcome Doc (and thanks to TWL as well). Please give an update if you try them. I purchased my wife a car today (one that we have been searching years for) and have also been off work for two years, so it looks like I will be putting this ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Excellent news: Thanks "B". | |
| I need advice on Lowthers Doc: If you plan on hanging onto the 3A's and budget is a consideration the Voight Pipes (as TWL mentions) might be a fun project (we discussed these off forum). I will probably use Fostex speakers due to budget. I realize that they (the pipes) ar... | |
| What are the benefits of a SET amp? It depends on the design of the amp and the system, but other than what Jfrech describes above there can be a 3D quality that I have yet to hear from non-SET amps (this includes good push/pull tube designs as well as SS amps running in Class "A". ... | |
| Who here mentioned Nimbus active platforms??? I did not do it. | |
| An unscientific poll: How often are you happy? 99% and would guess around $5K (new and used) in the current living room system. It sounded better before I downsized (lost a nice SET amp and a good DAC), but it still makes me happy. I do not concern myself with audiophile quality recordings (th... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit BWhite: Your system looks pretty good to me. Lamm and Syrah (yum yum:-). Albert tried a pair of my OTA IC's, quite some time ago, on a Sony 9000 player and felt that they lacked weight in comparison to his standard IC's. I did not have enough spar... | |
| Recommendations for satellite/hanging spkrs If he were to use only two Gallo Micros (and a sub) in a "huge" area I doubt that they would fill the room with music (I like these speakers though). The NHT Zero's are better I feel and can sound quite good with a sub, but require a lot of clean ... | |
| DG Recordings Aliu: Perhaps it depends on what other sound engineering feats one compares them to? I have some Audiophile LP's that make mince meat out of my regular LP's regarding sound quality, but what wins in the end is the music and the performance, I woul... | |
| Recommendations for a phono preamp for MMF5 In this price range also consider the Radio Shack 42-2111 battery powered phono preamp (retails for $25, but requires a charger and batteries to be practical). Out of stock @ RS, as far as I know, but an online dealer still sells them from a close... | |
| What are your thoughts of the Tower design of amps I have only seen one of these ("G" something, can't recall the exact name). Though this "upstanding" tube amp was directed/marketed towards the audiophile/budget group (per the press release) the specs seemed to be the same as a previous "horizont... | |
| Removing fine scratches on tt dustcover Here is another product: I have been meaning to pick up another bottle (ours is spent), but just never seem to make it down to the South Bay (below LA). It is: Seapower plastic polish, stock no. SPP-1. The manufacturer's info is: Seapower Marine P... | |
| 7308 tube code question Good question: I only have two out right now (just received them back from a friend) and they are etched VR5, *5D (also 518 on one and 535 on the other, towards the top). The white printing is: USN-CEP 7308, Made in U.S.A., Amperex and (65-35 on o... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Outlier: Ask Brulee. LOL. He replaced FIM with the OTA. | |
| Day amp arrives Cashier check returned Glen: Sounds like a bank screwup to me and hope all works out for both of you. We bank with Washington Mutual in CA and trust me the EE's @ my branch are clueless (including the manager). I worked for a large clearings bank and the Federal Reserve... |
