| Best Preamp for under $1750.00 What is the name of the popular passive preamp that sells for around $1500.00? | |
| Gallo Nucleus Reference I don't own a pair, but am jealous as they are truly visual works of art and must look super in your room. You might check what caps are used in your crossovers and try to reach Gary Gallo to see if he has any other recommendations based on your s... | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Greg: Any tips on how to get rid of the static quickly (other than submerging the gear in water:-). The sound from the tubes drives me nuts, when I start up the amp for that day and a half or so and I always wonder if it is harming the tweeters. | |
| Confused By A Transport Upgrade Hi Gunbei: The D60 should certainly liven things up a bit (probably a good thing that you held on to it). All of my digital equipment also sounds a bit muted (less detail) when it comes up from a cold start and offers more detail in approx. 3 days... | |
| Best and Worst Product Names Stupid me. I always though a "Buffy" was I guy that worked out and looked at himself in the mirror too much. | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. BB's (for the guns) used to be made out of copper (35-40 years ago, anyway). | |
| Good Stuff Cheap Nice post Prs123. I have owned the Hafler and the Philips and lived off and on with the Allisons for almost a year. Have to agree with you on these three, even down to the cartridge on the 212. | |
| Lead shots for speaker stand. It depends on what the application is and your personal taste. I prefer silica sand (only) to shot/sand or shot in a pair of Target HR70 speaker stands on a plaster floor. All shot was "bad", sand and shot "better" and all sand the most natural so... | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. It kills Charlie. Thanks again. | |
| Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me. Gunbei: Do a search under Neuance and you will find my recent review of the shelving. You might want to consider one for the new Theta, for a start (if it can be placed on the top shelf of your rack). Does the top shelf rest on upturned spikes as ... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord I'll bet you a big hit at the Friar's Club as well. | |
| Mixing new and NOS tubes OK? This is becoming a practice in AI preamps, though they only use 4 6922's (two in the phono and two on the line). I set a friend up (who has a Mod3a) with old production Russian 6922's (from ATSI which are better than the recent Sovteks) and pair o... | |
| New BMI Whale Elite Power Cord Well, it's finally time for my user review of the BMI Whale Elite PC's. I don't know if I will be able to add any more insight into the product not already covered in Greg's very nice review (posted above) but, here goes. I received two of the PC'... | |
| power consumption Mrowlands: Good point. I use a Musical Fidelity X-A1 integrated amp in a guest bedroom system (also where we keep the computer) and it idles in Class A, though it switches to Class A/B at 3-5 watts output. I now turn this amp off (when not in use)... | |
| Speaker Cable for Tube SET System? I ended up going with a 47 Labs OTA cable kit (speaker cable and IC's) and will post a review in the OTA thread later this week. |
