| loose IEC power cord connection? Nothing applied to the outside of the IEC plug does a thing to improve its connectivity. Just keeps it from falling out. | |
| loose IEC power cord connection? It's not so much a question of the IEC connector fitting into the component. It's whether the connector grips firmly onto the component's prongs. Many connectors fall right back out and if that happens, no wrapping, etc. of ends is going to help m... | |
| Stan Getz 1953-54 Norgran set on Mosaic vinyl? I have it too. It's excellent. | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? He's told you he's a college student now. The small room is only a starting point. He has the money. The speakers are great (I've heard them in a small room). What's so hard about all this? | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? Go for it. If you run short, ask your cousin Eddie :-) | |
| Am I going to regret the Gallo 3.1s? Your room is not too small. Your amp is powerful enough. I had the original Reference 3s for 7+ years playing thru a 12 wpc SET amp -- yeah, it has big transformers and the Gallo subwoofer amp to help out, but still.BUT, the Stradas are better sou... | |
| Best 845 tube out there? I used the metal plate Shuguangs for a couple years and find the Pavanes (Psvanes) much more to my liking. More open and dynamic and less (for lack of a better word) "metallic." I did enjoy the metal plate tubes for quite a while, though. | |
| Missing Stereophile Issues??? Someone at your local post office must be an audiophile. Sorry, hope you get it resolved, but mass cancellations by people who get theirs regularly is NOT the answer. | |
| Damping oil with Sumiko MMT? I think it would be advantageous with the Denon cart. Easy enough to try. If you don't want to invest immediately in one of the various viscosities of silicone damping fluid, just try something like STP or even honey (I'm assuming you can easily r... | |
| Kate Bush I have it and am not sure I played it all the way through. Not because of the pressing quality which appears to be pristine, but because I simply don't like it. If you can't get your copy exchanged, let me know (no one else, please). Contact me of... | |
| Best current 845 Tubes I've heard most of these (but never heard of the last two) and like the Psvane 845T best even though one of mine died after just 14 months. | |
| Can I Connect my Raysonic CD Player to My B&K Amp? I'd say so :-)I have a 128 myself. VERY nice CD player, and i'm running it into an Aesthetix Calypso via the XLRs.You may already know this, but of the four tubes in the 128, the outer pair serve the XLR outputs and the inner pair serve the RCAs. | |
| Can I Connect my Raysonic CD Player to My B&K Amp? Does your amp have volume controls? If so, maybe. Is the Raysonic a model 128 or 168? If 128, probably not. If 168 (which has a volume control), yes. | |
| Will my amp have enough juice for the Gallo 3.1s? Vedder, my SET monoblocks were custom designed and built by a friend. There is only one set of taps, which I believe is 6 ohms.As to Anthony Gallo's preference for a 500w Spectron amp to drive them, this is true. It is also true that some of the f... | |
| Will my amp have enough juice for the Gallo 3.1s? I ran my Gallo Ref3s for 7 years with a pair of 12wpc SET monoblocks (845 output tubes, big trannies) and have now moved on to Gallo Stradas and TR-3 subs. I did use the Gallo subwoofer amp on the woofers' second voice coils, but all too often I f... |
