| el 34 vs kt 77 As far as I know, yes. Dave | |
| el 34 vs kt 77 Night and day all right, but the other way around :-)I was convinced that my Mullard EL34 xf1 and xf2 tubes were the best of the best until I tried the reissue Genalex/Gold Lion KT77s. These are used as driver tubes in my 845 SET monoblocks, so yo... | |
| Felt Mats or ??? I second the Boston Audio, after trying at least 8-10 alternatives, everything from two Herbies mats (different thicknesses) to felt to those gawdawful shelf-liner things :-) | |
| Company loyalty- What has been your favorite? Mapman, what dealer?Recommendations: Soundsmith (Peter Ledermann), Aesthetix (Jim White), Morrow Audio (Mike Morrow), CryoParts (Lee Weiland) , VPI (the fabled "Mike"). | |
| Anyone used the jennings cd stylus scale Nope, that's not the one I have. I agree, it looks totally cool. With any luck, it might even work :-) | |
| Gallo Ref 3.1 vs PSB Synchrony One I would largely agree. Mr. Gallo might remember that some of the final pre-production work on the Reference 3s was carried out using 10 wpc amps. It's the quality of the amps, not their wpc, that matters most. And I gotta say, these things LOVE tu... | |
| Gallo Ref 3.1 vs PSB Synchrony One Bostonbean, yes, I should have mentioned that. Sorry. I didn't use it for the first couple of years I had the Gallos, though, and hear no difference unless there's some really low bass present on the musical source material. Dave | |
| Gallo Ref 3.1 vs PSB Synchrony One Bostonbean, well maybe. I've run mine on 12wpc SET monoblocks (granted, with huge transformers) for more than 4 years and have never felt the need for more juice. This is in an 18 x 40' room. | |
| Gallo Ref 3.1 vs PSB Synchrony One Never heard the Synchrony, but I love the Gallos. I know what you mean about not being able to get the sound out of your mind, and they only get better the longer they're broken in. A friend of mind supposedly "traded down" from a pair of JM Labs ... | |
| Anyone used the jennings cd stylus scale I have one, and if I were you, I wouldn't bother, It's a finicky little thing. The packaging is weird --the little platform where you place the stylus is packaged OUTSIDE the clamshell box, just begging to be broken off. Periodically it refuses to... | |
| Advice on Shure cartridge, please Plastic in the cartridge dried out? Never heard that one before. Usually they say it's the stylus suspension. I've got several 30-40 year old carts that sound just fine (like yours). You can always replace the stylus assembly (it may take some tim... | |
| Which tubed pre to "flesh out" my mids??? I replaced a CJ Premier 17LS2 with an Aesthetix Calypso and couldn't be happier. | |
| Recommendations for solid core speaker wiring? Another vote for the Morrow Audio wires. After trying more speaker cables than I can remember, these are staying in the system. Dave | |
| Aesthetix/Ayre recomended signal-/speakercables. As a fellow Calypso owner, I'd recommend going all the way with Morrow Audio cables (sold here on Audiogon). In fact I have. 60 day moneyback, I believe. I used to spend megabucks for cables -- Kimber silver, topline AQ, Omega Mikro, etc. No more.... | |
| Lenco owners - arm/cart discussion,suggestions? Mike, you can probably get away with an 18 x 24" platform IF the front-back distance between the bolt holes on your Lenco is sufficient (i.e., no more than about 16 1/2"). Dave |
