| Best 845 amp? I'm not technically knowledgable enough to be able to help, sorry. I do know that my amp designer/builder had to alter the bias substantially (up or down? don't know) to accommodate the 845Cs after my using 845Bs. This despite the fact that Sophia... | |
| Best 845 amp? Tmhaudio, re the 845C question, I don't know. Sophia claims theirs is new production. SuperTNT, having stopped selling the original "C" under their own name and discouraging people from buying it, may well be selling from old stock. I had a pair o... | |
| Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter? Nope, no warning. Since all the Gallo CDT tweets do it, they (Gallo) clearly know it's going to happen and don't consider it a "defect." Not the best in customer relations, I agree. | |
| Mullards for Preamp? This is normal for some Mullards and other tubes. I wouldn't worry about it. | |
| Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter? Sorry I forgot the smiley and I'm not sure you're kidding now. As I understand it, though, there's no crossover between mids and highs and the woofer is crossed over at 150 Hz to the mids. Could be wrong. It's been known to happen. :-)Dave | |
| Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter? Viridian, this may be the best-sounding tweeter out there. As it stands, there's no crossover between the mids and the tweeter, so what you're suggesting is a big step backward. | |
| Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter? Might work. Somebody else go first. I'd sure hate to inadvertently remove something vital to the way these things sound. | |
| Has anyone removed tarnish from Gallo tweeter? Sorry to tell you, but it will get worse, although I don't think they're fingerprints. All Gallo tweeters do this -- I've had the original sphericals, the Due's, and now the Ref 3s. At least they ultimately get a consistent, all-over tarnish (soun... | |
| Best 845 amp? I had forgotten the earlier 845 thread. To update the bit about the 845C and 845M tubes sold by Super TNT and produced by Shuguang, both of these tubes are currently available, both are "metal plate" tubes, and SuperTNT confused the issue by intro... | |
| Gallo Nucleus reference II tweeter not working The good news is that these tweeters sound great and are virtually indestructible. Chazzbo lays out the bad news. Hope you find a solution. Dave | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment How about "Aural Ersatz?"Don't you love it? Speakers with this brand name just showed up today (2/3) in the Audiogon classifieds. | |
| Does antiskating matter with spring disabled? I tried one of these counterweights on an RB-300 and went back to the original -- liked the sound better. YMMV. | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? I've used a couple of inexpensive Denon step-up trannies with Denon DL-103 carts and think they're great. Excellent synergy. Dave | |
| Dynavector 10X5 vs Blue Point Special "Evo III" A suggestion. Buy a Denon DL-103 for under $200 shipped from Germany (search on Ebay for seller) and add a Denon step-up transformer for around $100 from Audio Cubes. This combo will soundly beat the Dynavector (I had one and sold it), IMHO. I'll ... | |
| NOS Ortofon VMS 30 MkII I've brought several old cartridges back from the dead by applying a tiny amount of "Re-Grip" to the suspension with a toothpick. This rubber revitalizer(ordinarily used on tape deck pinch roller and other hardened rubber parts) is available from ... |
