| Whats on your turntable tonight? Bob James' Rameau album - a CBS digital lp | |
| Tube Burn-in Process: Psvane Will they burn in just with the amp powered on, or does a signal need to be passed through them ? | |
| Tube Burn-in Process: Psvane Ah yes, the Stressless Chair. Back in the day I had one for a decade or more but at replacement time I was told they were no longer being made. Maybe they're back ? | |
| has anyone had problems with wadia service? They still haven't gotten that act together - I bought my 27/0 combo in 1996 and from reading these posts, nothing has changed in 15-16 years. Shoddy customer service is in their DNA. | |
| Best kt88 for VAC Avatar Super My experience with the Golden Lions in the VAC Phi was shortlived. They sounded like grand and glorious 'hi-fi', punchy at first but quickly fatiguing. The Psvane's have merit, both as drivers and power tubes. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata, Rostropovich and Britten on a London red-label. | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Look inside the shield of the phono plug sleeves - that's where my problem was | |
| Dude's 6SN7 replacements with Chinese CV-181/6SN7 A top amp manufacturer loves the Brimar but where can I get some ? Ultra-rare, they seem. | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? JWM - I made exactly the same change to the drivers in my Phi 300.1 as you did - the Sylvania's in the input position (3/4) lent an edginess to the treble. They are now outputting the signal from the RCA's in the center, and as you say -- my oh my... | |
| SUT shootout I also use a Shindo preamp (Giscours) and am wondering if Sibelius input the Hashimoto to the MM or MC port ? And what IC was used from the Hashimoto into the phono stage ? Thanks. | |
| Cartridge recommendations for TW Acustic 10.5 arm. I've lived with the Kansui on the TW arm boarded onto the TW Raven Limited for about 2 months now. My only prior cartridge experience was with the Lyra TItan. Kansui relegates the Lyra to mere hi-fi: Kansui makes music. Note that it is very sensit... | |
| VAC / Wilson cables The Sophia 3's need more bass control than 300B's can supply. | |
| Best Preamp For VAC PHI 300.1 I imagine the Shindo Giscours would make beautiful music with it. I'm replacing my VAC Ren 70/70 with the Phi next week. The Ren loves Shindo. | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? The Giscours is my current drug of choice. | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Thanks for your seasoned experience, Fjn04. Since a low-output cartridge (.23) presents little challenge for Shindo's gain - how has an external SUT improved what you hear ? I'm skeptical because it's another link in the chain, another piece of co... |
