| The best passive preamp Thanks. Apparently the output transformers in my modfied CDP would not be a good fit with the Sonic Euphoria, which has an input impedance listed as 500-1000 ohms. Perhaps all passives need to be ruled out. | |
| Linn LP-12 Configurations for a Newbie Any idea what the Cirkus and Lingo cost today? Are there still dealers who do the Linn TT upgrades? | |
| The best passive preamp Have any of you Bent users heard the Sonic Euphoria PLC? I'm curious about this unit because the Bent is no longer available, and because they have a 30-day trial period.Also, roughly what conditions would contraindicate a passive? | |
| GMA Callisto feedback Green Mountain Audio Can anyone comment on the comparison of the Callisto and the Europa? Also, are both speakers using the same drivers? | |
| SS Int Amps, $1500-5k choices ?? There has been high enthusiasm for the Portal Panache at its sub-$2K price point. The Lavardin integrateds look interesting, depending on how much power you need. The new Rowland Concerto is probably excellent, but may be over budget. Ayre perhaps... | |
| Speaker cable connectors? What exactly do they do? Alo, the connector itself is plated with a material that resists or does not oxidize, such as gold. The site of the connection itself is typically sealed (a rubberized shrink wrap) so that no bare wire is exposed to the air. Air is needed for oxid... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables How critical is it for the the turns to be evenly spaced? And what's a simple way to actually do it? | |
| Speltz Anti Cables Thank you! Sean, I must say, you have been at the height of your educational effectiveness of late. When I put the Speltz in yesterday, I just let them fall where they may ("fall" is not something these stiff cable do, but you know what I mean). M... | |
| Speltz Anti Cables That's correct, I believe. | |
| Speltz Anti Cables I got a set yesterday and have to say I'm quite disappointed with the way they sound (compared to my Audience AU24). How much break in do they need?Sean, in which circumstances would solid core not perform well, can you say? | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? Interesting, Art. You have the disease pretty bad I see. :-)What caused you to reach the conclusion that the FS was a "problem" in your system?Is it possible to get more transparency and a quieter background? I have had only brief exposure to the ... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Stock is 6H23n? And it went bad in the first month?Has anyone else tried the Electro Harmonix Gold 6922? | |
| An Extraordinary Find Dodge, I wonder if you have heard the new Vandersteen Quattro. SInce you like the 5A, the Quattro might give you that sound at $7K.Not to take anything away from the Fried, which is a speaker that interests me a lot based on a brief listening to a... | |
| RIP Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen Sad news. He was one of the greats. | |
| Review: Sony SCD-1 Audiocom-UK upgrade I had my work done about a year ago and I think I was one of the first to get the transformer mod. I was kind of nervouse about it and bascially took it on faith from Richard that it was a good thing to do. Of course, I have no idea if it really w... |
