| Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter BAT VK-300SE integrated.While the (optional) phono section is not great,the tube front end (6H30) and solid state muscleamp (150 watts/ch @8 ohms, 300 @ 4 ohms) are very musical.I use one with an Ayre P5 and have no complaints. | |
| just an observation for comment My 2 cents:Purchased King Crimson album at T.H.E. show last Jan.It sounds like someone sneezed on it and let it dry.Just the worst record ever.I can't remember the table where purchased (NOT Music Direct or Acoustic Sounds).If I can find the recei... | |
| Any thoughts/recommendations on electronics Try to hear an Almarro A205A.This EL84 based integrated is very musical and the MK-II version has a headphone jack.There is currently a MK-I selling for $700.Good stuff. | |
| VPI Classic III force gauge Are you sure it's the gauge and not the cartridge causing the attraction?Either way, it would be pretty dang stupid to use ferrous metal in a device of this type.I don't recall any such problems dialing in the Blackbird on my Classic II. | |
| What happens when a tube amp fails? I had a tube circuit go bad in an ARC CL-60.I wasn't aware of it until I traded it in for a new VT-100 MK-I.The store owner said a resistor burned out but, again,it wasn't detectable sonically.I did play at very conservative volumes so maybe this ... | |

| Have you ever skinned a speaker cable? Almarg: Thanks for the contribution!I don't really "need" 5 guage wire but I need to satisfy my curiosity.I currently use Harmonic Tech Pro-9 which, IMO, dumps current like nobody's business -Really great macro dynamics. I have some HT Pro-11 that... | |
| What are you 'TRULY' Looking for in Loudspeaker... For me, in this "Golden Age" of speakers, I find myself wanting BETTER MUSIC!We need to find the Tesla/Einstein/Carlyle/Jordan of (modern) music.Someone who is head-and-shoulders above their peers.Good progress was made by Paul Simon (Graceland) a... | |
| What is This Noise? Update: Have not heard the "dreaded grain" in a couple of weeks now.New speakers seem to have broken in and settled down.All's well in Dweller Land... | |
| Jimi Hendrix on PBS "American Masters" Thanks. | |
| How do I break in a tube amplifier? I had the large caps replaced on my former ARC CL-60. I walked into the store's back room where my amp was sitting on a table. It was turned on with no speakers attached.The tech told me it is alright to have the amp powered up as long as you don'... | |
