| Mods to Apogee Scintillas? Baranyi. Wowza! Tell me your not tooooo excited about getting that rig up and running! Man...I have been thinking about your speakers ever since I read your thread. Bob,the Supratek is simply a no-brainer.[disclosure here.. coming from a biased ow... | |
| Supratek phono stage dark? Hi Mlkiz. Any luck solving your dilema? If you are not having a problem with the sound of cd through the supratek, something is wrong somewhere in the phono stage, [tubes,switching or cartridge loading] Best of luck. | |
| Supratek phono stage dark? Milkiz. I think Rushton has hit the nail on the head as It sounds like the problem to me as well. On the back of the preamp will be an impedence switch. Make sure it is sitting at the top of its stop [the highest setting]. That would ensure your c... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? I have aways had a dozen or so amplifiers kicking around. Mostly tube amps...from vintage to modern. I have collected,bought,sold, traded,built,rebuilt and repaired both tube amps as well as solid state amps for more than 35 years. Funny as it may... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hello Mlkiz. I use a grado statement MM with my syrah, however, the output is only .5 mv. Do you have any gain stage flexibilty on your new chenin? I would hazard to guess the 3.5 mv into the riaa stage of the chenin may be a touch high. The only ... | |
| Mods to Apogee Scintillas? Trelja... Amen sir. Had the fortunate pleasure of revisiting them again last year in Korea.Mated with modern day FM Acoustics amplification[cannot remember model #'s], however it was a revelation to say the least. I actually owned a pair of Scinti... | |
| What Amp for ProAc Response 3's? Hey Tom. Well said Sir! | |
| What Amp for ProAc Response 3's? Maximm. Yeah right! Have you ever heard the Proac response speakers with a good tube amp? Have you ever wondered why proac[the company] and far to many other top shelf speaker manufacturers partner their speakers with tube amplification? So they c... | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 Hello Again Bartokfan. Yes, the Da 60 would be the logical choice for your speakers and must be considered one of the finest sounding integrated's on the planet by anyones standards.It can also be optimized for the el-34,kt-77,kt-88 and kt-90. PS:... | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 Hi Bartokfan. I believe you can also run an el-34 in the Jadis da 30 as well as the kt-90, although you will certainly have to re-bias the output tubes to do this. Biasing any Jadis amplifier is a bit of an exercise as they are not the easiest amp... | |
| Tube amps for classical music FU29 vs EL34 Hello Bartokfan. I can concurr with M wilson's experience regarding bass response with both the el-34 and KT-88/6550 tubes. Grgm's solid advice on waiting until you get your speakers is a very astute piece of advise.Depending on your room size of ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Hi Cello. Regarding the 6c45.... I have very little experience with russian tubes other than to say I am not very impressed with most of the ones I have tried whether they are output tubes, input tubes or drivers.As far as the WE 437a being a drop... | |
| Mullard EL34 xf2 vs xf2 coded tubes Hello Alex. They are the same tube produced by mullard and relabelled. Many were relabelled for Dynaco,Fisher, McIntosh [to name a few] from of the era.Easily identified by the etched date code and a hole in the bottom of the guide pin. | |
| Goldmund JOB Stereo amplifier Interesting... The Bendini 25/25 is the real SCORE on that list, but also quite rare on the used market as the original owners will never sell them. A very sweet and articulate amplifier and my all time favorite sand amp. The original 25 watt Mark... | |
| Still pondering Paradigms 2chnlben. I have to concurr with Gunbei's advice. Replacing a highly resolving stat like your ML's will be a trying experience. Yeah, the paradigm's are a very good speaker for the money,do a lot of things very well, however...they are not at the ... |
