| Question for BAT Pre-Amp owners w/ P10 phono card? That won't do it. Plug needs to be shorted to itself, not the other channel. Recommend calling BAT. -Ed | |
| which is better, Sony SCD-1, or SCD-XA777ES? SCD-1. -Ed | |
| Question for BAT Pre-Amp owners w/ P10 phono card? That's the P3 phono card, btw. Yes, shorting plugs (connect + to - internally in plug) would be a good idea. Piece of wire will work too. -Ed | |
| PreAmp-Tuner Combinations I have an Adcom GTP-400. nice little piece. It (and some others) were actually made by Rotel. This info comes from the ex-head of Rotel service, so it's pretty solid info. I dont' need it anymore, so it's available if anyone is interested.-Ed | |
| What are you powering your Martin Logans with???? I have the original CLS. Power in the past has consisted of Classe CA200, Conrad Johnson premier 5 monos (in triode and UL modes), 47 Lab Gaincard (it worked well!), Antique Sound Lab 1006-845 monos and lately Electronluv vv45-845 monos (< 20wp... | |
| Equvalent Replacement for a/d/s M12 monitor speake Actually anything from Aerial is far more similar. Mike Kelly runs Aerial, and he was the one who worked the magic at a/d/s for many years. I'd recommend Aerial 6's or 7B (not original 7s). I have 5's and 6's - great speakers. Better than anything... | |
| Anyone heard the new Pass Labs Rushmore at CES? I heard them - they sounded good, some of the best at the show I think. Pricey, but given that you don't need amps for them, not too bad. nice construction. Design could use some improvement from an elegance standpoint, but they disappeared well (... | |
| Audiogon Annual Convention Just do it at CES/THE show. Much more to do and less work to organize. -Ed | |
| Electronluv: Anybody heard these? Tube Audio-ART I use them on the CLS - which is the only ML's I have now. Actually at the moment they are hooked up to the Aerial 5's - @ 86db or so they are even less efficient than the ML's. Sweet sound to be sure. -Ed | |
| Electronluv: Anybody heard these? Tube Audio-ART Aren't they great! I have his 2nd pair of amps that he built - the VV45-845 ones. They are as stunning sounding as they look. I was at Josh's house a couple weekends ago and we spent a good while listening to the 75TL amps (which he had at the CES... | |
| What are OA2 tubes and why are there more gear The cool glow on O** series tubes is from the gas fill - argon, neon, xenon, etc. Not from any radioactive elements. Though some larger (high voltage transmitting type) tubes do give off Xrays in minor amounts. -Ed | |
| Quad 12L, PMC TB2, or Harbeth Compact 7ES-2? Agreed the Harbeth's are great. If you can stretch for the Super HL-5 it's a nice step up - more bass. But they all sound great. Much better than their looks would imply! -Ed | |
| New Linn Products They have a new version of the Movie classik coming out too, though not sure if it will play SACD. It does everything else though. Uses the transport/guts of the unidisk. $5k retail I believe. I have a 15 page PDF on it somewhere here... -Ed | |
| 6SN7 Plate Voltage Sugarbrie - Actually the 275 rating only applies to 5692 I think - I've never seen a 6SN7 without GT or something (W, A, etc.) on the tube. GT really just specs' the bottle shape so all 6SN7s are GT's in general. (e.g. T-9 Envelope, octal base). A... | |
| 6SN7 Plate Voltage it's 450v |
