| Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide It should be noted that MikeC is the originator of the "Aerial 10t beware" thread, and both in that post and this, it reads like he has sour grapes at older 10T owners who list their ads with the final retail price of the 10T. He has emailed 10T s... | |
| help buying capacitors agreed, blackgates are the most overrated cap in existence. or, that were in existence- they are out of production now, sold out many places. (though still many hoards left. but why bother? they are not worth it). A good idea is avoid electrolytic... | |
| Value of 1956 Lee Catenoid speaker What driver is in it? Some sort of tri-axial most likely. -Ed | |
| Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide ChamsUK: I had been to the store at that time, but not for that demo. I did meet M.K. at another seminar he did when they were at their current location in Nashua, and also on some later occasions. | |
| Aerial 10T Beware? Another Look & Buyer's Guide Worth mentioning: later models had different cabinets, sourced from Denmark. Slightly different construction/shape to a small degree, better quality in a significant way IMHO. Also later ones had Xover changes in addition to driver changes. All in... | |
| Anybody have opinions on supertweeters????? The CLS do not need add-on tweeters. The go plenty high. Any tweeter is not likely to match the speed and grace of the panel, not to mention the dispersion and imaging will be all wrong. -Ed | |
| Best 6922 tubes for DAC Anything by Phillips (e.g. Amperex, Mulllard) will be a huge improvement over Sovtek. I'd recommend Amperex Bugle Boys or maybe 7308s for the ultimate upgrade. -Ed | |
| Best active crossover? Bryston 10B, agreed. I have one and it's great. I really like the looks of the Pass XVR1 though, as well. Quite sophisticated. If you want the best 3-way digital Xover (that sounds good, and has a TON of other features) check out www.deqx.com-Ed | |
| Multi-Channel IC'S w/DB25 Connector I have a Monster one that I use, came with a pre-pro that I bought. HT is a fairly non-critical application IMNSHO, so it seems as good as anything really. Convenient, which is about the best reason to get one. -Ed | |
| Cartridge rebuilds, whats your opinion? Agreed with TWL. If you are going to have it rebuilt, best to have koetsu redo it. They pretty much fit a whole new unit to the existing wood shell, so it's like getting a whole new cart for 1/2 the price or less (forget the exact costs). Rosewood... | |
| What is that thing in the AudioFest 2004 Headline Yes, it's a new(ish) preamp from Josh of Electronluv. It was in Terry Cain's room, for the show. It belongs to a guy in Canada, who now has delivery of it. I have one which is similar in circuit design but much different in parts choices and equal... | |
| How do I keep my cats off my amplifier? Couple loads of buckshot ought to do it. | |
| which way to start tube-rolling ? please Go Preamp. the CD is just a buffer, no gain, little effect from tube rolling it. -Ed | |
| Need capacitor recommendations for tube amps Tony Welsh on Ebay or Gintaras (from Lithuania), are the main sources. -Ed | |
| Best way of removing rust from silver or other Silver tarnish (oxide) doesn't affect the electrical properties of the metal at all. So, not to worry in that regard. Ed |
