| Have You Tried Cabledyne Interconnects? They tell me by email that with their cables: "No lengthy burn-in is required due to the high purity copper wire. Typically after 8 hours of use, our cables become more liquid and continue to sound better over time."Does this sound reasonable? | |
| OK to Use Both Balanced and RCA Inputs? Thanks, Al, for the precise answer and the very relevant link. | |
| Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i? Thanks, Charles1dad. | |
| Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i? Thanks for athe opinion, Charles1dad. The alternative amp is for me a Yaqin MS-20L with EL34B tubes which delivers 50 wpc. I had heard very good things about the 300B tubes; that's why I was interested in the YAQIN MS-300C 300B. But the EL34B tube... | |
| Can 10W 300B tube amp drive Martin Logan Ascent i? I was thinking of getting a YAQIN MS-300C 300B x 2 Vacuum Tube Hi-end Tube Integrated Amplifier which produces 9.5 wpc, available on ebay. I have magnaplanar 1 speakers, the originals 5' high. Their brochure recommends 40 wpc. So, it won't work wi... | |

| Solid State Pre-Amp: OK to Use With Tube Amp? My NAD amp delivers supposedly 55 watts per channel. This Jolida 502a delivers 60 watts. http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/ele/2952542156.htmlIt's available to me locally. What do you think of it? There are several of the newer model 502's for sale... | |
| the perfect tonearm I recently bought a Clearaudio Innovation Compact with a Clarify tonearm. The Clarify (with its magnetically floating pivot) did not track well: it jumped from the empty grooves at the beginning of records into those with music and at the end of r... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? I ordered a T3Pro without the pump etc. But seconds after submitting the order I got an email from Vic (to whom I had written about all this stuff) telling me: "After Xmas, Fedex lowered their transatlantic costs (£35) so it makes it worthwhile to... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Acman3, you say you use a pump with ¼ tubing? The ad for the Rena 400 pump at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/RENA-AIR-400-PUMP/dp/B00025YRK2 ) suggests that it should be used with Standard 3/16" Flexible Airline Tubing for Aquariums). What kind o... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? OK, I don't need to waste any more of your time. I just noticed the "manual" available at the Trans-Fi site. It explains all this stuff. I won't need to buy the adaptor kit from Vic. | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? What about the Hose Adaptor Kit (barbs + drill tap 10GBP)? Are they needed? I have no idea what these are? I do have a drill. | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Yup, you're probably right. | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? I'm going to buy one. Thanks to all for the info. The turntable technician for the distributor from whom I just bought a Clearaudio Innovation Compact is willing to help me set it up. Between him and Vic there should be no problem in setting it up... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Some bad news: "The Terminator is NO LONGER sold with a 30 day money back trial period. There are over 200 Terminators in circulation, all with favourable reviews. If you have any doubts as to whether Terminator is for you, email me before you ord... |
