| CAV-50 and 804 Diamonds I had a similar issues (my sweet sounding crystal clear amp went all grainy and hard sounding) with a Audio Research CA50 and B&W 805s's. The bottom line is they just do not work well together. I ended up swicthing to a McIntosh 2275 and all w... | |
| Original vs. imitation ; MC275 vs. Cayin A88T Actually I just sold my Cayin A70T after replacing it with a Mac 2275 integrated amp last year. The speakers are B&W 805S's and Spendor S 3/5's both used in conjuction with subwoofers. As mentioned above the input/driver tubes make a significa... | |
| Anyone heard the Micro Seiki DDX1000? As a former DDX1000 owner one of the great sonic upgrades in my system was replacing the DX1000 with an LP12. The DDX1000 was easily the best looking and worst sounding high end turntable I have ever owned. As mentioned above it was extremely feed... | |

| Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's Started with a pair of Lancer 44's and upgraded to lancer 99,s in the early 70's and kept them for about 6 years. Recently I bought another pair of L 99's and plan to pair them with my refurbished Mac 1500 and AR XA for my classic/retro system. | |
| Cayin A-70t tube rolling ...EL34 Tubes?... Call Steve at VAS as you have his version of the A-70 he can answer your questions. | |
| Cayin Spark MT-12A int amp?? Rob,Actually I have used my MT12A with The less expensive Energy C50's which are also rated at 89DB sensitivity to good effect (However, I felt that they were not the ideal match with my sub). Again as in your case this is a bedroom system and thu... | |
| Cayin Spark MT-12A int amp?? I actually own and currently use an MT12a in a bedroom system. It drives a Pair of Epos ELS3's and (through the speaker level inputs) an Atlantic Technology subwoofer.The EL84 output tubes used are Russian Military 6P14's in conjunction with 2 Amp... | |
| EL84 amp Vs. EL34 amp A Jolida 102B used should be in your price range and is an excellent EL84 amp. No it's not point to point but the it has that SET type midrange with a little more power. Also mine has been extremely reliable. | |

| Electro Harmonix 6922 pre-amp tubes I currently use the std EH 6922's in My Audio Research CA50 where they replaced the original Soveteks. To my ear they are slightly warmer than the Soveteks and still have the rugged reliability required in the ARC & Audible Illusions products.... | |
| which el 84 amp or integrated Good luck let us know how it works out!Jerry | |
| which el 84 amp or integrated It's been a long time since I have listened to a Scott 222 but I would think that a totally refurbished 222 would compete well with most of the current El84 amps as the transformers were superb and they are the heart of most tube amps. Also be car... | |
| which el 84 amp or integrated Well I currently own 3 EL84 amps as follows:Jolida JD102B - easily the most powerful of the group with manual bias it does an honest 18watts per channel across the audio band. Excellent sound with slightly soft bass but needs the optional JD50 pas... |
