| Help with re-tubing an ARC VT100 MkII Louis:The biasing of the input tubes is very tedious and requires several iterations to obtain the optimal settings. It is easier if you have two digital voltmeters and several clip-on cables for the test points. You must bias the input tubes firs... | |
| Help with re-tubing an ARC VT100 MkII Jea48I retubed my VT100 MKII using the instructions above from Collins. A matched octet(8) from Upscale audio will cost about $240. A set of 8 low noise input tubes 6H23 (6922) will cost about $200. Total $420 plus shipping. You may want to speak ... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? I see that Mr Schroeder is back to his old sensitive ways. Apparently, he has caught up on his backlog of tone arm orders. He can now resume one of his favorite pastimes of surfing the web and responding to every perceived slight of his arms or hi... | |

| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Ginas;I own the SCD-1. The red book performance can be markedly improved by upgrading the clock with an Audiocom SC3/PSU3 combo. The upgraded SCD-1 is a super performer on red book cds. It is highly recommended that you explore this option before ... | |
| Need help - How to transport my turntable Kyle:Congratulations. The MKV is a very underrated turntable. It is exellent in poviding a musial presentation, with the correct midrange tonal colors with a huge soundstage.It is nimble with excellent speed stability which benefits piano recordings. | |
| Need help - How to transport my turntable I would remove the platter prior to transporting the MKV, in order to prevent damage to the bearing. Make sure that you drain off all the oil drops into the bearing housing. However, it can be time consuming/difficult to re-install the belt if you... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Sirspeedy:Were the speakers full range (capable of reproducing the bottom octaves)? | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Sirspeedy:I also owned the Kenwood KD-500/AT-605 footers with the Infinity Black widow/Signet cartridge. The claim to fame of this combo was its ability to track the Telarc 1812 cannon shots. I also had the Magnepan MG2 and the ARC D76A. I have fo... | |
| Graham Phantom Steve:Good seeing you post after a long absence. How are the Revelation Audio cables performing, expecially the phono cable?I bought the Zeta with a SOTA Sapphire from Lenny at Lyric in 1984 | |
| Graham Phantom Sirspeedy;I still have my Zeta (wooden box and all) in my closet. | |
| Graham Phantom I am using the Phantom with a Helikon mounted on an Oracle Delphi MKV SE. The results are excellent. The Phantom is a remarkably revealing tonearm with super dynamics and control. The Phantom is amazing at extracting additional information but alw... | |
| VT-100 MkII matches best with what preamp? HELP My VT100 MKII is coupled with the LS25 MKI (NOS 6H23 6922 tubes). In my system, I prefer the tonal balance and the overall performance of the LS25 MKI to the LS5 MKII. The LS5 is also a very good preamp. As a reference you can view my system at th... | |
| I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris. Sirspeedy:I think that you are way too modest. I view you as a knowledgeable veteran audiophile who enjoys the journey in finding the holy grail of audio nirvana. In many ways our approaches are similar: tweaking and optimization of older componen... | |
| ZYX Universe and Lyra Titan Nrchy:In your most recent post you wrote: these comments about the Schroeder/Teres sound at RMAF are foolish at best, or possibly borne of the desire to trash a great product purely out of malice I took the time to re-read all of the responses o... |
