| Tubes for Tenor 75wi They are all easily available tubes. I have done business with The Tube Store: www.tubestore.com and was very satisfied with their service. They carry online all the tubes you need. The 6C33C, 6H30P, 6N6P (or 6H6P) are all russian tubes that don't... | |
| Absolutely beautiful gear You have to include the Oracle Delphi turtable, it was a statement in form and design 25 years ago. Also Bang & Olufson gear of the 80's. Just my 2 cents... | |
| Best Speakers at Montreal Show this past weekend? I agree with Kevinzoe, but the Aurum Acoustics active setup simply dissapeared and had full range bass. High mentions for the Sonus Faber Stradivari driven by Ayre electronics and the 2 rooms with Verity Audio speakers, one with the new Parsifal O... | |
| In what ways modern speakers better the old Tannoy Old Tannoys are better in many ways than modern speakers. No they are noy perfect but having the tweeter in the middle makes for a coherent, musical and non-fatiging sound. They are easy to drive and efficient giving you great choice of amplificat... | |
| Are you/or do you want involvement in a audio club Hi, I have been the president of the Montréal Audio Society up here in Canada for 6 years. We have around 100 members and hold meetings twice a month, one of them exclusively for classical music. We have lots of fun and it's great to be able to sh... | |
| XLR-RCA adapter wiring schematic Normally PIN-1 is ground, PIN-2 is positive and PIN-3 is negative. Some manufacturers, like Jeff Rowland and in Japan (I think) reverse PIN-2 and PIN-3 so you have to check polarity of other components or reverse POS-NEG leads on both loudspeakers. | |
| Advice from Wadia owners I own a Wadia 20/27 combo and run 5 meters without problems. Had other combination that worked well also. Enjoy the pure sound. | |
| Classe DR3 Power Rating in Mono? I used to own DR-3's and if memory serves well they were 100WPC when bridged in mono into 8 Ohms and 200WPC into 4 Ohms. You should not go much lower than 4 Ohms when bridged, but in stereo those babies could drive Apogee's Scintilla's that went a... | |
| SS apm for Totem Mani -2 I have owned Mani-2's for many years and before I paid thousands to buy a super amp, I used a Sunfire amp. I connected the current source to the tweeters and the voltage source to the woofer. Very smooth sounding with iron fist bass. You can be th... | |
| Cary cares and now I care about Cary. I also had the chance to meet Dennis Had. I am a member of the local audio society in Montréal, Canada and 2 years ago we had a suite where we demonstrated a home grown audio system and the different aspects of our club. Cary had a suite just besi... | |
| Gershman Acoustics at 2003 Son & Image I was also at the Montréal audio show and I agree with your comments. This setup gets my vote for the cleanest and deepest bass I heard. They could have used a larger room though.Serge | |
| Effective length of Well Tempered Classic? Why don't you contact Well Tempered Lab directly, they are still in business, offer upgrades etc. Their web site is: www.welltemperedlab.com . I own an older Well Tempered Classic turtable and the effective lenght as measured by Twl's definition i... | |
| What tube amp mates well with Sonus Faber Amati's? I have heard the Amati's with Nagra VPA and PL-P preamp with Wadia 860 and Siltech cables. Highs and midrange were to die for but bass although quite deep was not very well controled. What about a pure class A amp like the Pass Aleph series or the... | |
| What SS amp do you use with your SF Line 3? I have heard the SE version of your preamp matched to McCormack amps: either the DNA-2 DLX LAE or the DNA-225, speakers were Vandersteen 5 or JM Lab Mezzo Utopia. Either setup was superb, natural highs, lush mids and great, fast bass. The combinat... | |
| Various Wadia players.. can someone order them Hi, I have owned several Wadia separates and they were all incredible. But for your question, the oldest is the 6i, then the 21 and the 830, 850 were produced during the same period. If I am not mistaken the 6i, 21 and 850 all use TEAC based trans... |
