| Amps for Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage Before ditching your current amp, I would suggest trying out a NOS tube for the powerstage of your Ref 3. A friend has been experimenting with NOS tubes in his Ref 3, and got good improvement in the areas you mentioned. Just don't hook up the Ref ... | |
| Herbie's vs. Hal-O's, Tube Dampers whats good? The orange ones are silicone O-rings. You can get a bag of 100 for like $8 at McMaster. They will work, but most people think they don't work as well as some of these more expensive ones. They can handle heat up to like 600 degrees, so they won't ... | |
| VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE Stringreen,Ouch! Besides being a liar or grossly misinformed, there's a third possibility that maybe you did not read through what I said entirely. ;-)Yes, I stated that the arm is terrible, and right after that, I stated why I think it is terribl... | |
| VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE Acoustic Signature's been around for a long time. I think there was a break up of the partners or something so there's like two different companies with essentially the same table, one is Acoustic Signature, and I can't remember the name of the ot... | |
| VPI Scout to Michell Orbe SE I have an Orbe SE + SME V arm. I am using a Shelter 901 and another small outfit hand-built cartridge from Taiwan as my carts. Two of my closest friends are currently using the Scoutmasters, one with a Shelter 901, and the other with a Lyra Skyla.... | |
| Japanese Vinyl Pressing How much were those LPs? I was in Tokyo about 3 years ago, and visited pretty much all of the disk union and audio union stores. I saw a lot of US pressing Jazz LPs but not too much of Japanese pressings. And the US presings were all over US$100. ... | |
| To clean zerodust Agree w/ comments above regarding Magic Eraser. I tape a piece of the eraser to a stick and place it under the cartridge and move straight up and down to clean the stylus. It always pulls the stylus slightly when I'm pulling away. I'm always afrai... | |
| To clean zerodust No problem using warm water w/ small amount of dish washing detergent.How are the new speakers sounding?FrankC | |
| Tube coolers? Check out Parts Connexion. They sell these Pearl Tube Coolers. In discussing with some folks a few years back, it was recommended to add some grounding cable from each of these to the chassis to drain any static that could occur.FrankC | |
| Tube headphone amp? Some folks were talking about flavor of the month amps on some other thread, I think that phrase applies to headphone amp even more.Check out Head-Fi.org for more information on headphone amps as there are 50x more options when it comes to headpho... | |
| Revel Studio versus Parsifal Encore My friend has a pair of Sarastros and had a hard time getting them right in his fairly good sized room, about 15 ft x 22 ft x 12 ft.It could be due to the fact that the room is on top of the garage, so his floor is very "bouncy". He's worked with ... | |
| Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series Seriously, a few years back, the local (now defunct) store was demoing a pair of the reference Krell monoblocks like 1000w each driving a pair of the Dynaudio Evidence speakers. In the middle of the demonstration, the breaker tripped and the entir... | |
| Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series I agree, with Samzx12. Before spending mega bucks on power conditioners or even powercords, get a dedicated line installed. It's relatively inexpensive. I paid like $300 for two 20amp dedicated lines about 8 years ago. One for the front end and on... | |
| RE: Better...Classe CA-2200 or Levinson 333-5-6? Acaamano,So far, we've only heard one side of the story regarding the criminal act. I think the cat should have an opportunity to defend itself.I owned the 333 for 8 years, bought it as a demo from a dealer. During my ownership, the capacitors ble... | |
| Power Cable options for Levinson 300 series for the high power ML amps like the 333, 336, and the monoblocks, ML wanted to make sure that the end users don't accidentally use smaller gauge powercords and break the amps or cause a fire, so they decided to go the safe route and use attached P... |
