Allnic Synergy
HyvoltageThe L1500's transformer coupled output's very low impedance (150 ohms) assures a good marriage of most amplifiers whether the design be solid state or vacuum tube. Considering the 87dB efficiency of the 801's, a decent solid state amp suc... 
PurePowerAPS Canada concern
I have been awaiting a refund for a 2000 returned to Pure Power, Ayre, Ontario March 2012. I have repeatedly been lied to, promised immediate compensation, and sent wrong amount cheques drawn on a US account which is worthless to me. I am located ... 
Review: ALLNIC HT 2500 Head Amplifier Nuvistor Tube preamp

Review: Allnic H 3000 phono preamplifier Tube preamp
A wonderful well written and articulate review Carl!I would like to update you and the readers with the gain levels of transformer inputs . Instead of the 10,20,26 and 30dB gain levels illustrated, the actual transformer gains are 20, 24, 26 and 3... 
Buzz/hum from amps, NOT from speakers
Try disconnecting your cable input to your TV . If that's the culprit , your local cable guy can install a reducer .Best of luck 
Edge M8M vs NuForce
Bill. Earlier this year I had owned the Edge M8M with a pair of Wilson Sophia's and the Nuforce 9.02's . The Edge is a sonically pure amp (after lot's of warmup) and worked well with a bevy of Linestages that I sampled such as the ARC Ref2 , the L...

Proceed AMP5 in protective mode
This is a follow up with a great ending . After taking the amp to my local Levinson dealer , the tech pulled the control board and reinstalled . The problem was found to be a cold solder connection . It's been home a month now and working 100%

I want to change from 2 channel to HT but what....

Audio Research vt100mkll question
Just a word of wise. The VT100 Mk 2 requires a 2 stage bias set up. You must bias the 6922's prior to inserting the 6550's and then set up final bias. Leonard will be able to send you the biasing imformation which does not come with the original m... 
Used Pre-amp advise please....
My experiences with the SFL2 have been extremely happy ones. It does so many things right and seems to synergize well with many amps. The build quality reeks of class , just plug and play !As Sogood points out, 1000 is optimistic...these units sta...

Teac VRDS 10
I previously owned the 10. Ran as a stand alone player , you can drive straight into amp, or as a transport. As a transport this is excellent value. The sucker weighs 28 lbs and is also nice to look at. For 500 its kinda a no brainer . Good luck
