| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest To Charles1dad: the amps are Fisher 30A mono's. A simple push-pull pair of EL84's per side. I slightly modify the input stage and they require the best of the best NOS tubes to really work their magic. Amps they repaced were Adcom 565 mono's. Not ... | |
| Magnepan 1.7 or used Totem Forest They are totally different animals. But, despite that, I consider them both to play in the same class of audio quality. I had the MG111a's for 10 years, then went to the Forests. Not exactly by choice-the Magnepan voice coils delaminated from the ... | |
| Help with Turntable selection I have to agree with Viridian on this one. Everyone here on Audiogon seems to like their VPI's. I wonder how many of them actually have experience with the other High End brands. Have they been down in the analog trenches, dodging bullets from all... | |
| Which Telefunken 12ax7 Smooth plates are just a bit richer. Maybe a bit more "tubey" than the ribbed plates. I am exagerating here to make an example. The differences are not huge, but there. Both excellent. Do you know what a Bugle Boy sounds like? Well the ribbed plat... | |
| Vintage Yugoslavian made 12ax7 tubes for ARC It has been said that those tubes were made on the retired Telefunken machinery. Of course there is alot more to a good tube than what equipment poops it out. To me, they do resemble the ribbed plate Telefunkens in sound but aren't as good overall... | |
| Sinatra suggestions At the Sands LP is great. The Basie band cooks. Just get it because when the reissues are gone, there won't be any more. Finding a pristine original may be difficult. I have always heard that "Songs for Swinging Lovers" is a good one although I ha... | |
| Well Tempered Amadeus turntable, giant killer? Anyone else out there using the Amadeus after owning another Well Tempered table? I think we would all value your comments. Thanks in advance. | |
| Laurie Anderson "Homeland" Poor Obama, he's still putting out Bush's fires. I'm not sure two more years is enough time to get the job done. | |
| New Doors LP's Any comment on the sound Jaybo? Does it sound great too? | |
| The Amadeus's little brother arrives Nice and simple. Can this be thought of as the new Well Tempered "Record Player". Or, does it actually eclipse the performance of the Amadeus? What does it cost? | |
| Learn about the Well Tempered Turntable Very commendable. Nice way to familiarize the next owner with his/her new turntable. I am not going to critique your helpfull video, but I am confused about one point you mention about the arm/ cart. alignment. You say to begin by lining the arm's... | |
| Audio-Technica AT637 Electronic Stylus Cleaner Use mine once after every listening session. Use compressed canned air after every record side. Never had a problem or mishap. | |
| Which Cayin CD player for A50T The CD50T was marketed (and I assume designed) to go along with your amp. Notice the curved section at the bottom of both face plates. I was wanting one for some time but never did purchase. Money evaporated! Everyone owner I asked had great thing... | |
| VPI Classic or Notthingham Hyperspace? You must be kidding. Run, don't walk, back to your dealer and bring home the Hyperspace before someone else beats you to it. The price is a giveaway on a REAL turntable that will leave you with no reason to upgrade in the near, or far future. | |
| Manley Stingray II...a quick review.... Yup, EL84's again. |
