| Classe DR-6 MM circuit L channel out, MC works I believe that when this preamp was sold it had a Lifetime warrantee.I know that my DR4 did and that was around'90. You may not be the orig. owner and they probably would use that to weasel out of the deal. | |
| Sonny Boy Williamson "Keep It To Ourselves" It's great, both in sound and music. "Buy it, you'll like it" | |
| Telefunken 12ax7 smooth or ribbed plate?????? My experience has been that the the ribbed seem brighter, clearer, and, more transparent. However, I have only owned a few of each type.Someone else might say that the smooth are more natural sounding and they might be right. I once tried a smooth... | |
| What is the best 12ax7 NOS tube ????????? Without question, it is the Amperex "Bugle Boy" | |
| How long can Magnepan speaker last? I loved my MG111A's, but I have to admit that they went bad after 9 years of med. to heavy use. By heavy use, I don't mean high power, just lots of playing time. They don't have voice coils to go bad or surrounds to rot, but, what they all will ev... | |
| Shure V15V cartridge. Worth investing in? Yes, you can outdo this cartridge by spending more than twice as much, but, nothing will touch it for the price of a replacement stylus. It all depends on what you expect from your analog setup. By the way Edle, I have seen references to this Deno... | |
| 12au7 I almost hate to get into this because I have found that the Telefunken tubes are NOT always the best of their type. Both the 12AX7 and 12AU7's have an unnatural thickness in the midrange. Only the ribbed plate 12AX7 (If you can find them) overcom... | |
| Fisher Tube Receivers rated vs. modern seperates You may not be able to replace that sound you love with a new component without spending thousands. I cringe when I think of all the modern amps I have bought trying to better my Fisher 15 watt mono's... Cary SLA 80, VTL Tiny Triodes, Adcom 565 Mo... | |
| What about the Teres Turntable? Wow, a linear arm for 400 bucks! Twl, is there a website where I could check this out? Thanks, Chris | |
| Anybody who has experice with multi arm tables?? Hey 4yanx, how do you mount 2 arms on the Spacedeck? Do you have to purchase an arm mounting "pod" to replace the front foot pod? I have been thinking about doing this and haven't met anyone who has been through it. Also, do you remember what it c... | |
| Help Me Get Out Of The Dark Ages Try the Totem Forest. I liked my Dyna A-10's so much that they filled in for over a year after selling Magnepan MG 111A's before I settled on the Forests. Also, Totem's new Hawk looks very appealing for even less money. Believe it or not,The Fores... | |
| Can Power mono amps be too close to the speaker Try this, it has worked well for me. Get your ears down to floor level while music is playing and listen for the least loud or boomy area near the spkrs. I have found that the shortest cable length will require that the amps are placed in too nois... | |
| Best tube integrated--Cary SLI-80, or? I can't speak for the SLI80, but I owned the predecesser, the SLA80 power amp. The whole design might be different and I might be deaf, but I can tell you that in no way could you mistake this thing for a single ended triode design. The SLA 80 was... | |
| fisher 800-c tube reciever Fisher had really good ears, and I can't tell you how many modern amps I have passed on in favor of his tiny 15 watt mono blocs. Receivers, however are always problematic because of their complexity. I'll bet that you find the FM section to sound ... | |
| Table only as good as it s cartridge? I am not a Linnie, but, I think I agree with their philosophy on this one. From what I have heard over the years, it seems to go like this in order of importance in an analog set up: Turntable, tone arm, cartridge. I am still not sure where the tu... |
