| Tube replacement for Peachtree Decco65 Hi zbiener, sorry for the delayed response. Haven't been on agon in a while...No, I haven't tried any different tubes yet. I suspect I'll go with a Sovtek 6N1P w/ high gain option if I ever decide to play around, since it's cheap and the only 6N1P... | |
| Buzz problem with Linn AV5105 power amp All done! There's definitely a lot more punch to the sound now! ;)The hardest part was getting the PCBs out and back in, not a lot of room maneuver inside the case. Some cleanup of the thermal paste was required as well but other than that, everyt... | |
| Buzz problem with Linn AV5105 power amp Did my research and chose a set of Linn's recommended 6800uF 80V caps. These are Cornell Dubilier 30mm x 50mm and came highly recommended for filter cap replacement. The Nichicons were too big and pricey. Besides, I've read that audio grade caps f... | |
| Buzz problem with Linn AV5105 power amp I have my eye on the Nichicon KG series 10000uF 80V (Gold Tune) caps. I haven't checked the dimensions but I'm fairly confident they'll fit.Saw a post here: http://forums.linn.co.uk/bb/showthread.php?tid=24200&page=2 where Linn recommended rep... | |
| Buzz problem with Linn AV5105 power amp I think you're right Czarivey. Took the amp apart and all 4 of the Elna LP5 10000uF caps are bulging. :(I have no experience recapping, but I guess this is as good an opportunity as any to learn. Much thanks! | |
| Tube replacement for Peachtree Decco65 Thanks Sfar! Ya I haven't noticed a difference at all between having the tube stage on or off. I figured that maybe playing around with different tubes might make an audible difference but I trust your judgement that it probably won't. | |
| Pink Floyd The Wall DTS 24 bit gold 2CD Thanks for the info! Yeah I kind of figured it was a fake when I read the horribly misspelled English translation on the back: "2005 Polydor Music Calproductons Entertainmein Ltd. All Reserved. all Rights Of The Manufactuer And Of The Reserved Wor... | |

| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle Not sure if anyone is paying attention to this thread anymore, but I just recently bought a used Linn AV 5105 (100W into 8 ohm) for about $500. Injected some life into my system. Nice sounding amp, especially for the price! | |
| Opinion on Linn AV 5105 I paid about $500 for mine and received it on Friday. Having auditioned it for a few days, I really like the sound of it. Injected some much needed power into my system. Works well driving my Triangle Cometes. | |
| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle I know this is kind of off topic, but since we've been discussing the use of tone controls, does anyone have experience using room correction processing hardware? | |
| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle I "had" a 15W CR Developments Kalypso integrated amp driving a pair of Energy C-3s and the sound was fantastic at low volumes ("had" because the amp is in serious need of repair - no sound and tubes arcing). Never felt the need to turn up the volu... | |
| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle I'll be honest, when I heard "tone controls" I threw up in my mouth a little bit...LOL! Unfortunately, I'm satisfied using the Peachtree for its DAC functionality so most likely I'll be keeping it as a pre. I have my MacBook hooked into the USB so... | |
| Power amp suggestions for Peachtree & Triangle The Cary CAD 200 looks like a nice amp. Here's a few others I'm considering:Wyred 4 sound ST-250Quad 909 or QSPBryston 3B STLyngdorf SDA-2175I guess I could also consider Peachtree's 220 power amp but I'm awfully nervous about going over the 200W ... | |
| Peachtree Decco 65 DAC observations Thanks for responses Mapman. I always loved the sound of my Arcam since I bought it new in 1999. What Hi*Fi? Product of the Year Award in 99-00 might have influenced me :)It just disappoints me that I bought this amp to utilize the built-in ESS Sa... |
