| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hi Gary - Thanks for the insight on the 32-bit version of the APL vs. the AMR. Your results are encouraging. I only heard the AMR for 4-5 hours late one night in my system vs. the APL. And this was with the APL powered on for several days and the ... | |
| Which tube cd player do you like Why would you focus on a tube in the power supply?A tube in a CDP does not necessarily imply the tube is in the PS. However, tube PS regulation/rectification in preamps is a major transformation compared to "comparable" preamps with ss PS designs.... | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help i doubt one could detect the difference between pure gold and pure copper, assuming connectors and all other materials were the same.This is exactly the case with Jade Audio cables. JD uses the same manufacturing process in all his models for insu... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Hello Pete,I was in contact with Alex right after your original shootout here. I ultimately ended up getting your APL Denon. I had told Alex that I did not like the 6H30 tube and he told me he would consider updating this one and only unit to supp... | |
| Gold interconnect comparison help Wow, what a great response from John on the two cables. My Hybrid vs. Indra observations were parallel to John's Hybrid vs. Rapture. If the Hybrid had just a tiny bit more energy in the highest of the highs, I would consider it flawless....well of... | |
| How do I reduce gain on my preamp? Contact Audio Research as they may have a "resistor kit" to reduce the gain. The ARC LS5 MK III's gain could be changed between the nominal 12db and the higher 18db value with a pack of resistors. These easily replaced the existing ones on the PC ... | |
| Siemens CCa vs. Amperex PW 6922 Sirspeedy - I will be out for a week starting next week so I can let you have a listen to the pair of Amperex 6922 PQ PW white label I use in the Aria WV phono stage. Keep in mind, the tubes here are used in the MM stage as the WV uses SUT's for i... | |
| Genuine Telefunken? Sirspeedy...Thank you for the light kicks your sending my way. And yes, I am a sly Fox. 8-) But in all honesty, a year or so ago I played with the VTA on the Graham and on the Zeta (Pete Riggle device) and I did not hear the magnitudes of differen... | |
| Genuine Telefunken? Sirspeedy....I think you're in need of a vacation to Minnesota! I need help with my VTA. <8)~ | |
| Genuine Telefunken? Yes Hyperphono-less man (lol), I knew that. 8-)~ | |
| Genuine Telefunken? No matter what the "known,believed" excellence of anything audio is... You can be relied upon to basically come up with a new,not usually known/considered take on the subject!Wow, thank you.....I think! 8-) I've tried to behave myself since my "co... | |
| Replacements for Quad 989's ?? The reason I mentioned the A3 and not the M1/A1 was because Gammastrep mentioned he wanted this under $12k. And it was mentioned that the 989's are doing mighty fine in the listeners room other than a lack of low-end control. The M1/A1 speakers do... | |
| Replacements for Quad 989's ?? Sound Lab.....and how's this for a steal of a deal! I do not know the seller, just happened to see this. And the value here would allow you to upgrade the Bryston with electronics fit for these speakers, like the Atma MA-1's often here for $5k and... | |
| Genuine Telefunken? Sirspeedy - I was hoping to cost you some money last time with a new Hyperphono cable. 8-)~ A pair of PW's is small fry to that. As for CCAs, I have a pair of Valvo PW CCAs. I did not compare these to the Amperex 6922 PW in the Aria line stage as ... | |
| Genuine Telefunken? After reading as much as possible on the net about " NOS " tubes, have narrowed it down to Telefunken 12AX7 and 12AU7 for my Jadis DPL preampThis could be a disappointment if you do not audition other tubes. There's no way to know how the Tele mig... |
