| 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... | |
| Review: Aria WV5 XL (Line Stage only) Tube preamp Hi Bart....I think I need another 20 or so pages for the Phd thesis.....so it scales down to just a Masters project. 8-)Bybee products indeed. JD of Jade Audio plays with these in his cables. And Steve at GNSC added these to the Manley DAC and the... | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables I'll back my statement up with some evidence...Cambridge Audio, for example, supply all their components with a standard power cord, yet make a point of NOT including interconnects. That clearly means they have no issue with a standard PC, but kno... | |
| Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable. Sirspeedy - I would not be too focused on materials, i.e., silver is good and gold is bad. The Jade Hybrid IC which uses a combination of these materials is an exemplary performer unlike any other IC I have tried. And another IC I tried at the sam... | |
| Purist Proteus Provectus tonearm cable. Sirspeedy....The Hyperphono is a fabulous product indeed. I'd be willing to bet that the Graham 2.2/Hyperphono could match and possibly outperform the Phantom/IC-70 in many ways. When you hear the clarity brought on by the Hyperphono, the result i... | |
| Review: Aria WV5 XL (Line Stage only) Tube preamp Thank you Spencer. I have noticed that a number of friends have changed their preamp more frequently than other system components. I am counting on the WV and SA-2 to get me off the preamp upgrade path for quite some time. I see that you have the ... |
