| how many own Belles Virtuoso amp and preamp? and what's your experience? I have two Belles amps from the 80's: a 50 watt and a 150 watt. Excellent build and sound quality! I believe that David Belles around that time also built amps for OCM. | |
| Power cable for Ferrum Hypsos @steakster : unlike you I am not an engineering/science denier. Go back listening to your fuse collection. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier ASR did a test where a highly distorted AC voltage (which would never be found in any home AC line) was connected to the AC input of an Audio Precision 555 distortion analyser. The AP 555 performed flawlessly! Science again disproves an irrational... | |
| Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story That's a good engineered recording! Rod's first two recordings (The Rod Stewart Album and Gasoline Alley) are also recommended listening. | |
| Vibration Control Your head and particularly your teeth vibrate. Why not wear wrestler's protective headgear and plastic mouthpiece? Wouldn't you then hear more minute musical details? | |
| Vibration Control Hearsay belief not scientifically validated. | |
| JBL L-200T3 original owner Cones don't deteriorate from storage. Foam surrounds can and do. | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? Don't sell the Goldmund amp until you use it for awhile with the Sabrina's. You might find it perfectly satisfying! | |
| wandering azimuth on Well Tempered Table Another bad arm design. Free to move in all planes. Sell the turntable because you can't change the arm. Get a turntable with a proper four-point gimbel arm. | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? Are those made from digital files? If so, you might just as well buy the CD's. | |
| Dual 505-4 or Thorens TD280 Mk IV? Right now on eBay there is a Dual 505 - 3 with an Ortofon Super OM 20 cartridge for $200 and free shipping from a seller in Philadelphia. I'd buy that one instead of the two you list above. | |
| Solid State Power Amps NYAL (New York Audio Labs) Moscode 600 uses a tube input/driver stage connected to a Mosfet output stage. 300wpc. I have the Moscode 150 - 75wpc. Designed by George Kaye. Go to the Stereophile archives to read the review of the Moscode 300. | |
| Digital vs Analog experiment Did you match levels with a volt meter? "By the ear" is not good enough! The louder sample will always sound better. | |
| KLH model nine full range speakers The last amp I used with my Nines was the Carver Receiver - 135wpc. Bass impact was enough to shake the floor! | |
| KLH model nine full range speakers I have a pair of KLH Nines. You don't need much power. The difference between 40 watts and 60 watts is miniscule. You say the original owner was using a Marantz tube amp? The 8B? That amp is 35wpc. Doubling the power in watts to 70 will only give ... |
