| Placette 100K volume control, problem solved BTW - Guy has a trade-up program. If you wanted to trade up to the active version, and your passive is in mint condition, I believe he offers full retail credit towards a trade upwards. Double check to see if that offer is still valid, but I do th... | |
| Placette 100K volume control, problem solved Drubin - I think both the output of the source, and the input of the amp need to be taken into consideration. I think Herman is far more qualified to speak on that stuff judging from some of his contributions here. Ultimately Guy at Placette would... | |
| Placette 100K volume control, problem solved Congrats on your discovery Herman! I completely agree with your acessment of the Placette. I started using one about a month ago and am absolutely amazed and delighted with the results. I liken it to opening a slightly dirty window - there is no l... | |
| What tube amp for starting out? Good research Grant. Yes, with a significant dip in the lower midrange you might need a bit more muscle than your Dynaco can muster. I would sooner try more compatible speakers rather than sell off the Dynaco gear. But I don't know what of your sy... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's Jax2 : putting the KR brand on a Tesla tube is not what i call making a tube.KR rebranded some KT88 but never did one.Ah, well forgive me for not telepathically being able to interpret your personal standards. As I understood it, Riccardo Kron con... | |
| What tube amp for starting out? I would address those speakers, and leave the other components for now. Replace the speakers with a pair of used Klipsch Forte II's or Chorus II's and I'll bet you'll be cooking with gas for the kind of music you like. Those speakers do very well ... | |
| What tube amp for starting out? If I had any component that was "dead in the midrange" it would not be in my system very long. Boy, if you don't have the midrange right, then it will be very easy to find an amp that does better. I heard a friend's modified Dynaco many, many year... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's 11-30-06: NdeslionsWarrenh : i don't think KR ever made a KT88.I believe they did. It was made in the Tesla factory.Marco | |
| Your music system is an instrument. but now my Sonicare tastes like crapWrong end in the wrong hole. If you only have one Sonicare to do double duty, I'd suggest marking the two ends with different colored tape to give you a quick visual reference. Of course if you don't wash the th... | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... Just been listening to Dolly Parton on SACD - Little Sparrow - where she does a wonderful version of "Shine" (Collective Soul) - Vocals are outstanding on this recording.I agree on HDCD and XRCD too - the quality is usually outstanding. I've had q... | |
| KT88 recom. for quicksilver mini mono's I liked the JJ Tesla's over the Svet C's in those amps. Sorry to have to add yet one more option to your responses here. It's been too long to know my reasons, but I do remember that preference. Shoot Mike Sanders an email - it may take a day or t... | |
| Your music system is an instrument. ...my Sonicare is a butt plug.Slap that puppy on a wooden base and you've got yourself a vibrating Perch™! I think we'll have ourselves a new and imroved version! I'll need to do some R&D, but I like the way you think, Howard. We'll talk about... | |
| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? I am Curious about adding the USB interface to a Audiomirror / Dac-ah ? is there a way to get it modded to add the usb direct, even if you have to eliminate the toslink or coax digital board ?You may want to contact Vlad at Audio Mirror about that... | |
| Interfacing Computer Music to D/A Converter ? As pointed out, you do not need to spend a ton of cash on a good (USB) DAC, especially if cosmetic issues are not that important. Along with the usual suspects, offering some choices in the $1000+ categories (Wavelength, Empirical, Apogee, Hagerma... | |
| Active Placette pre sound better than Passive? Pubul57 - I noticed you had a CAT ultimate in your system and are now selling it. Can you compare the sound of the CAT with that of the RVC in your system?Marco |
