| Ultimate Cables no more? I know when I bought some of their cables, they took a long time to arrive, but the website being missing is disturbing. | |
| Suggestions for a tube integrated under $3000 Some good recommendations already. Have you thought about something like the MastersounD KT88 or EL34 amps? | |
| Tube Preamps? If you want the classic/warm tube sound, a Conrad Johnson PV-5 or and ARC SP3 would be great. Both ARC and CJ will still support/update these products with their top-flite service. A friend of mine used a VTL 2.5 with 2C's (he recently moved on to... | |
| FORT WORTH , TEXAS I know I'm planning to attend, and Dean has mentioned it as well. I certainly look forward to it. | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 Miketuason - If you don't feel like replacing all the tubes, the most important place for the 5751's would be to replace the 2 12AX7's in the phono stage. Theoretically, they'd make the biggest difference there as the decrease in noise would be mo... | |
| Entry Level Turntable-- Preamp Matching I think the V-LPS could last you through the entire life cycle of your RP1. I don't think the V-LPS is truly outclassed by the RP3 or even the new RP6. I'd save the money until you're into your next complete upgrade cycle. The V-LPS holds up with ... | |
| Coconut-Audio tweeks Like I've said, they do seem to affect the sound in some manner, but it's like giving someone a bottle of Vitamin Water and telling them it will cure cancer, aids, and E.D. | |
| Coconut-Audio tweeks I picked up one of his products before the new year when they were being auctioned off for next to nothing - mostly just an throw away to see if they did anything at all. It does actually change the sound. It's more than noticeable in a blind A/B ... | |
| Need preamp recommendation I would probably snap up the Rogue, but I also haven't heard and Parasound products. I just haven't had the opportunity. From what I've read about them, Parasound seems to be a solid company. | |
| Marantz 2270 overhaul I've already looked through that site and intend to take advantage of his resources. I've also found a guy who upgrades the preamp section, and there's a few other tweaks I'm going to try. Thanks Calbrs03 and Nonoise for your interest and help. I ... | |
| New way of dealing with Low Ballers? I'm not a huge fan of eBay, but they've added a functionality to their "make an offer" sales that seems like the best solution. It's just an email filter that immediatly bounces back a decline offer if it's below a predetermined amount. If the off... | |
| 12ax7 vs 5751 From what I know, different models are best from different sources. For instance the best "Amperex" 5AR4's were from GB (they're actually rebadged Mullards). Their best 6DJ8 was from Holland. Also keep in mind that Amperex never actually made a tu... | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? Sumaato, I'm just using a Musical Fidelity V-LPS for now. It actually sounds quite good. I haven't tried any other cartridges with this table - just the Blue Point 2. I've been considering trying something else, but I just can't decide (plus the B... | |
| Need preamp recommendation If you end up with a preamp with balanced outs, then that's what you should use. If not, RCA to 1/4" cables would work, but make sure it's the actual cable - don't just use RCA to 1/4" adapters.Here's a few more preamp suggestions:- Sonic Frontier... | |
| Need preamp recommendation What inputs does your PC2002M have? All that I have seen only have balanced and 1/4" inputs. You could replace the 1/4" jacks with RCA inputs if you found a preamp you really want for a good deal, but if you don't want to make a switch like that, ... |
