| Blue Circle Gear? I don’t have experience with their preamps but did own a BC-204 amp that had issues. I would cringe every time I turned the amp on because I sometimes I would hear a loud pop noise. | |
| Recommendations for tube preamp (Emotive Audio Sira) repair in the Raleigh/Durham NC area? I had a Sira in my system for a short period. When Fred released the Epifania I moved up to that. If you ever want to take your Sira up a few notches you should speak with Fred about the CuTf V-Caps and the autoformer volume control. My Epifani... | |
| High Fidelity Sound Speaker As a Bache Audio Tribeca owner, I don't understand why more manufacturers don't use so called "full range" drivers as midrange drivers. I sold my PK rebuilt Quad 57s after 14 years because I felt that the Tribeca's were more enjoyable. Prior to he... | |
| Capital Audio Fest Notes I drive my Bache Audio Tribeca's with Emotive Audio Vita monoblocks. These are extremely well designed tube amps using 6550 tubes for about 50 watts per side. I have also had nice results using Pass Labs amps. But, IME, these speakers sing beautif... | |
| Does anyone have info on Innotech D-24 loudspeakers designed by Shahinian? I have owned Shahinian speakers and have spent time at the shop listening to music with Richard. On different occasions Richard had played music through a pair of Innotechs and another speaker he had designed for ADS that never went into productio... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above @bfoura One of these days I probably will switch cartridges on both tables. The only cartridge that I used with both tables was the Cadenza bronze. To my ears it sounded slightly leaner with the SL-1210. | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above For years I contemplated upgrading from my Gyrodec. I really like it’s airy lively sound. Last year my local dealer had one available SL-1210GAE so I bought it. The first cartridge I used was an Ortofon Cadenza bronze. Now I’m using a Kiseki purpl... | |
| Tang Band 2145 in action I’m one of Greg’s customers. My Bache Audio Tribeca’s replaced a PK rebuilt pair of Quad 57’s. The Tang Band drivers in my speakers are modified by Greg and augmented by 2 woofers and a super tweeter. I can testify that the midrange in my speakers... | |
| USPS records delivery delays 3 months ago an LP I ordered was damaged in transit and sent back to the seller and another LP never showed up. 6 weeks ago I ordered a CD from a seller 20 miles away and tracking says it will be delivered later then expected. | |
| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? Years ago I drove the Parsifal Encore monitors with Atma-Sphere M60 MKII monoblocks and it was a wonderful combination. | |
| VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks I would contact Ben Jacoby in Brooklyn NY. (718) 377- 8010. He specializes in tube amp repairs and I believe he's the authorized repair person for Audio Note tube gear. It's a bit of a hike from Philly but maybe you can ship to him. | |
| Your favorite KT 150 based amplifier? I would like to demo Alexus Audio’s 150 mono blocks. | |
| CD Player Recommendations… I just ordered a Bryston BCD-3. In your price range I would look at the Rega Apollo. | |
| Bache Audio Metro 001 Upgrade When Greg replaced the stock woofers in my Tribeca’s with the Eton drivers the bass improved dramatically. He also did a simple tweak to the crossover that improved on the midrange. This change was subtle compared to the woofers. A few weeks ago G... | |
| CDP or DAC? I just ordered the Bryston BCD-3 CD Player a few days ago. The majority of my listening has been listening to LPs. I like swapping cartridges (Lrya, Ortofon and Kiseki). I do have over 2000 CDs, and the many of the classical CDs are not available... |
