| "Search Option" suggestion for AudioGon I thought of this post when I saw a post on what's available on a $5000 budget. This should help narrow things down I think.Spellchecker, why not. I for one could use someone with good english and typing skills. | |
| Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners. I'm not web saavy enough to find the real names behind these "handles" Glreno lists in one of the posts(mickeykaiser, davidknight, johnbrighton, afrank, dave2k, robertshef, johnbroughton, angelo_calic, andrewsmith, stophatin11@aol.com). But these ... | |
| Lower gain in left channel. Thought I'd pass this along -- just spoke to the distributor of my amp. While speaking to him I realized one other variable in this problem. The power tubes (2 pairs of 6C33C-B) in my amp are not a matching quad. This could potentially be a proble... | |
| Lower gain in left channel. Jwrobinson - I tried switching cables (ICs and Spkr cables) but the problem persisted. What it looks like is the right channel of my amp. Wondering what could the repaire man have done to it while he replaced the capacitor, if anything. Or is it p... | |
| Lower gain in left channel. I'm experiencing the same problem. I was getting a constant hum from the right channel of my OTL amp. I took it in for repair. Apparently one of the capacitors (there are 2 per channel on my amp) on the right side had gone bad and needed replaceme... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Haven't been a jazz or a classical officianado by any means but based on recommendations here, I went and bought a Dianna Krall CD "Look of Love" - listened to it for 3-days straight, for the music and for the recording. I just put in a order for ... | |
| Any opinions on Copland CDA 289 CD player? I've had this unit for 8-months now. Compared it to Cary 303 at time of purchase. I prefered the COPLAND in sound and certainly in looks. This unit is much larger than Cary CD players. Don't own a HDCD, therefore, never saw the HDCD LED light go on. | |
| a new amp hum problem...checked the archives A bad, leaky or not screwed in tightly capacitors can also generate hum from an amp (alone) through speakers. In my instance, the hum was a constant one. After replacing the capacitor the hum went away...Good luck! | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Wsin - We're on the same boat. My deposit is dated March 29th. | |
| Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ? Just as an FYI, besides the Atma-Sphere all of the amps mentioned above including my existing amp Graaf GM20 OTL are all based on 6C33C output tubes -- hmmm!!!. I'm also looking into a relatively unknown company here in side of the globe by the na... | |
| Kharma Ceramic 1.0 speaker with Atma Sphere Amps ? I auditioned the CE 1.1 (the newest) with Lamm's 6C33C output tube based (18-wpc) monoblocks about 3 months back but I ended up buying the CE 2.2 just because of cost and also size due mostly to WAF. I just received (FYI - I'm the 1st owner in USA... | |
| Used records/CDs in NYC? In addition, there are these "Disco Rama" shops scattered about town where new CD's of popular labels cost $10. There is one located at W 4th St. between Grove & Jones streets. There are several more used CD/Record shops in this area of west v... | |
| Best looking / worst looking amps & preamps Don't know about being the "best" but very fine looking (and sounding) nonetheless: Preamp/Amp: Graaf 13.5B, Graaf GM-20 OTL (stereo block) -- I own this (italian) preamp/amp combo at the moment. Also Supratek "Syrah" preamps are something to look... | |
| New stuff from spain selling at less then used Repeating what Justlisten said - isn't there a way to get some help from audiogon or better yet from Pass Lab directly? In my view, the only way these prices can possibly be real is if this guy is (or was) a dealer who now wants out, but Pass Lab ... | |
| Best female vocals on CD If you're not a traditionalist (ie: jazz & classical) give (Amplified Heart - album) by (Everything But The Girl - band". The voice is Tracey Thorn's. I think you can place her along with "Margo Timmins of cowboy junkie", Sade and the like. |
