| tube choice for Audible Illusions L1 You will get much smoother sound with NOS 6922 like Amperex etc. As you are probably aware however, these preamps are tough on tubes and it is not cost effective having to replace NOS tubes every 6-12 months.You might consider some Herbie's Audio ... | |
| New Transport Suggestions for Bitstream DAC I am having good look with a Pioneer PD-65. Uses stable platter mechanism. Audio Alchemy DTI pro in line with the signal to clean up jitter and then on to dac. | |
| Any TAD-150 Signature Fans Still Out There? I still own mine and see no reason to replace it. I upgraded the cheap remote to a nicer backlit learning remote. I rolled a lot of different tubes in it, including a bunch of NOS tubes and in the end put the stock tubes back in because they sound... | |
| Sound cuts out occasionally in my system My guess is bad contact on the preamp tubes. I would try a different preamp if available. If that's not possible I would clean the tube pins with contact cleaner and clean the sockets with a pipe cleaner and contact cleaner. This has worked for me... | |
| How to transfer LP to iMAC Computer I agree with Docdan50 as this is the method I use with pretty good results. The free software I use is Final Vinyl. You will need to get one of those rca y jacks to stereo mini for the connection. | |
| Music Reference RM200 - Running so hot I have an RM9MKII and after 3 hours of play I can't leave my hand on the top plate either. Going on over 12 years now with nary a hiccup. My feeling is if the output tube plates aren't glowing I wouldn't be overly concerned, but you should check y... | |
| Is loud needle talk good or bad? What is the cartridge? | |
| CDP choices-Looking for advice Regarding Buconero117's post, I have been unable to locate the Sony595 on the Sonystyle website. It shows as discontinued. If it is still available please provide a link or stop recommending a player that is no longer available. | |
| How To Ship Heavy Speakers With Insurance? I second freightcenter.com. I shipped a 550lb pair of speakers strapped to a pallet from Miami to Texas (hope I never have to do that again). Total cost was $450 and they picked up from my house. The carrier was R&L. | |
| What is the best sounding CD Changer. Anthem CD-1 | |
| Merlins VSM placement question Put a piece of tape on the floor to mark the current location of the speakers. Now move them around to your hearts content. When finished go back to original position to compare and see if you have improved the sound to your liking. | |
| Salk Speakers - Opinions & Advice? I think you just answered your own question, but if you are seeking some validation I would tend to agree with your accessment. I do feel his cabinets are unparalled in build quality. About the best I have ever seen. Especially considering the cost. | |
| Quietest BUDGET high-current power cord? I would have to concur with Rlxl's response regarding the Pangea 9 from Audio Advisor. Looks and sounds like a much more expensive cord. When I opened the box, I did a double take. 30 day money back return. See comments on Audiogon previously. Muc... | |
| Dac with very good tonefull bass? I could not disagree more with wireless200's statement that the bass sound is more related to the power amp than the dac. I have a PS audio DL III a Lite Audio DAC60 and a MHDT paradisea+. The DAC60 has noticeably more bass, the Paradisea+ sounds ... | |
| Best speakers for home theater/voice clarity? This is very strange. The best thing about my VR4 genII's is the midrange/highs and unbelievable wall to wall soundstage I get. The bass is almost pathetic and I have been forced to use subs to get the bass where I want it. I believe the issue may... |
