| Best pre-amp with a C-J Premier 11a Amp would agree with georgehifi, the 3A can sound good but is a pita to use. and those vol controls always get noisy over time. I used to have a Prem 11a, ran it with the 3A, and a few others. Last pre I used with it was the PL Dialogue premium, which... | |

| Jupiter Copper Foil, Paper & Wax Cap Versus Jensen Cap 0.10uF 630Vdc Copper Foil Ceramic Bob,Have used both Jupiter and Jensen in a number of my own amps and amps I have upgraded for friends. would agree with jmolsberg, the Jupiter copper caps are really good souning caps; very organic sounding. The Jensens are very similar, maybe a t... | |
| Reel to reel don't forget, 30ips half inch was the original standard on Ampex machines back in the early 1950s, 15 and 7.5 came later. And yes, 30 ips is very nice. I have a few masters of 1/2 inch at 30 ips, and they do sound wonderful...The big drawback is 1... | |
| How much difference will a phono stage upgrade make? 12hz, before you start dropping coin on a new phono stage, you may want to look at the load resistors in your current model. Replace them with Vishay foils and you will be shocked at the reduction in noise, and improvement in low level detail with... | |
| Reputable source for Nagaoka MP110? have had excellent luck with LPgear dot com.they are out in the Vegas area, so if you are in the western US really fast shipping, eastern US is a few days longer, but always prompt service. | |
| Reel to reel as far as output level, as several posters already noted, the consumer output level was established as -10db, while the pro level was established at +4 db. so considerable difference. if you plug a pro level deck into a consumer level pre amp, wil... | |
| Parasound service problems yep, Erik is correct. call them. very good service. if one channel is out, likely not a huge problem. I have owned several pieces of Parasound gear over the years. all of it was built very well. and never had an issue...... | |
| Reel to reel I used to have a 377. Nice deck. they benefit greatly from film bypasses on the interstage coupling caps and a fresh power supply rebuild. | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS don't forget if you want to get more of an organic sound from the PL amps or any amp for that matter, need to replace the coupling caps with Jensen or Jupiter copper foil caps. Not sure about the latest EVO amps but the dialogue and prologue used ... | |
| Reel to reel wynpalmer4,don't forget, a properly maintained and aligned deck is not the same as a hot rod deck. they are quite different. I have an 820, a pair of MTR-15s and numerous other decks. The stock decks are inferior sonically to those same models tha... | |

| cartridge question have both. some would say the ART is a bit more extended, with the benz being on the warmer side, but also need to watch the loading. If lightly loaded the ART can seem thin and extended. with proper loading a great cart. would have to say the ART... | |
