| What's next after Dynavector 20XL? Thanks for the useful information. | |
| Dylan's Voice/ Better Now? I saw Dylan way back in the early days when he was starting to become a star. I think this concert was the first time I saw people light matches (not cell phones) waving to the music. Of course the matches were already out for other purposes (a de... | |
| What's next after Dynavector 20XL? Inna, my system is almost all DIY or modified but here goes. I am using a modified Technics SL1210 with a stock arm that has been re-wired with Cardas and internally damped. The phono interconnects have also been changed to custom, low capacitance... | |
| mfsl vs. classic records I agree with Stevecham and would also add that there have been significant differences within each label's time frame: for example, early MFSLs were pressed by JVC in Japan, then their UHQR and GAIN. Classic Records also went through various vinyl... | |
| GIK, Rives, Real Traps I would check if there is a local representative of Rives (or similar) in your area. While you will get excellent advice from Real Traps, etc. I believe that audio is so very complex that it needs someone on the spot - with proper training and equ... | |
| Would this work for two conductor power cable? Thanks Elizabeth, I hadn't thought of the insulation at all as I was concentrating on the wire gauge; so I won't use it.I wasn't going to take the ground off my amp. It is only a two-conductor device at the moment. | |
| Noobie. Vinyl reissues. Am I expecting too much? Trehane, I understand what you are getting at and have found that some manufacturers of "new" vinyl face the problems of sloppy execution that plague many products. Some high-priced LPs have arrived with warped edges (which can be put down to pull... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE other Stan Getz recordings (LPs) would you recommend for similar sonic quality and musicality? | |
| What is your favorite tv theme song/composition? There are some really great themes on the list that I like but two from my childhood are : The Lone Ranger (William Tell Overture) and of course Roy Rogers "Happy Trails". | |
| Time Has Come Today-The Chambers Brothers I always used to think that the words were "Time Has Company...;) | |
| Danny Boy - Recommendations I haven't seen any music by Dennis Day for a long while but will always remember his singing. | |
| What causes speaker cone to extend when... Both the preamp and amp use vacuum tubes (the amp also has a tube rectifier). The preamp phono stage is a Tetra circuit by John Broskie with an Aikido line stage also by Broskie. The amp is a Bob Latino Dynaco-clone ST-120.I don't think I turned o... | |
| What causes speaker cone to extend when... This only happened when I first started listening to music after making the changes. After a few moments the speakers settled into their normal "duty" and didn't go through the "hiccups" again. | |
| Should I Try a Tube Preamp? Here I am, a year later and many changes to my system. I went the DIY route for, mainly, two reasons: (1) I could gather better quality parts over time and save $$ using my labor to construct, and (2) The opportunity to learn - a little - about el... | |
| Phono pre recommendations for Technics SL1210M5G Recently I DIYed a vacuum tube preamp using John Broskie's Tetra phono stage and his Aikido line stage. The tubes I'm using for the phono stage are Telefunken 12AX7 and Amperex 12AT7 (D-getter) while the line stage uses Amperex Bugle Boy 12AU7s. T... |
