| new kt 90s any good ? Well you can be the first. I've never heard the EH KT90, but have heard they pale in comparison to the EH KT88. My favorite octal power tube of all time was the Ei KT90, but they are long out of production and difficult to obtain at reasonable pri... | |
| New Aluminum Platter from VPI haven't heard it, but i know it's compatible with the periphery ring and it can be used on the scoutmaster. from what i recall, the cost of the platter is $700, but you get a $200 credit if you return your acrylic platter. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century chevlam:i can't recall which is the hot for the balanced outputs, but you should be emailing mick for some of these questions. i've emailed him twice already with some basic questions regarding tube compatibilities and he's always responded in les... | |
| Looking For New Component Sstand i'm fond of core audio furniture mod3 racks. they're not cheap ($975 for a 3 shelf version), but the construction is solid and they are beautiful. arnold is a pleasure to deal with as well. | |
| Ripping Multiple Cd's why don't you download tag&rename and use it for 30 days to edit your multiple cd's metadata as you see fit and then spend $30 after the trial expires? | |
| VPI Scoutmaster Super Platter i asked vpi recently about upgrading my scoutmaster platter to the newer aluminum platter or the super platter. they responded that the aluminum platter was $500 if you return the acrylic platter or $700 if you keep your platter. they stated that ... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? i guess i'm a wall plugger then. i connect my system to a BPT 3.5 signature. before the BPT, i had an audible hum due to the SET tubes used in my preamp. after installing the BPT, the hum was immediately gone. so hearing was believing for me. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century amandarae:he still responds to supra@supratek.biz. | |
| USPS Priority Mail i've had fedex damage a package. i've never had usps damage anything. my only qualm with priority mail is it's quite pricey for very heavy items, but you get what you pay for. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century chelvam:if i'm not mistaken, when looking at the back of the chardonnay, the two sets of rca jacks to the right are preout 1 & 2. then the sets starting from the left are inputs 1, 2, 3, 4. there may be a tape loop in there somewhere between i... | |
| Something fun to listen to... i have their new album on cd and vinyl as well as the 10" single and it's all fabulous. great music and just fun all around. | |
| CD transport vs streamer? my squeezebox/47 labs shigaraki dac performed sonically equivalent to my previous 47 labs shigaraki transport/dac combo. the jason is a far cry above the shig. transport though. of course, comparing a $300 streamer to a $10k+ transport is like com... | |
| How good of a DAC is the Logitech Transporter logitech offers a 30 day money back guarantee on the transporter. just do a head to head in your own system so you don't have to rely on other's opinions. it might be a bit of a hassle to have to ship it back, but you'll gain firsthand knowledge w... | |
| Aragon Soundstage lost surround channels... Next? the emotiva umc-1 looks like a great processor at $700 on paper at least. i'm not even sure if it's hit the streets though.http://emotiva.com/umc1.shtm | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century chelvam:i was wondering what was up with that site as it was horribly made. i hope mick didn't pay much for that. good luck with you chardonnay. i owned one, but sold it and moved up to a dual cabernet. now that i'm getting into vinyl, i sometimes... |
