| Tubes for Nagra VPA JWK, I received your email but I'll use some Audiogon bandwidth and reply here as the bias adjustment seems to be a FAQ that has been asked before and in fact another Audiogoner helped me out with this as well.For this adjustment refer only to the... | |
| Tubes for Nagra VPA I've been told well over 5000 hours for both the small tubes and the carefully selected stock Sino 845's. I doubt that you would need to change your tubes at least from the perspective of tube life.I agree that the owner manual's description of th... | |
| Tubes for Nagra VPA You have the factory tubes installed. There was a mistake in Scull's review and even the owner's manual where they describe the small tubes as ECC82 and ECC83. You should use an E182CC and NOT the ECC82/12AU7 as mentioned in the other sources as t... | |
| You used to love it but now....................... I used to listen a lot to Yes, ELO, Pink Floyd and Genesis (Selling England by the Pound saw a tremendous amount of time on the Technics) in my youth. I still have a few of these albums others having been lost, stolen, damaged. Frankly they just d... | |
| name this CD player please? I think it's a Classe Omega. | |
| Cable elevators I stumbled into a restaurant supply store over the holidays and walked out with 18 porcelain sugar packet holders, the kind that you see in old fashioned coffee shoppes rather than at a Starbucks. They are now "lifting" my speaker cables and 20' o... | |

I think this speaker is really quite flexible in terms of amplification but I have no familiarity with the Chord; you certainly have eno... | |
| Turntable suggestions Consider a used Well Tempered Original or Classic. I sorta regret selling mine. | |
| Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset Wilsons...the bigger the better. On a more modest scale, ProAcs. This is one area where box speakers have it all over panels. | |
| Ground loop, cheater plugs, power cords, many ques Blue Circle makes power cords that have a box to allow for defeating the ground and/or reversing the polarity. Check their website. I have a couple of slightly better quality,cryo'ed 3 to 2 prong adaptors that I obtained from Virtual Dynamics. | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? MIT MI-330's. Still have a few pair...in the closet. | |
| Exceptional Recording of Carmina Burana The Clemencic Consort version on Harmonia Mundi is a little different and enjoyable. | |
| Neutrally sounding CDP with a good resolution? Hi Dmitrydr,I looked at this and your other related thread. I'm glad you're enjoying the Satoris. Right now you're working on two variables ie the CDP and the IC. I'd change your IC first. I think you'll be pleased at how the Matrix Ref (short run... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? I like the forums. In the olden days we would hang out at stores and talk audio with fellow 'philes, dealers, manufacturers' reps etc. Colorful characters and interesting ideas. Now, although I'm not necessarily persona non grata, I feel a little ... | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack Sweet and Lowdown from the Woody Allen movie of around 3 years ago. If you like Django/Pizzarellis eg., this is a good one. Marvellous sound; it was produced by Dick Hyman. |
