| SUT With a Manley Steelhead RC? The biggest improvement I made in my Steelhead (and it was huge) was swapping out the original tubes to Siemens CCA grey plates and Bendix 6900s. Granted, the Bendixes are hard to find these days (also sold as Mu, I believe), but those changes eli... | |
| AMR CD-77 anyone tried rolling the tubes? jasonmcguire,Sorry to come (a few years) late to the party, but after reading your post, I just replaced the stock 5687s in my CD-77.1 with Bendix 6900s, switched from Digital Master II to I, and it's easily the most natural digital I've ever hear... | |
| Tube rolling ARC amps & Steelhead mmrkaic,1) no, and2) no.The topic of this (ancient) thread is the sound of different tubes, and respondents' enjoyment or lack thereof of various tubes in the specified equipment. The topic is not about objectively measuring anything. (Almost) eve... | |
| Tonearm for Luxman PD 441 I have a PD-441 with a Fidelity Research FR64s, the optional vertical height adjuster, and a Yamaha MC-1s moving coil cartridge. It is my second-tier table, but I am very pleased with (and actually surprised at) how good these pieces sound togethe... | |
| Manly Steelhead - any downside?? nkonor,I rolled a LOT of tubes when I got my Steelhead (~ 2005). I ultimately had no difficulty settling on Siemens CCa's and Bendix/Mu 6900's. Siemens was definitely more revealing than Telefunken. The 6900's were much cleaner than any other tube... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Chakster,I can't answer your question directly, because I haven't heard the Technics, but I think I can contribute something meaningful. I have the little brother of the PD-444, the PD-441. I think it has the same motor as the PD-444, but holds on... | |
| Keith Emerson of ELP.....Rest in Peace! Thank you for letting us know. I was in high school when ELP were at their peak, but I still enjoy their albums today. Saw them one time, August Jam, 1974, Charlotte Motor Speedway, 400,000 people, not ideal venue, but enjoyed it nonetheless. RIP. | |
| Tube amps with Apogee Scintilla's your thoughts ? Convergent Audio Technology Statements into 1-ohm Scintillas, heaven! | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? Mgattmch,I can't comment on Divas, but I have a pair of 1-ohm Scintillas which I bought secondhand, and I'm pretty sure they were refurbished by TSW. I drive them with Ken Stevens' JL-3 Statement monoblock tube amps, and I am one happy camper. I n... | |
| Arm and cartridge for Brinkmann Balance I have not listened on the Brinkmann, but within a short period I heard in my home on the Acoustic Signature Final Tool Mk II (not the ultimate table, but certainly far from the worst), the SME V (first tonearm on the table), Triplanar (whatever i... | |
| Help with Acoustat Model 1 + 1 CAT JL-3 monoblocks | |
| Help with Acoustat Model 1 + 1 Loomis,You may want to experiment with tubes driving your 1+1s, especially if you have a friend who will loan you an amp(s). They won't produce the bass that that giant Carver will, but that 3-D magic will likely get even better. I've had various ... | |
| Teo XLR You're welcome,Tbg. One thing I forgot to mention, all my ICs are RCA, CATs won't take XLR. | |
| Teo XLR I've been an Audiogon member for many years, and don't post much, but I just discovered this thread, and would like to contribute.I met Brian Walsh (Essentialaudio) when I purchase a Kuzma 4-point tonearm from him some years ago. He introduced me ... | |
| Swiss amps Mike,Please clarify, which is the "best amp you've heard," the stereo dart or the 458's? |
