| ARC VT-50 Damage/Repair Advice For the record...they have agreed, to let me send them new tubes; and repair and "try" to bias from them. I say "try", because they have warned me...they will be testing the tubes, and reserve the right to reject anything they don't feel is up to ... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? There are 3 or 4 levels of adjustment with the Zero-Autotransformers. Perhaps the level was not the correct one. Is that possible? I am puzzled about your lack of success with the Speltz. How did this control problem manifest itself in terms of SQ... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? The Atma-Sphere S-30 drives the Raidho C1.1s with more than enough headroom thanks to Paul Speltz Zero-Autotransformers.I never understood why adding a transformer to an OTL just to make it work. Either buy a bigger OTL or different type of amp IM... | |
| CV181 6SN7 ModWight CD Player ? 08-24-15: DoakI suggest, even urge, you to invest in a pair of Black Treasure CV 181. I've used them in amps, i my current preamp and IMO they beat my stable of some of the "best of the best" old stock 6SN7.Yep, This mirrors my experience rolling ... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? 08-25-15: DevilboyEven if all the components in your system are from the same brand, that doesn't mean that they all react the same to a specific brand of power cord. One company's cord could work magic on a preamp, but lifeless on their amp. To a... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? I do not run ICs in series anymore. So that was not an issue.So you FINALLY see (hear) the light? I guess there's hope for you afterall. LOL!Nothing wrong with Atmasphere but now you need an amp that can drive your speakers to its potential. | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? But isn't the Shunyata not current limiting as well? They all claim not current limiting but you really need to demo in your system and decide. I know many are very happy with Shunyata Triton.What's your budget for PCs? I prefer a mixture of PCs v... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? 08-22-15: StringreenYou will probably get better sound by eliminating all that stuff, and going directly into the wall. Personally, I have never met a power conditioner that didn't screw up the sound of my system.I was in the same boat until I tri... | |
| Would adding a pre back into the system eliminate No but it could mask it, and if it masks it, it will no doubt mask other things as well such as your new found detail.Your experiment was a good one going direct from your Bel Canto 2.5 into your amp, as you say you have more detail, but what that... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? I tried to work with Hegel and the dealer for months. They would not budge. Both insisted there must be something wrong with my system. They insisted I eliminate whatever was preventing the H20 from integrating with my system. The only problem is ... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? 08-21-15: Denon1Couple years ago I bought brand new Hegel amp (HS4A). from the first time I plugged it in, it started to develop smell coming from the unit. In spite of my concerns and complains, Hegel kept saying it is normal and nothing should b... | |
| Hegel Design Flaw? Sorry it was not posted -- I stated the problem in an earlier post that was deleted. The problem was one channel producing distorted sound or no sound at all. Hegel first hung up on me calling my case "bulls**t". Then they agreed to talk to me to ... | |
| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. I hear no grain on the FPB in my system and Knghifi that is why your sound was dark because of the MIT. I always hear this with MIT and the other company.Probably your system is MUCH SUPERIOR to my pre Agon OLD system :-) I'm sure quality of assoc... | |
| Tom Cruise 08-12-15: IsochronismShakey,Schubert will explain himself after you GET OFF HIS LAWN!!!!!!!! :)Shakey, how's OCCUPY SCHUBERT LAWN going? You're a reflection of this IMPERIAL UNJUST BIG BAD country. LOL!!! | |
| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. I had a FPB 600 for years and compare to latest SS, it's a bit grainy and dark but still a terrific amp. The only reason I sold it is to try something different. It sounds great with everything include 100 db Avantgardes. You can hear and feel sta... |
