| What's the best way to clean vacuum tube pins? After discovering the merits of using a "MAJIC ERASER" product for cleaning styluses, I thought I would try using a piece of this material to carefully clean tube pins. Does an excellent job with no residual debris. Then I treat the sockets and pi... | |
| LUXMAN 505u? The L505u is an interesting piece of audio equipment. I decided to go that direction due to cabnitry constraints that prevented me from using a medium power tube amp. I bought the L505u on reputation. My speaker system is extremely hohographic wit... | |
| The Big Ayon Triton KT-88 Int Amp- tube rolling? My experience with GENALEX KT88'S has not been good. Also, with my AYON dealer and a couple of my friends. Catastrophic failures that end up taking out circuitry ending up with expensive repairs, depending upon the amp. Even my AYON dealer had his... | |
| The Big Ayon Triton KT-88 Int Amp- tube rolling? Try TUNGSRAM 12AU7's. You can get them through AYON or go to the internet for half the price. I paid the AYON price just to be certain I have certified tubes that are carefully matched and conditioned. KT88's is another matter. I am currently usin... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III I am not directly familiar with the performance of the ARC VSi60, never having owned one, but I do own a SPIRIT III. Without getting into immense detail, my overall impression of the sonic quality and overall performance of the SPIRIT III is not v... | |
| Rega P5 Upgrade:TTPSU,Platter Or Subplatter? I too own a P5 REGA and agree with some of the opinions, however I do not see much feedback concerning the cartridge being used by various people. I opted for the "EXACT" cartridge, largely due to the fact that it fell within my cost restrictions.... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? I have not had the pleasure to listen to the TAD REFERENCE monitor. They are "drop dead" gorgeous from the pictures. I have, however had time to listen to the MAGICO and KEF designs. Also, very fine speakers but perhaps not quite the cosmetic appe... | |
| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? I'm not certain if this is the CAYIN model that does require breaking the unit open from the bottom to bias, or not. I do know that this is the case with one of the CAYIN models, which is absurd to my way of thinking. Ask the CAYIN rep. (VAS AUDIO... | |
| Cayin A88T break in and biasing?? Have you contacted Steve at VAS Audio regarding the biasing? I can't answer you question but what is strange is that there is no biasing procedure in the user manual. I would think that infered autobiasing. But I was also warned about the fact tha... | |
| Ayre CX7-E vs Rega Saturn; your thoughts please I have heard the CX7-E extensively. It is an extremely fine player sonically though I respect the build quality more. If you have the money to spend you can't find much out there to equal the AYRE, however, I own (2) REGA SATURN players. Previousl... | |
| Van L Speakerworks Quartet An addendum to my comments previously submitted. For those of you who (after listening) do not think the QUARTETTES have enough BASS extension and power, John also has a proprietary matching sub-woofer created specifically to pair with the QUARTET... | |
| Van L Speakerworks Quartet I own a pair of recently manufactured QUARTETTES with all of the possible upgrades available. If you visit VanL SPEAKERWORKS, don't be put off by the somewhat disarrayed appearance of the place. John is a genius speaker designer, but somewhat of a... |
