| Best MC Cartridge Pairing for Technics SL-1210 GAE? I have tried many MM and MC cartridges on my Technics table. Then I tried a DS Audio 003 optical cart. I was so smitten by this sound I then bought the DS Grand Master and I’m set forever. This is the best sound I’ve ever heard from a TT period. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? I’m still want some KLH Nines | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I sold my DHT preamp so I now have a pair of Elrog 300B and a pair of KR T-100 tubes laying around if anyone is interested. | |
| Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme? My dealer tells me that using tube adapters and 12SN7’s sound better than 12AU7’s. Has anyone tried this? | |
| AGD Tempo in the house I’m enjoying the the AGD Audion’s now. If someone has the new Atmosphere GaN amps and are within a reasonable distance from (Maryland) I could bring the AGD’s over for a shoot-out. They are very lightweight and easy to transport. | |
| Are you pairing Tube Preamp/Line Stage with Class D Power Amp? I have the AGD Audion mono blocks. I have used the Vinnie Rossi LIO DHT, LTA Micro ZOTL and also use the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.3 preamps. All sound great with different flavors. The LIO DHT presents a wonderful holographic sound stage. The MZ and ... | |
| Power regeneration - good idea? PS audio? As @jl1ny said do not plug in a power hungry amp into the regen. My Coda #16 is 150/watts with the first 100 in class A. My P15 strangled the dynamics and when I plugged directly into the wall it cam3 alive | |
| Micro zotl 2 upgrade Get the full size MicroZOTL preamp. It is better than the AR, my opinion of course. | |
| Anyone own Linear Tube Audio Amps? I have the MZ pre, ZOTL40 and use Janszen zA2.1 hybrid electrostats. This is the ultimate in synergy and yes the ZOTL40 can power electrostats to glorious levels. | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) @audioquest4life I ordered my cables on December 3rd. I was told that the holidays had an impact but other than that I would get a notice when they shipped. If I were to describe the sound, I could only say that there is a complete lack of a so... | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) My F1 speaker cables arrived yesterday. That makes my wait about 5 weeks. They sound very good right away. | |
| GREAT NEWS! The Coda Technology new #16 amplifier will arrive this week @tomlhuffman I own both preamps now and I feel that the LTA MicroZOTL preamp with the most recent "plus" mods is superior to the Coda FET 07x preamp by a pretty good margin. The one advantage is the Coda has balanced in and out. Not to take away ... | |
| Which amp to use with Linear Tube Audio pre? The LTA preamps are a perfect match with their amps. The owner of LTA (Mark Schneider) uses Maggie’s at home with ZOTL40 and pre. Plenty of power. | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? @charcoalchuck , One of the reasons I chose it was that there is no modification. https://www.integrityhifi.ca/tru-lift | |
| Any Technics 1200GR Owners With Arm Upgrades? I installed a TRU-GLIDER PENDULUM FLOATING TONEARM on my SL1200GAE and it’s incredible. |
