| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update 'Unfortunately Owen passed away in a cycling accident a couple of weeks ago,..'OMG !!!!! It was Owen's posts and his custom arm board for the Terminator that convinced me to take the plunge and adopted the arm. We exchanged emails a couple of time... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dover It’s funny your mentioning high humidity in NZL. I had the impression, mistaken of course, that it was cold and dry down under ( all those Lord of The Rings movies ). I just checked and relative humidity in the 70’s - 80’s, similar to whe... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,With the additonal surge tanks, valve, filters,...etc, I had assume that there would be a drop in pressure at the arm. But as you say, it's the sound that matters. I think someone, maybe Terry (?), commented that music sounds livlier at higher... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don,The darker blue containers, seems like 20 litre, are surge tanks? There are two connected next to each other, and a third next to the turntable? You're getting a 6 psi reading out of the pump. Do you have a pressure gauge before the tonearm? I... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @ilaz How exciting!Rob is super responsive. We spoke a couple of time over the phone. And he walked me through a few impasses when I thought I was in over my head with the new toy. Do share your listening experience when you are all set up. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Don, I think 99% of Terminator owners have taken a few inconvenience for granted, e.g. having to wiggle a record out from under the manifold. The swing out arm pod is brilliant! I would never have arrived at that solution. However, with your Clear... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? Mactone MH 300b stereo amps with factory supplied Electro - Harmonix tubes. The amp has been in use for over a month. It is a 22 w push pull class AB design, not single ended. And they are driving Eminent Technology LFT-8b’s ( 83 dB ) with amazing... | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco @ilaz Currently a Audio Tekne MC 6310, internal impedance: 2 ohm, output : 0.1 mV, is in use. I pair the Linco C with a Lightspeed Passive Attenuator. The gain on the Lino C is set to +12db ( max setting ) which translate to gain in the high 70’s... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity Scot,very important information that you are sharing. The flexing of the panels adversely affect sound quality. I believe retrofitting vertical bracing to the sound anchor stands that I am using would be another solution. | |
| Channel D Lino C vs. Sutherland Little Loco I have a Lino C for over a year. And I have not compare it with the Little Loco. Both are trans- impedance phono stages in very similar price range.There is on feature of the Lino C which I would like to highlight. It is a battery operated device... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @bdp24 Acquiring an active x/o seems the versatile path with bi-amp or sub-woofer application. With an active x/o in the signal path, the advantage seems to be adjustability, a way to dial-in the most ‘appropriate’ sound. Would you say that an act... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned @arcticdeth I looked into warranty. If I am still living in the US , and bought there, then warranty applies. However, I now live in Asia, it’s a bit difficult to enforce. Audio brand like Quicksilver specifically void warranty for product sold ou... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned @roxy54 Thanks!A bit of an explanation on acquiring the Mactone I was so dejected with failed amps, and at the time not knowing the cause of the problem. I decided to look for a locally made amp. I live in Taiwan with many small electronic shops ... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT8B’s reversing woofer polarity @clio09 You have convinced me that active x/o is the way to go. And also, more research is needed before I jump in.@bdp24 The GR Research / Rythmik OB subs come with its own plate amps. Do you then use one set of amps for the M / T panels only? Y... | |
| 100 W Tube Amplifier Malfunctioned I am following up with this update and, embarrassingly, an apology. The real culprit to my amp problems turned out to the a malfunctioning power conditioner. The one used throughout my ordeal was a Audio Magic Stealth, a unit bought in the 90’s, ... |
