| Luxman LX33 Integrated Tube Amp. YEAH? NAY? Tape Out/Tape In? | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree To effer's list, I would add:Saul MarantzHenry KlossAvery FisherEdward VilchurPeter WalkerJon DahlquistRichard SequerraJohn CurlBruce MooreConrad and JohnsonArnold Nudell....and this only gets us up to about 1980, and I've undoubtedly left out som... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Syntax is in Germany or Austria. Someone here sent his FR64S to Japan, I think. Also, doesn't Frank Schroeder work on them, if one has the patience? | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp jay73, I did expand upon speakermaster's cryptic comment about impedance. See my post at 1:15 PM today, 05-08. If you have further questions, I will be happy to respond. | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 with 40 pound copper platter. And I keep reversing the alphanumeric designation. Toyota made a sports car in the 60s that they called the "2000GT". It's now very valuable to collectors. The Yamaha tt is "GT2000" or GT2000X. Sorry for any confusion. | |
| Ground Wire What fiesta just wrote.If you're using a fancy power block of some kind, it is at least remotely possible that in the power block, each plug or set of plugs is isolated from all the others. If the block is poorly designed, I can at least imagine ... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp I’d like to know more about the Crown amplifier, because it has been decades since I have heard or read about any new products under the Crown imprimatur. For example, are they class D amplifiers? Some people just categorically dislike class D amp... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system It was after living with the Nottingham that I became interested in first idler-drive turntables and then direct-drive. After purchasing both a Garrard 301 chassis and an NOS Lenco L75, and thinking for a bit, I decided to go with the Lenco, sell... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system To be clear, I am not necessarily pushing for the Triplanar over all the other very good tonearms also mentioned by others. There is not a loser among them. For me, not being able to close the cover (a potential issue with the Triplanar/SOTA com... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Russ, That's what I would have guessed ("Quality home audio, they are not."), and that was my point. Thanks. | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Peter Walker notwithstanding, what is a Crown amplifier these days? | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Googyfoot, Based on all that has gone before in this thread, I am not sure how you arrived at the "understanding" you describe above. What you wrote may fairly be characterized as your opinion. In your 3rd sentence, you use the term "mono cartri... | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads For reasons that are not obvious from the physics, copper does sound different from silver. (Yes, I know silver is a slightly better conductor, but explain to me how that affects SQ, assuming all audio frequencies are conducted with equal efficie... | |
| So Hard to Decide on an Amp Given the complex and low-ish impedance curve of the M-L speakers, I first of all think you would be best off with solid state amplification, even though I personally use only OTL tube amplifiers to drive ESLs. Among SS amplifier designers, I thin... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system $3200!!! Seems very high to me, but maybe that proves I am a troglodyte. Especially in light of the added $1600 cost to upgrade it further. Mine is about that old. I was actually at Herb Papier's house having mine upgraded to Mk7, or whatever wa... |
