| going Pass Labs, do I need "Class A " ? I have the XA 60.5. didnt listen to the 350's. The XA60.5 has been a revelation in my system and has plenty of bass. Very tight and controlled. I think many times differences are due to interactions between amps front end and speakers. Dont make a... | |
| Upscale Audio -- Tubes and Reliability I got tubes from him in the past and also my CAD-500B monoblocks. Always a pleasure and I too recommend him highly. | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse You will not regret changing the caps (unless you choose the wrong cap :-). Everyone has their flavor of caps, I went through a lot of them for many many year. I would suggest you pick one that you know the after break in sound characteristics. It... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse I have an original IO i purchased used from a dealer. Rather than send it back for an upgrade, i changed all the capacitors myself except for the 2uf big ones with TFT teflons. It was a heck of a job. Understatement of the century. But worth it. T... | |
| Pass Labs XA30.5 with Dynaudio Confidence 5 I recently auditioned the 30's on my dynaudio special 25's. It wasn't enough power amp spent a lot of time in AB mode on anything with any bass Others in forums have said they have had success with the C1. At low volumes in a small room it may wor... | |
| 6922 tube recommendations I can vouch for Kevin at Upscale. I recently purchased 7308 and 6H30. Great tubes and great service. Also picked up equipment and couldn't be more pleased. Highly recomended. Jim Mcshane also great to deal with. | |

I lived, work there and still commute frequently. we send stuff for work and things ... | |
| Seeking good advice on electronics for my ML 's. I had the ascents. The Krell 2250 (and I assume their multichannl varients) worked awesome with that speaker. Ditto for my Cary SLM200 and Plinius SA250 Mk IV. I have used all of these with the ascents with great success. For home theater ( and no... | |
| Krell Resolution 2's VS Polk Audio LSi15 I have had the Response 2 for quite awhile now. I wrote a review here on audigon way back. Never heard the Polk speakers. Regarding home theater, I use mine for 2 channel. They will play loud but are also fantastic at low volume. Everything is sys... | |
| Cary SLP-98 -- Do Oil Caps make a Difference? I had SLP98 which I tried cary stock kimbers, jensens, hovlands and TFT teflons. Prior to that in other pieces I experimented with RTX, Wima and many others. You will not like the oil caps in that preamp although you may like them in an amplifier.... | |
| Cary SLP98L Tube Rolling I had an SLP98 with phono. My advice to you, unless you have the direct version, is to change your capacitors from the Kimber or the Cary oils to Teflons, REL TFT recommended (that is what I used so my recommendation). Will take a while to break i... | |
| Vintage vs. New Tube Amps I was a Scott collector at one time and had almost the whole range, was just short a few pieces. I was also into vintage for a long time. I have come to the conclusion for my ears that most (not all) vintage pieces are just not up to snuff with th... | |
| Tonearm for Transfiguration temper I have a transfiguration temper W and have had it installed in the following setups. Linn Lp12 with Naim ARO. Incredible dynamics, very neutral, excellent bass surprising me for this arm. VPI TNT with Graham 1.5TC. This is also an excellent match.... | |
| Audio Research SP 10 Go to audio asylum, do a search for posts from member "Bambi". Extensive tube rolling information. | |
| Help with phono cartridge loading/ARC SP6B preamp The 6B will not run your Helikon, you need a step up. There is a switch on the back to change from 54 to 6_ gain. But it still is not enough and the higher gain setting is very noisy. It was designed for moving magnets. The 47k is part of the desi... |
