| Anybody with specs on a Forte-44? No problem, I am pretty sure you are going to be pretty happy with it. | |
| TUBES 6922 pinched waist Be careful of the flavor of the month tube trap. If you can use 6DJ8's, and have new gear, or improved caps, Bugle Boys are about the best there is, if you have old gear, Telefunkins, or the Telsa tubes made on the old Telefunkin machines are abou... | |
| Anybody with specs on a Forte-44? Hi South43,I have modded a few of these, and I can tell you that while unmoded they are very popular, once moded they are way better. The timbre is slightly off on brass, but in it's price point, it's one heck of a preamp. It has a lusty visceral ... | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier Hi Tom,BTW, if you are thinking, after talking to Jon, that you could buy new for less, trust me, you would have to spend at least 5 times what Jon would charge to get an amp off the shelf that sounds as good as a moded TNT.Best Regards,Lou | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier Hi Tom,Zobels are what you are talking about. I ALWAYS use them. Check out:http://passlabs.com/articles.htm Download and read the speaker cable article. I do not think this is your problem though, contact Jon Soderberg;http://www.rsvlonline.net/vi... | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier Hi,Were you able to get your TNT 200 repaired? If not, your local TV repair shop ought to be able to do this for you. I suspect your output devices may have gone bad. These are slightly difficult to locate. If your repair person cannot find them, ... | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier When you learn about Freds and good caps, that may be an option. | |
| A few questions for Green Mountain Europa owners Hi Roy,Thanks for the reply. I have debated responding to this, because I figure there is no point. Be that as it may;"Lou- the parts we use are stated on our miniscule website, and as Tennis Junky said- an Aurasound woofer (not fancy looking- res... | |
| Review: Acoustat Trans Nova Twin 200 Amplifier Not that it was worth it, resale is nothing on it, but for the heck of it I decided to mod a TNP preamp. After hearing a plethora of disparaging comments about it, and assuming that it was not such a horrid design after all... Well, I was complete... | |
| A few questions for Green Mountain Europa owners From what they show, it would appear that they are using sand cast resistors, and Solen caps. If so, I would think that some simple upgrades in the speaker's crossover parts might make it sound even better. I am not so sure that the coils are an i... | |
| A few questions for Green Mountain Europa owners Does anyone know what drivers they are using in these speakers?B/R,Lou | |
| A few questions for Green Mountain Europa owners Come on now guys, these things HAVE to have limited SPL's right?Regards,Lou | |
| Upgrade my Jolida on the cheap The Sony DVP-S9000ES is going for about $600-650 now. It's stock redbook is very impressive. If you can solder you can turn it into a monster for very little investment, or what I consider very little, under $150. Replace the caps in the audio sec... | |
| Review: Forte 40 Preamplifier Actually, if I understood Jon Soderberg [formerly of Threshold/Forte] correctly, Nelson Pass did not design this preamp, though it certainly smokes much of the competition. He is now doing some awesome mods to these, and the F-44, it takes them to... | |
| Sonic differences between Conrad Johnson preamps Sugarbrie said;"The CJ PFR solid state preamp is a close clone of the Motif MC-10. The Motif line did have many higher spec parts than the cloned CJ models."Perhaps, but the PF-R has soft recovery diodes, meaning low level detail will not be lost ... |
