| KT88 Opinions Check out this thread about KT88http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&1137113886&read&keyw&zzvac=kt88Also a happy camper with the genelex gold lion re-issues, a truly excellent choice. | |
| Anyone purchased the Doors vinyl box set? I have mine and like it very much. | |
| Genalex GL KT88 Reissue on Conrad Johnson 12 I am running these in VAC Avatar Super, I had an inital problem that was unrelated to the tube itself. They have been great since. They are absolutely fantastic sounding tubes. | |
| Von Schweikert VR4jr vs B&W N802 4JRs all the way. | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules Flkin,Most of the used records I purchase may not be in such a stressed situation as a "termite eaten LP" but I have had some tougher ones that cleaned up amazingly well. I have also had new records that had a lot of ticks, pops, and crackles both... | |
| A Newbie's First Week Impressions -- Vinyl Rules Flkin,The more you clean vinyl, the more dirty they get and the more pops and crackles you hear. Most of the records I have (that haven't been eaten up by termites) do not have static nor pop sounds because I've never cleaned them from day one.I d... | |
| Will these HT amp/pre/pro's give me 2 chnl bliss? Jeff, you have a good approach - you are taking a similar path to one I started a few years ago. I started out biased to HT and multi-channel music but kept getting drawn into the fun of good 2 channel music. I am sure that you will be able to ach... | |
| Will these HT amp/pre/pro's give me 2 chnl bliss? I have an integrated and ht receiver in my system and it is not much of a challenge for family members because when I am not listening to music I flip the knob to home theater setting and that is all there is to it. Whoever wants to watch tv or a ... | |
| Speaker A/B Option With Separates? I am not sure what the parasound left/right volume control gets you in the context of a multi-room application but it is no doubt a good option and I did not intend to slight the recommendation. By having a second amp or receiver you can play diff... | |
| Which Sound Set Up if Any The Von Schweikert route would be good but I would seriously look at the matching VS-1 sub to go with it for matchings sake. | |
| Speaker A/B Option With Separates? I agree with Elevick. I would find a decent used receiver that you can hook the pre-outs from the pre-amp into and then have a seperate volume control. | |
| K&K phono stage Clearaudio Champion/Satisfy/ZYX Airy 3-S-SB. David 12, what loading are you using? | |
| K&K phono stage Call Kevin, he is very helpful and will spend the time it takes to get you what is needed.http://www.kandkaudio.comFrom the web site:MC load switching (25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1.6K, and 47K ohms) using Caddock MK-132 resistors and a custom Gra... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for VPI Scoutmaster The airy 3 comes in both .24mv and .48mv, I am not sure about a .34mv version as mentioned in the original response post. The airy 3 is a very nice cartridge if you have a good matching phono. | |
| question about the "analog sound" I agree with CPK, the most likely culprit if your system can deliver the goods with a different source is your analog set-up. Some carts are better than others for specific attributes, you have the synergy with the phono amp, and the specific twea... |
