| Electrostatic Speakers/SS amp - what tube preamp? AE3 by Cary new/used still will be under your budget. Make sure that your poweramp input impedance is >=30k. | |
| Best sounding LP's Deutche Gramaphone are far not the best sounding ones. Angel are a-bit better.Among the classical ones the best ones probably RCA Victor.Despite that Angel has the best musicians and performances recorded.For jazz and rock I prefere German issues ... | |
| advice on brightness Summarizing this discussion I want to point out that wires being currently used do not bring an extra brightness and considered to be worm and great sounding for the budget. Audo Refinement components are less likely to bright eather along with th... | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Holy Ehm...Baker! I see lots of folks here recognize and love da rhythm stuff!I bet that some of you know Brain (Bill Laswell Praxis project)Also Dave Lambardo from Laswell trio with Frith...They're monsters that can literally eat out Larc Ulrich ... | |
| advice on brightness ...tryin' to think of something other than applying to your system Valhalla speaker wires and interconnects or something mega-uga.Firstly, I'd try to unterminate your speaker wires and use a bare-wire connection to your speakers and to the amplifi... | |
| other singers like Patricia Barber..... Yes, Flemke I've been waiting for that here bingo! | |
| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? I'd say that with SS that have >=47K impedance passives will do the best job for the money invested indeed. | |
| Name three of yours the most favourite drummers Z, I don't need to dance to a shuffle I usually aim to get high and some drummers I've listed can get me to that just by playing alone with no music...HINT: Getting high occurs from consuming a high dencity and intencity of a spiritual flux. It oc... | |
| Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How? Folks it is not only the impedance matching you should take into the consideration. In general SS amps give out full power with just 1V or bellow at input and tube preamps might have an extraneous gain. Many tube preamps have can be noisy if paire... | |
| Single Channel Attenuator Agree on that Eldartford, I too use RS pots to determine the right value of the resistor and than replace it with the high quality one... | |
| Amp problem: 10 of volume Not likely these are the fuses or output stage of the amp. Most likely it can be an input(driving) stage.There can be (not sure if that's the case) shunting of an input driving stage and feeding the output stage with the small signal.A professiona... | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? 185's isn't as vintage as mine 100's and for them you should ask Bea if it's possible anywhay... For mine she asked the price of $800 but yours probably go away cheaper since they don't have space issues like my tiny ones. | |
| VTL 750 Reference multicap upgrade to infinicaps ? Mejames,Ask Michael Percy and He'll answer that infinicaps are no better than multicaps RTX. They're simply perfect. Did you make a signature trans upgrade yet? | |
| Coupling cap upgrade possibilities for VTL? Z, what is currently used on your MB185? Power dropping, input and feedback resistors may even do a cheaper and more efficient upgrade...Truly saying, $800/pr is theoretically toooo much for 0.22...0.33uF. The most expencive might probably cost ar... |
