| Esotar T-330D Tweeter I wonder if you gave DYNAUDIO a call, they may have the tweeter as they supplied them to Eggleston Works. They are the largest supplier of Drivers in the world. | |

| How to tell which BlueRays have good audio Are you using the HDMI for audio ? Any great sounding system I have heard that mixes video with audio uses a Bal XLR cable to the preamp and HDMI to the TV. Does the Marantz have XLR audio outs?? I know the OPPO BDP105 does. Not sure on the OPPO 103. | |
| Wet speaker cables Wow water and electricity dont work well together..I would replace them. If it were my syatem I wouldnt even consider using them. | |
| Rega RP3 Bias/Anti-Skate Anti Skate on the REGA RP3 should be set to the same as tracking force.Yes you can play around with it while the record is spinning. Be careful ,make small adjusts. | |
| Are 45rpms worth the price? IMO, NO they are not. 45,s play very short and the sound is not near what a good original 33 1/3 album sounds like. I stay away. And those NEW pressings dont sound any better or worse than a used LP from 30 yrs ago. | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Dammit! Al, I would love to spend an evening with you listening and drinking. Here's my question Al. I have never tried tube amps and I am fearful that I would miss some SLAM and Impact of the presentation. Does your system belt it out pretty loud... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Jallen I just put in a pair of MAZDA CIFTIES-12AU7's and I really like the top end end on these. Awesome sounding tube made in 1962 for the French Military. | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Almarg.....I am not sure what solid state amps you are speaking of. Not all ss amps DOUBLE IN POWER OUTPUT when the load changes. My McIntosh MC352,350w per channel Amp does not change in power output for 8,4 or 2 ohm loads. So I am perplexed by y... | |
| cd player preamp combo into a stand alone preamp Well you can bypass the Sonic Frontier and go direct to amp using the VARIABLE outs on the Meridian. If that sounds better or if you mind Not having a preamp in the loop. Go with the Sonic Frontier with the Meridian and use the FIXED outs on the C... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Tobb.....I am really stuck with the big watt SS amp because my speakers don't really work with lower watt tube amps. My next upgrade will be a new Tube Preamp. I will say that I like to listen fairly loud ,the Darker speakers with the powerful amp... | |
| Wood glue method of record cleaning I totally agree with Chayro...Get a Spin Clean. Wet washing records is the only real way to clean them AND the Spin Clean Fluid is Awesome. I use Gruve Glide to treat the record after I wash them. This process really makes a noticeably quieter rec... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? For me the Amp I am currently in love with (and so are my speakers)is a McIntosh MC352. Charlie Randal's Finest SS Amp design. | |
| Upgrade Help: CDP or DAC I reccomend the Z dac also. Consider using a DIP from Monarchy Audio $150 new. it goes between the transport and DAC It kills Jitter and re-clocks the timing elements in the signal before it hits the DAC. In addition you can then use a BAL XLR dig... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Hello I think most great sounding tube amps are of the 75w per channel or less type. Because these amps drive high SENSITIVITY speakers well.Efficiency and Sensitivity are words that get confused when talking about speakers.Sensitive speakers that... |
