| Svetlana 6N1P in new ARC VS55 I just "say no" to NOS. Thanks anyway.I am sure they sound great but I am poor! Great hobby to have if you have no job, no prospects, and no future. This is what being in the high end audio business 10 years has done for me! | |
| Svetlana 6N1P in new ARC VS55 ARC just says NO to the 6N1P in my VT60 and in the pre amps designed for the 6DJ8/6922. | |
| Ariston Tunrtable I had an RD11S, I don't remember the difference bewteen the S and the E but mine sounded very good. I was using a SME III with a nude mounted EMT XSD15 moving coil, killer combo for the time(1978-83)! Mine did need to have the motor lubricated fro... | |
| recommendations for tube dampers??? The Audio Research clear tube damper rings have worked well in several units I have tried them in and are inexpensive.They seem to add greater clarity overall with better bass slam and texture.Results may vary with different components. I use them... | |
| Old Dyna amp -- Worth Repairing?? Dog, the first thing to look at on a Dynaco amp would be the tube sockets for an intermitent "hiss/hum". Try wiggling the driver tube gently(the small one, it's a 7199 if it's a ST 70)on the channel that makes the noise. If it goes away or makes t... | |
| Comparing AQ Diamonds to the new AQ interconnects I understand you shouldn't run the networked cables(MIT,Transparent)on a burner. I would love to try one out, I am sure that is why some of the cables I listened to 15 years ago sounded bad, I didn't know anything about cable burn in back then. | |
| Comparing AQ Diamonds to the new AQ interconnects Can any of you tell me what the Daimonds sound like before they break in? A friend got a demo pair from a dealer and brought them over here and I have no idea if they had any time on them. They didn't sound at all like I thought a cable of this de... | |
| Svetlana 6N1P in new ARC VS55 Rlennan, that was what I was thinking.I doubt that they will work but I guess I will call Leanord at ARC, I hope he dosen't start yelling at me! It would be great if they would work in my pre amp(SP9) as well,I leave it on all the time since I don... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Costrosk,you and I do have a different idea of waht "shogun" means. My only real point of contention with what you are saying is that you can in fact"true" bi-wire with a single stereo amp. All of the speaker manufacturers that I am aware of that ... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Costrosk,No offense intended, It's too bad you feel that way though. I just think you might miss out on something , not to say that you need to spend 10K on speaker wire, it's just that all wires seem to sound different and it is a very complex sc... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables No,No,No! Oh well count me out of this one, ya'll have fun! (Maxgain leaves muttering to himself) | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Craig, to shotgun you would need two "true bi-wire" sets of speaker cables. 8 seperate cables. It's just one of those hard to explain things. Enjoy the cung pow chicken. Your fortune cookie says "you will see it all very clearly soon"! ? | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Garfish, you are confusing shotgun with internal bi-wire, read Sean's last post or my zip cord analogy. You are correct about true bi-wire though. Go to the AudioQuest site and read their bi-wire explanation it will cover different possibilities. ... | |
| Benefits and Drawbacks to Shotgun Speaker Cables Buckingham,I think it will still confuse some out there. Looks like what you are doing IS (standard 2 terminal) shotgun. All conductors in each wire(which were intended to be used as +And-) are now grouped together as + in one cable and - in the s... | |
| How many of us have worked in audio stores? I did from 1977 to 1987. It about drove me nuts at the end! It is alot like posting here. "wire is wire", "my friend has better stuff than you sell" and the EE guys make you wish you worked at ToysRus instead. Most of the customers are fun though ... |
