| Primaluna Prologue 4 tube upgrades The 7316 is a direct sub for the 12AU7, ECC82 etc, pre amp tube. It is selected for low noise and high reliability and has been made with more than one architecture. The were intended for fine instrument and computer use. They are, if real, my str... | |
| Sony XA 5400 ES display has gone blank x2 When they run out of reasonable excuses they always blame the customer. It is almost predictable. One would think there would be enough money in repairing these pieces but it probably gets ridiculously exorbitant pretty fast, thus the move on stat... | |
| Primaluna Prologue 4 tube upgrades I think there is an active community of people who have rolled tubes in the Prima Luna amps, and I am surprised no one has responded to you thus far. I really like the Gold Lion (Ru.) KT-88s and think you will like them as well. It can't hurt to g... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem No not really, I have aluminum inverted tweeters on my Focal Electras and the tweeter was mercilessly and revealed everything in the system. I got some tube power amps and Holy Moly these tweeters found the right amplification and I don't mean rol... | |
| My recent experience in PayPal dispute Sounds like a ridiculous policy. It would give the buyer a 6 month money back warranty. I think that is more than enough time too ruin a previously good piece of gear. I understand protecting the buyer against.. DOA but I don't know how long after... | |
| 220 power conversion to 110. I own a DA-60 integrated amp know of a guy in Long Island N.y., he is an authorized Jadis repairman . I have root around for his name and address. There is a dealer in Florida who mighty be able to help you I suggest you do a search to find him, b... | |
| Best cartridge match for my Phono Preamp Does your phono stage come with any kind of parameters like minimum input voltage? There should be some kind of favorite cart depending on price point and general and presentation. What did you and dislike about the Ortofon , that company alone of... | |
| Which cartridge in a Nottingham Analogue? I used a relatively lower priced Goldring ?1012? or the 1042, which came with the earlier MMF-5s (currently in storage) which had a very different presentation to Dynevector I mentioned above. The !042 sound is vert cohesive and pretty, but not th... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem Breakin is a combination of several factors. The easiest notion to comprehend is loosening up the surround and the many important elements of the suspension. If wood is a major player the cabinet it cont... | |
| Your Help Choosing Speakers needed I eally hate doing this, but buy both and sell the pair you didn't find suited your taste.Also let me be first pain in the neck by suggesting other speakers. The problem is finding is finding such low cost speakers even used. If you can ante up mo... | |
| Wharfedale Jade 3 aluminium tweeter problem There may be more break in needed with an aluminum tweeter and overall most speakers continue to mature and evolve over the first year or so. If your using class D power this kind of sound is not that unusual. An expensive approach albeit hard to ... | |
| Help me decide Revel or Focal Ricred- don't be put off by all this negativism about the Focals. They are analytical and after they are broken in the sound is more like a pure crystalline holograph. The key and please trust me here is a good tube power amp. You will be amazed. | |
| High End Speaker Prices I couldn't agree with Jond more. Most of our hobby it seems depends on firms with only one or two people behind them, though they appear to be major players. It is obvious when tragedy strikes or one simply retires. The lack of high volumes makes ... | |
| What to upgrade first for better sound quality? You can always get more hung up with things like a cartridge, then oops the tone arm is not the best for this cart. and the whole set up doesn't work optimally with this table etc. etc.. It is kind of humorous though that an $80 mat made such a bi... |
