| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated Excellent thoughts lanvz. I’m actually starting to lean towards a pure class A integrated like luxman or pass. I think I’m starting to narrow down finally. Thank you all for your experience and input. | |
| Deoxit for cables I use d5 deoxit. Flood the living hell out of the pots and let them dry for 48hrs. No more problems for years after that. | |
| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated The croft is intriguing. I've been doing some reading up on it. The sansui 1000a has around 40-50wpc of tube power. It's very powerful. I just wonder what 100-200wpc of these new ss integrated would sound like. I might stay with tubes. These 19's ... | |
| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated It doesn't use the autoformers but I've heard it's still pretty Mc sounding. I haven't heard one but if you have then I trust your opinion. I could go the 2105 amp with mx110z pre route. I'm trying to keep under 4k. | |
| altec Model 19’s and ss integrated I was looking at a Vincent sv-800 hybrid also. Class a selectable. I find out they’re made in China and it turned me off. Kind of old school that way. Thanks for your suggestions. I’m kinda leaning towards a mc5200. 100wpc. Mc sound and if I dont ... | |
| Killing Joke anyone??? I love killing joke. Can’t believe this discussion. So intense. Their self titled album is one of my all time favs. I will definitely give hosannas a try. Don’t forget that Nirvana ripped them off and they were super cool about it. | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Go stake out his house and wait till he shows up. Confront him and tell him you’re not leaving without your unit. If he doesn’t give it to you, file a theft report with the local police. 15m house? Wtf. Most guys who work on these are very modest ... | |
| You cable haters please DO this. Sounds like you need a job. Can you swing a hammer? I’m looking for another carpenter who can still hear. | |
| Please , Thank you.Help in choosing a CD or a CD/Universal player Any Rega. I have a Saturn and love it. Very dependable and not bright sounding. | |
| Eric Clapton reveals this week of his declining health Too bad for Eric. I wish him all the best. Mark Knopfler is the greatest living guitarist according to EC himself and my personal fav. | |
| Coming out of the blackhole called work...retirement Buy some jbl 4350 studio monitors and some McIntosh tube gear and you’ll be right back where you left off and just as happy as you were in the 70s. You’ll be in it for 15-20k and it won’t lose value. Congrats on your retirement! | |
| Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA Vintage audio in the US goes for twice the price in Japan. They pay tons for the stuff that they made in the 60s and 70s. Example: sansui au 9500 here 700. In Japan 1500-2000. I’d love to start an export business in vintage Japanese audio. Too bad... | |
| NOS tubes I got a set of electro harmonix 7591 output tubes and 2 of the 4 went kaplooie in 2 months. I then sourced 4 nos Westinghouse and couldn’t believe how much better they were in their power delivery and Sonics. I only use telefunkens or Mullards for... | |
| Tube or Trasistor The tubes man! I dislike kt88 tubes. Also, tube preamp is the way to go with ss amp. Try a different set of tubes first. Then try a tube pre. |
