| Help with European/US turntable If you can not find an pulley for 60 cycles you have to look for something like an used PSAudio P300 that has 50 Hz capability. It will also improve the motor performance as it has a lower distortion than mains and you can fine tune the motor supp... | |
| Audio Research SP10 vs ? Since you got used to an Audio Research two box preamplifier you need an Anniversary Edition Reference Preamplifier ... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Although the PV11 was less noisy than the PV9, for me the PV9 was much better sounding than the PV11. I had both with a MV125 driving Quad ESL63 and it was a great combination! | |
| Electrocompaniet class D ? As Elberoth2 said the power transformers are hidden in the amplifier bottom behind a cover. They use large but slim toroidal power transformers. I hosted the AW180s (the little brothers of the AW400) for some time and they are wonderful amplifiers... | |

The technician who services my equipment already repaired several and once told me that it is a lot of work as the amplifier is very compact and accessibility is not great.If they ... | |
| Classe M1000 Great amplifiers. They need about 60 minutes from switch on to reach their cruising speed, but can drive anything. Considering age, I would replace the blue electrolytic capacitors in the amplifier boards with modern ones and enjoy for many years! | |
| How's the Audio Research Ref Phono 2 Working Out? Prior to getting the Anniversary preamplifier I told everyone that the Ref2 phono was the biggest jump I have ever had in my system.If you have the right system and cables for it, it will help you to forget about the "vinyl sound" and focus on the... | |

| Pat Metheny - One Quiet Night I had the pleasure of being at a Pat Metheny solo concert when he was presenting "One Quiet night" - it was the opening piece. It was a great session, happily the CD and my Soundlab A1 PX help me to keep memory of it! | |
